I bought this book for my 78 year old friend who found this title in our public library, but wanted her own copy. She had been feeling ill for 6 months, and was finally diagnosed with a low potassium level. This book is an excellent comprehensive guide to understanding the effects a potassium deficency has on a person's body and how to recognize symptoms. Most importantly, it gives valuable dietary advise to control the level of potassium in your body. This book uses a holistic approach to regaining health using quaility supplements, proper nutrition and exercise. It has made a vast improvement in my friend's health.

Unfortunately this piece of fluff is more interested in promoting an agenda than providing solid scientific information for the reader. It promotes the intake of potassium without consideration of the problems for people who are taking medically prescribed medications for other conditions. It is unclear as to how much potassium you should take,how and when. Nor does it relate the connections with sodium and caffeine which the author seems to deem as bad without pointing out that sodium is necessary for life and none of the serious studies about caffeine have indicated a reason not to consume it in an intelligent manner.

A must have for all who suffer with high potassium. Very informative!! Keep close because it will be used constantly.

The book was for people who have low potassium amounts in their blood stream, my husband has to watch not to eat food high in potassium. the book did list foods high in potassium.

Great info on the mineral Potassium & how short our diets are of this mineral. One of the main causes of High Blood Pressure---- this was my own personal experience.
