In a previous post I had made a few months back,  "  I talked about the connection between a mycotoxin called patulin and the symptoms of low potassium. 

In this post I had found a powerful discovery linking mycotoxins to a potassium deficiency.  Mind you, I am not a scientist nor did I make the scientific discovery but I did make the research study finding that applies to us "moldies" as a whole that I think could be of significant value to our healing processes.

If you are not sure what potassium is or does in the body, potassium is an essential nutrient used to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. When you have a deficiency in potassium it causes:

• muscle spasms
• muscle weakness,
• muscle aches,
• muscle cramps
• Heart Palpitations (irregular heartbeats).
• fatigue
• irritability
• hypertension (increased blood pressure).

Unless you are on dialysis, or have a special condition involving potassium, overdose of potassium from natural sources is nearly impossible; however, it is possible to consume too much potassium via potassium salts which can lead to nausea, vomiting, and even cardiac arrest. Potassium from natural food sources is the best possible way to deliver potassium to the body.
