Salt

June 2, 2010

I make a brine with Himalayan Sea Salt Crystals. Take a tsp in water

every morning. It has help adrenals. Has so many minerals that my nails are

growing none stop.

Sodium Chloride is bad for you, aka table salt. Sea salt in moderation is

good for you.

You know, some people find sea salt (and even table salt) quite beneficial

for their symptoms -- especially people with poorly functioning adrenals.

So I'm not convinced that sea salt is all that bad for you.

Hi Marc,

Sea salt is a combination of all minerals but mainly NaCl:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt

If you're very low on Sodium (Na), NaCl may help you. But eating food with

organic Sodium would be so much better.

And if your blood pressure is low, well NaCl may be a good thing in the short

run.

But in the end NaCl is toxic. It is proven that it opens the tight junctions...

http://erj.ersjournals.com/cgi/content/full/20/6/1444

I'm copy/pasting interesting text here on this subject...

http://timberwave.com/sodium.html

Humans cannot do what plants can do. You can't go in your backyard, get a spoon

full of soil,dirt. and eat that soil and absorb the minerals from the soil. The

sodium in your salt shaker is inorganic,(dead) sodium. The minerals in your

mineral water are inorganic, unavailable, useless....

Minerals are very important. It is believed to be instrumental in the healthy

function of the human body. The electrical effects or electrolytes which they

impart as they pass through the body enable us to move, work,and think. Some of

these minerals impart the quality of hardness, such as calcium, phosphorus.

Others impart the qualities of softness, flexibility, and activity and the one

mineral most capable of doing this is sodium. Sodium helps us to have

elasticity, limberness, and youthfulness in our tissues, It is necessary to

maintain normal chemical balance not only to the walls of the stomach, but also

the walls of the intestine. It is necessary to regulation of the fluid content

and to normal flora in the intestinal tract, an is necessary to good bowel

function. Sodium greatly affects the fluid balance throughout the body. Sodium

works side by side with potassium. Sodium being extra-cellular and potassium

being intra-cellular. It is unfortunate, therefore, that everyday modern living

habits impose such a drain upon our reserve. We are surrounded by the influences

of today's world of industry and progress:

We have electrical lighting that encourages overwork Radio and television , that

cause tension, computers that call for close concentration and extra eye strain,

etc. Besides all these causes of stress, most people are the victims of

devitalized foods which are acid producing and therefore require alkaline

mineral elements to neutralize them.

The waste acids produced in the body are irritating to the tissues and interfere

with proper functioning that the digestive juices may no longer have proper

consistency, and the acid-alkaline balance may be disturbed. The alkaline

mineral most heavily drawn upon to neutralize these acids is sodium. Reserve

supplies of sodium are stored in various organs of the body but mainly in the

walls of the stomach. This makes the tissues of the stomach highly alkaline, as

they should be to withstand the presence of the hydrochloric acid normally in

the stomach. If it were not for the presence of sodium the stomach walls would

be destroyed by the hydrochloric acid produced in these tissues. When there is

tissue destruction in parts of the walls, we call the resulting sores ulcers.

They can occur when sodium has been drained from the tissues of the stomach for

other purposes in the body. Whenever acids are produced any place in the body

through mental strain, physical strain, eye strain, etc., sodium is withdrawn

from the stomach to neutralize them. This leaves an acid stomach wall. With this

disturbance of balance, the stomach wall cannot properly secrete hydrochloric

acid, so digestion becomes impaired. If we overdraw on the sodium reserve in the

stomach, the organ with the next highest concentration of sodium will begin to

suffer lack because the blood, in attempting to maintain chemical balance, will

borrow it. Those tissues whose sodium-storing capacity is next highest to that

of the stomach are the joint structures of the body. When sodium is withdrawn

from the joints, a serious imbalance is created: calcium is left behind. Now

calcium, with its quality of harshness, can make tissues immobile: the joints

may become rigid unless there is sufficient sodium present to keep the calcium

in solution. Such disorders as neuritis, neuralgia, rheumatism, and arthritis

follow.

Once sodium becomes depleted to a certain point your body will use its large

calcium reserves, to neutralize the bodies acids. Once calcium becomes depleted

to a certain point your liver will manufacture its own ammonia, which can reach

14 on the pH scale, to neutralize acid ash residue. Your body will continue to

function pulling more and more of these alkaline minerals from your cells in

order to neutralize the bodies metabolic acids and acid ash residue from the

acid ash food and metabolic acid you produce. This compounds health problems of

the smallest kind which can develop into more serious health problems. As your

cell pH becomes lower and lower, Your bodies ability to carry oxygen will be

diminished, thus in turn inviting illness to come in.

Many doctors merely say that waste acids are responsible for such conditions,

but actually these acids would not be present if there was an adequate sodium

reserve to neutralize them. In attempts to neutralize excess acids and gas

formations, many persons make the mistake of taking baking soda.

The sodium in this compound is inorganic, it cannot be used by the body, it acts

as an irritant, and can neutralize only with the acid with which it is

immediately in contact.

Some persons expect table salt or sodium chloride to aid in the production of

hydrochloric acid in the stomach, but this also is an irritant and cannot be

used for correction and repair of body tissue.

Instead of using alkalizers and drugs, we should turn to natural food alkalizers

such as are present in vegetable juices, ripe fruits, etc.

When we are confronted with lack of sodium in the body, we should replenish the

supply by using natural foods that are high in sodium content. Raw goat milk is

one of the foods highest in sodium and it is easily assimilated. It seems to be

very beneficial in cases of stomach ulcer and in rheumatic and arthritic

conditions.

Another sodium food which we have used a great deal in both office and

sanitarium practice is Whey. This also is a natural food for acidophilus

bacteria in the intestine. Another excellent source of sodium is veal joint

broth, which is made by cooking out the gelatin from a veal joint with no meat

on it. Plants that are matured in the sunshine are high in sodium. The acids in

green fruits are sour, but when allowed to mature the sodium content gives them

their sweet taste. Citrus fruits, when tree ripened, are high in sodium, but so

many of them are picked green and expected to ripen in storage that eating them

may cause disturbance -- especially in a stomach deficient in sodium. Unripe

fruit never sets well in the human stomach. Cabbage juice and strawberry juice

are good sources of sodium, as is celery stalk. Okra is one of our highest

sodium-containing foods, is very soothing to the stomach wall, and therefore

excellent for cases of ulcer.

We should aim to prevent the formation of excess waste acids in the body so that

we need not bankrupt the organs in which sodium is stored, such as the stomach

and joints. We should constantly replenish the supply be eating natural food

that are high in sodium. We will thus have better digestion, assimilation, and

elimination, and prevent disorders such as arthritis, rheumatism, neuritis and

neuralgia. The very things we would use in the prevention of these symptoms can

also be used for their correction. That which will prevent a disease in many

cases will cure it.

The key things to look out for in salt, is selecting a highly mineralised,

fresh,unrefined, sun-dried sea salt. The sun-dried aspect is worth bearing

in mind â€“ most sea salts are heat treated at high temperatures, and when this

happens the mineral content and quality of the salt will be compromised.

Hereâ€™s a good article on salt:

If you feel better with inorganic minerals it's because you're low on minerals.

And in the short run that may be better than taking nothing at all.

But everybody would be much better with taking organic minerals instead...

I think those that are better with Himalayan/sea salt, must be low in Sodium or

Chloride, because Himalayn/sea salt is mainly NaCl...

Last year I had problems with my knees, if I took water with Himalayan salt, it

was better for my knees. Now I've realized I'm low on Sodium and since eating

more organic Sodium (carrots, celery,...) my knee problems are almost gone...

Sodium is one of the most important minerals and like I had with my knees a lot

of other people may be better with taking salt in the short run... but in the

long run NaCl is no good.

Taking organic stuff may take a bit longer to have an effect you notice but it's

the best choice in the long run.

By the way, Marc, my heart may have missed a beat!, but I've never noticed that

myself or written this here, maybe you're confusing with sb or sth else... I did

write here that when attacked with emf I do get pain in my " heart zone " ...

Below a list of the % of the minerals in Celtic sea salt advised...

The Celtic sea water is for 94% NaCl. And very low on other minerals?

If you take 1 teaspoon of sea salt (4 grams) with your water each day (which is

a lot probably) you have less than 0.0004 mg which is 0.003% of your daily

requirement of Zinc (12-15 mg).

I've checked this also for other minerals and I had the best score for

Magnesium, 1 teaspoon should have (only) 4% of your daily requirement.

It seems that sea water as a food additive is only good for a lot of inorganic

Sodium + Chloride...

minerals...

As this is an older post I'll rephrase,

Concerning adding salt to your food or drinking water I think:

-kitchen salt NaCl is not so good in the long run because it's inorganic and

toxic

-sea salt and Himalaya salt is not much better than kitchen salt because it has

got at least 90% NaCl

-it's better to get Sodium from organic sources such as vegetables, goat's

milk,...

Now I've just read that Dead Sea salt is much more different than other sea

salt: it has got only 30% NaCl...

It has got mainly (this is based on measurements done in the 80's):

51% MgCl2

30% NaCl

14% CaCl2

4% KCl

So dead sea salt seems much better if you want something else than mainly

NaCl... This would also explain why they say it has healing effects to bathe in

the Dead Sea... and not so much to bathe in the Atlantic.

I've just bathed in water + MgCl2 by the way... will let you know if I have

positive effects from it...

I may try bathing in Dead Sea salt and Epsom salts too... Here's an interesting

text on MgCl2 vs MgSO4 (epsom salts):

Hello Bee. My name is Raquel and I have been on the program for 1 week. When you

say : " 1 1/2 teaspoons sprinkled over foods " . Do you mean to sprinkle the salt

after cook the food, or can I add the salt while I am cooking?. Since I started

this diet I am very thirsty and I am drinking a lot of water. I wake up thirsty,

with dry throat. I think that I sprinkle more than 1 1/2 teaspoons over foods

after cook them. Can this be the reason?

+++Hi Raquel,

Welcome to our group. You can use ocean sea salt in these ways:

1) sprinkled on foods after they are cooked

2) added during cooking foods

3) mixed into water

4) by putting a little on your tongue and melting it

The main reason you could be thirsty is because your body is running on its

fight/flight nervous system, which can be due to emotional or physical stress.

Being unhealthy is stress enough. That is because many things change throughout

your body when it's running on that nervous system, including shutting down the

production of saliva.

In order to switch over do deep breathing exercises:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php

Often you'll find saliva suddenly floods your mouth after doing a few of them.

If that doesn't help, let me know.

All the best, Bee

Are you suggesting the Iodoral caused the health problems? What I have found to be true in my limited time on this earth (58 yrs), is when you fix one problem (ie: Iodine deficiency, or it could be anything), once you fix that particular problem, another will raise its ugly head. Our bodies can only handle a couple of issues at a time, and normally our bodies will let you know what those are. Once fixed, it moves on to the next issue.

Years back, I quit smoking. A few months later I got really sick. Fortunately I got the help I needed and recovered. Had I not quit smoking, I probably wouldn't have been able to address this 2nd issue at that time, and I would not be alive today. As it could have been fatal.

,

I am newer at this too, but I found something that works for me.

Drinking the salt in water did not do wonders for me, but you can

put a little of the dose of salt in your drinking water through out

the day so that you have taken it all by the end of the day.

However, I have a Trader Joes store here that sells Pink Himalayan

salt which is in bigger "rocks" and comes in a grinder. I open the

container and shake out about 1/2-1 tsp of rock salt, and just

swallow them like pills. It is really easier for me that way, and

at $1.99 a bottle I don't feel like it taxes my grocery bill every

few weeks.

Also, use your good salt on your food after cooking or sprinkle on

your salads and veggies. That starts to add up in time. I have

usually cooked with a bit lower salt so my family does not crave

salt, but I am upping my seasoning of food just a bit. We still

prefer less salty than processed foods, but a bit more sea salt

would be good for them all.

thank you ! That was the reply I needed!

Yes, my son takes 70 mcg of selenium nearly every day in his multi, and he takes

magnesium several different ways. He cannot tolerate that dose of Vitamin C due

to oxalate conversion, so he gets just the RDA. I do want to add CoQ10 and B's,

but I am waiting for a stool test to check for yeast before starting them (DAN's

recommendations). I have never gotten an OAT but we did do organic acid tests

through a traditional lab...got no info about his Kreb's cycle. I'll look into

that.

Anything else? Thank you so much! I can proceed with confidence now!

12.5 mgs since she was 6 yrs old. Autistic children seem to be very toxic.

Have you considered getting an OATS test? You can get them to tell you where in

their KREBS cycle they are needing nutrients. My son needed B Vitamins & Co-Q10

plus 5 HTP. I would have never guessed that he needed this but it told me this.

He is not autistic but suffers from brain fog. He was also toxic in many

environmental toxins which we tested for as well. It was part of the OATS test

that we could add on. You can google Organic Acid Test or OATS to find out more

info. Where we got it done is not available anymore. You will need to make

sure that you are supporting him with selenium (100 mcg at least 3x / week),

magnesium - I do 100 mgs a few times a week, Vit C in dosages of 2,000 - 3,000

to help with any detoxing. As for the salt. I put it in dipping cups and let

my children eat it out of the cups and put it on their food. They craved it in

the beginning and would eat tons of it. I let them.

No it does not. My husband has hashi's and started on 37.5 mgs Iodoral. He has never been on thyroid meds. He takes the supporting nutrients too.

I have attached the organic acid pathway sheet. You need to take the high indicators and look at the paths. That tells you what nutrients need to be plugged in. The company name on the sheet is the name of the company that did my son's test. This is the KREBS cycle on this sheet.

I have upped all my B vitamins and even bought biotin to supplement, may help

some but certainly not enough. My son is hypo and pdd-nos, I suspect I am as

well and may need meds at this point, it's just so scary, but thanks for

suggesting.

No she is suggesting (I think) that the lack of enough iodine caused health problems.

I am so sorry to ask this again and again, but I don't feel that I've gotten an answer. What is a safe, strong starting dose for an adult with no health problems, and one for a 6 year old with autism? Second, our salt arrived yesterday. We are going to replace our table salt of course, but should we be taking a "dose" of salt also? All of us? How much? What exactly does this do? (I've looked in the files/links and cannot find what I need)thank you, and again I'm sorry to ask the same thing so many times...this is such a big group I think my questions got lost. Thanks!! R

stephanie...do you like the OATS testing better than spectracell? how do you

feel about hair analysis? we did spectracell on some of my kids...not sure how

it compares though...dawn

mgs may be the new needed dose to combat the halides we are bombarded with from
