Isn't salt dangerous/bad for you?

[Guest guest]

I am on week 9 of t3 only. Taking 75 mcg t3. I don't have updated labwork but I

think the reason my pulse is constently high - 100bpm (sometimes a bit higher or

a bit lower) is low sodium ,cause that brought my pulse down when I tried it

once. I will do blood test next week but in the meantime -

I read in some health magazines that taking too much salt is bad for you and

that many people are trying to reduce the amount of salt in thier meals. You

guys usually advise to take salt when the sodium is in range but mid-low. I

wonder - how can you tell if the salt doesn't do you any damage? like for the

kidneys for example? Aren't you afraid for the risks off too much salt? All the

world is trying to reduce salt consumption and you guys pump up salt like there

is no tomorow...

It was written in the magazines that the recommanded amount of salt per day is

about 1 teaspoon. So if I will take another teaspoon I will propably bouble mu

salt intake, and that scares me a bit.

How can I know that I am not aoverbarring my kidnies with salt?

Thanks

It is not kidneys that they are lowering salt for but BLOOD pRESSURE,

when in fact I believe it si more plow potassium thta is causing BP

issues. Salt will not hurt yuor kidneys and in fact your adrenals depend

on salt as does your heart.

Read this site for a better explanation of the differnce between

UNREFINED sea salt and Table salt. There is a huge part of the problem.

I use sea salt, but I don't go overboard. I find that I need less sea salt than I used to need

of regular salt. However, my question is about electrolytes.

I take 1000 mgs of magnesium divided, I don't restrict sodium, but can't really measure

everything. I don't know how much potassium is a correct dose with the amount of magnesium I'm taking. The magnesium was advised for me by one of my cardiologists for help with atrial fibrillation.

Great. Thank you.

I will be very glad if some of the group members could share thier 'salt

experience' with me. I am especially interested reading about benefits and

losses that accompany the incresed salt intake.

T3 is what wil help most with A-Fib. It is actually being used now in

coronary byoass surgeries to prevent A-fib which routinely occurs after

this surgery.

When I started Sea salt I had been on a NO salt diet per my doctor for

abotu 2 years. During this time my BPO was soaring. In spite of four BP

meds I was holding at 245/148 for tjhose two years, thne I read that

site about the benefits of sea salt. SO i took a deep breath and tried

it. The first week with 1tsp a day my BP dropped. My fluid reteniton

started lowering and I could breathe better. I had congestive heart

failure at that poitn and had been given 2 years tops to live, so I had

nothing to lose wiht experimenting. LOW SALT was one of the things that

was killing me. I woulrked my way up to 3 tsp a day of sea salt as I

healed adrenals and then once I was able to heal my adnrelas and come

off HC I stopped needing the salt so have since stopped it except abotu

an extra tsp a day and what I use LIBERALLY on foods. Between Armoru and

sea salt they saved my life. But I was left with he hoirrid RT3 issue

which I am certian was started form that time as well as my ENDO had

continually raised my Syncrap to 500mcg a dya. Then telling me thyrid

had nothign to do with my other health issues when ity wa the CAUSE of

them. Today I am thankful for the CHF a withotu that desperation I would

not have started studyign all this and eben able to help SO many others

with similar problems.

Well, there is salt, and then there is salt.The salt that is cautioned against is refined table salt, which is only sodium chloride and additives to help it pour, and iodine if it is iodized. It is probably a good idea to avoid this.Celtic Sea Salt, on the other hand, is more like a mineral supplement. I think I remember that it contains 158 minerals, of which sodium is only one.When I first got sick, I lost my voice and felt like the barely walking dead. When a doctor finally looked at my vocal cords, the right one was partially eaten away by fungus. (I later tested positive for systemic Candida.). I took medicine for the fungus, but the vocal cord didn't heal. A specialist suggested a medication which caused my tissues to retain water. My vocal cords healed.This was when I realized that I was dehydrated internally, and drinking water had no affect. I drink salt water now, and salt my food liberally. I no longer pee out every drop of liquid Immediately! When I read that adrenals need salt to function was also when I began to learn about my own adrenal fatigue. So for me, salt is a life saver. I keep well supplied just like I do cynomel and HC!Ann Sent from my iPadOn Jul 1, 2010,
