Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I am not sure of this so I'll post it and make sure its correct. Apparently its the chloride in salt that helps with detox. And so Potassium or magnesium chloride would also work. Albeit without the energy and trace minerals of the sea salt. Be well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thank you Steph, I'll use a little less in my food then I'll take the sea salt with water as suggested. Thank you. > > No not totally correct.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Actually, Dr. Brownstein's article says that *the great majority* of people can use reasonable quantities of unrefined salt (or even refined salt) without substantially raising blood pressure. That is not the case for everyone. He points out that a small percentage of people may have trouble with salt, i.e. those with kidney problems and those who are unusually salt-sensitive for other reasons. As he says, it's easy enough to find out if you are salt sensitive by monitoring your blood pressure while varying your intake of salt. Salt sensitivity is much more common among some racial groups than others. Dr. Brownstein does not mention it in this article, but there is evidence that by lowering carbohydrate consumption, salt-sensitive people may become tolerant of salt. And that lowering carb consumption is a much more effective way to reduce blood pressure than lowering salt intake in any case ( Taubes has written about this). These ideas can also be tested very easily by anyone who wants to experiment for themselves, especially now that accurate, in-home blood pressure monitors have become affordable. It's important not to overgeneralize. The politicized hysteria over salt is nonsensical, but for some it is something to be careful with. > > > > > > > > No not totally correct.
