In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, ‘You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, ‘Yes!’ And Woman said, ‘I’ll have one too with chocolate chips’. And lo they gained 10 pounds.

And God created healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said, ‘Try my fresh green salad’. And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said ‘I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them’.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter, and Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds. God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. Then Satan said ‘You want fries with that?’ and Man replied, ‘Yes, and super size ‘em’. And Satan said, ‘It is good.’ And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed ………. and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then …………. Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
6. The French eat foie-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

First off I want to say that I know that there are no doctors on here. I am looking for people with similar experiences.
My wife has been having problems for about eight years, with what doctors think is an auto immune problem. I have been researching the heck out of this and I think that she has lupus. Her main complaints are bouts of severe dizzyness, dry mouth hard to talk, chew, and swallow, and severe muscle pain. The muscle pain around her neck is so bad that she cannot wear a tshirt. She can only wear tank tops with ultra thin straps that do not put pressure on her muscles. She was diagnosed with RA when she was a teen. I have read that doctors can confuse RA with lupus.
She has a aunt with lupus and RA is on both sides of the family.
To those who have Lupus do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
I also want to add that she has potassium problems which led to a heart problem ( a-fib), and she has anxiety, Her old doc only wanted to treat the anxiety.

My father is on a strict no potassium diet due kidney failure. I was wondering what foods contain no potassium at all.

I’m having leg and arm cramps, and my potassium level measured "low" at the doctor’s office, although they didn’t tell me how low…

I already know about "Lite Salt", but I’d need about 10 teaspoons of it.

Yes, my diet is terrible, and now I’m starting to pay for it!

I have read in multiple sources that the heat produced in the interior of the Earth is the result of "natural radioactivity". Specifically from the decay of Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium isotopes. So my question is this: What other naturally occurring processes are there that convert radioactivity into heat OTHER than fission? Because if fission is the only known process that can do this, isn’t it likely that fission does indeed take place deep inside the Earth? If not the core than perhaps in the lower mantle.

I have been reading over my medical records. I wake sometimes with a high pulse and go to the ER. I have been told:

PSVT
SVT
Right Axis Deviation
Sinus Tachycardia otherwise normal
ST Rhythm abnormal ECG
and even a Lateral Infarction!

I am only 26 and this is ridiculous. This is all from the same ER. I have also had a heart ultrasound and it was normal. All of my chest x-rays are normal except for one they noted a "pectus excavatum mild case" so I went to look up what this is and my chest looks nothing like that! I’ve never been told that before!

My diagnosis has been anxiety, low potassium/magnesium, PSVT. I was then told by one doctor who saw me I don’t have PSVT and they just don’t know why my heart rate is high when I wake up. I do notice every single one of my blood draws shows low Potassium/Magnesium, High Glucose (103-133 max when waking from a fast).

Is this hospital screwed up? What do I do? This is insane!
Maybe its because I am nervous and shake a little during the procedure? The lateral infarction was done by a medical student and it was noted they also gave me my IV. My diagnosis going home that day was a UTI with dehydration/low potassium/magnesium which was also given to me in the IV. Can low potassium/magnesium and an urinary infection screw with your heart rate? It gets 150’s at max during these episodes and scares the living heck out of me. It was 163 during the really flubbed up ecg because they made me very uncomfortable knowing it was a medical student. I kept calling for a doctor.

I think 1 banana for breakfast
Add 1 banana to your lunch

and add banana to your dinner as well as some spinach

Would that be enough? Can you also have a test done by a doctor to check your potassium levels.

(If someone has a potassium deficiency and is trying to maintain a healthy diet to make up for the amount lost due to being a celiac. )
