Why Everything We Know About Salt May Be Wrong

[Cirion]

What is the answer then? Any rough guidelines? I know I'm necroing an old thread, but I'm wondering if this could be one reason I have bloat. I have LOTS of salt (probably 10 grams+ some days). What is the optimal Potassium:Sodium ratio?

I thought too little sodium causes stress, but it sounds like too much also does?

When I get lightheaded or consume too much THC, plain sea salt + water helps level me out.

I've been hospitalized several times for dehydration (low-sodium) but have never been hospitalized for low potassium.

If Dr. Peat recommended 10-15 grams of salt (or more), there must be an explanation for the undesirable results seen in the study. Any expert advice on this? I just started added 10g of salt, but am now treading lightly.

All sea salts examined in this small study contained living fungi, WTF
I have been using sea salt (at premium cost) because I thought that it was better for my health

The solution is to avoid salts altogether and reduce food consumption because eating less decreases the load exposure and minimizes the chances of an infection.

Experimental data. It has to do with the structure of the cytoplasm. His book, “In Search of the Physical Basis of Life” explains it really well.
