> First, it seems the main health complaints of the husband, excess vitamin D and hypercalcemia (excess Ca, calcium) are both unrelated to the wife's spiking of his drinking water with potassium (according to their conversation towards the end) which instead can cause hyperkalemia (excess K, potassium). You seem to be taking for granted that she's telling the truth there, that it was actually potassium she was spiking his water with. Why would you do that? Her attempt to deflect is the first time potassium was mentioned anywhere. > Consequently it doesn't seem like it could have anything to do with the husband's health complaints. Yeah, and the simplest explanation for that is that this was never about potassium at all. (Until she tried to make it so. I haven't seen her succeed with anyone besides you.) > This is the second reason that I'm doubtful about the husband's account. William of Ockham suggests it isn't his account you should be doubtful about, but hers. Like, her claim that it was a potassium supplement in the first place. That's all that needs to change for all the rest to make sense. So why take her word for it? > The style of writing makes it very hard for me to trust the author ... falls far short of the clarity that would be achieved by a straightforward telling of events in the order in which they happened Oh, wow. He pulls out one event, the most dramatic one, to start with. Unheard of! Who ever did that to spice up a story?!? (Oh, pretty much everyone who wants to spice up a story? Eh...) Then he starts from the beginning, mentions when he comes to that pull-out, and continues in chronological order. Really not all that hard to follow. (And this is one of the last posts on his blog, the "sum up the whole story" one. Reading through the whole blog would presumably give you your yearned-for chronological order.) > I have no idea what happened, to whom, and for what reasons And I have no idea how you can have no idea about that.
