Indicates adrenal problems...

[ ] Mercury poisoning and salt cravings

My daughter (age 5, autism) has been craving salt. I cannot keep

her from it - she will climb to the top of my cupboards to get it.

She will literally eat a whole salt shaker if I don't stop her. I

remember reading something on this board about mercury toxicity &

salt cravings but I cannot recall what it was about & my searches

are futile. Does anyone have any input?

I remember (I don't know whether entirely accurately) that Andy has often said

to let children have the salt and that it might be important in case of adrenal

problems.

So I *think " Andy suggests trying adrenal cortex to help with

this...........is there any problem in adding this and then stopping it later,

or would this

be an on-going supplement.

My son really dumps not only salt but pepper and many other seasonings on

this food. Still trying to figure it out...

check out www.lymephotos.com especially checkout the Vit C AND pure NaCl therapy

discussion.

FWIW, my grandma used to say Sun and Salt will cure anything. Of course she

lived until well into her eighties by avoiding being poisoned by vaccines.

there is a thread at the autism and enzyme group today about salt.

This is what I wrote:

With my son he was not looking for the salt so much as the

iodine that was in it...Iodine is very important for the Thyroid to

function right and is blocked by fluoride so as you child gets older

and starts to use toothpaste this could trigger the start of this

problem?????? ( in my notes you could read the thread at the group

ABMD # 32856, 32497 and 29446)

lots of parents give there children epsom salt baths to help with

sultate problems in are children??????

http://www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm

so salt would draw water to it or take it away from the cells in the

body and I have read papers on how mice would die when not give

salt - so here is the question what is really going on? and why?

My son was a salt craver and still is some days Kelp and the home

self test with iodine tincture helped me determine what was going

on.- he is still very alkaline with yellow stool for the most part

even though I supplement in ox bile and B. bifidum to help with

this... so really I don't have it all figured out yet myself... I

hope this can point you to the answers... My 2 Cents Ann

What's the connection between salt craving and alkaline/yellow stool?

My son has all three of these.

My opinion is that the true salt you find in nature like Celtic Sea

Salt has a lot of minerals and nutrients everyone needs not just

Iodine.

We do need salt to produce Hydrochloric acid to process our food

better so our intestines can absorb the nutrients since our kids have

gastrointestinal problems I notice my son was not producing enough of

this stomach acid because his stools shows a lot of undigested food I

did not give him enzymes because what I read about them, now that I

give him this salt the food seams to process better I don't see more

undigested food in his stools. He craved salty things also they crave

I believe because mineral deficiency,

Salt before being process has a lot of minerals like I said before

that our tap water and bottle waters don't have, soon I start giving

him Celtic Sea Salt his appetite start getting better and better as

well his bowel movements. Also refine salt goes thru a process

everyone should know, it is so full of chemicals including bleach. I

read Iodine and fluoride are really bad if they are not together with

other minerals that in nature they are always together, check Dr.

Jordan Rubin's Book " Repairing your digestive health " it help my son,

now he is 95% recuperated from his gut problems

Hello,

really good points - at on time I even thought salt was retarding

yeast in my sons gut also....

Let her have the salt, but make sure it is sea salt, not table salt.

It is a good multi-mineral as well as a source of sodium.

Also, salt her food and she will probably be less picky.

Pepper and most seasonings are high phenol, as well as having other

issues. My son did not tolerate seasonings until the end of chelation.
