Thank you for responding. How much raw garlic do your friends use daily? Assume they also have no evil spirits! 😁

They said 1 medium clove cut up in the morning. No vampires (but no girlfriends either), I like garlic, but I have never tried it for health benefits.

Thank you very much for your detailed response. Obviously, you are a well experienced health pro with valid concerns and recommendations. I will discuss GFR with my doc as well as why he added Spiro (diuretic) with Lisinopril. Cut coffee last week to see if any imbalance improvement is noted. Nothing significant to date. Again, much thanks for your attention and will keep you posted.
Go Mayo! 🙌✨️

Your experience sounds familiar. One idea from another culture that might possibly help and certainly will do no harm is to do what many Austrians and other central Europeans do and always have a glass of water when you have a cup of coffee. One cup plus one glass becomes a habit. It’s an old custom that could be a way of counteracting the diuretic effects of coffee. So there is stimulant, but with hydration. As habit, it might help gently.
