Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 First of all, the RDA for Potassium is 3,500 mg and the RDA for Sodium is 2,400 mg (about a teaspoon). When making Iodoral or Lugol's, there twice as much Potassium Iodide (KI) as Iodine (I), which for Iodoral yields 12.5 mg of Iodine in the tablet. So for each tablet, they take 5 mg of I and 10 mg of KI or a total of 15 mg, but only get 12.5 mg of Iodine, meaning there is 2.5 mg of potassium in each tablet. Even if your are taking 50 mg of Iodine a day in the form of Iodoral or Lugol's, you are only getting 10 mg of Potassium, a very small amount in relationship to the RDA of 3,500 mg. If we are salt loading, if anything most of us are more likely to be Potassium deficient in relationship to Sodium. > > Hi, > > Does anyone know whether the potassium in the iodine supplements can cause problems for someone who has low sodium / history of high potassium?

Kervran performed a controlled study proving that a chicken fed only a low-calcium diet of oats could still produce four times as much calcium as she had ingested by transforming potassium from the oats into calcium! Many other scientists, including Vauquelin, Sindler, Lawes, Gilbert, von Herzeele,Baranger, Komaki*, Korolkov, and Pappas obtained similar results in a wide variety of experiments. Their combined research indicates that plants, animals and micro-organisms regularly transmute the first 20 elements of the periodic table at the sub-atomic level using enzymes and hormones, with hydrogen or oxygen as the primary catalyst. Other examples of transmutation pathways for calcium have been discovered, such as: silicon plus carbon makes calcium. Life is far more adaptable than the chemists would have us believe! Deprive the chicken of calcium, and she can make good egg shells if she has potassium. Take away both potassium and calcium, and she will still produce strong egg shells with silica in her diet! The human body is also capable of apparent transmutations. In a paper published in the Journal of New Energy (1988) entitled: Electrically Induced Nuclear Fusion in the Living Cell, physics professor Dr. Panos T. Pappas challenges the Sodium-Potassium Pump hypothesis, whereby sodium is assumed to be continuously excreted by the cells, while potassium is continuously taken in.This hypothetical exchange process is regarded in Biology as truth and its results elevated to findings [even though] contemporary University textbooks in Biology admit that the assumed process is not understood. [eg: Molecular Cell Biology by Darnell et al.,pg 541] It is generally recognized by Biologists that the human body can maintain a normal ratio of sodium to potassium with or without intake of potassium. How is this possible? According to research conducted by Dr. Pappas over a 10 year period, the human body regularly transmutes sodium into potassium inside the cells. A failure of the body to transmute sodium leads to edema. Conversely, a failure of the kidneys to excrete excess potassium leads to cell poisoning. A number of chemists report that plants, animals and human beings ROUTINELY TRANSMUTE MID-RANGE ELEMENTS (for example, potassium into calcium or magnesium into calcium) AS PART OF THEIR ORDINARY DAILY METABOLISM. These transmutations obey rules such as: Mg + O => Ca; K + H => Ca. This is revolutionary since, according to current physical theory, the energy levels required for such transmutations are billions of times higher than what is available in biological systems. Equally inexplicable fission reactions such as Ca => Mg + O; Ca => K + H are also reported. But revolutions in physics have repeatedly occurred, such as the quantum revolution in which the radical property of non-locality, previously considered impossible, is now accepted by physicists (see Aspect and Grangier 1986, Bransden and Joachain 1989, p.671-681, Chiao et al 1993, Squires 1990, p.173, Rae 1986, p.25-44, and Penrose 1990, p.369). What I am presenting here is not the "cold fusion" of Fleischmann and Pons which, lacks clear evidence of actual fusion. Even if the Fleischmann and Pons effect turns out to be actual fusion, it is only the fusion of isotopes of the lightest element hydrogen under special laboratory conditions which is quite different from the UNEQUIVOCAL FUSION AND FISSION OF MID-RANGE elements found in biological transmutation reports.
