I also read that Himalayan salts contain high fluoride, there is so much propaganda out there, both for and against, leading to contradictions. Am confused, lol As for palpitations, from what I read, salt helps regulate with cardiac electrical conductivity, with ion channels and action potentials etc.. -- Ariel MonserratPublisher & Managing EditorGreen Egg zinewww.greeneggzine.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Whole salt has a mineral profile that is nearly identical to our own blood. We are meant to eat whole salt and it is as necessary to life as water or air (it's just you die less quickly without it), it is one of the very few things that people absolutely cannot live without. The ratios of the minerals are in perfect balance. Mineral balance is very delicate in our bodies. That is why refined salt, stripped of the rest of its mineral profile, throws the body off kilter and creates disease. -- At 07:41 AM 3/21/2011, you wrote: >Reading about various salts such as Himalayan, >Celtic etc... suprised to find out how very little minerals they >contain.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Don't know who 'Told' you, but, Fed. Gov't mandates 'salt' either have the amount of iodine in it controlled, by refining it to just sodium chloride, and then adding a specified amount of iodine,or stating right on front of package " THIS SALT DOES NOT SUPPLY IODIDE, A NECESSARY NUTRIENT'.It says that on the front of my package of Real Salt, and undoubtedly on packages of Celtic, Hymalayan, etc.On the back of the same package where it says that, it says, under nutrition facts, that it contains 10% of the daily value of iodine.serving size 1/4 teaspoon. Also on list of trace minerals, it lists Iodine .002%.Unless they are making a distinction between iodide, and iodine.,.... Oh, now I get it!!! All those warnings not to take iodine, due to the meltdown in Japan, because we might be allergic to it, and could do more harm than good; they were saying not to take IODINE.Apperently we can take all the IODIDE we want, cause the Fed has detirmined THAT is a necessary nutrient.Just got to watch that iodine stuff; thats dangerous.LOL I swear, the Fed. Gov't really would mess up a,...well, you know, pleasant dream.Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think you got this backwards. They are telling people to not take the Potassium Iodide pills that are meant to counter radioactive iodine. It's the quantity that concerns them - 130 mg per day. Pamela > > Oh, now I get it!!!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 My biological dentist sent a number of salts out for independent testing with Doctor's Data, Inc. for the sake of toxicity and Himalayan sea salt was the highest for arsenic. I used to use it exclusively and guess what was elevated quite a bit in my recent hair test....yup, arsenic!! I have no other sources of arsenic that I can track down. I have switched to Real Salt, because their testing suggested it (and Morton's Canning and Pickling salt) to be the safest. Obviously Real Salt would be preferable to Morton's Canning and Pickling, but even Andy Cutler PhD, a chemist, recommends the Morton's. > > > > > > > > > > > Reading about various salts such as Himalayan, > > Celtic etc... suprised to find out how very little minerals they > > contain.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Interesting about the arsenic. A few years ago my arsenic was off the charts in a RBC test. I was using Redmond's sea salt at the time but never gave it a thought. I was also taking Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil daily. When I researched arsenic I learned that there is organic and inorganic arsenic. Organic sources are soil, seafood and cod fish. There was no mention of sea salt but perhaps this is where the seafood and cod fish get it?! There is a place in India, can't recall the name, where the soil arsenic levels are extremely high. A urine test will show whether arsenic is organic or not. I did that test and it came back as all organic. I called the Blue Ice Cod Liver oil people who insisted it couldn't be their product as they test regularly. I stopped taking it and haven't taken any cod liver oil since. Just this year, out of curiousity, I did another urine test and not a hint of arsenic showed up. And, I haven't been using the Redmond's salt regularly as I was back then either. Interestingly I was feeling quite good when that arsenic showed up in my blood and urine.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sorry, you took me seriously.Should always consider that about 1/2 the time, I'm being facetious; especially when it concerns Gov't actions, or the mainstream medical community.Such was the case, here. They all need to go to Chiro-proctologists,in my opinion.Or at least get a plexiglass window installed in their bellies, so they can see where the **LL they're going, (and taking us, if we're foolish enough to follow them)!;-)Jim > > > > Oh, now I get it!!!
