    I appreciated how he took into account my dilemma of having osteoporosis and needing calcium, at the same time as having high risk for kidney stones from too much calcium. Wish he would also help with the psychology involved -- give tips as to how to keep drinking 90 oz per day which I'm struggling with psychologically and physically. A mental tip or two, an idea for scheduling this, etc. would be helpful.
