Re: Full Moons and Bugz - use of salt

[Guest guest]

There is a salt/vitamin C protocol on the lymestrategies group which

discusses the benefits of salt.

Most important - do not use table salt. It is bleached and then has additives

to prevent caking. The salt that is recommended is Himalayan salt, next best is

RealSalt, next is Celtic Sea Salt.

Even if you don't want to do the protocol full strength (which requires building

up to 1 gram of each of salt and C for each 12 to 15 lb of body weight), adding

salt is still beneficial to the body.

It is suggested to ramp up, starting with 1 gram of salt (1/4 teaspoon) as this

can cause herxing. The protocol matches salt and vitamin C gram for gram.

Most people tolerate the higher doses of salt but some have trouble with it. As

mentioned, nausea can be a problem (drinking lots of water to dilute the salt in

the stomach can help). Also, some people may see an increase in blood pressure

although most don't. Some may experience swelling in the tissues but this is

not common either.
