Electrolyte balance (electrolyte excess/electrolyte deficiency)

Section from data gathering form
Electrolyte Balance comes in at the top of the hierarchy of all the points of stasis that we are looking to bring into balance. Certain issues with digestion may take priority from a point of view of processes that need to be corrected before anything else can get better, but as far as those ideal ranges of things to watch, our electrolyte balance is the most critical. Why is it so important? Well, if our electrolyte balance falls too far out of range, either towards electrolyte excess or electrolyte deficiency, then the delicate electromagnetic suspension that holds our blood cells apart (a state of dispersion, or colloidal suspension maintained by an electromagnetic force known as Zeta Potential) could fail and our blood could clot together, resulting in widespread clotting of the blood known as disseminated intravascular coagulation. This is pretty much what happens in nearly 30% of deaths in Australia. Every 12 minutes an Australian dies of cardiovascular disease - the end stage being congestive heart failure. What often fails to be mentioned is that in the mass majority of cases, its not a problem with the heart itself so much as the state of the blood that it has to pump.

Revolutionary insight into the national epidemic that is cardiovascular disease has been made by an osteopathic physician, Dr. T.C. McDaniels. He was the first, or one of the first, to note that blood is a “colloidal suspension maintained by zeta potential”. What exactly that means is that our blood cells maintain proper spacing and circulation so long as there is sufficient anionic energy to keep the cells dispersed. If we eat and drink in such a way as to support healthy electrolyte balance, then our blood will have the ionic energy to maintain healthy circulation.

Definition of terms
  • Zeta Potential- Zeta potential indicates the degree of repulsion between adjacent, similarly charged particles in a dispersion. 
  • Anionic (-) negative charged. Anionic substances in the blood repel each other and keep the blood dispersed. 
  • Cationic (+) positive charged. Cationic substances in the blood causes the blood to aggregate or clump together.

Either too many or too few electrolytes, or electrolytes with the wrong electromagnetic charges, can result in a collapse of the colloidal suspension with severe disease consequences.

If you or someone you care about has a history or risk of heart failure, heart disease, cardiovascular disease or kidney disease, we highly recommend you take an active role in preventative health care by monitoring your electrolyte balance and reading the work of Dr. T.C. McDaniel, whose insights have contributed greatly to the information presented here.

Electrolyte excess imbalance

The electrolyte state is defined by blood pressure. (Though other portions of the test determine the electrolyte state as well, like conductivity/MS measurements for urine and saliva). When blood pressure is high, it's an indication of high amounts of minerals in the system. (Sugars and proteins are also in the mix.) High blood pressure is usually caused by high electrolytes (mineral/ salts), sugars, or protein or any combination of those three.

Basically, high blood pressure can be an expression of insufficient, or lousy kidney function, meaning that when excessive electrolytes become concentrated in the body fluids, it’s usually a result of a lack of hydration (not drinking enough pure water), or impaired excretion of mineral salts. High blood pressure can also result from a constricted vascular system. 

Most commonly, drinking more pure water is a priority for someone with high blood pressure, but if a catabolic imbalance also showed up on your test, you may need to work to improve that imbalance as well so the body will send more water through the kidneys.

This imbalance may show itself in the form of a number of different symptoms or "conditions". The outcome may be different depending on the individual, but you may have already found yourself experiencing one or more of the following issues at some point:
  • High blood pressure
  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Poor circulation
  • Inability to properly transport oxygen, nutrients, waste products, antibodies and more, throughout your system.

Electrolyte deficiency imbalance

If your tests gave some indications that you have an Electrolyte Deficiency Imbalance. This means you appear to have a deficiency of certain mineral salts in your body fluids. Your low level of electrolytes may be due to either an inadequate intake of needed minerals, an inability to properly digest your food and assimilate the minerals found in your food, or some individuals may have a hormonal issue in which they don't make enough anti-diuretic hormone from the post-pituitary gland and they will pee out most of their salts. In any case, you may be losing minerals faster than you are taking them in.

The minerals, or salts, in the system represent the conductivity, or ability for electricity to flow through the system. When the mineral content is low, there's no spark and energy can be low. Without this energy, the brain can't function at it's full potential due to the lack of minerals required for signals to travel through. 

This imbalance may show itself in the form of a number of different symptoms or "conditions". The outcome may be different depending on the individual, but you may have already found yourself experiencing one or more of the following issues at some point:
  • chronic fatigue
  • low blood pressure
  • menstrual cramps
  • poor circulation
  • decreased libido
  • depression or anxiety
  • vertigo or dizziness when standing
  • cravings
  • insomnia
