Potassium can be added to your juices as a nutritional supplement. It aids in balancing the electrolytes and minerals. Dr. Gerson found that the basic problem in all chronic degenerative diseases is the loss of potassium from, and the penetration of sodium into the cells, now known as the tissue damage syndrome. The average diet in most countries, especially the developed world, contains far too much salt, which eventually causes the breakdown of the healthy balance within the body. Potassium can be added to your coffee enema solutions if you experience stomach cramping during coffee enemas or are having a difficult time holding the coffee enema in. Sometimes the colon will have mild spasms when the enema coffee goes in. Adding potassium to your coffee enema helps soothe the colon and quiet it down, enabling you to hold the enema coffee in longer. There are 20 teaspoons in 1 bottle (100 grams) of potassium. OTHER PREPARATION You can also Mix all the powder with one quart of distilled water and store in cool dry place away from light. Potassium Compound Salts are an important part of Gerson Therapy Programs.
