Medical Forum / General / Alternative / July 2008Natural Diuretic?
What are some harmnless natural diuretics? Tom > What are some harmnless natural diuretics? There are none, since the function of a diuretic is to override the body's natural management of blood chemistry, and that can be literally lethal in the wrong circumstances. Now, if you want some that are *relatively* safe and have known side-effect profiles, there are several. Caffeine and alcohol are two popular ones, but note that they do have potentially dangerous side-effects. | "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against | | unintelligible propositions.

If you attempt to eliminate ALL salt intake, you will most probably end up with 200% of your daily requirement. |
