Alkalizers

2010 was a great year for alkalinity trials. One with Chronic Kidney Disease showing alkalinity increased kidney functioning slowing down diminishing GFR.
2010 scientific clinical trial, alkalinity slows down kidney failure in CKD.
Alkalinity holds the key for longevity. The scientific evidence for this has come through the detailed work of PKD researchers, George and Judy Tanner. It is through their research that we have received verification of our own empirical alkaline experiences. These two brilliant PKD researchers have opened the door for the possibility that alkaline changes could maintain the health of our cystic organs, perhaps for a lifetime. The earlier this is begun, the better are the results. We are grateful for their potassium citrate research [K Citrate] in the PKD model. It is through the Tanners' painstakingly precise measurements and experiments that we have conclusive proof that alkalizers such as potassium citrate, are tremendously helpful in slowing down the progression of polycystic kidney disease.

Early in 1994, Dr. Torres searched out alkalinity in the PKD model. He used baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. The PKD model did improve however they all developed kidney stones. By testing with ammonia, the conclusion was that acidity worsens PKD and alkalinity is beneficial. Newly found knowledge has paved the path that our greatest benefit can be achieved through alkalinity alone. From research by the Tanners on Potassium Citrate they verified that citrate is helpful and potassium is also helpful, however, alkalinity provides the most substantial likelihood of achieving PKD cystic organ health.

Potassium citrate and sodium citrate are equally effective alkalizers. Calcium citrate is less so. With these citrate salts, the citrate molecule flies off and is utilized by the kidney for energy. An alkaline diet alone can achieve alkalinity. For some, supplementation with Potassium Citrate may be required to help regulate a constant alkalinity. Potassium Citrate supplements requires a physician's input to carefully monitor subtle changes in our serum potassium levels. Without this precaution, potassium levels can become dangerously high, and even life-threatening. Perhaps someday, individuals with PKD will be able to self-monitor their potassium levels much like diabetics monitor blood sugar. Get a physician's expertise help and familiarize yourself with high potassium symptoms and low potassium symptoms. If you do not feel well, go immediately to the emergency room or urgent care center and get your potassium level checked.
