Keith The difference in how seasalt effects us and how commecial white table salt effects us is like night and day. I would be very interested in any articles that show that seasalt has killed anybody - those ones you posted all used commercial salt. Except the premature baby and that article does not even say that the saline was what killed it - just that he was left " on a saline drip which apparently left the child dehydrated." They don't even know that the child was dehydrated . They go on to say that "a coroners' investigation will now be held and there will be an inquest". Sounds like the cause of death is unknown to me - they don't even seem to know for sure if the child was dehydrated.................. This website has a quite a bit of info on salt, the various kinds, etc _http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/si_WhatIsSalt.asp_ (http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/si_WhatIsSalt.asp) Seasalt is very healing - in fact, essential to the adrenals for example and are an important part of healing the adrenals and endocrine system. A yahoo group for Lyme Disease which I belong is all about using seasalt and vitamin C to kill not only the bacteria which causes Lyme , but also the various 'critters' which cause various co-infections. . Lyme Strategies This forum is dedicated to the ongoing research of practical approaches to Lyme infection. It is based primarily upon the the Oral Salt/Vitamin C approach pioneered and described at the Lyme Photos website: _http://www.lymephotos.com/index.shtml_ (http://www.lymephotos.com/index.shtml) _http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lymestrategies/_ (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lymestrategies/) There are also a few members taking this protocol to kill the mycoplasma that causes arthritis The Case for Mycoplasma’s Role as a Cause of Autoimmune Rheumatoid Diseases _http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Mycoplasmas%20Properties%20&%20Their %20Role%20in%20Autoimmune%_ (http://www.arthritistrust.org/Articles/Mycoplasmas%20Properties%20&%20Their%20Role%20in%20Autoimmune%20Diseases.pdf) 20Diseases.pdf Physicians' Protocol for Using Antibiotics in Rheumatic Disease The following is a modified version of Dr. Brown's protocol. _http://www.mercola.com/2000/aug/27/rheumatoid_arthritis.htm_ (http://www.mercola.com/2000/aug/27/rheumatoid_arthritis.htm) _http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/08/27/rheumatoid-ar thritis-part-one.aspx_ (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/08/27/rheumatoid-arthritis-part-one.aspx) and there are a few whom found that the salt also cured the barteria that causes Crohn's Disease etc COMMENTS FROM DR. GABE MIRKIN Sections - Treatment For Severe Arthtritis; E Coli In Gut Causes Rheumatoid Arthtritis; Reactive Arhtritis; Antibiotics and Arthritis; Why Arthritis May Be Caused By Infection; Anykylosing Spondylitis; Doxycycline For Arthtritis; Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis Early With Antibiotics _http://rheumatic.org/mirkin.htm_ (http://rheumatic.org/mirkin.htm) This protocol requires people to eat 18 to 22 grams of seasalt a day, and the same amount of vitamin C. [ a heaping Tablespoon of seasalt equals about 18 grams of seasalt] This is not a new protocol - it has been around for more then just several years - and nobody has died from seasalt. It is not unusual for some people whom have digestive issues to need buffered vitamin C however. There are several members whom have been taking this everyday for 2 years plus others whose disease is in remission or 'cured' whom feel that their body has benefited in many ways from the salt and so still take at least 10 to 15 grams of seasalt a day. Some of these 'critters' are very difficult to kill, as they do not live only in the blood - but change into different forms [for example mycoplasma or L-forms] and live and hide in the muscles, bones, and organs. And many treatments such as antibiotics can only access "critters' in the blood. One of the co-infections, Bartonella, has no walls and is also frequently found in the lining of the veins as well as inside red blood corpuscles - as well as organs such as the brain and the heart. But salt can access the critters wherever they are - salt water can go wherever water or liguid is in the body, including inside cells. Some people eventually will also combine frequency machines and/or colloidal silver, or herbs, etc to their protcols for killing the various 'critters' that they have - depending on what co-infections they have. >> According to several sources, in traditional China, salt >>was a popular choice of poison for suicides, all it took was a few >> spoonsful.

It must have taken a lot more then "a few spoonfuls" of salt to kill those Chinese people. For example, I am still here and have been taking over 2 teaspoonfuls of seasalt everyday for the last 2 months. And I am in the process of going to 3 teaspoons or 1 Tablespoon. blessings Shan Re: [Biofuel] Unrefined Salt: Another missing link to optimal health + Related Articles Keith Addison Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:01:26 -0700 More silver bullets.

We had some pink salt from Nepal, very good, and some other pink salt from somewhere in the Andes, not so good: it had a strong smell of sulphur, which tainted the food, I thought, though Midori liked it. Japanese are picky about salt, you get a lot of different kinds of real salt here. > salt that is hand raked from the Brittany sea. North coast or south coast? Not sure I'd want to eat salt from the north coast, not very clean perhaps. It's important which particular sea it comes from. I'm also not sure quite what hand raked from the sea means, but I think what matters just as much is what happens to it after that. As I understand it, when you evaporate sea water, the first salt to crystallise out is sodium chloride. Frequent consequence: it saves energy, money and time just to grab the sodium chloride and leave the other 79(+) minerals behind. And you can still call it "sea salt". One reason to like pink salt maybe. It's not just refined salt that's dangerous, you can overdose on real salt too. According to several sources, in traditional China, salt was a popular choice of poison for suicides, all it took was a few spoonsful.

Recommended max dose is 4g, not more than 6g. Of course that's refined salt. Refined salt seems to be rather addictive, up goes the consumption rate (same as refined sugar). When you eat real salt instead you seem to need much less. I think chronic overdosing like this is much less likely with real salt.
