A typical western meal includes vegetables as part of the menu. They give you health and keep you alive longer. So when the so-called Super Foods arrived, the majority embraced them with enthusiasm. So it was with me and, being a gardener, my garden has most of them. Bok Choy, Kale, Spinach, etc.
In the last few weeks something started inside my body that there was no control over. The main symptoms were muscle pain, tiredness and dizziness with nausea. After a health problem last year, it is essential to keep gym classes, but they became so difficult to do that a break of more than two months was required.
My doctor told me that the dizziness was coming from loose stones in the ears. He prescribed me lean back over the edge of the bed and turn my head until it starts and then lift it up and turn it to the side.
This is not functional! A naturopath said that the dizziness came from a shoulder injury, while a chiropractor, who is also a doctor, told me the same thing. So the symptoms continued and nothing got better.
One day, after doing a bit of exercise in the garden, my right arm took such pain that I could barely move it. That was diagnosed as a frozen muscle and it took over 2 weeks to improve. The doctor prescribed Valium for me to relax at night as the pain kept me awake. Being allergic to drugs, that advice was not followed.
Since nothing helped medically, it was the Spirit that provided the answer and subsequent healing. Desperate for improvement and with a sincere request to know the cause, it was a huge surprise when he pointed out the Bok Choy.
Without understanding its effect, the Internet provided the answer. It has the highest amount of potassium of the superfoods. Kale ranks second, and spinach a close third. Add to that the almonds that were part of my staples.
Too much potassium creates hyperkalemia (‘potassium toxicity’). While it is essential for good health, helping to prevent heart disease, sugar diabetes, and kidney ailments, the opposite occurs when it is present in excess. In other words, too much potassium damages these organs.
Symptoms include muscle pain, nausea, tiredness, and sudden onset of dizziness, all of which were my symptoms. After my reincarnation and with a strong bond with the Spirit of the Universe, being healed is a great gift and that is what happened. Now back to full strength, the dizziness, nausea, tiredness, and muscle pain are gone. Instead of eating the superfoods, you give them away to other people who might eat them along with a hyperkalemia warning.
