I'll eat as many banana's as I have to keep my potassium levels normal. I had a potassium drip once in the hospital and it was so painful and lasted about 3 hours. I don't think I have had a procedure that hurt so bad. My potassium level was so low I was in danger of cardiac problems. Never, ever again!!! Keep those bananas and potatoes coming.

Lack of Potassium is much more damaging and is very common in people on diuretics. > > The only way to do damage, in most people, is to take a 25 ml. syringe, fill it with a KCL (Potassium) solution, stick the needle in a person's vein ( the neck veins work best) and quickly empty the syringe. This, quite likely, will cause cardiac problems, even a heart attack, and perhaps death. There was a serial killer who used this. He was a nurse working with geriatric populations. He moved around the East Coast for a number years. > > Potato Skins have much more potassium than bananas, so, how about baked potatoes for dinner?? > > If you have any questions, write > > Frank >
