Salt

[Skybird]

I hope some of you can take benefit from this. Want to point your attention to salt, since I made so dramatically good experiences with it this year.



I red his book (in English, when I was finished I learned that it already was available in German...).

Boosting my salt consummation was one of the best things for my health I ever did, I have cleared/abandoned now two medical drugs I took before, and lowered the dose of two others by one half, while maintaining good health parameters (namely blood pressure) and even fundamentally improved one very signficiantly (lowering heart rate from insane levels to normal ones: for the first time ever in my life). Problems with ongoing degradation of my neural system also have slowed down. The reductions in meds may not be exclusively to salt reduction (but due to other supplementations I take), though the drop in heart rate most likely is.

Listen to the man, and read his book on salt, "The Salt Fix". He has done his homework, really, 50 of the 250 pages are nothign but sources for studies and articles formt he past 100 years (not quotes, just the sources...). Very thorough analysis of the literature and research done on salt since 1904. BE READY TO BE SHOCKED.

DiNicolantonio is cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy. He works at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, has authored over 200 scientific articles, is senior editor to BMJ's Open Heart Journal, and a much asked-for nutrition expert, namely on sugar and salt.

I know that what he says - by full 180° the opposite of what you have been told all your life about how healthy low salt is - must feel wrong and counter-intuitive to you, necessarily. Myself, I never cared for salt limitation, but I now add an extra salt boost to my breakfast of 3-4 grams. My blood pressure stayed low where it was, but I could halve the doses of two blood pressure drugs and abandoned the third. My heart rate is down from insane levels to now nroaml levels - for the first tiem ever in my life. I should have known about the salt fix 25 years ago when I travelled those hot countries - the heat really gave me hell, the sweat production and loss of ie rlas was sometimes threatenign to me. I am certain that with the kowledge I have now and the nutritional status I have now, I would stand it much better, the heat and the extreme sweating and dehydration. The fundamentla thirst wa snot so much a cravign for water - but a craving for salt, I now know. Sounds coutner-intuitive? Read the book, it makes perfect sense. The more I drankl the more thirst I had. Because I did not drank salty fluids (not too salty fluids, of course, with only ocean water alone you still do not get too far...) Well, you can read it yourself.

Low salt makes you sick. Low salt sends you to an earlier grave. Deal with it: we all and you have been lied to all our lives long. (Its not the only food lie, I tell you). The book is a well-researched revelation of how criminally abused science can be run, manipulative and data-corrupting. The methodology of it is beyond question - in honest hands. Those who want to abuse it, will find it easy to do so, however, and he history of Salt Wars is filled with dark Sith lords. And of course the sugar industry also pays a dominant role in the demonisation of salt, to distract from the really dangerous white crystal that there is: not salt, but refined sugar.

Before you stand up and just claim that DiNicolantonio all got it wrong, make sure you can even qualify to meet him on his knowledge level. Chances are you can't. He got his homework done, really.
Have a loose hand with the shaker, if your body signals you by appetit for salt that he wants it. Feel no regret. And enjoy the great taste! We are creatures of the ocean, from the ocean, we carry the ocean within us, including its salts and iodine. Our organ's design - kidney and liver especially - reflect the need to adapt from the salt- and iodine-rich maritime environment to the salt- and iodine-dry desert that life on lands means for us. Our bodies react to the salt and iodine in the air when we are close to a beach, or by the sea. We benefit from it. We even sent our ill and our kids to vaccation homes at the North Sea for that reason: "because the climate is so healthy!"

I have now begun to read his book on oil and fat. I am already perplexed again. After 15 pages.

A brief summary of some very major, relevant points for those understanding German, with ten minutes it also is the much shorter video. I think I linked it in the Wuhan thread before, or at least I planned to do it. Its an excerpt from a congress lecture where he talks just about salt. Should make you think if you believe you know that low salt is good and more salt is unhealthy.



The ordinary doctor not having learned on nutrition beyond university's curriculum, most likely will not know all this, and stick to an old, and wrong!!!, paradigm that bases on manipulated science and lies. Dont take such a doctor's word as holy gospel. Listen to what he has to say and then check back how the high-salt-school does answer to his concerns. Then decide. But do not just blindly trust your doc on this. If all he knows about it is what they told him when he studied medicine, he cannot and he will not know this.


If you get hit by hunger attacks for sweets, eat salty stuff. I can confirm from own experience now that if you drive up your salt supply, your appetite for "sweet" goes down, and disappears. That is because salt, sugar and drugs like cocaine and heroine all run by and get influenced through one and the same reward system in the brain. If you are low on salt, your internal salt detector turns more sensitive by turning on the reward system so that you get motivated to search for salt , and since you deny yourself salt intake, it instead takes sugar and drugs as prey, and you start dreaming of gettin g that chocolate bar, no matter what.... And from there on you go into a vicious circle. This already starts in your mothers womb, when she is running a low salt food regime - and by that programs your reward centre to crave for surrogate drugs later in your life when you got born! Sugar. Cocaine. Heroine. Its all the same neural mechanisms in the brain, its all the same brain structures getting active here. Thats why so many pregnant women report to have times when they almost desperately crave for salty taste.
