Pansalt Lowers High Blood Pressure & Improves the Theraupetic Effects of Antihyp

[Guest guest]

Shan' Note: At the bottom of this, I have put a 'recipe' that you use to

make this at home. It does not have any anticaking agents in it, but you

can ask for that at a health food store or unless you have a very high

humidity where you live, leave it out altogether. You can also ask your local

compounding pharmacy if they will mix this together. This is a tasty &

effective alternative to plain seasalt, as well as a healthy alternative.

 

Pansalt Lowers High Blood Pressure and Improves the Theraupetic Effects of

Antihypertensive Drugs

Common salt (NaCl 98 - 100%) is a major cause of high blood pressure

(arterial hypertension) and its complications, such as strokes, heart attacks

and kidney damages.

Pansalt (NaCl 56%, KCI 28%, MgSO4.7H2O 12%, I-lysine-HCI 2%, anticaking

agents 2%) is a recent innovation which is believed to produce a number of

beneficial health effects when used instead of common salt.

In recent studies, the effects of Pansalt have been extensively compared

with those of common salt.

Results:

Effects on Taste

Pansalt produces the same savoury taste as common salt in various food

items.

Effects on Blood Pressure

Pansalt, instead of common salt in the diet, effectively lowers both in

spontaneously hypertensive rats and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive

rats, two widely used models of human hypertension. A good antihypertensive

effect of Family Choice Pansalt in man has also been reported. Pansalt also

produced a pronounced improvement of the blood pressure lowering effect of

enalapril (Renitec/Vasotec) and other widely used antihypertensive drugs.

(Figure 1).

Effects on Life Span

Pansalt prolonged the lifespan of spontaneously hypertensive rats more

than three-fold and almost to the same extent as withdrawal from all salt from

the diet. (Figure 2).

Importance of Potassium, Magnesium, and I-Lysine in Family Choice Pansalt

A number of studies show conclusively that the increased intakes of

potassium, magnesium and I-lysine from Pansalt have a very important role in

all

the beneficial effects.

Absence of Adverse Effects

No signs of hyperkalaemia, hypermagnesaemia, or any other harmful effects

have been observed during the use of Pansalt.

Conclusions

The use of Pansalt instead of common salt produces remarkable anti

hypertensive effects, prolongs the life span and markedly improves the effects

of

commonly used antihypertensive drugs without and signs of adverse effects.

HOMEMADE RECIPE

14 tbls. sea salt

7 tbls. potassium chloride (Now brand)

3 tbls. magnesium sulfate (fine grind Epsom salt)

1 tbls. l-lysine

 

You can also take some sea salt and add Lugols iodine (50 drops?) in a

small bowl and let dry and add to the mix. You can add an anticaking agent if

you feel that you really need it. I don't add it.

 

The body needs sodium and potassium in their correct forms and ratios. A

high sodium intake is not as detrimental if it is balanced w/potassium. The

research is done.

How healthy is this? I thought Epsom salts were more of a laxative and used in

baths except for things like gall bladder cleanse. Maybe I am wrong. Please

elaborate.

 

Thanks

Those with hypertension who take potassium pills better ask their doctors if

they can use this therapy. Too much potassium is dangerous too.

Why not just eat more veg (esp. green veg) - easy sources of magnesium and

potassium and low in sodium - which is the main objective.

 

Personally I have a hard time choking down Epsom salts.
