A little watermelon goes a long way for me. I don’t care too much for watermelon.

Those pickles are the best pickles on the planet.

Back to the main issue ... it has always amazed me that two cups, say, of watermelon has the effect of drinking two quarts of water or any other liquid I know of.

I didn't click on the video, but my grandmother used to make it. It was great. Hers had cinnamon in it.

For once, I read all the posts before posting. Not one word about anyone having CKD. I bet we’re all familiar with the TV commercial advertising a pharmaceutical for it tho’......

I was told by the doctor 3-4 years ago that I had CKD and I said, “Without symptoms? Wouldn’t I know it if I had a chronic anything?”

His reply was, “well, our kidneys get old.” He stopped me in the hallway when my husband was having an exam to tell me that. Not in an exam room. Needless to say, I don’t believe any of the hoopla...

Pay attention next time when you see/hear a TV commercial for any pharmaceutical...you can count the number of adverse effects - some as high as 10 - including death. The one I especially like is “If you’re allergic to any of the ingredients blah blah blah”...How does anyone know the ingredients of such and such medication?
