DeWayfarer oh the reason why was very clear in this case. Just didn't want to go into the details.
Every person's situation is different but we can all learn from other people's experiences.
For example, I use to have bad edema in my legs and feet and, even though I was on a diuretic, it wasn't very helpful. My new doctor didn't seem to take it seriously. One day I went to the doctor and he wasn't there and I saw another one. She put me on a new diuretic and it took immediate effect and quickly reduced the swelling. I dropped the previous doctor.
I also had periods of severe gout that hurt like hell. I never took any medicine for it other than pain pills, which really didn't help. I could usually walk it off in a couple of days. I finally started paying attention to what I was eating and drinking and keeping a written record. I quickly noticed that I got the pains when I ate certain foods and juices. Once I gave them up I haven't had the pains for the past couple of years.
Other foods caused severe acid reflux, and after spending a couple days in the hospital, the doctor made the connection and properly identified the condition. I also had to stop eating even more food items and beverages. I am now pain free.
So, when you have such aches and pains it's a good idea to write down what you have been eating and drinking and see if you can make a connection. If you can, then you can "cure" yourself by eliminating those foods and drinks.
