Potassium

I have been having a lengthy bout with plantar fasciitis and I'm now having some incredible relief after starting to seriously up my potassium intake. The daily recommended dosage is 4700 mg. Most of us get nowhere near that. You'd be eating all day to do it with food. I use a salt substitute, which is potassium chloride, and while I started the potassium for other reasons, lo and behold, my heel pain has vanished after two weeks! It's well known that potassium deficiency causes leg cramps, but I'm guessing it contributes to the heil pain too. Try increasing potassium to at least the minimum daily requirement, and see if it helps!
