Hey Wuz, I wish I had the answers to this problem. The swollen ankles may be a sign of too much sodium but at the same time many of us may be lacking in enough natural sodium to heal our adrenals.
I don't know if swollen ankles are just a temporary discomfort while waiting for the sodium to do it's job on the adrenals....and when the adrenals are healed, then they will take care of the swollen ankle problem.
Unlike you Wuz, I do very well using high potassium foods and kelp to keep everything balanced....plus staying away from take out pizza...geepers, the salt in that stuff could turn us into a slab of cured meat. lol
I would also like for ML to address the other organs that regulate the kidneys....do they need natural sodium or something else to heal with?
