SUMMARY

Sodium chloride and phosphoric acid share common properties as electrolytes, which are essential for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function in the body. The discussion highlights that excessive intake of salty foods and phosphoric acid, particularly from Coca-Cola, has provided symptom relief for the original poster's undiagnosed medical condition. This suggests a potential link between electrolyte balance and symptom management. Further exploration into their biochemical roles may yield additional insights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electrolytes and their functions in the human body
  • Knowledge of the chemical composition of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid
  • Familiarity with the effects of diet on health
  • Awareness of common medical conditions related to electrolyte imbalance
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the biochemical roles of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid in human physiology
  • Investigate the impact of electrolyte imbalance on health and symptomatology
  • Explore dietary sources of electrolytes and their effects on health
  • Learn about the medical conditions associated with electrolyte deficiencies or excesses
USEFUL FOR

Individuals experiencing unexplained medical symptoms, nutritionists, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in the relationship between diet and electrolyte balance.

Long story short I have some undiagnosed medical condition that I've been to 5 doctors for. I have a bunch of symptoms and I've learned through experimentation that excessive amounts of salty foods and the phosphoric acid in coca cola dramatically improves my symptoms. I know they are both electrolytes but is there anything else they have in common?
