YEah...salt as a BP trigger is vastly overplayed. Especially if you live in a hot climate. You can conpensate by eating more potassium rich foods (provided you don't have an issue with Meds that may cause a potassium overload).mickey wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 5:36 pm Been in the hospital for a week, miss me????
Few months ago the medics told me to get the salt out of my diet.
I was in the hospital because I was having seizures.
After about a week the medics figured out that I was having seizures because I didn't Have enough salt in my diet.
That's what get for listening to them!!!

I need to feed that book into a personal ai engine and keep it in a Faraday bagPoodlesAgain wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 8:13 pm I have a book about diseases, looks like a oversized paperback, but thick as a dictionary.
The immense variety of ailments of all sorts is scary, some symptoms can be a 1 or a 10 in severity.
After a few pages, I have to put it down and close it.
I have a lot of respect for general practitioners in general. A guy walks in, and you have to scan your knowledge to see if anything fits with a known category, and this can have serious consequences, no OBD-II code reader mode.
True some are bad at it, or lazy, or did not make efforts to stay current (how?), but some are great at it, and it is beautful thing. Same with nurses.
And Mickey is getting better!
I had a old school book with nurses once too..well more of a magazine..but now it's all on the internetPoodlesAgain wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:32 am Sure. It is:
"Professional Guide to Diseases"
Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, publisher, 1319 pages.
I also have a nursing student anatomy book, recent edition, and also an old-school vintage version, with great graphics!
Who knew there was so many different parts, all ticking together (most times) in a human body!
Me too!!!!!!
