This is yet another "counterintuitive" study given the commonly recited dogma by medical professionals that caffeine will increase your blood pressure and in the long run contribute to CVD risk. As you can see, long term caffeine intake actually lowers systolic blood pressure, especially in...

Excess salt stimulates production of adrenalin and causes hypertension This study is saying that salt doesn't increase blood pressure due to increased blood volume, but actually by increasing adrenaline which constricts capillaries. This doesn't make sense to me. This is the only study I...

In yet another confirmation of Ray's ideas, this study shows that mice on a high fat diet did not gain weight when supplemented with the extra amount of 4% salt in their diet. The 4% extra dietary salt is equivalent to about 30g of extra salt for a human per day. Peat said in one of his...

This paper tells of using IV sodium sulfate to lower elevated calcium (hypercalcemia) by by increasing both sodium and calcium excretion in urine. http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM196610202751602 It notes that while note as effective, sodium chloride was also effective. The only test was...

The study was done on teenage girls, but it supports Ray's ideas about these minerals. Maybe they'll do similar studies on adults soon? http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article ... id=2272973 The take-away: "A diet high in potassium appears to protect teenagers from high blood pressure in...

I know this is the salt of choice by 'Peaties', but I wonder if anyone here has had adverse reactions to it?

Does anyone know where to order Mortons Canning Salt (or similar brand) online and ship to Canada without paying an arm and a leg in shipping fees?

This is a pretty simple idea, but it has worked for me. On Jan 14 I measured out 1/2 cup of salt into my salt shaker, on 1/25 it was gone, so about 2 tsp/day. On 1/21 I measured out 1 cup of sugar, on 1/26 it was gone so about 3 TBS = 36g per day. x quarts of milk or oj every y days is similar.

I am yet to find a good salt in any supermarket, what salt do people from the UK buy? Thanks.
