Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It just hit me yesterday that all the literature says to use salt loading to get out the bromine that your body is detoxing because the chlorine gets the bromine out. I don't know much about chemistry, but I don't see how the chlorine would get the bromine out. I am assuming the bromine detox is happenning because the iodine has displaced the bromine, and I don't think bromine can link up with chlorine. Maybe there is something else that is supposed to be going on and I just haven't come across it yet. It would seem more likely that the Na would link up with the bromine, but that's only if bromine replaces chlorine in any given solution. Either way, I've stopped drinking the salt water and started making potassium broth type soup and feel much better. When I was doing Gerson Therapy several years ago I read a lot about the sodium/potassium balance, and I'm reading/leaning in that direction again. Potassium helps your body let go of toxins, while salt makes your body hold on to them. I wonder why bromine detox would cause pain to begin with? Pain is inflammation, so what type of inflammation is it causing? This is important to know to help figure out how to ease the pain. Salt water doesn't do it for everybody. Sorry for the rushed sound of this message, but I wanted to post this before I go to work and I'm running late. I don't mean to be cynical, I just have a lot of thoughts going on in my head now that my brain is turning back on.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Donna, Salt, NaCl, is a combination of sodium plus chlorine. Actually there are a lot of different salts. The information about salt loading says that it's the chloride part of the NaCl that is detoxing the bromine. The chloride part of NaCl, if it were to split, is chlorine. Chlorine is a halogen, along with iodine, bromine, and fluorine. They can all attach to potassium or sodium, but they can't attach to each other. If the iodine makes your body detox bromine, it is somehow displacing it from where ever it's being stored by your body. If anyone knows exactly where it is being stored, for example inside the cells, and what form it's in (is it stored as potassium bromate and the other entire molecules such as the flame retardant chemical), or is it simply by itself. Mostly I am wondering why detoxing it would cause pain, while having it in your body doesn't necessarily cause pain. Chlorine, bromine, and fluorine, like iodine, kill bacteria. Bacterial die-off in the body causes inflammation and pain. Is that what's happenning when you start to replace the bromine with iodine? Is only the iodine causing the die-off, or is the set-free bromine causing die-off, too. This may not seem to matter, but it really does. It matters because there may be other things you can do to help your body while you're detoxing.
