After reviewing Ray's and Georgi's writings on salt I decided to start tracking it and making a concerted effort to get more, as I've been deficient lately. Some great links below:

More Dietary Salt Increases Urea Synthesis And Energy...
I have seen so many posts about getting enough calcium, b vitamins, zinc, copper, etc. I see barely any posts talking about the one thing that EVERYONE needs more than anything. Potassium. Most people do not get enough and even if they do, they also get too much sodium which depletes their...
anecdotal report i thought might be worth posting for ppl looking
yesterday I woke up with swollen gums in between 2 teeth for some reason. saw a study where swishing salt water for 1 minute was as effective as an antibiotic mouthwash, due to changing ph of the mouth and some other stuff. they...

I have had muscle cramping issues my entire life.
Mostly lower leg, but have also gotten them in many other places.
Usually when trying to activate a muscle that is already under some form of stress.
I have tried every common remedy without success: Mg, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sodium...
every time I drink water because I feel dehydrated and I pee dark yellow, I drink water, but after that I end up having cold extremities, cold in general and I urinate very transparent quickly.
Could this be because my body is so lacking in minerals and bottled water today is almost all weakly...
More news adding to the evidence that COVID-19 and its associated virus are little more than a media circus, at least when it comes to the gauging the pandemic's true danger to our health. We already have at least two amazing studies showing vitamins D/E can not only stop/treat COVID-19, but are...
Lots of hypothroid symptoms. 39 years old lean male.
Always battling my health issues, I recently started taking my blood pressure again, as its always been onthe high side. The highest it was was 140/90!
Ive never avoided salt, I eat regular junk food.
Been salting more and more and yeah it...
Rudimentary but highly effective:
+ xx cups of water to thirst
+2 cups red grapes or coconut water (as a potassium source)
+1 teaspoon of a quality salt (as a sodium and chloride source)
+2 cups milk (as a calcium source)
+75mg of magnesium citrate (or another magnesium chelate)
>>> consume in...
Yet another great study exposing just how much of a "happy hormone" serotonin really is. As usual, the popular press article does everything possible to avoid pointing the finger at serotonin and even engages in misdirection. For example, it says that SERT is the main target of drugs like...
I know that RP suggests getting more sodium/salt than the FDA does but how much is really too much/not enough?
My diet is mostly yogurt, kefir, fruit and juice, plus some cola and coffee. The only supplement I use is 25mg zinc citrate, which is like 8mg elemental zinc. No real sodium content...
I live in a hot and humid climate and I feel a strong urge to drink fluids throughout the day. Since I started peating (I have been consuming a lot more salt than before), I started to feel less desire to drink liquids throughout the day, I stopped drinking pure water, nowadays I only drink...
The study is a bit specific but it shows in essence that GABA is dependent on salt (sodium chloride) to function, and that the strength of GABA activation in the mammalian body can be controlled to an extent by controlling salt intake. It also is another piece of evidence showing the...
I am posting this study mostly as a response to the hostile exchanges I have had with doctors over what they claimed was "irresponsible" promotion of high salt intake. While these discussions mostly revolved around CVD, I also made claims that increased sodium intake would be protective for...
....it also increases oxidative stress. Previous studies have shown potassium supplementation to decrease the oxidative stress occurring from high salt intake in rodents (via decreasing the increased NADPH oxidase activity). Furthermore, a diet abundant in vitamin e, anti-oxidative polyphenols...
High-Salt Augments Aldosterone Toxicity Despite Lowered Plasma-Readings.
Blood-LVL-Aldosterone gets lowered by sodium,but apparently sensitivity rises,augmenting
damage.Sodium is truly almost a micronutrient,with intakes as low as 500mg-1500mg,in indigenous tribes,lower than
magnesium,lower...
These Data-Hamsters are unhinged,let them entertain us though.Allegedly excess NaCl and concomitant rise of Sodium sensing Glucocorticoid-Kinase1,Interleukine liberation,NFKB induction etc, is a major driver of inflammation.

Abstract
