One cause of this is kidney weakness. I would concentrate on foods /
protocols to strengthen and support the kidneys. Some ideas I've seen
include acupuncture, Swedish massage, contrast hydrotherapy (hot/cold
application), herbs such as Hawthorn, etc. Fish is a suitable
substitute if red meat is contra-indicated. Magnesium supplementation
can help regulate potassium levels. Foods high in magnesium include
nuts and veggies such as spinach, chard, etc. Ayurvedic medicine has
some rasayanas (mixes of herbs/minerals in specific proportions, for
example) that target the organs. Gokshura is a prime herb for that
purpose and is usually mixed with other balancing herbs. I would look
for a Gokshura Rasayana. When changing over to alternative therapy, it
is a good idea to check with the MD a little more often to see what
effect the therapy is having.
