It helped me alot that you were willing to share your experiment with RealSalt and tri-salts balance. Your notes helped me refine my own approach, which has now gone from totally haphazard to mildly chaotic. Since I'm focussing on salt/potassium balance in my water (and leaving my dietary amounts alone), here is some number crunching for your notes. When you used 1/4 t RealSalt and 1/4 t tri-salts per quart water, your sodium/potassium ratio was 4.6. In Newport's original Adrenal Miracle Mix using 1/4 t RealSalt and 1/4 t potassium chloride (KCl) (and ignoring the vitamin C for this purpose) per quart water, the sodium/potassium ratio was 0.7 (more potassium than sodium). In the newer version, he suggested a recipe to work for would be three times as much salt as potassium, which I understood to mean, for instance, 3/4 t RealSalt and 1/4 t KCl, which works out to be a sodium/potassium ratio of 2.2.
