Re: Potassium Bicarb, Deficiencies, leg cramping

"How much salt do you take? Dr. B suggested adding about a tsp. and a half to my usual routine."

This is a good suggestion IMO; I am close to this myself, with minimum of 2 liters of water a day.

I believe that when you have balanced the electrolytes you will see the picture much clearer; just now everything seems muddy, right ?

I do some herbs; and one I can recommend is pau d arco; as it is anti fungal, anti viral and anti cancer + can improve circulation and promote digestion.
My digestion is helped by high iodine, high vit C and B + a little bitter before or after meals (type angostura) and enzyme supplements, as this is typically low if you are hypo T.

Pau d'arco is promoted as a cure for dozens of illnesses and medical conditions, including arthritis, ulcers, diabetes, and cancer. Proponents also claim that, when taken internally, pau d'arco relieves infections, reduces inflammation, promotes digestion, strengthens the immune system, flushes toxins from the body, and protects against cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Proponents also use it to treat lupus, osteomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, psoriasis, and to relieve pain. Some use the boiled bark externally as a poultice or use the strained liquid as a wash to treat skin inflammations, fungal infections, hemorrhoids, eczema, and wounds
