Re: Abrahams on bromide clearance with salt

[Guest guest]

what is ammonium chloride? where does one get it?

Here's a bit more from AbrahamsLynnhttp://www.townsendletter.com/Oct2005/gabyrebuttal1005.htmTo be discussed later, in cases of increased mobilization of bromide from storage sites by orthoiodosupplementation and elevated serum bromide levels high enough to cause bromism, the administration of sodium chloride (6-10 gm/day) increases the renal clearance of bromide by 10 fold and minimizes the side effects of bromism. If orthoiodosupplementation results in elevated urine lead levels, together with increased bromide, ammonium chloride is preferable to sodium chloride since it is the chloride that increases renal clearance of bromide. The ammonium is metabolized to urea and has an acidifying effect, which increases renal clearance of lead also.

I don't know much about ammonium chloride, so maybe someone else can

check it out, but I would be VERY wary of Metabolic Acidosis. A

medication gave it to me once and I nearly died. It leached my bones,

gave me kidney stones called staghorns because of their large size and

appearance, and I nearly lost a kidney after weeks of agony. Took

nearly 6 months to recuperate. That's not to even begin mentioning

the Neurologic problems and autonomic dysfunction that about did me

in. Making your body acidic is not something to be taken lightly. My

doc did, and this was the result of only a couple weeks treatment for me.

I'm just wondering if sometimes slow and steady isn't the best way to

go on this. This is all incredibly interesting to me tho...

-----> Not recommending an acidifier at all! Although I do think some

people need to be more acidic than others. I'm one of those that

function better when I've gotten more meat in me and my body is

slightly on the acidic side. So prehaps this also ties into the mystery.

I agree...at this point I'm all for slow and steady.
