==>I wrote to the Grain & Salt Society and they mailed me a total

breakdown of their sea salt, and it does contain iodine. Do not use

commercial salt for any reason - it is bleached, doesn't contain

natural chloride and sodium, and it has aluminum added to make it

free-running, etc., etc.

==>You get plenty of iodine in ocean sea salt and butter for your

thyroid. If you take too much it is just as damaging to the thyroid

as not getting trace amounts as needed.

Bee,

This comment about sea salt got me thinking, I have been having a terrible

time with what I think is my thyroid. I have this tension in the back of my

neck, it feels like someone is tightening up a screw back there. Also I am

still losing ALOT of hair, so much that it blocks up the drain completely

when I shower, and I am crying alot. I don't have much hair left to lose and

this is causing me a considerable amount of anxiety. Does this sound like

thyroid symptoms or adrenal fatigue? Can you recommend anything to help? I

wonder if I am using too much sea salt now, I use 1tsp of it in my

electrolyte drink and additional sea salt applied pretty liberally on my

meat and veggies. I recently had some blood work done and all my hormones

came back normal (I knew that was coming) but my cholesterol was very high,

I know you say it is a non-issue but here are my numbers:

total cholesterol = 389, HDL = 92, LDL = 286

Thanks for your input.

==>I understand how you feel - it's not easy. Adrenal fatigue causes

thyroid problems like that last article I posted. Again, candida

causes all of the body's cells to go rigid so nutrients, hormones,

etc. are less able to get in and waste is less able to get out.

This interferes with the functioning of the entire body, not just

thyroid or adrenals. A lot of functions are handled within the body

by more than one organ/area as well, i.e. metabolism. Are you

taking all of the supplements, including omega 3, vitamins A, D, E,

B Complex, Cal/Mag, etc., and not taking " other stuff " or drugs?

Omega 3 and the oil soluble vitamins A, D & E are extremely

important for the brain and mind. See the Depression & Anxiety file -

it may be in the Treatments Folder, I'm not sure.

==>The recipe is 1/4 tsp., not 1 tsp., ocean sea salt plus the juice

of 1/2 lemon in 6 ounces of water, plus you can add it to your

foods. 1 tsp. to your drink is too much unless you need it for a

short period of time to deal with something in your body.

==>LOL! Cholesterol is totally a non-issue. In fact your body does

not make cholesterol from fats of any kind it makes it from carbs.

My cholesterol was over 420 total 2 years ago and I am not in the

least concerned about it; in fact it proves cholesterol is repairing

and protecting my body. Of course mine will be higher because I do

not have a thyroid.

issue is a moot point but how about the level of good HDL to total

cholesterol?

==>Cholesterol is a protective and repair substance which is produced

by body as required and there is no such thing as good and bad, but it

makes money and confuses people. Treating the right thing would be

mean treating the parts in the body that require such repair and

protection.
