After major abdominal surgery for endometriosis I started having mental health issues. The nurse in the hospital had accused me of not drinking the nasty tasting potassium solution they had found a reason to give me. She even looked under the bed to see if I had been hiding it. I knew my mother had a potassium absorbtion problem, but it was never this bad. I was jumpy, paranoid, wouldn't trust anyone or thing. A friend who knew me and saw the difference, and had had a hysterectomy told me to get potassium supplements. It has to be chelated potassium. Problem went away in a week. I was on them for a year, until the situation resolved itself with my diet. Wouldn't it be nice if doctors actually tested for multiple deficiencies and allergies rather than just doping people up with Schedual 1 drugs?

As I have had my potassium almost completely depleted of my potassium at least 3x due to blood pressure medicines my doctor did nothing until I pressed the issue. I had them do the intercellular potassium test which is the best way to check your levels. Also the best way to build mine up is with an electrolyte powder I buy with 1000mg of potassium per scoop. I wish you had mentioned the intercellular test and that some of those foods youd have to eat mega amounts...like 10 bananas a day for example and that most of those foods arent low carb. Also wish you had mentioned the symptoms of low potassium such as heart racing, no energy( I couldnt walk a flight of stairs without being out of breath, insomnia, constipation,weight loss and nightmares, leg and feet cramps, to name a few...I had like 10 out of about 12...it was bad! I now drink 3000mg a day in my electrolyte drink

After doing some extensive research on Potassium it seems we can tolerate upwards of 10g per day as would have happened in our ancient diet with mostly vegetables and very low sodium intake.

The idea of getting "what you need" from fruit, veggies, etc. is no longer true, if it ever was. No plant can make a mineral. They must absorb them from the soil. With heavy farming methods today, much of the soil is depleted. The plant will only contain what the soil has. Unless you can grow your own and re-mineralize the soil every so often, supplementing is the only way to ensure you are getting what you need.

Three months later I had to stop the bp meds because my bp was around 100/60.
