Dr. Berg explains mineral fluctuation when fasting. There’s always a concern if you would deplete the mineral reserves when doing fasting especially if you’re not taking electrolytes and other trace minerals.

On an average of 72-hour fast:

Sodium: Before (138) and After (136)

Potassium: Before (4.6) and After (4.3)

Magnesium: Before (1.7) and After (1.6)

Calcium: Before (10.3) and After (9.1)

Phosphorus: Before (3.6) and After (3.0)

Zinc: Before (104) and After (117) Increased 3.5x

The body releases from the reserve a lot of zinc because the body needs zinc to make certain enzymes as a part of the antioxidant network that is involved in the repair action and in defending the body against pathogens.

Uric Acid: Before (5.5) to (26-41) and After (3.5) – Massive spike of 5 to 7x. Uric acid is a very powerful antioxidant and is a part of the body’s defense mechanism to kill certain things.

Remedies for Someone Prone to Gout and Kidney Stones:

• Consume Lemon Juice in the Water

• Potassium as an electrolyte

• Hydroxycitrate – Powerful remedy to counteract kidney stones because it dissolves the crystals in both oxalate stones and uric acid stones.
