Alkalinity

Alkalinity Alkaline Articles Potassium Citrate Citrate Articles Who Ate Ham Sandwich? Testing pH Citrate FAQs   Dedication To anyone who may have thought, one drop of water does not make a river. Alkalinity holds the key for longevity. We now have scientific verification of our own anecdotal experiences in maintaining alkalinity, (the earlier begun the better). Scientific backup has come through the work of George and Judy Tanner. These two researchers have opened the door for the possibility that alkaline dietary changes could maintain cystic kidney health. We are grateful for their potassium citrate research in the PKD model. Painstakingly precise experiments showed that an alkalinizing salt of citrate is helpful in slowing the progression of polycystic kidney disease. This paved the path to the discovery that the most benefit was achieved through alkalinity alone, though citrate is helpful and potassium is also helpful. -- select potassium citrate/alkalinity topic -- potassium citrate who ate my ham sandwich? potassium citrate questions potassium citrate what is it? alkaline kidney diet alkaline liver diet alkaline diet questions alkaline foods alkaline menu how to test urinary pH read potassium citrate/alkalinity medical articles Sodium citrate and potassium citrate are equally effective alkalizers. Calcium citrate is less so. In the normal progression of PKD toward end stage renal disease, potassium rises. Many doctors prescribe sodium bicarbonate tablets as an inexpensive alkalizer to correct body acids. Unfortunately sodium bicarbonate increases formation of kidney stones. Individuals with PKD cystic kidneys have a 30% greater chance of forming stones. One alternative might be to ask your physician if you might try sodium citrate, or an alkaline diet to regulate alkalinity, provided this diet was geared toward the health of your cystic organs. This requires a physician to carefully monitor subtle changes in serum potassium levels. Potassium levels can become dangerously high, and even life-threatening, without this precaution.
