In this podcast, Dr. Berg discussed about potassium and its benefits. Potassium has the ability to protect your kidneys, heart and arteries. We’re told that potassium might cause kidney damage, BUT that would only occur if you have chronic end-stage kidney failure which is very rare.  There is a study about potassium protects against stroke where it allows cerebral arteries (arteries of the brain) to carry blood at high pressure without damage. Potassium has the ability to lower blood pressure and decrease the kidney risk of stones.
Cause of Potassium Deficiencies  1. Low Potassium Diet  2. Laxatives  3. Diuretics – people take to lower blood pressure where in fact it depletes the potassium.  4. Cortisol – in the form of prednisone or high levels of cortisol from the adrenals or stress hormones. 5. Diabetes (IR) – with insulin resistance, you can’t absorb potassium that well.
