Guest guest Posted February 26, 2000 Report Share Posted February 26, 2000 Kristilee: Sea salt is highly washed and generally heated so that all it contains is sodium chloride. Look for celtic salt or sea weed / kelp powder which does have iodine in it. I've not seen any charts denoting how much iodine they contain. I always suggest to people that after their thyroid has been restored to normal by using Thyrodine, that they use kelp on their food to maintain that function. Best wishes, Earl sea salt? From: Kristilee Helmick <kristilee1@...> I figure someone on this list should be able to answer my question as to whether or not sea salt contains iodine?? And if so, is there any way to tell approximately how much? thanks, Kristilee **************************************************************************** **** MotherWise - Natural, Earth-Friendly, and Alternative Products for Pregnancy, Birth, Baby, Breastfeeding, and Beyond!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 It looks that way because it is natural , not refined, you are seeing the minerals in natural salt, it is not dirty. Sea Salt? Is Redmond's Sea salt a preferred sea salt? It is dirty looking.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm not Bee but I'm pretty sure you want some color in your sea salt. You know, the reddish brown color. I'm guessing that white = processed or refined. From: cindy_martian <cindy_martian@...> Subject: [ ] Sea Salt?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks jackie, I am sending a link to Swanson's info on the salt. It does have some good hints on the use of sea salt.

If that salt is not an ocean sea salt it isn't the right kind, which would also state that it contains over 84 minerals on the label.

You want a good ocean sea salt that contains over 84 minerals, which will be gray and moist and the larger crystals, OR the Himilayan ocean sea salt which is pink.

It is pink, and Himalayan( I also have one of their printed catalogs with the article) I did not see where it said 84 minerals(just a matrix of essential minerals). I may ask Swanson about it. I will do a search for any specific products you recommend. I try and read every post, but may have missed something. Thanks. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sea salt is great for adding crunch and flavor to foods at the table. I wouldn't want to do without it. However, the nutritional contribution of sea salt is extremely slight, to put it mildly. If you want to avoid the additives of 'table salt", look at kosher salt. It's pure, it's easy to cook with, and it's far, far cheaper than sea salt. I keep a pot of it beside the stove, ready for cooking. The sea salt is in another pot, ready for the table. Here's the first paragraph of the Mayo Clinic's listing on sea salt vs. table salt: "Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value — both mostly consist of two minerals — sodium and chloride. However, sea salt is often marketed as a more natural and healthy alternative. The real differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing, not their chemical makeup." www.mayoclinic.com/health/sea-salt/AN01142 H. -----Original Message----- From: Rosenhart <bigheartdesigns@...> Sent: Mon, Sep 28, 2009 11:27 am Subject: Re: [ ] Sea Salt =) thanks so much on for the sea salt info!! m greenheartdesigns.blogspot.com **fabulous accessories made from recycled materials. projectwarmhug.blogspot.com **a local program that serves local single moms in need. we are one, there is no separation when there is love.... From: gemmal <gemmalocatelliatt (DOT) net> Subject: [ ] Sea Salt =) Date: Monday, September 28, 2009, 5:44 PM Hi group. Someone asked about Sea Salt. I began by just sprinkling unrefined sea salt on my food and as=2 0I would want for taste. My DR said to eat it all day long when I frst started. What SS does is pull moisture into your intestines and helps with eliination. hen you have toxins in your body of any kind they need a way out and SS acts like a catalyst to pull it out. For Bromide detoxing it is pivotal and to reduce anxiety. If you do not have enough SS you will experience more intense detoxing. As it also has other naturally occuring minerals it helps with rehydration. Some people have asked "Well what do you do with all that ater weight?" Well I do not have ater weight and like I said table salt is not SS. But ater holding and water weight is a sign of low potassium. Since Gatorade has nearly no salt and is so lack in hydrating I make my own. Sea salt does not act the same as table salt in the body so if you do a salt loading you actually may lose weight. As it flushes out your system and detoxes you will see increased BM's and increased size.. If you are to compare them it is like comparing Extra Virgin Olive oil and Partially Hyrdogenated Oil.. Both may be oil but are vastly different. I got the following salt loading protocal below off of www.breastcancercho ices.com Iodine users often use the salt-loading protocol to clear bromide detox symptoms. Dr. Shevin presented his* Salt20Loading Protocol at the February '07 Iodine conference: 1/4 teaspoon* salt dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water, then followed immediately with 12-16 oz pure water. Repeat in 30-45 minutes if needed. May repeat again until copious urination begins. .. Observe subjective response (usually within several hours). *Unprocessed sea salt is preferred. Be sure to ask your doctor before implementing this or any medical strategy. *Iodine Investigation Project participants have found 1/2 teaspoon salt dissolved in water works faster than the 1/4 teaspoon dosage. Visit Dr. Shevin on the web at www.drshevin. com I do salt loading sometimes several times a day. I will back off for a few days or week as I feel the need to rest my body from detoxing. But if you have Celiacs or I mean are like me I ould guess you hav toxins weighing on yoru system. I work with my DR to make sure I am always on the right path. =) gem > > tell me more about sea salt. Importance? Amount? > i also find i cant=2 0eat much sugar without feeling really sick.
