Sally K Norton: Oxalate and Mitigation Techniques With Potassium Citrate or Calcium

Richard Smith believes that potassium citrate supplementation can help manage oxalate dumping and fight calcium oxalate stone formation. Sally K Norton is on the show to talk about oxalates and how they can wreak havoc on our bodies. She recommends caution when it comes to tinkering with our calcium intake and recommends a book as a great resource for further learning.
High oxalate intake causes the kidneys to waste sodium which contributes to keto flu and kidney stones, and clearing oxalates is important to maintain good health long-term. Sally and both the hosts believe that people are finally realizing that meat isn't what's causing their health problems and they're also beginning to supplement with electrolytes, magnesium, and calcium. Excess sodium depletes potassium, which can lead to all of these other issues. When eating a low carb ketogenic diet, it's important to keep an eye on electrolytes to make sure that we're not losing any essential minerals.
Sally's book Toxic Superfoods is now available.

When I began keto 6yrs ago with Dr. Berg I immediately drank the daily recommended combination of apple cider vinegar(2tblsp),lemon juice(2tblsp) and unsweetened cranberry(2 oz for flavor) juice diluted with 6 oz water. I had none of the keto side effects other than losing 50lbs,gout,and diabetes. No oxalate issues.

Gout can also be oxalates in the joint, not just uric acid. I started talking calcium citrate and it seems to clear the inflammation that I get when I start to get a flare. If it clears again, for sure cal citrate can help with gout

[@audreygregis8721]

I'm playing around with mag, potassium, and calcium citrates. How much potassium citrate do you do per day, and do you take it once or twice a day? I was taking 1/4tsp of potassium citrate, at least once a day. I wasn't sure whether to believe the warnings about taking too much potassium, because so much has been proven wrong. Like, can I overdose with potassium citrate?

[@johanne526]

@@audreygregis8721 I heard a video by Dr. Ken Berry where he explains that your body will urinate excess potassium. Personally, I have been using 2x¼ tsps. potassium citrate in my drinking water once or twice a day (so I take up 1800mg supplemental potassium per day). However, potassium is known as being lethal, but I don't know at what dose. The label on the bottle says ¼ tsp. once or twice a day. Hope this helps.

Thank you coach for this section. I wish many people can see this and understand that drinking caffeine and eating dairy, especially heavy creams, which contain significant amount of calcium, these two effects have such high effect on magnesium depletion, electrolyte imbalance and hence the leg cramps that so many people complain about. Very informative

[@mrazik131]

I do all what you mention and have no leg cramps....i take extra calcium pyruvate and calcium carbonate . as Sally said at the begging calcium caused oxalate dumping, it went away after a year.

[@CoachStephen]

Thank you Mike

[@olilumgbalu5653]

I take a lot of magnesium supplements so I feel like it balances out any dairy I eat (cheese, yogurt, high-fat milk). However, as Richard Smith points out, potassium is likely the most important nutrient that most of us are deficient in.

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Muscle cramps can also be due to not getting enough blood to the muscles, ligament and tendons. If everything has been checked on nutrition, the activity of the blood has to be looked at next. Especially if it happens while a person is walking. I'm waiting for a review of the situation with a consultant.

[@chrislastnam6822]

Sally Norton says people don't get much improvement even after years of eating a low oxalate diet and following other recommendations like getting citrate from lemon and lime juice.

[@AngelicHarmony444]

Sally’s book is absolutely excellent!

[@CoachStephen]

Thanks for the comment

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Nausea on the Dr Atkins high protein and low carb diet was proven to be a candida issue. I thought previously Sally said that oxalates bind to calcium and iron. Calcium can certainly be a calcification issue. Calcium and oxalates together = calcification.

[@musiclover60302]

You should have let Sally talk more. She was your guest.

[@CoachStephen]

Hi, thanks for the comment. This is an edited version of the full hour Sally did with us. We were asked by viewers to put forward some theories so this video reflects that. Sally was great and I hope you get to see the full version.

[@ResearchReviewer]

I disagree. If you want to hear her talk then do a Google search and watch other interviews, or simply read her brilliant book, ‘Toxic Superfoods’. I want to hear her challenged in the polite and courteous manner than Rich did here. I have tried some of her methods and found that calcium citrate made me feel absolutely awful. I would even contend that people with high oxalate in their blood should AVOID calcium. Don’t be a mindless consumer. Think critically and challenge everything

[@ArmadilloGodzilla]

Agree. That powerpoint hysteria could have been summarised with the bar chart slide. The rest came off as "look at me, look at me".

[@tallcedars2310]

Good to know that magnesium is good to take with calcium. I've started drinking raw milk to help clear oxalates due to ALS, but have experienced some cramping lately. Will add K & Mg supplement to see how it goes. Great discussion, thank you. Toxic Superfoods by Sally - This is the book if you want to learn about oxalates. Sally explains what toxic foods are, why we get sick from oxalate consumption & how we can heal ourselves.

There are very good reasons for eating good clean (non g.m.o.-non b.e. glyphosate free vegetables and good clean organic/grassfed beef/free range fowl. That being said I believe we also need to suppliment too. If they are clean, the right type, the right amount (yes its like a maze) you can move more quickly forward with your health provided your body burden isnt excessive. These burdens could be illness, injury, parasites, heavy metals, mold-biotoxins-biofilms, stress, other chemicals like bpa's etc.(from plastics), formaldahyde-voc's (from cheap furniture, osb, carpets etc. ) and goitrogens=flouride,(treated water- tooth paste- mouthwash) chlorine (treated water swimming pools), bromine ( fire retardents sprayed on mattresses, couches, drapes, carpets, and also bromated flour)///plus a lack of iodine. Then there is the effect of genitic snips and methylation. (I threw out my - folic acid)Then there is lifestyle and epigenetics (chemical exposure, LPS-dental infections exercise- sleep-stress-sunlight-grounding etc. I take zero medications but I do use herbs. When you get stuck find Jesus, the holy spirit can guide you!

Been a year on carnivore and meat based diet. Recently my liver swelled and I started dumping kidney stones. I drank lots of lemon water and added herbs for liver and the stone breaker. Was this oxolate dumping?

[@CoachStephen]

@Hannahkeir Hi, thanks for the question. I think you need to get this looked at with a local health care provider asap. I can not diagnose via youtube. Sorry for the non answer. It does sound like oxalate dumping, especially the kidney stones but I can't say

[@deborahpharaoh4505]

12 weeks carnavore. Feel weak and fatigued. Muscle issues. Electrolytes, salt, magnesium, calcium citrate makes no difference. Very low oxalates. Dumping issues i guess.

@deborahpharaoh4505 Hard to help you as I don't know enough about you. Protein requires 5 X energy to digest compared to carbs and fat so maybe you're eating too much protein in each sitting? The fruits and veg won't help at all, as you discovered. Can you get to our Sunday Live Q&A?

Optimal ratio of sodium to potassium is 1:2. How on earth could you take in 10g of sodium to then get 20g of potassium.

[@Jill-the-Meatlover]

Can a person have oxilate dumping 6 months into the carnivore diet? Like severe diarrhea? I thought I had food poisoning, but I didn’t throw up or become sweaty or feel like I was going to pass out. I have has food poisoning before. I took 4 Imodium and that did not help. So I decided to drink some tea and eat some pecans and the diarrhea stopped. Is this something that can happen off and on over years. I know you cannot diagnose me, just want to know if this is something that happens to other people.

Can you take potassium bicarbonate instead of potassium citrate?

[@vickyverma6852]

Potassium is immaterial with reference to oxalates. It's the other part of the molecule, citrate, that does the work. So you need anything that adds citrate to your system - potassium citrate, or magnesium citrate, or calcium citrate, etc.

@@Now6674 Then go for natural sources of citrate - lime, lemon, oranges, grapes, berries, etc. You don't need a ton of citrates. 1 lemon a day will give you way more than the amount of citrates you need. Best if you consume it spread throughout the day or a couple of hours after your high oxalate meals.

If I eat at least a large salad every night my ankles , legs, and feet do not swell and any swelling goes away as it does if I swim that day. I have been just stuffing myself with high oxalate foods unknowingly. Do you think the high potassium content of salad is why this wanted effect occurs? The more salad I eat the better I feel.
