I don't disagree with any of that *when the salt is for internal use.* But we were discussing use of salt to create a saline solution from CS, which is essentially external use and is intended to reduce the natural tears and mucus (which would wash away the CS). We don't want a healthy electrolytic balance when making a non-stinging CS for external use. Sea salt contains iodine, copper, aluminum, lead and lots of other minerals in trace amounts. It probably wouldn't hurt when used externally (enough people swim in the ocean :) but is unneeded for making an external saline solution from CS. >Refined salt is practically useless, and comparatively dangerous. Besides, >Sea salt is cheap, almost the same price. Around here, good sea salt costs 10 times more than generic, non-iodized salt. -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
