Re: Sea Salt... does it affect sodium level?

[Guest guest]

mine was from a hair analysis - it was 1000 with a reference range of 24-180!

[Guest guest]

It could just be badly deranged from mercury poisoning also.

iodized sea salt or not. I didn't know what to get, so I bought both.<<

It is VERY important to get GOOD unrefined Sea Salt. I take ALOT of it and it is

well worth the price a half pound lasts me about 2 months.

What was your sodium levels? It is extremely rare for someone with adrenal

fatigue to have high sodium. But if your is over midrange on blood work I would

not worry about taking it.

I just started taking 1/4 teaspoon in the morning. How do you know how much to

take?

I take it by taste. As long as it is tasting good and you don't go YUCK

every time you drink it, it is not too much. I also get horrid muscle

cramps if I am not taking enough.

You said:

Is sea salt something that I should be buying at only either one of these

stores, or is the quality less of a concern?

Sammie,

You need Natural Salt. Iodized Sea Salt has been processed and bleached

(blech).

Natural Salt contains other minerals besides sodium. I know of Redmond (aka

" Real Salt " ), Celtic, and Himalayan.

I have no idea how accurate a hair analysis would be for sodium, but I would be

you are not high with adrenal fatigue.

Have you tried it in a glass of Orange Juice? I LOVE it! I drink a tsp morning

and night in orange juice. But I lose salt badly.. Most folks just need 1/4 TSP

am & PM.

Hey Carolyn,

I can't back this up with scientific research, but since I started

using the sea salt (on my food and cooking with it)(And I think I use

more than I did of the regular stuff) my sodium level dropped from

teetering at the top edge, to low middle... Again, I can't say I did

a thorough scientific study.... but... good luck

Hi, when I first started to try the salt I did not understand that there

is a HUGE difference between Celtic sea salt and refined so called sea

salt. I almost gave up it tasted so gross and gave me a headache. But

after trying Celtic sea salt in water and using enough to taste good(for

me using too little in too much water made me gag) I have to say that I

really like the sea salt water. I do not like it in juice or anything

else. If your salt is white it is not Celtic salt it is refined!! Please

try some good Celtic salt and try varying the amount of water you use

and just make it to taste. I think you will like it. Or maybe you would

like yours in OJ? I use about a tablespoon a day but I know that is more

than most people here.

Lynn,

Thank you for responding.

My Potassium is 220 and my Magnesium is 160. Na/K is 4.55 (reference range is

..5 - 10)and my Na/MG ( think that would be sodium/Magnesium or 1000/160 or

6.25. I don't know what that reference range should be).

Any insight you have into this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Carolyn,

Mercury toxicity can affect sodium results on hair analysis, as can

imbalances in other minerals. See

http://www.drlwilson.com/Articles/Adrenal%20192.htm. It's also important to

know what your sodium reading is in relationship to potassium and to

magnesium. What are your Na/K and Na/Mg ratios compared to the normal

ranges for those ratios?

You may have sodium wasting. High sodium levels in the hair do not mean you

have high sodium levels in your blood, and it doesn't necessarily mean that

you wouldn't benefit from additional sea salt.

Drat, can't find my hair analysis book, so I can't research your results.

DDI washes their hair samples and the water-soluble minerals, sodium and

potassium, are unpredictably removed. They do caution that the sodium and

potassium values can be erratic and the values are unreliable. So it's hard

to know how significant your results are. Your potassium is sky-high along

with your sodium, so your NaK ratio looks mid-range, which is good. If

anything, you might be in the second stage of adrenal trouble, just before

adrenal exhaustion, because potassium and sodium both jump up as the

adrenals make a last ditch effort to try and meet the body's needs. I

suspect that celtic sea salt would only help you.

According to my canary club results I am in adrenal fatigue - stage 7. I

showed depressed in every test and my dhea was <1.

[Guest guest]

I have a high sodium reading in blood tests. It has been creeping up

over the year and is now just below the top reference range. I have

severe adrenal fatigue, and take a replacement dose of pred and HC

every day.

Because of my sodium reading I have been holding off taking sea salt,

but have found it helpful recently in the hot weather.
