To anyone who may have thought, that one drop of water does not make a river.

Here are a few pages about alkalinity and potassium citrate. Alkalinity holds the key for longeveity. We are grateful to the research done by the Tanners with potassium citrate in the PKD model. Their experiments showed that an alkalinizing salt of citrate is helpful in slowing the progression of polycystic renal disease. Through their very precise experiments it was discovered that where potassium helped and citrate helped the most benefit was obtained from alkalinity alone. Sodium citrate and potassium citrate were equally effective. Calcium citrate was 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 cystic kidneys have a 30% greater chance of forming stones. One alternative might be to try an alkaline diet to regulate alkalinity, provided this was geared toward the health of your cystic organs. |
