Re: And the Salt-C approach?

[Guest guest]

One death was attributed to high salt " non-nutritional mineral poisoning " , so

I'll reiterate my warning about high salt.

A lot of people don't bother to balance their high salt therapy with a little

potassium, like one is expected to with the alkalinizing approach of cesium

chloride therapy. Rhabomyolysis, a condition in which one wastes high-oxygen

tissues, causing muscle and brain wasting and sudden death due to heart attack,

can occur with high salt combined with low potassium.

Besides outright poisoning, there's also an elevated hypertension risk with the

high salt approach. I've been urging people for years to take these into

account, and one more opportunity to save a life is all I need to bring it up

again

But I'm assuming that those of us using therapeutic doses of iodine (50mg and

up), along with the companion supplements of selenium, magnesium, and Vit C are

fine with the suggested higher amounts of unrefined sea salt...along with the

salt loading protocol necessary when experiencing detox symptoms, yes?

My own blood pressure lowered, and I quickly experienced a feeling of better

health, overall, when I began using Himalayan and Celtic sea salt very

liberally.

Hi ; The wasting of rhabdomyolysis is due to CoQ10 depletion in the

mitochondria, resulting from cell suffocation in the presence of excess sodium,

and it is more pronounced in the context of marginally low cellular potassium, a

category that most people probably would fit into, especially those who don't

clear sodium as well.

A brilliant primer on how electrolytes, minerals, charge and toxicity all effect

lymph, oxygenation, and cellular chemistry, is Dr. Steve Haltiwanger's

Electrical Properties Of Cancer Cells:

You may not have cancer but you may need to know this material anyway as high

salt can be contributory.

Using No-Salt brand or some other potassium salt in food, as well as larger

servings of high-potassium foods, would help to increase one's potassium level

if one chooses a high salt therapy. Sea salt doesn't contain enough potassium to

qualify as a mineral source by the way.

The other aspect of high salt, namely high blood pressure and edema, is to be

dealt with separately, but there again potassium is the diuretic of choice.

CoQ10 supplements will offset the CoQ10 depletion of course.

I'd like to mention here that I and many others believe that that " chasing the

herx " has resulted in many people putting themselves at considerable risk by

confusing self-induced toxicity symptoms with a sought-after " herx reaction " . I

urge people to just be careful out there when they're self-healthing and plan to

take the precaution along with the therapy.

all good,

My own approach allows what I think is quite a lot of salt and I'm probably not

very careful with it; I often eat cheese, some cured meat, butter sometimes

salted sometimes not, occasional potato chips, etc., so I don't add sodium salt

to food at all but I do add high-potassium " No-Salt " if I salt, such as on

popcorn. In summer I add a couple of grams of " No-Salt " also to a jug of

unsweetened lemon juice.

My blood pessure used to be high enough to medicate even though I was on a

healthy diet and some supplements but BP is excellent now. I think I'm one who

gets hypertensive from salt.

Yeah, I'm weak, I scarf down a whole bag of potato chips every few weeks or so.

I take glutathione enhancers anyway, that'll conjugate the acrylamide in them,

and I average the brief excess salt by not salting my other food with sodium

salt. I use No-Salt if I salt at all to increase my potassium intake. I avoid

carb snacks and bread, and I rarely have potatoes in a meal, so the carbs aren't

an issue.

all good,

Hi Alobar:

I never cease to be amazed by your creative logic... and I mean this in

a good way.

Cheers,

>Sometimes we crave what the body needs. But at other times we crave

what is bad for us. Before I understood that oxalate foods were bad

for me (because of my leaky gut), I craved spinach, chocolate, and

pistachio nuts -- all of which are high oxalate.

I *never* mix unhealthy foods with healthy foods. According to a

College prof who counseled a friend of mine, the body will start

craving the unhealthy foods.
