Britney Murphy’s death was a shock, and unfortunately when we hear of deaths of actors
our minds rush to judgement regarding drug use
as it seems to happen so often. There’s so much information available about not mixing over the counter drugs with prescription drugs and/or natural medicines. I keep her family in my pray-
ers.

I was extremely surprised about the sea salt
reality check! I was told by a health food
store that sea salt was better because of the
added minerals and calcium. Thanks for the
info…I appreciate you getting to the REAL
truth for all of us.

Yes I know sea salt has as much sodium as table salt because the only difference I’m aware of is that table salt is made by stripping the trace minerals from sea salt. Consider tho that trace minerals are not at trace levels when the business is carried out at the usual gargantuan corepirate scale. I believe the only reason they replace some iodine is so our thyroids don’t scream bloody murder.

Then “Medical accidents” are not so accidental when over-the-counter drugs are not involved, and they’re not so uncommon either. Deaths, or worsened illness from medical treatment is called “IATROGENIC”. There are about 300,000 iatrogenic deaths in the US per year, last I looked. They probably don’t include that which can be easily denied. Disease “ETIOLOGY” is the traced path of illness development. Symptoms complicate by the side effects of pharmaceuticals whipping up other symptoms rationalizing yet another prescription & so on downward into terminal illness. So the system is rife with etiological denial. Then notice how they don’t bother looking at epidemiological studies, due to inconvenience by how much & how graphically they show reality.

I take a mineral supplement called CMD (concentrated mineral drops) from the Great Salt Lake of Utah. Harvested from the north shore of the lake, the drops are stripped of sodium and contain only trace minerals. Have you guys heard of this product and if so what do you think of its quality? supposedly up to 75 trace minerals in there including the important magnesium, pottasium, and hopefully zinc and calcium…

Also there is another similar product sold here in the Philippines made by the Israelis and produced from the Dead sea…

Hi Kevin

I am not sure if you put all the perspective on the salt issues. I read that processed table salt will push your BP up but not the sea/rock/celtic salt as it is not processed and has the digestability factors in there plus the trace minerals etc,…Also using Kelp/Dulse flakes as salt would not push up PB either as thier levels of sodium were about 1/3? if I remeber right.

I have tried the difference and my head says do not ever have processed salt in any chips eg,. as I will get a headache 10 minutes later from eating 2 mouthfuls of chips alone.

There were studies that Wild Oats put out in their literature a few years ago that proved the sea salt did not push BP up.

This is not a cart blanche to add what ever amount of salt you want–but you should still keep it low as long as there are no unwanted effects.

Just watched the carrot show that is so funny.

Wow, many cool replies.
I’m back to the intuition. I’ve been ‘off salt’ for at least 10 year. I consume it but make an effort not to. When I don’t, I have bionic energy and at 36m, never had any joint or muscle problems-and I’m an athlete and avid worker outer. I’m a hummus junky so that’s where my salt allowance comes in, but 97% of what I eat has no salt. When I eat too much of it, I am legthargic and feel terrible. So, I listen to the body. MY BODY SAYS NO TO SALT. Even when I sweat buckets in my summer workouts. When you cut it out, you begin to taste sodium in greens like chard and collards. You begin to crave sea veggies. I take marine phytoplankton when minerals are low. I have yet to explore the science behind what Dr. Young talks about in tissue salts.

kevin, salt is very important for our bodies, the problem with most people is they do not drink enough water to keep their water and salt balanced. Water carries salt out of the body, so we need to drink half our body weight in ounces of water to keep the water/salt ratio in balance. I have been doing this for some time and have had no problems whats so ever. I agree that we should not over do it with salt, but at the same time our bodies need salt so it can function properly. People who get edema from salt don’t drink enough water. Their bodies go into drought mode and start to hold water, its not the salt its the lack of water in their systems. Water is KING.
