Can Baking Soda Reduce High Potassium Levels?

Angie (Concord, Nc) on 03/09/2013

Hi earth clinic friends, I had my potassium levels checked twice in the last two weeks it's remained the same - 5.5. I am about to have elective surgery in one week. The doctor has given the green light but, I was wondering if I could use baking soda to reduce my level.

I so love this site even though a lot of it goes over my head. I wish smartness was contagious.

How do I lower high potassium level?

Ted (from Bangkok-RIP) suggested taking sea salt to lower potassium levels & I'm wondering if anyone has tried this & if using Himalayan salt would work. Also read some time ago that taking baking soda reduces potassium - anyone out there with high potassium levels have any suggestions??
