Dr. Eck discovered that a low Na/K ratio is associated with chronic infection.

Jmartin22- I found this article on the ARL website about 5 months into NB. This is the article that prompted me to address my own chronic infections which has ultimately brought about my current level of health.

Infections

Dr. Paul Eck discovered that a low Na/K ratio is associated with chronic infection somewhere in the body. The average person may have at least half a dozen or more chronic infections. Common sites are the eyes, ears, sinuses, teeth, intestines, joints and elsewhere.

Eliminating these infections is not easy. They may be very low-grade with few symptoms. One may experience post-nasal drip, or slight aches and pains, or other vague symptoms from time to time. Often one has little idea of the presence of these infections.

The infection may be walled off or in areas with poor circulation so that blood circulation and nutritional remedies or even antibiotics have difficulty reaching the infected area.

The nutritional balancing program contains infection-fighting nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and copper. However, these may not be enough to correct some deep-seated infections. A low Na/K ratio that persists in spite of a balancing program for several years may indicate a hidden chronic infection that requires extra attention.

Once I started attacking the infections my Na/K ratio improved dramatically. Maybe something to consider anyway.
