Potassium

[Guest guest]

Hi Mohamad,

I would resist any generalizations. We believe that CERTAIN frequencies at

CERTAIN times for CERTAIN people can deplete potassium to unsafe levels. We

think it is a lesser problem with contacts than with tubes. We think the detox

process normally does use up sulfur and potassium. For example, when Marilyn

used 10000 for 3 minutes with the tube, her sulfur and potassium levels used to

drop markedly, sometimes to the point of triggering an allergic-type reaction:

bodily inflammation, severe sinus headache, runny nose, sneezing. On the other

hand it has never affected me that way. We have learned to get sulfur and

potassium levels elevated before treatment and replenished afterwards. This

avoids the problem for her. It's necessary to keep in mind that individuals vary

in their physical conditions when they use Rife and therefore their reactions

very likely may vary as well. --- Larry and Marilyn

Potassium is usually depleted secondary to diuresis ( excessive urination)

from medications prescribed for high blood pressure. This mineral is held in the

blood profile in a very narrow parameter. It is very easy to upset this

narrow potassium balance thru this diuretic treatment or through the patient's

inablility to absorb Potassium from the gut. In either case, the symptomology

is

the same. I have never seen a case, never, of Potassium depletion in an

individual who is using frequency therapies and who is not on diuretic blood

pressure control.

I recently read an article on Potassium. The following are some

highlights that may intrest some.

KIDNEY STONES:

Potassium " Citrate " can help protect against Kidney stones. In 3

studies of 164,000 men and women for 4-12 years it was clear that

those who consumed the most potassium from food (at least 4000 mg a

day) had a 25-50% lower risk of kidney stones. Researchers have

also given potassium citrate to people who keep getting kidney

stones. These people went from an average of 20 stones per year for

the whole group to just 2 stones per year. People taking the

placebo had no reduction in the average number of stones.

Taking the potassium citrate supplements caused the amount of

calcium in urine to drop. There was more citrate in their urine to

bind up calcium and their urine became less acidic. These changes

make stones less likely to form.

BONE LOSS:

Potassium citrate may be able to slow bone loss. The citrate is

metabolized into bicarbonate to neutralize acid in the body. If

there's not enough bicarbonate available, the body takes calcium

carbonate from the bones to balance the acid excess. " and that can

lead to boon loss " . In a study 1560 mg. a day of potassium was

given. It cut the daily loss of calcium in the urine by 50 mg in

just two weeks. And there was a significant decline in the signs of

bone turnover.

TOO MUCH:

" Healthy " people can not get too much potassium from " food " . But

those who have trouble excreting excess potassium could consume too

much.

Potassium " supplements " on the other hand, can be toxic even to

healthy people. A dangerously irregular heart beat is the most

serious side effect) Other than what's in your multivitamin, don't

take a potassium supplement without your doctors approval.

Potassium " citrate " or " chloride " may help reduce High bloodpressure

and strokes.
