Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Morning John, Tracy, Alobar, and other salt Lovers and haters, >This is very controversial. Yes, " sodium " is necessary for numerous body >processes. The questions are: what kind of salt, and how much? It is also >believed that some people are more or less " salt sensitive " than others. The problem clearly stated is half solved. Now if we could get the other half of the solution. Even for the ones who have escaped the controversy, we still suffer from a bit of confusion. About two years ago when I started drinking more water, two different nurses told me that I had better be careful, else I would wash all the sodium out of my system. My blood analysis has proven that to be wrong as my sodium has remained virtually constant over the same period. Very near the top, ranging from 138 to 148. We have to acknowledge that the different diets some follow will provide much less sodium than others. The more fresh raw food, nuts, trailmix, ect, should provide less salt than the diets that include lots of processed foods, canned foods, and man made foods. Over the years, I have used much less salt than most people I associate with. At present, I weigh out 2000 mg of sea salt, put it into small plastic vials with a screw on top, and keep this in my pocket. I keep these containers in my truck, my range box, on my desk, and always have a few within reach. I seldom ever use the full 2000 mg in one day. Salt is an amazing compound. If I feel a little bad for any reason, salt makes me feel better within minutes, if not within seconds. I think ingesting these small amounts make instant changes in blood electrolytes. Rarely do I have pressure in my eyes, but when I do, about 10 to 20 mg will relieve the pressure within seconds. Anything that will make favorable changes, quickly, can't be all bad. I do feel that the American public has been brainwashed relative to the facts about salt. Even Adelle Davis had similar ideas about salt, especially relative to glaucoma. She stated that every person who had glaucoma noticed improvement when salt was added to the diet. In addition, I feel many people limit their intake of salt without any facts or justification for doing so. I have found a few guinea pigs to test certain ideas. Here is the best proof that salt and water does in fact accomplish miracles for some people. http://www.fugitt.com/blood/female48.jpg The changes are for a 60 day period. She stated that the only thing she did different during this period was to use salt and water. She measured the salt and the water very accurately and did in fact use the measured amount per day. This person had major problems in times past with triglyceride levels over 2000. She sent my all her labwork since 1996. She was a diabetic as well. I think that is history also. This is a highly disciplined person. The changes she accomplished should be an inspiration to all of us to work hard at whatever program we decide upon. The unfortunate thing, is after this test, her doctor would not talk to her. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
