Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would be using Sea Salt, but I really don't want to have it in water if my blood sodium lab levels don't indicate that it's necessary.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 , GOOD salt is very necessary for life and especially your adrenal health. I have been taking 1-2 tsp a day of sea slat for 10 years as well as eatign it liberally on my food. My sodium levels are normal still it does not bring them up too high as oyur body is able to properly process sea salt as opposed to regualr salt wiht it's horrid additives.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Sea salt has helped eliminate my fluid retention! I was on a totally salt free diet years ago when I was listening to doctors, LOL, and my legs were SO swollen I was lifting them in & out of my car with my hands as it was to painful to lift them with their strength. I read on a website that when you are dehydrated and LOW in sodium, your body will hold on to all the fluid ti can in an effort to not lose any salt. Give it salt ans it sees you have plenty and it releases the fluid. It worked for me! When I first started sea salt my BP was 248/145.. SCARY to add salt to a body doing that! But I was desperate and dying. Salt and Armour have saved my life. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Val, I'm glad to hear you say this because I know that I too am both dehydrated and need salt. My sodium levels are always " below " reference range. However, here's what's weird " I am never ever thirsty " and have to force myself to even drink one glass of water each day. I don't know how this plays into things and nobody has been able to explain it. Maybe because I'm low in salt my body doesn't crave fluids, or maybe I'm retaining them, I just don't understand it.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Does taking whole unrefined salt such as Celtic Salt, or Redmond Real Salt, take the place of having to supplement with Iodoral or Lugol's?

I don't know how this plays into things and nobody has been able to explain it. << Let me try. I went fro over 20 years not drinking ANY water! I hated it, it even tasted bitter to me. This was sue to my body not wanting to further dilute the low amount of sodium it had.. More water means more dilution if the water/salt ratio. SO it retains what fluid it has, to not LOSE any salt, but makes you dislike water to keep you from diluting the low sodium in the cells. The fluid/salt balance intracellularly is of the utmost importance as this balance called electrolyte balance is what makes the communications between the cells in your body possible. When this balance is not correct, your cells cannot get rid of waste materials or toxins and they build up there causing destruction within the cells. Now that I have been taking sea salt for a long time I crave water! I drink alot every day and it tastes wonderful. If my water starts tasting bitter or bad to me I add sea salt to it and guzzle it down and that ends the problem. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi, I started 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in OJ twice a day.I was able to stop taking my water pill and have lost a couple of pounds.I read that for your potassium and sodium to be balanced you need real salt also that hypos hold water at a cellular level. This could help a lot of people that can't lose weight, alot of that weight could be celular water weight.It's helped me.LOL Debbie In NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS , wrote: > > At first I thought drinking " salt water " was weird, but it is so mildly salty that I find I can drink it first thing in the morning when regular water tastes bad after first waking up. I find, in fact, that I am craving the mildly salty flavor and wanting to drink more water, which is a good thing as I have kidney disease, and need to drink LOTS of water, lol. I also find that I am retaining much less fluid than I used to, yeah! So I will keep it up - I must be needing it. > C. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I was glad to find out how beneficial salt and vitamin c are for hypothyroid and adrenal insufficiency. I am treating my Lyme disease with a salt and vitamin C protocol. I take currently 9 grams of each daily and am about to increase to 12 grams. I have a lot of allergies, and take Allergy Research Group's " Pure Vitamin C " from Cassava Root. It is the only type of vitamin C I can tolerate. I surmise I am at stage six or seven of adrenal insufficiency because I am low in cortisol and DHEA, due to a life time of major stressors both physically and emotioinally. I am mostly self- treating my conditions, and have an extensive lay background in alternative medicine. For the adrenals and thyroid, I am taking both a small dose of HC together with Isocort, Iodoral, Homeopathy, and an herbal protocol. I am trying to keep my combined cortisone supplementation of HC and Isocort at 5 mg - so that my body can continue to effectively deal with the Lyme and co-infections that I have. The salt and vitamin C are really potent antimicrobials, which is wonderful - because probably all of us have some type of infection going on contributing to the compromise of the endocrine system. I enjoy reading the posts and learning from all of you! Blessings, Jnanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
