 Arthritis and Potassium
Potassium is thought to be essential to defense against pathologic bacteria on the basis of increased liability to infection of deficient kidneys which have suffered no change otherwise.
Potassium must sometimes be conserved also, but since the amount of potassium in the serum is very small and the pool of potassium in the cells is fifty times as large, the situation is not so critical for potassium.
Potassium is primarily blocked from loss in the kidneys by a drastic decline of aldosterone during dehydration.

Potassium, as are all minerals, is extremely stable and cannot change into another element except through a nuclear reaction brought on by a tremendous amount of energy.
Potassium is the main cation (positive ion) of the cells and its concentration in the intracellular fluid (within the cells) is greater than in the extracellular fluid (outside the cells).
Potassium deficiency is associated with general muscle weakness which may lead to reduced intestinal tone and distention, to cardiac abnormalities, and to respiratory failure.

 Potassium deficiency (plants) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Potassium deficiency, also known as potash deficiency, is a plant disorder that is most common on light, sandy soils, as well as chalky or peaty soils with a low clay content.
The deficiency most commonly affects fruits and vegetables, notably potatoes, tomatoes, apples, currants, and gooseberries, and typical symptoms are brown scorching and curling of leaf tips, and yellowing of leaf veins.
Deficient plants may be more prone to frost damage and disease, and their symptoms can often be confused with wind scorch or drought.

 ARM & HAMMER Animal Nutrition Group: Potassium Deficiency   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Recent research at Washington State University indicates that nearly all cows, and especially those in early lactation, are potassium deficient.
Cows lose more potassium through milk production and normal body processes than they can take in through feed ingredients.
This practice helps maintain blood buffering capacity, while supplying the necessary potassium to meet the cow’s needs.
