MoreHi Trapper,
I've been reading in some of your posts, you mention potassium chloride as useful in some cases while using high-dose iodine, for help with bromide mopup.
If I am remembering what I read correctly, you are familiar with your body's signals for being too low on either end of the Potassium-natrium (salt) balance.
Would you please tell what those cues are that tell you which one to use, or link to posts relevant to it?
Looking forwards to when my potassium chloride is delivered. :-)
(Have used this page, 'understanding potassium' already, though it's not as specific.)
I think among the symptoms listed is heart flutters (abnormal heartbeat that can happen just a little after an Iodine dose)?

Its pretty tough to know with any real accuracy how much potassium you need in direct relation to salt intake but generally speaking most people dont even come close to getting the RDA value of potassium and at the same time consume a lot of salt via processed foods creating an unnatural and unhealthy balance.
I would start by logging your food intake and using an online food database like that provided by the fda to log how much potassium you are getting from food. Then add potassium supplementation throughout the day to try and get to 4700mg which is the current FDA recommendation. I generally dont have a lot of faith in the FDA numbers but potassium was recently restudied (2006 I think) and they raised it from something like 2000mg to 4700mg so I think at least where potassium is concerned they are much more accurate than for most nutrients.
Keep in mind potassium can be rough on the stomach, so start with small doses and work up taking multiple doses throughout the day.

This is a reply to # 2,153,391I find that when I'm tending to get cramps (usually feet and legs), potassium chloride makes it go away real fast - in most cases.

This is a reply to # 2,153,391well, you kinda hafta go figger.
i am still playing with potassium. it certainly helps the heart.
salt is something that you eat at will. if you dont need it, it wont taste good.
IMAM is a good way to salt up. i double the potassium chloride in it from 1/2 tsp to a full one.- Re: how do I know when I need to up ... illys / elisah

This is a reply to # 2,153,685IMAM is an anacronym I've been hearing a lot, but I haven't seen a 'splaination yet. ;)
I'm not having muscle spasms, but a /lot/ of dry skin, often achey joints, sometimes popping cartilage, and here and there, ringing ears.
Ferventerer: I've been focusing on only homemade foods. ;) I check the labels through and through, so actual salt intake is more or less limited to exactly what I put on the plate.
Trapper: OMG I can relate, there are times when a salt push tastes like sweet heaven!
IMAM recipie
AHA!
... Mrmh..
Ok. Just going to need the bionic hand prostetic for filling those capsules.
Good lord willing, that be soon. ;) Have gotten several green lights for it in making my application with the prostetic workshop here in DK.
The joint aches, etc, are quite likely linked to not having done a parasite cleanse.
Got a PM from a person who has cleansed, and who's elderly mother has done 2 parasite cleanses with Amalgams still in, looks like it should be doable for myself.
Thanks Trapper, Ferventer & genespleen, for the quick replies!
Have read in the comments in the above link that magnesium, taurate and inositol all increase the cellular uptake of potassium, and I have been using Mg Taurate for the past 3 months. A deficiency is likely, but detox..
LOL. Lets just say I hate doing without the Iodine. :)Advertisement

This is a reply to # 2,153,706here is what to do (the capsules are experimental) that WORKS:
Latest Recipe
Makes 2 Liters (Quarts) of mix. The idea was to produce a palatable delivery that contains sufficient water to push the salt and toxins past the kidneys.
- 2 Liters (Quarts) of the purest carbonated water.
- 4 rounded tsp of Pickling\Canning Salt. Pickling\Canning Salt is generally larger in size therefore the rounded spoons. For those using fine Pure WHITE Sea Salt use level tsps or best weigh out 20 grams.
- 1/2 - 1 tsp of Potassium Chloride. A must for Adrenal fatigue and cancers.
- 1 tsp of Pharma Grade Ascorbic Acid, no not ascorbate or other substitutes
- 1 tsp of citric acid
Notes
- Originally Soda water had a good Sodium Chloride content, with carbonation it becomes easier to take the salt load. One should start with very low PPM water and slowly add all ingredients if the water is already carbonated, else carbonate it after all has dissolved.
- Pure Salt means salt as close to Sodium Chloride as possible, with absolutely no flow agents.
- Absolutely no flow agents in the Potassium Chloride, usually sold as salt substitute
- Best to buy citric acid used in home Wine making
sip a batch of that through the day for a while. then experiment.
