Lite-salt, orange juice, etc. All does the same. After consuming a bit of potassium, I always get watery diarrhea and the feeling of like water pumped inside my bowel. My blood test says that I'm potassium deficient but I don't know how to up my potassium levels while my body doesn't absorb it...
Food pattern modeling shows that the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for sodium and potassium cannot be met simultaneously. - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract
The 2010 US Dietary Guidelines recommended limiting intake of sodium to 1500 mg/d for people older than 50 years, African Americans, and those suffering...
There is a somewhat well known idea of Ray's that says insulin plays a smaller part in the insulin effect than insulin itself. While potassium looks to be the main actor in getting glucose into cells.

First time I heard about potassium having an effect on blood sugar, it was @Jon mentioning it as helping the absorption of sugar into cells. Then today, as I was reading the RBTI thread started by @tara, there was mention, I believed by @Miguel, that high-Brix intake (I presume high potassium...
A definitive account of the membrane 'pump' idea has been published by Gilbert Ling.

Mechanism of Hypokalemia in Magnesium Deficiency

"Herein is reviewed literature suggesting that magnesium deficiency exacerbates potassium wasting by increasing distal potassium secretion. A decrease in intracellular magnesium, caused by magnesium...
The purported existence of pumps is the official reason why Gilbert Ling's AI hypothesis was removed from Wikipedia. I posted a few days ago about the "newly" discovered role of ATP as a protein hydrotrope and co-solvent - something Ling postulated back in the 1950s.
Gilbert Ling's Theory...
Hello everyone,
I was just reading something and it got my interest. This website says 'potassium is needed for the conversion of glucose to glycogen'. Im not sure if this is already on the forum but i couldn't find it. Seemed pretty interesting to me, this is the link: Role of Potassium in...
Street violinists,
I realized one of these days that a lot of people with intestinal problems tend to avoid the exact foods that provide a lot of potassium due to their reactions to the carbohydrates in those foods. Mainly: milk, starch or fruits. Not only that but it usually starts with poor...

Micronutrient intakes of wild primates: are humans different? - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract
Low micronutrient intake is implicated in a diversity of human health problems, ranging from problems associated with food insufficiency to those associated with food over-consumption. Humans are members of...
hi everyone!
i was upping my carbs a bit cause i see potatoes help the most with my fatty liver issue than juices and fructose.
Non gluten spagetti give some kind of bad reaction, dont know why. maybe is the extruded protein. no idea...i think is related too with my liver not working 100%.
i...
I'm in a bind. I'm almost positive I have low potassium levels. I use Magnesium oil, drink plenty of milk for calcium, get plenty of sodium, use taurine, and I still have muscle twitching/fatigue/dry skin and hair/other symptoms of potassium deficiency. I don't have a lab anywhere near me that...
The study was done on teenage girls, but it supports Ray's ideas about these minerals. Maybe they'll do similar studies on adults soon?

Is there a good way to supplement potassium?
Anyone had good results doing so?
I also heard somewhere you should not to so without taking sodium with it.
Cronometer has come out with some new features (for gold plan members). They show a PRAL Alkalinity scale, zinc : copper ratio, calcium : magnesium ratio, and sodium : potassium ratio. Any of these could be a topic in itself.
As you probably know, RP recommended diet is pretty low in sodium...
I'm on an elimination diet. Trying to figure out which specific things are causing problems (chronic constipation {SIBO}, PCOS, Hypothyroid, allergies {although, I'm allergic to dust so it will probably not be possible to determine if any food source is causing allergies, since dust is...
