Potassium Deficiency and MS

MS is an infectious disease. Certain parasites linked to MS can cause a potassium deficiency, which in turn can lead to muscle weakness, cramping, tremors, abnormal heartbeat rhythms and many other symptoms. Correcting potassium and other mineral and electrolyte deficiencies caused by parasite infections can improve symptoms and support recovery from multiple sclerosis.

 

MS linked with low potassium[i] [ii]

Potassium deficiency does not cause MS, but people diagnosed with MS may have a potassium deficiency which could make their symptoms worse.

Potassium regulates the heartbeat and is important for the proper function of muscles and nerves. It is also vital for making protein and in the digestion of carbohydrates. Many symptoms of potassium deficiency are similar to MS symptoms.

 

MS is an infectious disease

There is a large and ever-growing body of research confirming that multiple sclerosis is an infectious disease.[iii] Parasitic worms, protozoa, bacteria and fungi are linked to MS.

Parasites produce organic acids which can lead to lactic acidosis. The body will use minerals and electrolytes to neutralize the acids in order to maintain an optimal pH. This together with the decline of minerals in our produce can cause mineral and electrolyte deficiencies in the body. Medications can also disrupt electrolytes and minerals.

Malaria / Babesia type protozoa are linked to MS and are known to cause acidosis, hypokalemia (low blood potassium) and other electrolyte disturbances.

 

Hypokalemia

Hypokalemia is a condition where the potassium blood level is lower than normal. It is one of the most common electrolyte disturbances. Most cases are mild.

Symptoms of hypokalemia include:

• Muscle twitches
• Muscles weakness and cramping
• Tremors
• Paralysis of muscles
• Abnormal heartbeat rhythms
• Constipation
• Fatigue
• Tingling and numbness
• Rhabdomyolysis – a rapid breaking down of muscle tissue
• Kidney failure

Hypokalemia is common in malaria.[iv] [v]

 

Other mineral and electrolyte disturbances caused by parasites

Electrolytes and minerals play important roles in the normal functioning of the human body.

Electrolyte imbalance and mineral disturbances are common in several infectious diseases, including malaria.

Concentrations of sodium (Na), potassium (K,) and calcium (Ca) are typically lower in the blood of people with malaria vs healthy individuals. Magnesium can also be impacted depending on the type of malaria parasite.

Various parasites cause seizures. Acute and severe electrolyte imbalances can occur in people suffering from seizures which may be the only symptom.[vi]

Dogs suffering from Babesia can also have strong electrolyte imbalances in the blood.[vii]

 

Solutions

1. Diet

The Live Disease Free low carbohydrate diet provides vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to nourish the body, yet greatly reduces food to the parasites. As the parasites are less active, they produce less acids. It is important to salt your food with Himalayan or Celtic sea salt.

2. Bloodwork

Ask your doctor to do a comprehensive blood test which also measures sodium and potassium.

3. Supplement

Take nutritional supplements that include vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. This can help manage symptoms as you prepare to treat parasites and recover from MS or other disease. Creams containing minerals and electrolytes can be rubbed into muscles and provide temporary relief from muscle spasms.

4. Treat the parasites

Because parasites directly and indirectly cause deficiencies and imbalances in minerals and electrolytes, it is very important to treat them effectively so we can recover and enjoy the highest level of health. Currently, it is difficult to find practitioners who are skilled at recognizing, identifying and treating parasites effectively. The Live Disease Free plan offers a proven system that helps people recover from parasites and the diseases they cause in the most cost-effective and efficient way.

There are real solutions to recover from parasites today!

To restore health, we must focus on treating the cause of inflammation, which are parasites. First, identify the enemy (parasites), then support the body and treat the parasites while following a holistic approach. When parasitic infections are treated effectively, we can overcome inflammation or disease.
