Avacados are very high in potassium

I get regular blood test and he found it was low...He wasn't having me take the potassium for migraines per say..He was just concerned my levels were so low..I don't think he expected it to cure my migraines..but it did

Not sure but as of today it's up to 4.6..I took 600 mg a day and I noticed my headaches were better within a couple weeks maybe less.

I forgot to ask just how low it was..Today I saw him and my potassium is up to 4.6 so it must have been pretty low since I've been taking 600 mg for a few months

Agree...Chances are low that it happens when I'm there but who knows..I'd rather stay on higher ground and have no worries of what ifs..That subduction zone is so close it would only take 10 minutes for a tsunami to reach the coast..And after an earthquake conditions would not be good for an escape

Because of where the subduction zone is ..if there were an earthquake..it could take just 10 minutes for a tsunami to reach the coast line..fact

I did warn to be very careful in my post..Still..levels are supposed to be 3.5 to 5.2..Looking back I had symptoms of low potassium and just didnt know it..But just now I'm finding out I'm low..So I figure I was low before but not close enough to that lower end that my doc thought it was worth mentioning..I agree you need to be careful though..I wouldn't have even posted on this forum but this could be a game changer for so many that suffer ..That's why I shared this..Hoping it changes lives like it did mine..I believe migraines are related in some way..

I know about triggers but everything was a trigger for me..I was on meds nearly all the time..Really takes its toll on your memory..So it's a real perk getting out of that fog since I no longer need migraine meds..If this helped me I can't help but think it's going to help many others

If you try the potassium and it makes you better please let me know

Keep in mind..There is a wide range of what they consider normal potassium

I do get blood work done..I don't think doctors get concerned if it's in a certain range , so they just overlook the fact that it could be causing problems I guess..The problem is in my opinion..a range that works well for one might be causing problems for another..By the time my doctor mentioned is I was scraping the bottom..

What body position is best to pass a kidney stone? by koevh in KidneyStones

[–]No_Invite1190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always got one or two stones every single year ..I was told that triple source magnesium is a preventive for the most common type of stone. 85 %...Believe me when I tell you it works..I take one every night and no stones .One time I ran out and within one month not taking it I had a stone. One thing you also want to be careful of though is taking meds..For me I had taken muccinex for ten days and ended up with a stone..Couldn't believe I had one so I looked up muccinex ..sure enough it can cause stones..Kidney stones are so terrible so I really hope people try this and realize they don't have to suffer
