Re: wanted to clarify if potassium is good for low adrenals?? - Take

[Guest guest]

. Please notice that 300mg is 0.3 gram, which is 0.3/5 tsp,

which is 0.06 tsp.

So, yes. 300mg is ok. And indeed, Andy has not only said that

potassium at these levels is ok, but that total electrolyte replacement,

which would include potassium, is basically mandatory for the adrenally

challenged among us. He has also pointed out the danger of using it

beyond about 1/2tsp = 0.5tsp, about a factor of 10 higher than you are

using it.

Andy told me potassium supplements are fine, just take with food and you

will not have a problem. We gave our little 50 lber 300 mg extra per

day. Also potatoes, melons and bananas have a ton of potassium.

Just in case you hadn't heard this, be very careful with the potassium,

ok? If you take too much, it can produce dangerous heart arhythmias.

Never take more than maybe 1/2 tsp of potassium salt per day.

The potassium is just one of the electrolytes. I'd suggest that instead

of just the potassium, you to a total electrolyte replacement. That

includes, sodium+chloride (table salt), potassium + chloride (lite

salt), calcium, magnesium, baking soda, sulfate (but only if you are low

in sulfate), and it's a good idea to mix vitamin C in with all that.

I have just increased my potassium and notice a big

improvement. After a few days chelating I would notice some

symptoms getting worse.. ONe was a fatigue which felt like

it related to my heart... sort of a drawn fatigue ... With the

added potassium that has gone...

My saliva adrenal test did not show as too bad , and I

always got sensitve to the herbs.. My doctor was about to try

the cortef but I feel now it is mostly due to lack of

minerals. and vitamins.. amino acids etc..

I also think the low potassium could be behind my low

stomach acid as it got lower after doing chelation... Potassium

is needed to make Hycrochloric acid..

Just for clarification when I spoke to Andy about potassium we never discussed

amounts, he gave me no parameters for dosage. Of course, potassium would only be

valuable/advised for someone who needs it. Those interested might want to ask

Andy as many of his recommendations have changed since AI.

It's either 1/2 or 1 tsp KCl, and I don't feel like going to look for

it

now.

To be safe, I'd suggest sticking to less than 1/2. Though as

just

pointed out, it seems he makes a cautionary reference to 1/5:

In Amalgam Illness Andy does say not to go above 1 g per day without a

doctor's supervision. That would be approximately 1/5 tsp.

Recently I bought the Lite Salt that contains potassium, and did 's test

with it and sea salt, to mix them each in water and see how they taste. She

says if it tastes good to you then you need it, meaning if the Lite Salt tastes

good, then you need potassium, if it tastes bad, then you don't need it, and the

same with the sea salt, which would be mostly sodium. Anyway, the Lite Salt

tasted bad to me, so I guess I don't need potassium, and the sea salt *always*

tastes good to me, so I need the sodium. And this fits with my adrenal status

too (they are weak, so salt is usually recommended), so this was interesting.

So if you're unsure, the *taste test* might be a good way to go.----------Jackie
