Hi, this has been on my mind for sometime now, and I wanted to ask you
all a few questions. I have read an article at Electrolyte Panel. I was reading about it on medical health care info http://www.medical-health-care-infor...lyte_Panel.asp which says An electrolyte panel is a test that measures the levels of several substances (including electrolytes) in your blood. Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that are found naturally in the body. They keep the body's balance of fluids at the proper level and help maintain normal functions, such as heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function. Your health professional may order an electrolyte panel for routine health screening or to help detect and monitor certain conditions. An electrolyte panel may be done to confirm a suspected electrolyte imbalance, which may occur after taking certain medications; for example, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may increase potassium in the body, while certain diuretics may decrease potassium in the body....... While it must be true, I wonder what you have to say about it. Do let me know! Regards, Leena |

Regards, Leena I think your body has a whole lot of regulating mechanisms to keep electrolyte levels correct. The test you refer to is one that people are given to find out if those mechanisms have broken down for some reason (often dehydration, glandular problem, or dietary deficiency). I am not sure how this would apply to tea. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
