    You should put a disclaimer on these type of posts to "check with your MD before taking this advice" as you could be getting a lot of people sick with telling them to PUSH THE POTASSIUM to get a flat tummy. As a Registered Nurse I think you are practicing medicine without a license and should watch out. Seriously, if someone follows this advice and gets in touble you could be in trouble too.
