Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010  Thanks, Zhen, I think the foods are laced anyway, regardless of sodium content. We recently used frozen low sodium turnip greens and my wife experienced an increase in BP and I as well. I was surprised at hers because it's usually 109/67. She is just not a hypertensive. But the next day we attended the Dr for a routine test and it was noted by the Dr at 144/83 - very unusual. When she came out I verified it with my monitor. I concluded it was the greens we ate. 24 hrs later her pressure is normal - no more of those greens. The good thing is she is checking her BP more regularly now. I've noticed before some foods effect my BP - maybe an allergy, but I don't select foods just because they sodium free. It doesn't necessarily mean they omit using another chemical which is not required for labeling. And the word "spices" reveals nothing. Regards Re: U.S. Plans Drive to Limit Salt in Foods It makes it hard to change salt intake when most foods have as much in them as they do. Most stores have limited low salt foods. what they do have costs more to buy and many have limited money to buy food. Most food that the poor can afford to by is loaded with salt.Even some of the better meats are hard to find that doesn't have added salt. >> right most have given up because no one ever changes they say.> > CE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah, I was told I had polymyalgia and there was nothing that could be done for it. Pretty soon, many women in my county learned about that endo.

That was the contention even with the sestimibi scan that showed the adenoma. It all went away when the adenoma was removed. Funny how things like that happen.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ah yes now I recall.CE Grim MDParathyroid had an adenoma. Removed the entire parathyroid. That came after battling with five docs and the HMO for five months. I had MEN1 testing which was negative.

CE Grim MDThe rest of the “polymyalgia” scam for me was that my HMO didn’t want to pay for parathyroid surgery. Since that was my insurance, I had no choice until I could escape. Thank God, I was able to escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 It is intriguing that there might be a connection between Lyme, commonly ignored and essential HTN unknown cause, and it would be pantheistic if the Lyme bacti caused the micro adenomas. Maybe other bacti as well. This implies also the bacti can be gotten from just the act of farming/gardening retaining pets. I once got a thing from handling chickens called Mississippi valley something and was told it caused calcium deposits in the lungs. The Ca surrounds the spore that travels on the manure.
