The oldest and most revered tactic for avoiding the misery of guilt is religion. This tactic may be the most deceptive because it comes closest to the truth. It recognizes what the intellectual and physical strategies generally ignore: that the ultimate cause of guilt is that there is a righteous God whose will for his creatures is ignored or defied. It recognizes that under every pang of conscience in the human soul there is the silent, often unexpressed conviction, 'I have gone against God.' The means that religion has developed to deal with this guilt is to try to placate or appease God with good works or religious ritual. Religious people know they owe God a great debt for their disobedience. But they often make the terrible mistake of thinking they can pay it back through good works and the performance of religious duties.

Greetings in the Lord,

Could your dear friend be on any diuretics for blood pressure ? These drugs often given to help the blood pressure
actually flush potassium out of the body and potassium is needed to keep blood pressure under control.
Lean meats, dried apricots, cantaloupe, lima beans and potatoes are all loaded with potassium if you are wishing
to increase the amount ingested.
Potassium intake needs in older folks is often increased in the heat. A nice orange provides 263 milligrams of
potassium.
Canned veggies destroy the natural potassium occuring in that plant.

In my books it says anywhere between 2-6 grams a day is a good dose. Somewhere around 2,500 milligrams.
Magnesium works well for heart problems and stress related problems so it is often used with potassium as it
compliments it.

staying cool in the house in Texas,
Pat
