Donna Re: diet & exercise

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna, thanks for listening... so many don't and then get really

sick....... as for the water..... my ankles swell anyway and the water

helps to eliminate it by flushing the system...... but that is me and I do

not have your conditions....... The diet i sent is mainly used to kill

yeast infections in body...... or generally kill bad bacteria and is very

hard to keep and stick to..... but it sure helped me. Please..... consult

your doc re water...... doesn't sound right to me....... that the water

you drink has to do with the water you retain... I have heard the opposite

so please discuss this with your docs............... there are so many

diets out there and so many people are against meat as I kind of am... but

one doc told me with a bad immune system or any type of nerve damage or

pain, red meat is very very helpful.........a pure vegetarian diet I do

believe is not good for us... but that again is my opinion. I know that

when i am feeling really weak and hurting a lot. I will cook a good filet

mignon, go light on potato and drink lots and lots of GREEN tea and water,

and take my liverite religiously, which I don't usually do..... I feel

better within about 24 hours.... Please please consult your doctors re the

drinking of water that just doesn't sound right to me... but I love to be

wrong.... and as you can see I always think I am right...... so please

consult or do google search.... all I did for the kava thing was put

hepatitis liver kava kava and came up with 20x more than I posted..... so

do some research..... depend mainly on yourself and how your body feels,

next on your docs and least on our opinions.... but the water thing sounds

really weird to me... My mom had heart disease, Dad had cancer.... both

had water rentention BAD and both were told to drink the 54 oz a day.....

so do research, ask all your docs, consult nutritionist and do what feels

right........ but please check on the water thing, kay??????? love

ya....... tried to add you on my messenger.... but maybe you don't

have it..... BE as healthy as possible, try to keep a positive attitude

and get educated....... well not that you are not... but trust no one

source.... love and hugs, sally
