Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Salt is Vital to Your Life. According to an Internet search, the best salt is Celtic's gray salt. http://www.healthfree.com/celtic/index.html It is 84% salt, and the rest are important healthy minerals. Sulfur, magnesium, calcium & potassium Carbon, bromine, silicon,nitrogen, ammonium, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, boron, lithium Argon, rubidium, copper, barium, helium, indium, molybdenum, nickel, arsenic, uranium, manganese, vanadium, aluminum, cobalt, antimony, silver, zinc, krypton, chromium, mercury, neon, cadmium, erbium, germanium, xenon, scandium, gallium, zirconium, lead, bismuth, niobium, gold, thulium, thallium, Ianthanum, neodymium, thorium, cerium, cesium, terbium, ytterbium, yttrium, dysprosium, selenium, lutetium, hafnium, gadolinium, praseodymium, tin, beryllium, samarium, holmium, tantalum, europium Agnes is right. Salt is very important. But not man-processed salt, where the expensive minerals have been taken out, and artificial chemicals added to it. I read that the artificial chemicals added to keep the salt free flowing may cause propblems. A problem with cancer patients is that nutrients have difficulty getting into cells, and the chemical in man-adultered salts help keep them from getting in. ---------------------> >This is pure spam.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 HELLO, I have been reading the info shared on SALT. INTERESTING. I too have issues with salt, thirst (lack of) and such. Way back when, I could eat salt all day and be fine. Actually, I do remember at 16 YO I had major problem with swollen hands/feet and had to wrap in towels due to sweat/water retention ... yet I had never sweat under arms or anywhere else... at that time though I suspect I had been reinfected with lyme as I had just moved to deer and tick ridden area.... and had other symptoms (severe headaches, vision trouble, weak etc)..... anyway.... NOW I cannot touch salty food with out BLOWING UP... MY lower legs get so swollen I have to put them up looks like skin is going to rip and rock hard filled with fluid.... and feels like I have no circulation in legs and painful.... I am only 42 and underweight... anyway so I stay away from salt big time.... if I even eat a salted fry out or anything it happens, I do not have to eat a lot of it.... I also never feel thirst.... this has worried me, so of course in hot weather I drink more water JUST becuase.... and then I have symptoms where I feel WATER INTOXICATED.... woozy, drunk and sleepy.... I have realized over the last few years when I got very sick that salt is an issue but do not know why... this sheds a little light on the way it can cycle into a problem. Maybe I need to reintroduce some sea salt into my diet slowly and see if it helps. I just dont like 3 days of leg problems due to one french fry! I had assumed I had inherited condition as my Gma had congestive heart and had lots of trouble with swollen legs and fluids/electrolytes being off.... in the end she had to regulate all beverages and salts and yes, it did finally do her in, as her body no longer could regulate cell water/salt ratio etc. The night sweats (and even sometimes day sweats) must deplete us of fluids and salt... and I do see it must be a job for the body to balance it.... I used to drink a lot of gatorade (before I got this sick) and now i cannot touch it due to the (((what I call))) salt factor in gatorade and the resulting water retention..... SOOOO my salt and water levels are like a YO-YO. IS THERE a specific test to request to screen for salt levels? or is it just a electrolyte test? Isn't potassium levels very intertwined with the salt/water balance equation?? I think my Grams potassium was also something had to be balanced. My son had ended up in the hospital several times due to what they determine is dehydration.... both as a child and an adult..... he dehydrates very quickly and ends up on his deathbed, once woke up and was paralyzed could not even move.... ambulance had to get him, he truly thought he somehow BROKE HIS NECK IN HIS SLEEP and was paralyzed from the neck down, that is how severe it was, with no other warnings beforehand! So he has been told that balancing his endocrine system/electrolytes is very important for him as he is sensitive to it.... BUT anyway I never thought too much about the salt thing from a lyme perspective.... interesting. SO what does one do to get it all balanced again if we do not have free access to saline IV when we feel we want some?? LOLOL.

What you want is organic sodium which is COMPLETELY different (comes from plants, which is the intended way)! Celtic sea salt, never table salt (sodium chloride, chemical). Sea salt can be purchased from a health food store or call 800-867-7258, the Grain and Salt Society (I have no affiliation with them whatsoever). Keep in mind that adrenal weakness (which is every lymie out there....) can cause low blood pressure.

Salt (as well as all electrolytes) is an absolute necessity. *What relationship does salt or electrolytes have with the adrenal gland? Is that what you mean? Mine is very close to bottom and I take small doses of cortef. Fatigue is awful so I end up eating for energy (junk) and drinking caffeine (bad) to take care of my family and the daily needs of a 2 yr-old. My blood pressure has always been low and I crave lots of salt. Anyone have adrenal gland issues and have found something that helps in diet or otherwise?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 , With my son he was not looking for the salt so much as the iodine that was in it...Iodine is very important for the Thyroid to function right and is blocked by fluoride so as you child gets older and starts to use toothpaste this could trigger the start of this problem?????? ( in my notes you could read the thread at the group ABMD # 32856, 32497 and 29446) lots of parents give there children epsom salt baths to help with sultate problems in are children?????? http://www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm so salt would draw water to it or take it away from the cells in the body and I have read papers on how mice would die when not give salt - so here is the question what is really going on? and why? My son was a salt craver and still is some days Kelp and the home self test with iodine tincture helped me determine what was going on.- he is still very alkaline with yellow stool for the most part even though I supplement in ox bile and B. bifidum to help with this... so really I don't have it all figured out yet myself... I hope this can point you to the answers... My 2 Cents Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Joyce, some sea salts are not processed properly, which means they will be more white and not moist. The grey color is natural for some good sea salts, but Himalayan sea salt is good too and it is pink. Bee > Okay, the Pacific salt that I have is very fine and white.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I retain fluid from table salt too but only when I eat processed foods and not stay on the diet. When I started taking the lemon water with salt it helped to get rid of the swelling (swelling in the legs, feet and arms). As long as I drink this lemon water with salt it really helps flush it out. Betty [ ] Salt Won't I retain water if I use 1/4 tsp sea salt 6 times in a day in addition to adding it to the foods I eat? I am confused, but I am very sensitive to salt (fingers, legs swell).

Good ocean sea salt actually helps balance the body's electrolytes and water, and it also helps maintain normal blood pressure as well. See the article in the files on Salt.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Sounds like a weak heart/kidneys. You should check into possibly having congestive heart failure. An 8-week kidney cleanse would benefit both your kidneys and your heart and especially someone prone to edema. Try sweating out a lot of the extra water in a sauna. This will also help detoxify you as the skin is the largest detoxifying organ. Always start something new slowly.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The USDA recommends about 2400 mg. sodium per day and Celtic Sea Salt contains 460 mg. sodium per 1/4 tsp. That works out to about 1-1/4 tsp per day. If that is the only source of sodium (which is unlikely) it would take care of our sodium requirements. Regular salt contains 2400 mg. sodium per teaspoonful. The difference in amounts is most likely due to the water in sea salt. In my opinion, dissolved salt is a whole lot different than dry salt. I think salt water is rather good. But I dissolve it in hot water and wait until it cools a bit before I drink it. I prefer sea salt because it has a milder taste. I used to do that for hot flashes and it stopped them every time. I would drink a tall glass of salt water and another one of sugar water. I guess it restored my electrolytes. My mother used to drink a quart of salt water every morning - said it was to flush out toxins when she had mastoid (an ear infection).

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Dirk, Experiment and use as much as appeals to you tastewise. Kraut and Kimchi do not require salt, though I find some salt to help balance flavor. No salt tastes unappealing. I usually use about 1/3 - 1/2 the standard recommended teaspoon per pint of salt. I don't use coarse salt. Though not for any particular reason. Let us know what salt amounts work best for you when you get there. Tonio Hi guys! By now, I have read so many different opinions on how much salt to add to kraut/kimchi. What's your opinion? How accurate do I need to be?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Coarse salt is fine, well, it's coarse, but fine to use. Usually you need more coarse salt by volume because of more air space between the larger salt crystals. I rarely use salt in anything, so my taste is very different. So for you the recommended amount of salt is probably just about right, tastewise. As I find it too salty for me. We are all different. Isn't it wonderful?!! Tonio Ok. I actually have coarse salt.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I usually go with 3TBS salt per 5 pounds of cabbage, which I think is pretty standard for a moderately salty kraut. If you use coarse salt, I think you go with 1.5X that (4.5 TBS). I use a coarse Celtic salt and I usually just throw in a bit more. There's quite a bit of leeway for taste, but more salt will slow things down and less salt will speed things up. Of course, a VERY salty mix might not ferment too well... After a while you can just eyeball it. -------------- Original message -------------- From: " Dirk Coetsee " <dirk.coetsee@...> > Ok. I actually have coarse salt.
