Here’s the exact amount you need to use and where to get it…

How do you know you have low metabolism?
Your body temperature should be 97.8 °F when you wake up and rise to 98.6 °F during the day.
If it’s low, if you are always cold, or have cold hands and cold feet, that is usually a sign of low metabolism.
You don’t lose weight easily. No matter how little you eat, your belly fat doesn’t come off.
You don’t feel a high sex drive. Nope, not like it used to be. And even if you had a high libido, your penis refuses to cooperate.
Or, you have high blood pressure or diabetes.
It’s not in your imagination. Your metabolism has slowed down.
Healthy men can eat practically whatever they want. Their metabolism is so high that they burn those calories by being warm all the time.
And their penis functions at youthful levels for decades and decades.
There is a simple shortcut to healthful, youthful erections like this and amazing sensitivity and sexual performance…

Potassium prevents cancer – and it’s easy to put into your diet
Cancer is a billion-dollar industry, the medical industry has invented numerous contrivances in the aim of “curing” it.
Most of them are rather complex: microsurgery, γ-knife radiation, and all manner of synthetic molecules…
But, really, they developed most of these things for profit. Charlatanry in the 21st century takes on new and elaborate forms.
And most Americans fall for all of it.
They believe the most complex procedures with the most esoteric names must be the most effective, the “cutting edge”…
Yet, most of these technologies yield terrible survival rates and can even be harmful.
There’s also that common fallacy of “whatever treatment is most expensive must be the most effective”…
That belief that provides a sizeable profit to those who over-charge us for those treatments.
[cmamad id=”18343″ align=”center” tabid=”display-desktop” mobid=”display-desktop” stg=””]
Despite what the cancer industry projects as “the truth,” the most effective modalities that reverse cancer are actually the cheapest.
The Gerson Therapy, for instance, is only a diet change.
People following this approach have been found to have 5-year survival rates over twice that of patients following conventional treatments.
Can anything possibly be cheaper than fasting?
Potassium is expected to prevent – and perhaps even reverse – cancer of all types.
This statement follows directly from scientific studies spanning decades, a logical near-certainly.
More specifically, it is the sodium/potassium ratio in the cell’s interior that determines the mitotic rate.
Dr. Clarence Cone proved this in a series of studies beginning in the late 1960s.
Doctor Cone was a meticulous and brilliant man who headed the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at NASA’s Langley Research Center.
“The rapidly dividing cells had significantly higher sodium concentration than did the slowly dividing cells…”
This phenomenon was taken rather seriously after it was first discovered.
Since then, science has compiled enough confirmatory data in support of this – we can rightly consider it a biochemical law.
The cells’ membrane potential was found responsible for its proliferation rate slightly before the sodium/potassium ratio was.
This was discovered right after the invention of the Ling microelectrode.
Back then, the membrane potential was easier to measure than intracellular sodium/potassium concentrations.
In those days, you actually had to kill the cell before you could determine its mineral concentration.
Neurons rarely (if ever) divide, and often have membrane potentials of about −70 mV.
Normal cells (of course) freely divide, and these most often range between −40 and −60 mV.
Cancer cells proliferate at the fastest rate.
And they often have potentials ranging between −10 and −20 mV.
The observation that cell proliferation rate correlates with membrane potential is extremely consistent.
That’s another biological “law” and it also varies through the cell cycle:
Electrical potentials can move ions (charged atoms).
And ion movement can also create electrical potentials.
For these reasons, Cone determined the cells’ sodium and potassium contents.
Cone discovered that the interior sodium concentration also corresponds to the mitotic rate and cell cycle in a way that precisely mirrors the changes in membrane potential.
“The sodium level, in particular, was assumed to be of major mitogenic importance…”
Graphs depicting both parameters would be superimposable.
A decrease in potassium has also been consistently observed, meaning that the greatest change is seen with the Na+/K+ (sodium/potassium) ratio.
Other than sodium, potassium, and chloride, other ions don’t vary much at all.
This has been confirmed by dozens of studies.
The intracellular sodium increase had been demonstrated by flame spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, and even 23Na NMR Spectroscopy in living cells.
“The intranuclear sodium/potassium ratios were more than five-fold higher in the cancer cells on the average… The results obtained fit well with the theory of Cone…”
The membrane potential can provide the electromotive force to move ions and redistribute them.
And the Goldman Equation predicts a cell’s ion concentration, determining the potential.
So then what controls what? Exactly?
Cone concluded that membrane pores were responsible for sodium influx and that sodium directs mRNA and DNA transcription.
In short, sodium and potassium are fundamentally involved in this.
Cone also showed that sodium can stimulate proliferation when added to extracellular fluid…
So this effect does have practical implications.
And Birger Jansson compiled a substantial amount of epidemiological data – and clinical evidence – implying that the dietary sodium/potassium ratio influences potassium rates.
So having too little potassium in your diet could allow too much sodium into the cell, promoting proliferation and cancer.
These two ions compete with one another. The counterion of Na+ (sodium) is K+ (potassium).
But how could a monovalent ion do anything, really?
(Monovalent means something that can only form one ionic bond. You can look it up if you want to.)
Sodium has a higher osmotic coefficient than potassium.
So you could expect it to “swell” and expand the cell.
But how can we explain the increase in mRNA and DNA that it induces?
Unlike Mg2+ (magnesium) and Ca2+ (calcium), sodium and potassium don’t bind proteins selectively.
In the past, scientists have explained how cells maintain their potassium/sodium gradients through proteins. But these explanations seem unrealistic in light of new data.
That concern might be a bit of a red herring because protein binding means little in comparison to DNA binding – which potassium and sodium have been shown to do.
Scientists have discovered that guanine-rich segments at the ends of chromosomes can bind both sodium and potassium, thereby affecting significant changes in geometry.
(Guanine is a part of DNA and RNA.)
Bear with me here…
Sections of DNA would be available for sodium and potassium to bind because the nuclear membrane is permeable to them.
The sodium-binding segments are found at the very ends of long DNA strands called telomeres.
Of course, it must be the ends of the chromosome that start unraveling first before the entire DNA strands are replicated, or another new copy duplicated for the daughter cell.
According to the Cone, the DNA replication stage occurs shortly after the membrane potential hits its low – right after the sodium influx.
“Decreased intracellular potassium concentration could account for the observed depolarization.”
And according to Boonstra, the DNA replication stage is also preceded directly by the efflux of potassium ions.
The nucleus is permeable to the sodium and potassium ions, so the concentration in there is equal to that in the cytosol.
(Cytosol: the aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell.)
In this study, they used Oxytricha and Tetrahymena telomeres with GGGG segments… But mammalian telomeres are also sodium/potassium active.
All mammalian telomeres are characterized by direct repeats of the sequence TTAGGG.
Despite the title, the majority of this article actually pertains to non-mammalian telomeres.
Nonetheless, the study did prove that mammalian telomeres were also sodium- and potassium-responsive.
And also that they flip between conformations at physiological concentrations, perhaps making this the most probable explanation for Cone’s and Boonstra’s data.
And of course, many other studies indicate the same.
“Antiparallel quadruplex structures are favored in the presence of high concentrations, 140 mM, of sodium. External loop, also known as propeller – parallel-type structures are favored in the presence of high concentrations, 100 mM, of potassium…”
Telomere geometry is difficult to depict graphically, and since he’s a scientist and not an artist perhaps he should be forgiven.
We should all take this sodium/potassium ratio seriously.
Since their relative concentrations matter most – not the absolute sodium intake – then salt can do little, given enough potassium.
Cells have only so much space, and they can only have one or the other – sodium or potassium.
Cone and other showed this and, in fact, it is intuitive.
This ion competition holds true on any level you look – from the epidemiological studies of Jansson, through the cell studies of Cone, and even down to the DNA telomere as shown by Rujan.
You could take a few grams of potassium per day and forget about it, and not even worry about the sodium you consume.
In this way, a person who knows that the sodium/potassium ratio is important can one-up those people who go to great pains to avoid salt.
“All the malignant tumors studied have a much higher average value for the sodium/potassium ratio: it increased to 666, 508, and 508% of the control value in the three groups of cancer cells, respectively.”

What’s a good workout for men with high blood pressure?
Even when I had high blood pressure, I would still go to the garage and dust off my weights…
I would get on my bench press – after doing five reps I could barely get up…
My head would be pounding. I would feel dizzy as I stumbled back to the kitchen to check my blood pressure.
I checked with my blood pressure machine… And my blood pressure always went through the roof whenever I tried to lift something heavy.
But I wanted to keep lifting… So I found a simple pre-workout activity that would drop my blood pressure.
Now after I do this simple pre-workout activity, I can squat and deadlift with no big increase in blood pressure.
