I get it at the health food store. LOL The brand is " Celtic Sea Salt " --

You can contact the Grain & Salt Society -- 1-800-TOP-SALT or go to

www.celtic-seasalt.com. I also buy the Fleur de Sel, but that's very expensive

and I only

use it for special dishes. Both come from France. Commercial salt has all

kinds of anti-clumping agents in it, and iodine in some cases. Once you've

eaten sea salt, there's no going back, and it's good for you, too.

I have found that kosher salt tastes like sea salt. Kosher salt is

a good substitute if you can't get the real thing.

There really is no going back once you have had real natural salt.

Kosher salt is pure salt, but it's not sea salt. A better choice than

regular table salt, to be sure. I saw in the spice section of the local

Albertson's

that Hain packages a sea salt for just under $2.00 (it's a big container,

too). Then there is Orso salt, which comes from Utah and is a pinkish color

(from the iron) and that's relatively expensive. It's not necessary to splurge

on

exotic salts, but they are a treat to flavor food. Connie, doesn't your

health food store carry sea salt????? You're in a big city, there must be a

natural grocer near you that would have these salts.

Glitter,

I'm going to have to look and see. I know we carry

some salt, but i can't remember if it's sea salt. I

know we don't carry Kosher or Celtic or any pink kinds

of salt. We do have another health food store a little

north of here, but i haven't had time to run over

there yet. Hopefully next week sometime.

Thanks Glitter,

Connie

I have never thought of different salts providing

different flavors or nutritional value. This is all

new to me. What i want to use is the salt that my

family will not recognize a negative difference on and

one that will provide a good source of minerals.

I was the one who said in the Philippines, it comes

from the sea, when i was growing up on the way to

Batangas, as we pass Las Pinas (known for its salt) we

see mounds of salt being raked after the sea water has

been sun dried. It is white. The same in Nasugbu and

Calatagan, Batangas and elswhere in the islands of the

Philippines and other parts of the world. This type of

salt is similar to the celtic salt of France, sort of

damp/wet.

However, in the US they have sea salt that is from the

deeps of the earth, why they call it sea salt makes me

wonder ... is this why there are now poisonous sea

salts? Probably from pollution and seepages to the

earth?

This is purely anecdotal. But a few days ago, the discussion focused on when to take sea salt in relation to iodine. I had been taking my supps, including iodoral, with a great big glass of sea salt water first thing in the AM. At the time, I was experiencing no detox symptoms, feeling fine on 50 mg a day.

Fast forward to saying she takes her salt within in one half hour of her iodoral but not at the same time. I thought I might give that a try. Well....let the detox begin. For some reason, waiting 20 minutes or so, has unleashed a storm of detox symptoms which I haven't had for a long time. I think it's a good thing because it means the bromine etc. is leaving my system. But what a difference a few minutes makes.

So, FWIW, I think from my personal experience that waiting a bit to take the sea salt promotes better detox.

BarbF

[Guest guest]

But is it actually promoting the detoxification, or just allowing more symptoms to develop? How would you know the difference? Do you feel better in general now taking the salt separately versus taking the iodine and salt at the same time? Or is it too early to tell yet?

Very interesting Barb. I have only done it the way I do it. So I wouldn't know the difference.

These are good questions, Lynne and ones which I really can't answer. My sense is that having more detox symptoms means you are getting rid of more bromide. My last loading test showed that when sea salt was part of the protocol my bromide excretion doubled to more than 60mg per dl.

But of course I don't remember if I took the salt immediately after or with the iodine. Such a learning experience. Can't wait to get all of this crappy bromide out of me, but am not really sure that will ever happen.

Love,

Here's the scary part, Anne...I'm not a newbie. I've been doing the iodine thing for about 3 years now. Your clarification is a good one...even for seasoned iodine users.

Re: Re: Sea Salt

There are 2 different things going on here that newbies get mixed up. You need salt every day, as part of the protocol. You take EXTRA salt to counter detox symptoms, as needed, & that is the "salt loading." But if you need the EXTRA salt too often, it is recommended to cut back on iodine for a while.

Thanks and Anne for taking the time to clarify that. It was very

helpful.

We see this constantly, and I'm fearful some people don't realize that they

should be taking unrefined salt every day just like with magnesium, C, and

selenium.

Salt loading is separate and additional, and not every day.

I just created / uploaded a document explaining the usage of salt for both daily and loading purposes.

Hi there,

Does anyone use Alessi sea salt? many thanks,courtney

[Guest guest]

Celtic Sea salt can be purchased directly from the manufacturer in Asheville, NC. It's $5/pound and $5 shipping for several but there's no certain amount you have to buy. I bought 2 poudns worth last winter and shipped for $5.00

What about Eden's Celtic Sea Salt?

I've just discovered that a local market carries each of these - at least on their website, they do. They also have 8 oz pouches of Celtic Sea Salt. You have to purchase 12 of them but the cost per pound is $5.12 - I'm pretty certain that's a decent price, isn't it?
