Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have also heard that aluminium is not good and that there is a link with Alzheimers. It is prevalent in most deodorants. In fact it is difficult to find one that does not have it as an active ingredient. On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 11:12 PM, Chuck B <gumboyaya@...> wrote: > > > Roni Molin wrote: > > > > > > Interesting.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Dr. Mercola says if you are looking for a natural deodorant not to get the crystal kind because it's not good for you either. I have no idea if he's right or wrong. I do use regular deodorant. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 What are you disagreeing with ??? My assertion that I would rather avoid adding to the unavoidable natural radiation or are you saying you believe radiation is ok in small doses ...radiation accummulates doesn't it, never goes away ...each x-ray adds to the load so I would prefer to NOT add to the load I already have. Maybe you are disagreeing with something else, so sorry if I've misunderstood you. > Aluminum toxicity is slippery. Like calcium, and a number of other minerals, the amount that goes in your mouth does not seem correlated with the hazard. Rather, it is what your body does with it that matters.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 You can avoid the visual portion of the em radiation by going into a closed room and installing heavy blinds and turning out all the lights. You will be in 100% darkness and will be avoiding some avoidable radiation. But IMHO there will be no health benefits and there will be a lot of inconveniences. You can avoid any direct sunlight [which is 100% radiation] but then you'll have to take more vitamin D. SOME radiation should be limited or avoided; other is beneficial. Without the radiation from the sun we would all die, so it is confusing to lump excessive X-rays with sunlight. I see now you didn't mean ALL radiation; you mean potentially harmful radiation. .. .. > > Posted by: " Trish " fielddot@... > <mailto:fielddot@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Salt> trishruk > <trishruk> > > > Sat Feb 20, 2010 12:52 am (PST) > > > > > > Sorry , thought it would be obvious I was talkking about > AVOIDABLE radiation (x-rays for exmaple) > > > > > > Radiation is rather a broad term, and some of it certainly is to be > > avoided or limited.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 , What are your thoughts on low-dose radiation and it's healing claims?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I would not knowingly add more radiation than is already inherent in the appliances that are in my home or the xrays that I absolutely have to have, or the backround radiation from the sun. <>Roni Immortality exists!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Quackery. Some radiation [a healthy level of sunlight] is beneficial; some [X-rays and stronger] can be harmful or even fatal. Anyone trying to sell you low dose radiation rocks for health reasons hopes you have a few rocks in your head. .. .. > > Posted by: " marysugrue " marysugrue@... > <mailto:marysugrue@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Salt> marysugrue > <marysugrue> > > > Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:30 pm (PST) > > > > , > What are your thoughts on low-dose radiation and it's healing claims? > Just curious since I read up on a site that sells low dose radiation > rocks. > > > > > > Radiation is rather a broad term, and some of it certainly is to be > > avoided or limited.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I fully concur with that. Purposeful radiation that is not ABSOLUTELY necessary is a terrible thing to do to your body. It stays with you and accumulates. It could eventually cause cancer. Don't do it.. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Aluminum is also present in almost every food. It is the MAIN ingredient in a number of antacid products. If it were truly as toxic as described, people taking those otc antacids should suffer immediate dementia. However, there appears to be NO connection between Alzheimer's and dietary aluminum. Instead, the nerve degeneration process somehow collects aluminum even from nominal tissue levels. The disease is connected to what the nerves do with aluminum, not to how much we ingest.

I have no idea if > he's right or wrong. I do use regular deodorant. Aluminum compounds are in the antiperspirants. If you get plain deodorant, without antiperspirant, it should not have aluminum in it. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It attacks other things first, which is why high aluminum levels are considered a symptom of renal failure, not the other way around. They do tell people with kidney problems to avoid the aluminum antacids. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hello Angie, The important thing about sea salt is its mineral content. See here for Bee's guidelines on the subject: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php (scroll down to Minerals) Both Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan are very good and are recommended on this program. I have purchased my Celtic Sea Salt directly from the Grain & Salt Society (link on page above). Their service and delivery are excellent. I placed my first order with Saltworks last week for Himalayan Pink, so I cannot report on that yet. One of our members, Pam M, I believe, has experience with Saltworks and recommends them. She posted not too long ago; you can do a search of recent messages. Hope that helps, andra, a group moderator Hello, I would like to know if anyone has purchased the celtic sea salt or the the hymilian sea salt from Saltworks. Just want to make sure they have good quality salt. Thank you for your reply, Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi Bee; I bought this Himalayn pink salt (why is it pink!) that say's it contains all the minerals of the body, also I have Celtic grey Sea Salt. Which do you prefer and why. Thanks; Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which do you prefer and why. +++Hi Jeanne, I don't have any preference since they both contain over 84 minerals your body needs. That combination of minerals is exactly like your tears. I've been getting a good grey moist large crystal ocean sea salt, which indicates the most minerals, from the same area in Brittany, France, that is a lot cheaper than Celtic or Himalayan: http://www.thehealingcanopy.com/_product_52066/Le_Paludier_%E2%80%93_Organic_Unr\ efined_Coarse_Grey_Sea_Salt_1kg It is available at local health stores and online.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 > > Hi Bee, > > Hope that your having a brilliant day today. I wanted to ask you about Salt. I live in Europe (Germany). I was wondering if Himalayan Salt is good enough to use instead of > Sea salt, because there is numerous of Nature stores here but most of them recommend the Himalayan Salt, so that is what I have been using. Just wondering if that is ok. +++Hi Carol, Thanks. My day is good so far. Recently I discovered that Himalayan salt is not actually from the Himalayan mountain region and it also is not a sea salt, since it is made from rocks in Pakistan - see Himalaya Salt: http://www.poisonfluoride.com/pfpc/html/himalaya.html " Over the last few years a new scam has emerged in Europe which is rapidly spreading across the world. It involves ordinary rock salt from the " salt range " in Pakistan being marketed as luxurious and healing " Himalaya Salt " . It is also sold as " Himalayan Crystal Salt, " " Hunza-Kristallsalz " or natural " Kristallsalz, " " VitaSal, " " AromaLife, " etc. The scam is currently being introduced in India and the United States. " Read the rest of the article. So I will not be recommending any kind of Himalayan salt any longer. Shucks, that's another piece of bad advice I got from Dr. Mercola. Instead I'll only be recommending: 1) Light Gray Celtic sea salt which is available at many health stores or through my website ad at Selina Naturally: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/selina.php OR 2) Light gray sea salt from the shores of Brittany, France. Be sure to get the light gray crystals because it contains more minerals than fine grind, etc. - if you go to the link at Selina Naturally above you will see a photo of them. You should use them moist, and if you want to grind them you should do it just before using them. They cannot be ground up in regular salt grinders since they are too moist - there are special grinders but they can be expensive. You can grind them in a coffee grinder, but ensure it is cleaned and dried out well otherwise it will cause rusting. Or use a mortar and pestle.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Kyocera makes a ceramic salt grinder that is pretty good for the moist sea salt crystals. It's available on Amazon for about $17. And if you go though the Amazon link on Bee's website, she gets a little credit for your purchase.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi , Where do you buy your salt? Asian grocery? On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 2:10 AM, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Some of it is from the Asian grocery. Sometimes I use kosher salt from the grocery store. Sometimes I use plain ol' Mortons. Sometimes I use unrefined " ancient seas " salt from the health food store (http://www.realsalt.com). My family likes that one the best. I'm just not a salt connoisseur though. I can't tell all that much difference. OTOH homegrown vegies taste way different to me than store-bought ones (organic or otherwise). So I put work into vegies, not much into salt.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks . I found " Morton Canning & Pickling Salt, plain salt, nothing added " at Walmart. It's in a green 4 lb box. I tasted my current batch again tonight. It's really good. There is a very obvious tang to it now (day 7). I bought some Kerr 1 qt jars. I plan to move it to the jars and refrigerate by this weekend.
