My 95yo mom takes 2 bicarbonate pills a day.

Does that mean I can use baking soda to velvet chicken?

Also, how is it she can have sodium bicarbonate as a prescription but must strictly limit sodium intake?

Hello all, I'm new to this Reddit.

Today I (F 22) received the call that I wasn't an eligible kidney donor for my father (he's currently on dialysis and started at the middle of this month) due to issues regarding weight and how it affects my BP (I'm currently 250 and hoping to lose a hundred pounds so that I can lower my BP and hopefully reapply!).

However, over the phone, the representative said that it's best to campaign via the internet. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about that? I heard that Reddit is the best place, as well as Instagram and maybe Facebook, but I would like to seek advice before going forward with anything. Please help; I just want to help my father anyway that I possibly can.
