Hi Shawn,

 SH> not as good as salt. LOL  My BP is high enough it takes 6 meds to keep
 SH> it under control so I figure the quacks must know how to keep me
 SH> alive.

This isn't food related but something you need to ask your doctors
about. For about 20 years I had, despite 4 meds, hard to control blood
pressure, high triglycerides, potassium that kept (even with
suppliments) bottoming out on me. Finally, in 2015, after an overnight
stay in the hospital and then following up with my primary care doctor,
we got an answer. Steve asked him why my potassium kep bottoming out,
blood pressure was so hard to control, etc. Doctor did some research,
referred me to an endocrinologist who suggested it might be something to
do with my adrenal glands. After testing, found there was no tumor but
they couldn't figure out if it was one or both glands kicking out too
much aldosterone (primary hyperaldosteronism). Put me on a med for that
and have reduced one bp med by half but no more problems. BP is well
controlled, my potassium level has stayed up and triglyceride level has
come back down to the normal range. Just something to think about,
discuss with your doctor next time you go in. Print this out and take it
with you; hopefully you will get an answer.
