The powdered formaula looks really appealing -- for me too!
I will share the link with her.
I think she's taken aspirin for years, but not much in the way of any other pills. (tums) Cortisone to get her barely functional lately. One shot every 3 weeks or so, (and no doubt a history of cortisone, from the excema). Big craving for salt - is adrenals (?)
Could be or kidney issues casing hyonatremia. Problem is that high sodium also leads to bone deterioration. Make sure she uses a trace element salt to reduce the sodium and to provide other minerals for the bones.
And then there is "insulin resistance". It begins to sound like a house of cards...
Insulin resistance is best addressed with chromium polynicotinate (not picolinate) 200mcg 3 times daily with meals. Magnesium malate can also help. Recommended dose is 300mg twice daily with meals.
