Potassium and Sodium
Kidney and Blood pressure treatments often involve a false logic of avoidance of sodium and potassium.
When a problem is observed with one it is assumed that the problem is from the thing itself, rather than a missing relationship to its opposite complement: sodium and potassium working together.
If the problem is lack of balance then reducing sodium can reduce the ability to utilize potassium, which leads to symptoms and trying to reduce symptoms by reducing potassium. That leads to a downward ratcheting spiral where you have to reduce both to avoid immediate symptoms, while the real solution could be to increase both together in the right proportions.
Kidney patients are told to avoid oranges because of high potassium, in a backhanded compliment to the best source of potassium, in my experience.
If you have ever had super painful cramps from potassium deficiency you will not stop eating oranges. Oranges also have C with bioflavonoids for utilization, and B1, a common deficiency in chronic illnesses. One a day does not cut it: you have to quantify.
It's funny that blood labs will often show potassium deficiency but they still generalized this nutritional misinformation.
I have only experienced benefits from increases in salt and potassium.
Nuances are important.
Pure white refined salt is not going to work the same way without traces of other minerals to make the sodium utilized. This could be your problem with "salt."
I made ankle edema go away by increasing salt. Sodium is necessary to hydrate cells. Some edema is water that cannot get into cells.
Water with minerals carry electrons for energy to the mitochondria and blood circulation through the capillaries.
This seems counter intuitive when everyone knows diuretics like lasix work by removing sodium to lower edema and in attempts to lower blood pressure.
Yes, you can lower edema of ankles and lungs through diuretics by removing salt. But that does not distribute water better into cells for healthy energy, it just drains the body further while controlling the symptoms.
Not all cases of kidney disease involve edema, all involve cellular hydration.
Hydration depends on liquid with minerals.
Sometimes people don't tolerate water because it does not have enough minerals in it but they need juice. Then we have to deal with the fear of fructose, which is not "sugar" , the evil in baby logic. Look it up my writing on that and the Handle effect. There are too many layers of misinformation to address at once.
Blood pressure and kidney disease treatments are limited by the paradigm problem that is a simplistic hydraulic model: the kidney fails to excrete liquid and that raises blood volume and pressure.
But they also try to explain it the other way that high blood pressure creates the kidney problem by pounding away on the kidneys too hard. That does not actually make sense to me. Doctors have also admitted to me that they don't know where there is high BP in the first place. They just jump to "take you BP meds so you don't have a stroke."
Strokes are a very real problem but there I ways to prevent against those I can't elaborate here.
Higher blood pressure is the body's way of reaching an optimal equilibrium under non optimal conditions to get blood to your brain.
Patients have complained that forcing BP downward makes them feel worse.
I have seen articles published in the New England Journal of Medicine criticizing the effectiveness of BP meds. There is even a book called "The Blood Pressure Hoax."
The kidney treatment of dialysis relies on the hydraulics theory by removing liquid and with it the acids of urea nitrogen, uric acid, chlorine, etc. The machine can be set to remove or reintroduce liquid. If frequently happens that when the machine is not set right blood pressure will drop suddenly and the patient will "code,' which means they pass out and it's an emergency. This can be quickly corrected.
I have heard a dialysis tech explain that sometimes the doctor operating remotely looks at a high BP and infer that my liquid needs to be removed from the patient, but the technician counteracts that by observing the patient has no edema and should not be dehydrated so much. Again, because the doctor had a simplistic hydraulics paradigm
The problem is actually low electron levels that depend on hydration with structured water and minerals.
Dialysis works by removing the toxins, the acids that lower electrical charge. Alkalines like sodium and potassium raise electron levels.
Removing liquid applies to cases with edema.
The area of blood pressure is fascinating to me as the best way to measure total body energy in electrons that joins physics and chemistry into a complete picture of nutrition.
