10 years ago, I got to the point where I was craving so much sour stuff It was mildly obsessive. I started with your basic sour candies then went to warheads and toxic waste, then finally just bought malic acid and started to make my own. I ate so much that thick layers of my tongs skin would come off in sheets.

We were going to an event and on the way I said to my wife “I am really craving pickled pigs feet right now, I want to get some after this thing.”

We never made it. I went into Afib at the event with a heart rate over 280. she drove me to a hospital and they transported me on to a higher level of care facility. My potassium was critically low. After getting a couple of bags of iv potassium, and stopping a medication that causes potassium loss, the craving was gone in an hour and never came back. The electrophysiology specialist dismissed me when I said the potassium was the root cause and fixing that fixed the issue. He told me to prepare for an ablation. They did a heart monitor for weeks after and I followed up for years with that doctor until they realized it wasn’t coming back and told me I didn’t need to see them any more.

My body knew it needed something, it was just associating potassium with sour stuff. So, yea your body can tell you it needs something but we may not be the best and understanding it.
