This is an excerpt from a letter by Richard Moore, MD, PhD dated August 31, 2009. Richard Moore, MD, PhD on how a drug company paid his publisher for a book about using drugs for blood pressure to compete with his book The K Factor (1986) about using potassium for high blood pressure. Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. In 1986, a physiologist at the University of Vermont Medical School and myself got Macmillan to publish [our book] The K Factor: Reversing and Preventing High Blood Pressure Without Drugs” a book which decisively showed that 95% of the cases of hypertension are due to a low ratio of potassium to sodium in the American diet. We did not emphasize it, but since you can’t repair a dietary deficiency with a synthetic chemical [a drug] this clearly indicated that drugs are not the answer for hypertension. Macmillan gave us a $50000 advance and made The K Factor number two in their priority list for 1986 (second only to Margaret Truman’s book about her father). In Publisher’s Weekly, [the publisher, Macmillan] also stated their intention to spend $50000 on advertising. They sent me to a few coaching sessions for being on TV and then had me do a warm-up tour of five medium cities including Dallas, Ft. Worth and Cleveland where they got me onto several radio and TV interviews. In those 5 cities, they sold a bit over 14000 copies of The K Factor in three weeks. This would project to near one million copies nationally. Then, suddenly, Macmillan cancelled the major …

Why not just stop overconsuming sodium instead? Americans consume 4000-5000 mg of sodium per day because of processed foods, but only need 100-400 mg per day. This is an excerpt from a letter by Richard Moore, MD, PhD dated August 31, 2009. Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. About Dr. Moore Dr. Moores received his MD from Indiana University, and his Ph.D. in biophysics from Purdue University. Starting in 1963, Dr. Moore spent 40 years as a college professor and research scientist teaching and researching cellular biophysics. Dr. Moores research group research group discovered that insulin regulates the activity of the mechanism that exchanges potassium for sodium in live cells. Dr. Moores group also discovered that, connected with this, insulin elevates the pH inside cells. This research and that of others then led to insights in how our dietary imbalance between potassium and sodium cause hypertension and other diseases. Since recognizing the critical importance of the dietary ratio of potassium-to-sodium (in 1983), I have been trying to educate the public about this issue primarily by writing books. Dr. Moore is the author of several books including The High Blood Pressure Solution. Dr. Moore is the also co-author of The Salt Solution. This book discusses how an imbalance of potassium and sodium not only affects: stroke hypertension … but also how it affects: osteoporosis stomach cancer asthma kidney disease Richard D.

This is an excerpt from a letter by Richard Moore, MD, PhD dated August 31, 2009. The treatment of diabetes is based upon the idea that the main role of insulin in the body is to lower blood sugar (glucose) levels. Indeed, blood sugar levels rise in diabetes and thus sugar spills over into the urine. Hence the name diabetes mellitus or sweet urine. But the idea that insulins main action is to lower blood glucose turns out to be a historical accident. Basic research done between 1958 and 1963 clearly demonstrates that the main action of insulin is to stimulate the sodium-potassium pump and to reduce the acid inside the bodys cells. A study by Dr. Ken Zierler at Johns Hopkins and also others by my group clearly demonstrated this. Work done by a basic scientist at the University of Illinois also indicated that the high blood glucose in diabetes is not the cause of the pathology. Recently, other investigators at Johns Hopkins have shown that potassium deficiency can cause diabetes. Both Dr. Zierler, the scientist at the University of Illinois, and myself made repeated attempts to inform the American Diabetes Association about this, but in every case, they refused to listen to us. But the glucose dogma was (and is) so strong that almost everyone just knew that tighter control of blood glucose levels would solve the remaining problems to which diabetics are prone. So the NIH conducted the ACCORD study in which the blood glucose in each of 10000 diabetics was lowered to normal …
