My diet is very low in potassium and the supplements I bought have only 99mg of potassium. Can I take more than one, maybe even three?

I am looking at this informational pamphlet on where it says it contains zeolite and potassium permanganate , which is proven to naturally neutralize ethylene gas in the crisper bin and converts it to harmless water vapor. aware of the accelerated ripening process have commercially used the zeolite/potassium permanganate neutralization method for decades…. this disk is effective for up to 3 months… This product that I mentioned I paid about .00 with shipping and handling… Is it cheaper to just buy this, or try to make a home-made version? *If it is possible to make, is it safe to make and cheaper if it is please provide step-by-step method or website of how to actually make the product. for home-use*

I’m doing a project for a class and I need to know how many calories are in each. The size are normal, not too big or too small. Just normal sized fruit! Thanks (:

This is a follow up question to my other question:
I have a 70 year old patient who is in the hospital due to increasing fatigue and ankle edema. He is complaining of loss of appetitie and dyspnea that awakens him at night. He suffered from an acute MI 5 years ago, does not smoke or drink. He is currently taking benazepril 20 mg po daily and furosemide 20 mg po daily. He has gained 9 lbs from his usual weight, BP is 130/70; heart rate 124 and irregular; Resp. 28; Temp 98.8ยบ F; breath sounds clear; heart sounds reveal presence of an S3 gallop; 1+ pitting edema of ankles; liver enlargement; no cyanosis; Chest x-ray reveals congestion of the pulmonary vasculature; ECG shows atrial fibrillation.
So today I read that the physician’s orders include increasing the patients dosage of benazepril to 40 mg po daily, keeping the furosemide at 20 mg daily, and adding digoxin 0.125 mg po daily and titrate to effect.

Based on this info: Should the patient increase potassium intake in his diet? Is there any food he should avoid with these meds?

Are nutrition bars bad for your liver?

Or bad for you in general? Like I’m talking about nutrition / vitamin / protein bars, the ones usually in the section with medication at the drug store?

I buy them on my breaks at work..I only get 15 min at lunch time. What about like fruit to go bars or something?

My motherr got all peeved that i survive off of nutrition bars and said that I probably have the liver of a 70 year old man…

Boy, I love watching it. Lemme know the visible effect, and the chemical reaction taking place.
