potassium, suppressed information

[Guest guest]

Morning Mindy, Frank, and the list,

 

>>Supplementing how? I mean, I know you're adding potassium...but in what

>ways? What foods and/or potassium source, and approx. how many mg per day?

>'Cause, like, the FDA limits the pills to 99 mg a day, and darned if I don't

>wanna take 35 pills a day, know what I mean?

Why not? That is what the FDA wants you to do. Or...... remain

potassium deficient, or.... get a prescription from the sawbones. You

have a number of choices, and they are all poor ones.

 

Last spring during my harvest season I became very interested in all the

potassium sources. I had a number of them at my fingertips.

 

These included blueberries, tomatoes, squash, onions, okra, bell

peppers, cantaloupes and watermelons ....

to name a few. I was eating all these like they were going out of

style. All were high quality and had few to zero chemicals applied. I

make all the beds by hand, add organic nutrients, and then feed carefully

formulated liquid nutrients from a 500 gallon tank with an Intelligent

Growing System I have worked on for 7 years. A system like I use cost

about $ 30,000, if you can find one. ( log files and pictures are on my

website )

 

By my best calculations, I may have been getting 3000 to 5000 mg potassium

on some days. Most days I was closer to 2500 or 3000. When eating the

watermelons and cantaloupes, the total was the highest.

 

I ate tomatoes several times per day with cottage cheese and flax oil. It

is really very good with a large super good, super fresh tomato chopped up

with the cottage cheese. I grow cherry tomatoes to munch on when working

in the garden. On my website, I have one photo that shows cherry tomatoes

with 5 forks. Each fork is a full sized cluster. Awesome to say the least.

 

Another incident caused me to do some serious thinking about

potassium. When I got my March 2001 blood analysis, I decided to go to see

a doctor for a physical. Nothing was ailing me, but this doctor has

allowed his nurse to give me curb service for blood work. So.... I felt I

would let him make a few dollars.

 

At the final checkout he mentioned that my potassium was " a little low " . I

commented that I get a decent amount of potassium from the trailmix. He

replied, " not much, unless there is a lot or raisins in it " . I made no

comment at all. Virtually all of the ingredients have some potassium.

 

In September, 2000 my potassium was 4.0 but in March when I was in this

doctors office, the potassium was

3.8 which is indeed low. This was what caused me to do more research.

 

Few people, unless they are a student of health and nutrition, have a clue

as to how much potassium they need or how much they get per day. Even the

ones of us that try hard, barely get enough.

 

Plus... in one of the alternative medicine newsletters I get, it was stated

that many would benefit from an additional 2 to 3000 mg over the 2700 mg.

 

Due to the fact that the masses know so little, and the doctors do not

realize or stress the importance of potassium, I feel sure that this is no

accident.

 

The powers that want to control our health ( and our wallets ) have

intentionally limited the information available to the masses and

controlled the information available in medical school. Virtually no

information has been available to the population at large about

potassium. Most do not have a clue as to its value or how much they get in

a day.

 

And of course they do not know the damage that is done to ones health when

a major potassium deficiency is allowed to continue over a number of years.

 

Most of us here are searching for truth. With people like Charles Weber to

help us, we may find it one day.

 

I do have a link to the Charles Weber site on my trailmix

page. www.fugitt.com/trailmix.htm
