Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hi Bee Hit the infrared sauna last night at the invitation of a friend. I was alarmed that I did not sweat until a few drops at the very end. I sweat like a sprinkler historically during the summer months by just stepping out in the sun on a hot day as well as workouts anytime. For the record, I don't use the sauna on a regular basis as I know that it is not recommended but I am concerned about the no sweat. I am starting on week 7 of diet Thanks.

When you aren't sweating like you should take ocean sea salt. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I sprinkle himalyan salt liberally on every meal since starting your diet. Usage may be a touch shy of your recommended 1 1/2 tsp. I remember water pouring out of me last July during hot weather. Maybe the humidity has something to do with it but other than that I'm a pretty salty guy -). I have not done my nordic track exercises since starting your diet so it seems that my sweat storage tank should be full and ready to leak out. One thing that I just thought of is that even though I eat more salt with meals now I am no longer eating large amounts from salty snacks. Anyway if you have any other ideas I would appreciate hearing. Hope my adrenals or something like that are not exhausted. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 My body temp runs quite low in general due to allergies and candida die off rxns. I have a far infrared sauna and sometimes it takes me a long time to work up a sweat. Could be low body temp due to one of these things? I sweat more if i sit with my head inside the suana too, for some reason. I eat a lot of pink mineral salt, so a deficiency in that should not be my problem. > > > > > > Hi Bee > > > > > > Hit the infrared sauna last night at the invitation of a friend.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 > > Bee, I have been using Hendel's Hymalayan salt +++Hi Norm, I'm not familiar with that kind of Himalayan sea salt. Does it contain over 84 minerals, and isn't bleached, etc.? Did you take it when you were not able to sweat in the sauna? Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Bee Your questions about babara hendel salt caused me to look at the label where I don't see a specific reference to 84 or any other number of minerals. (I should also point out that neither does celtic sea salt make claims about 84 minerals on their label) In any event it does not contain any additives. I came across an article which is highly critical of the salt and says that beneficial claims about trace minerals can't be proven in the lab. http://52tweaks.co.nz/2010/02/28/with-a-grain-of-himalayan-salt/ I became interested in this salt when dr mercola interviewed her which I took as his endorsement- see link below. I called his office and the rep told me that dr mercola endorses but does not sell the product. He further said that hendel salt is same as the himalayan salt that mercola does sell on site. I guess I will research further to see if I should switch over to celtic sea salt even though I just bot 35 oz. I would think that hendel himalayan salt would be same as any other himalayan salt that you recommend. Would you agree? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxmvYRQsxMg > > > > Bee, I have been using Hendel's Hymalayan salt > > +++Hi Norm, > > I'm not familiar with that kind of Himalayan sea salt.

I have the independent laboratory analysis for them and they do contain over 84 minerals, including iodine. > I became interested in this salt when dr mercola interviewed her which I took as his endorsement- see link below.
