Think about this:: If you urinate just 10 cc more than you take as food or drink per day, in 1 year, you'll be 3.6 liters drier and in 5 years, 20 liters behind! (not possible). No, your kidneys carefully balance your fluids. What low aldosterone and angiotensin control is your BP and your sodium ; potassium. Flurinef will raise your BP and help you retain sodium and excrete potassium.
