iodine RE: Sea Salt?

[Guest guest]

Another quick note about salt – most table salt also contains

iodine, which is essential for the thyroid to function. Iodine is a critical

part of the thyroid hormone molecules T3 and T4 which help regulate cell metabolism.

 It was first added to salt many years ago when the lack of sufficient iodine

in diets was discovered to be a common cause of hypothyroidism (which can have

some serious effects, especially in pregnancy).  I agree that sea salt tastes

wonderful and there’s no need to stop using it.  But I don’t think that most sea

salt as marketed contains iodine, so if there’s a choice I’d choose one that

does contain it, or use some of both types.

Best,

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. "

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. =)
