Potassium and SALT - Chicken or the Egg?

This post addresses the problem of getting the ‘science’ down for The Wilking Protocol essentials to human life.  Which essential should we use first?  How much?  In answer to these questions, there is NO silver bullet,  one size fits all solution.  There is NO set answer for everyone.  This is how so many people have come to be poisoned today in our super modern, super Sci-Fi Western Healthcare ruled world.  "When we say, "Hurry up, give me the answer, just give me the solution, I want to get on with my life," we are in effect turning over our power to the healthcare system, or to any system or individual, to act upon us as they please.  #ChickenOrTheEgg

In the Wilking Protocol, we do intestinal Flushes and Cleanses, and they involve going over Bowel Tolerance (BT) to get diarrhea.  In the Wilking Protocol Facebook group, when I have brought up the concept of a Niacin Flush, people have asked, “How much does it take you to go over BT?  How often should a Niacin Flush be done?”  https://www.facebook.com/groups/wilking/

My main concern is I want the people feeling better, getting things right; I don’t want them hurting themselves.  A Niacin Flush has nothing to do with BT; it is about Flushing the skin.  However, people joining our group are sick, and many of them want to feel better fast.  It's easy to make mistakes when we are in a rush, especially if we don't feel well, and if this wasn't complicated enough.

Taking Niacin without the accompanying B vitamins will throw the body out of whack.  We want to find general guidelines, rather than hard fast rules.  Nowhere in this Mercola article does it discuss getting a balanced amount of B vitamins when doing a Niacin Flush.  Let caution be our guide.

It can be very difficult with reactions and counter reactions to supplements.  How can a person determine whether the reaction to an essential, is a good reaction, a bad reaction, or is it too much of a good reaction?

What about Potassium in relation to SALT, and vitamin C?  Forget Vitamin C for the moment; let’s even forget it's relationship with SALT.  Let's just address the relationship of Potassium and our own bodies.
http://www.mercuryfreekids.org/mercury101/2017/5/17/potassium

The FDA does not allow more than 99mg of Potassium to be sold in a supplement.  They tell us that we get the amount we need from food, and that we can die if we get too much.  I believed this.  However, when we are doing intestinal cleanses, we are flushing out toxins, and essentials, and this drives down our Potassium levels.  Perque, a quality name brand of L-Ascorbate recommended by The Wilking Protocol, follows the FDA guidelines of 99mg of Potassium per serving, which comes to 198mg per teaspoon.  We’ve had people swelling up on Perque.  Is it possible this is coming from a loss of Potassium?  C-Salts, another of our recommended brand of L-Ascorbates, has 365mg of K per teaspoon.  Are people swelling up more on the Perque, because it has half the Potassium of C-Salts, and thus there is a greater loss of Potassium?

It’s clear that we need to add Potassium to the Wilking Protocol.  How to do it?  If someone was to confuse the Buffered L-Ascorbate cleanse, http://www.mercuryfreekids.org/mercury101/2016/3/19/mercury-dump,
and substitute Potassium Citrate, they could have a problem.  In our Facebook group, sometimes we have had people confuse the Salt and the Buffered L-Ascorbate protocols.

Potassium Citrate in powder form has 448 mg per ¼ teaspoon, that’s just under 1800 mg per teaspoon.  If a person mistakenly attempts to cleanse with Potassium Citrate, following the Buffered L-Ascorbate guidelines, within 2 hours they could potentially consume more than 21,600 mg of Potassium.  That’s a very dangerous level.  In comparison, Cream of Tartar only has 495 mg of Potassium per teaspoon, another example of how someone could potentially make a mistake, with it being only one quarter of the dose of Potassium.

We don’t know very well how people react to Cream of Tartar as a supplement.  There is some concern as to whether tartaric acid might cause a candida flare.  Some autistic kids show a very high amount of tartaric acid in their urine.  Tartaric acid is the leftovers of a fermentation process, one that may be taking place in their gut.  By our adding in Cream of Tartar as a Potassium source, which has tartaric acid, could that cause a flare as well? 
https://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/articles-1/2015/11/13/candida-and-overgrowth-the-problem-bacteria-by-products

This article states that a magnesium deficiency should be resolved before attempting to rectify a Potassium deficiency.
When concomitant hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia exist, the magnesium deficiency should be corrected first; other wise, full repletion of the potassium deficit is difficult to achieve.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4357351/

The Wilking Protocol does need a general list, a family tree of what supplements to use, and when to use them.  But we also don’t want to lose the intuitive element when we come up with general guidelines.  Perhaps, like the Perque L-Ascorbate cleanse ,1/2 tsp for a healthy person, 1 tsp for a person in medium health, and 2 tsp for a sick person, we will have a similar protocol, maybe something like this:

Healthiest person - Salt flush first – This person can handle a maximum toxin release
Medium health -  A vitamin C flush, then followed by the Salt Flush
Sick person -  A Potassium cleanse?  Which form of Potassium?  What is the dosing?
Very sick person - Mag citrate, Milk of Magnesia, or maybe even an Epsom salt flush, where very little of the element is absorbed. 

Why are there ZERO FB groups extolling the virtues of Potassium?  Is it truly dangerous, and that’s why there are no more than 99mg doses, or is it just another misinformation campaign?  Does the health care industry throw down on people that use or recommend Potassium?

With The Wilking Protocol, we are finding our way, our gut intuitions on how to add essential nutrients to our lives, we experiment, we ask tough questions of ourselves, and we learn, but most of all we take our time.

If you are using The Wilking Protocol, you need to supplement with Potassium.  Almost everyone using the protocol has some neurotoxic accumulation, like mercury, so trying to get enough Potassium from the diet alone will not be enough for a sustained therapeutic detox.  With the protocol's consistent cleanses and flushes, we need therapeutic doses of Potassium.

HOLISTIC AND NATURAL
I recommend products that are natural to our well-being, and only ones that can be found in the grocery or health food store.  Everything I recommend I do myself.  Everything I do is on my website, and everyone can use my site to get back to feeling great, naturally.  However, some people can be very deep in the woods, allergic to just about everything, while suffering from chronic pain and inflammation.  Helping people naturally, takes time, patience, attention to detail, and experience.

Going Loopy With Toxins?

#LoopyWithToxins

For mercury, the best detox system we have is to detox through the skin, and/or the intestines, depending upon where the mercury has been stored.  However, most mercury toxic people will have some kind of intestinal problem, or skin problem, which means they are not able to detox mercury.  The problem compounds itself as the body requires more and more sulfur to control mercury redistribution,  which means the body has less and less sulfur available to keep those organs in good condition.  Mercury is the root problem of almost all disease we have today. 

Acupuncture, change in diets, chiropractic, essential elements, essential oils, massage, and vitamins can ALL move toxins, and this is a GOOD thing, as long as our major detox pathways are in good working order.

The problem is for most mercury toxic people, their detox pathways are not in good working order, and in many cases are shut down, or almost non-existent.  The more mercury toxic a person, the worse it is, and the more likely they will have a severe reaction to redistributing mercury, and since that mercury is moving without a place for it to go, that GOOD thing turns into a BAD thing.

Mercury may accumulate from any number of sources.  Sources of mercury are mercury dental fillings, vaccines, broken light bulbs, corn syrup, tuna and more.  If you have not made a list of possible exposures, and symptoms, you need to get them here:
TICKETS FOR THE CARNIVAL RIDE - GOING LOOPY WITH TOXINS

If you have your list ready, you may now enter the CARNIVAL RIDE called GOING LOOPY WITH TOXINS
On this ride, every time your read GOING LOOPY WITH TOXINS, and you encounter the words MERCURY 911, if you or a loved one have been performing one of these actions, go back to the beginning of GOING LOOPY WITH TOXINS, where it first says MERCURY 911, and start reading all over again from that point.  Show the usher your ticket, YOUR TICKET IS YOUR LIST, and remember you can not get off the ride until the ride is over, and the ride is not over until you HAVE stopped looping back to the starting point - Mercury 911..  There is no exiting until you have finished riding GOING LOOPY WITH TOXINS,

STARTING POINT - MERCURY 911
The body does everything it can to prevent an acute case of mercury poisoning, one where a whole bunch of mercury moves freely through the body, because that action can ruin an organ, and the person will die relatively quickly.  The body takes emergency actions to store free-floating mercury. It may store it in existing fats, like the brain or central nervous system.  Some bodies are smart enough to make fat cells to store it.  The obesity epidemic is not a sugar or fatty diet epidemic,  it’s a mercury epidemic.  The body also has stored mercury inside pathogens that methylate mercury.  Whether the body allows this to happen, or the pathogens are allowed to live is unclear, however, what is clear is that their is a symbiosis between mercury methylating pathogens and our bodies and microbiome.  These pathogens can be archaea, bacteria, fungus, or worms.  Bacteria include H Pylori, and Lyme.  Fungus like candida also methylate mercury.  Although these infections are not the best solution for the body, it’s a better solution than free-floating mercury.  If the mercury toxicity is severe, the body will make tumors to store the mercury.  By killing off bacteria and fungus, going on a crash diet, or cutting out cancer, the body can quickly grow acutely toxic with mercury, especially if there is a constant source of mercury, like leaking mercury dental fillings.  All mercury dental fillings leak.

If you have had mercury dental fillings removed, it's very important you address the mercury toxicity in your body. Mercury is dangerous in your fillings, it's dangerous taking it out, and it's dangerous once they are gone. The 3 month mark after removal is a biggie, because the cells and organs in the body can 'wake up' and say, hey what am I doing with this stuff, and dump it's mercury all at once.  If it does this, you will move into a case of acute mercury poisoning.  The body will go into 911 mode and will start storing the mercury anywhere it can, and that means fat cells.  Your brain is comprised mostly of fat cells.  You guessed it, the body sends the mercury to the brain.  Go back to MERCURY 911.

Candida, Pylori, and Lyme are anaerobic, facultative pathogesn that methylate mercury. They take mercury into their cells.   Mercury is 500 times more dangerous than lead. The body doesn't want the mercury coming in contact with it's own cells, mercury destroys nerve and brain synapses on contact.  Get rid of the mercury, and the bacteria and fungus go away,  However, if you kill the pathogens, you get poisoned by mercury.  The key is to get rid of the mercury, then the body can safely discharge the pathogens of their duty.  The body is using these pathogens to protect you from mercury poisoning.  Kill the pathogens and go back to MERCURY 911.

The body sends mercury to the liver, and the liver sends mercury and other toxins into the intestines for evacuation.  The liver also sends bile into the intestines to digest food.  Mercury has an affinity for sulfur, and is bound to sulfur in a natural state.  Bile has a lot of sulfur in it, and because the bile has a 95% uptake, when mercury attaches to the sulfur in the bile, it begins looping through the body in a toxic loop.  The mercury enters the blood stream and puts holes in the veins.  The body starts making cholesterol to plug up the holes.  The mercury can drop off in any number of places.  It can go to the eyes (cataracts), nervous system (fibromyalgia), pancreas (diabetes), and the list goes on and on and on.  The more the systems of excretion are backed up, the deeper into the body the mercury will go. For example, if the kidneys are backed up, the mercury will be set down in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys.  Redistribute more mercury than the body can safely send out of it's detox pathways and go back to MERCURY 911.

Many vegetarians can grow very sick from mercury poisoning because their bodies run very efficiently, too efficiently to dump the mercury.  Their bile uptake may be as high as 99%, so the mercury just keeps circulating through their system.  Think about getting the runs from a greasy slice of pizza, or a piece of fatty meat.  Not very efficient in uptake, is it?  That bile is leaving the body.  Did you change your diet, have you cut out meat and fats? Go back to MERCURY 911

Most sick people have a problem with their intestines.  They are constipated, they have IBS, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, and the list goes on and on.  Intestinal problems, including diarrhea, are a sign that the intestines have a toxic mercury problem.  The strength of the intestines and the surrounding connective tissues comes from sulfur, and the disulfide bond.  Mercury has an affinity for sulfur, and will deplete the bodies stores of sulfur.  Are you reactive to sulfur foods?  Are you reactive to Epsom salts?  Go back to MERCURY 911

In constipation, the intestines, inflamed from mercury, cannot evacuate.  With diarrhea, and other discharge problems, the body is literally leaking out toxins, trying to get rid of them.  However, most drugs, and OTC medicines, stop the body from detoxifying.  Tylenol is a reductase inhibitor; it stops the liver from detoxifying.  It destroys the sulfur stores of the body.  Go back to MERCURY 911

Not feeling well, many people decide to boost their immune system by eating a bunch of immune stimulating foods like garlic, or onions.  These foods are loaded with sulfur, and mercury has an affinity for sulfur.  From it’s ‘safely stored’ place, after these foods are ingested, the mercury may loosely bind to the free floating sulfur, and end up back in the liver, and start the toxic loop all over again.  Go back to MERCURY 911

An immediate solution, but not a permanent solution, is to flush the intestines, not with an invasive enema, or a liver flush, but to do an Epsom salt flush.  Cleansing the intestines creates a safe place for the body to send toxins, allowing the rest of the body, cells and organs, to release their stored toxins, and they can start doing their jobs.  Clearing the intestines of its current toxic load will begin the process of breaking the toxic loop.
