I don't believe in Ion channels or proton pumps. I subscribe to Ray Peats theory that the whole cell is permeable and it's permeability is dependent on it's energy state and water content.
In the following picture one should picture the whole cellular membrane as capable of acting as a pump or a channel, depending on it's energy status.
Perhaps the reason administration of potassium has an anesthetic effect is by adding negative K+ ions outside the cells that reduces the voltage across the cellular membrane.
Reduction in cellular voltage is reduction in life force/conciousness

The cell's self-generated "electrome": The biophysical essence of the immaterial dimension of Life?
In the classical "mind-body" wording, "body" is usually associated with the "mass aspect" of living entities and "mind" with the "immaterial" one. Thoughts, consciousness and soul are classified as immaterial. A most challenging question emerges: Can something that is truly immaterial, thus that in the wording of physics has no mass, exist at all? Many will answer: "No, impossible." My answer is that it is very well possible, that no esoteric mechanisms need to be invoked, but that this possibility is inherent to 2 well established but undervalued physiological mechanisms. The first one is electrical in nature. In analogy with "genome," "proteome" etc. "electrome" (a novel term) stands for the totality of all ionic currents of any living entity, from the cellular to the organismal level. Cellular electricity is truly vital. Death of any cell ensues at the very moment that it irreversibly (excluding regeneration) loses its ability to realize its electrical dimension. The second mechanism involves communication activity that is invariably executed by sender-receiver entities that incessantly handle information. Information itself is immaterial (= no mass). Both mechanisms are instrumental to the functioning of all cells, in particular to their still enigmatic cognitive memory system. Ionic/electrical currents associated with the cytoskeleton likely play a key role but have been largely overlooked. This paper aims at initiating a discussion platform from which students with different backgrounds but all interested in the immaterial dimension of life could engage in elaborating an integrating vocabulary and in initiating experimental approaches.

Left: Two key features are seldom represented in classical pictures of a model cell. The first one concerns its “electrical dimension,” represented here by the voltage gradient over the plasma membrane and the ability of cells to drive, at least during part of the cell cycle, a self-generated electric current through themselves. In unstimulated (= resting) cells the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane is at negative potential. The second feature is that cells have 2 memory systems, the genetic/epigenetic one which is well understood, and the cognitive one which remains highly enigmatic. Right: The voltage gradient over the plasma membrane is based upon a gradient of inorganic ions. In animal cells, the cytoplasm contains more K+ [POTASSIUM] than e.g. blood, while the opposite situation prevails for Na+. Ion pumps are enzymes that can transport an ion against its concentration gradient. This process requires energy delivered by the mitochondria (M). Ion channels allow the passage of a particular ion(s) down its gradient. This is a passive process; it does not require energy. The membrane potential results mainly from the interplay between ion pumps and channels.5,14
It would also explain why things like potassium and magnesium also work as anesthetics.
Perhaps the reason administration of potassium has an anesthetic effect is by adding negative K+ ions outside the cells that reduces the voltage across the cellular membrane.

Sharing the ability to generate their own inorganic ion-based “electrical dimension” by cells. (A) For the topic “Cell Division,” textbooks usually focus only on the transfer of genetic information, e.g., during mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. In this approach, the electrical dimension is assumed to arise de novo in the daughter cells and to fully depend on DNA → RNA→ Proteins. (B) At cell division, not only the genome gets divided over the daughter cells, but the existing electrical properties of the parental cell as well and this in both eukaryotic (B) and prokaryotic (C) cells. (D). As the outcome of “the double asymmetry principle,”5,19 all cells of a differentiated multicellular system acquire different membrane properties and can therefore generate an individualized “electrome.” A: from ref. 20, B: from ref. 21, and C: from refs. 20, 21 but modified.
