That's bs. You take salt tablets because you're sweating too much. In college back in the 70s, I was a pitcher in college in Miami Florida. Unlike today, I was a starter and pitched 9 innings. During the game because of the heat and the loss of fluid, the trainer had me take salt tablets, not to inhance sweating but to prevent cramping. Simple as that. Elvis is the man!

"In later years, he would combat the famous dry Vegas throat by inhaling a salt solution that was prescribed for him by a Las Vegas doctor. When Elvis came offstage he would be sweating profusely, he lost an average of six or seven pounds a day. He normally sweated a lot anyway" Marty Lacker-Elvis portrait of a friend p.183

Thank you 👍🏻

[@DeenaLancaster]

David, I was taught actually the opposite. Salt tablets help you retain the minerals lost in profuse sweating. We used to take them at summer camp to help us not dehydrate only really hot days. Maybe it was different for different uses, but people with high blood pressure need to stay away from salt bc it makes them retain water. I don't know, really. I may be way off base.

[@PerrySkyePhoenix]

Makes sense to me.

[@helenlarmour9972]

I live in Northern Ireland, salt is banned in cardiac wards, it’s bad for blood pressure.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

I honestly think they coined the pills “salt “tablets. Obviously, if you eat a bunch of sodium, you’re gonna retain water. So if you take pills to make you drop water weight, it would be a diuretic. But the water that you retain is from carbs or sodium intake. so, that’s what I think it actually is

[@vibekes2416]

​@@ElvisistheMan_ You need to do some research about the topic before talking

[@terynlopez3742]

@@ElvisistheMan_ Diuretics can actually decrease sweat production! Diuretics work by making the body excrete more sodium into the urine, which then increases the amount of water flowing out of the body as URINE not SWEAT. Please research and stop presenting this as fact! You are doing Elvis a disservice by misinforming fans and perpetuating all of these rumors.

[@carolhayar3037]

Not everything written is truth. Guralnick's explanation may be truth, it may not be, or may be it is 1/2 truth. And because Graceland said it still doesn't convince me. It may truth, it may not be. I've heard contradictions from Graceland & from those who knew & lived w-him for 20 yrs. Depending on how many tablets you take, it can cause water retention. Some of the possible side effects are joint pain, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat. Too much can also cause a decline in kidney function. It can also throw off your entire electrolyte balance. You cannot take salt tablets indiscriminately for a particular reason & not know what damage you may be causing to your organ system. But you can stand under those mega hot house lights & stage lights naked & perspire profusely. So imagine the perspiration when in one of those jumpsuits.

[@nadmaury5735]

Guralnick doesn't give any explanation. If Graceland pretends that everything written in Guralnick's book would be the truth about Elvis, Graceland is a huge problem. This quote from Larry Geller read carefully sounds like a joke between Jackie and Elvis. Nobodoy never said that Elvis would have taken salt tablets to attract girls by sweating more. It makes no sense. Why would Elvis have been looking for any trick to attract girls in 1966 ?

[@terynlopez3742]

Guralnick just quoted Larry Gellers book. Just a story not a fact. A quick google search shows that salt tablets prevent you from sweating too much, not more. Maybe he could have taken them for heat cramps but not to sweat more.

There are mistakes in Careless love : Page 445 "Mike Stone, whom she and Elvis had originally met at Ed Parker’s international karate championships in Hawaii in 1968" (they did not meet Stone because they left before the end of the championship; Stone met them backstage in Vegas when he was the bodyguard of Phil Spector)

I thought salt tablets replace the salt you lose from sweating. I know when my husband was roofing he would salt his beer after work to replace what he lost during the day. I worked outdoors for over 20 years and when I sweat so much I'd get nauseous and would eat pretzels that had a lot of salt to take the nausea away.

David, I see the article but something got mixed up between Jackie telling Elvis what he took and what the reporter printed. They were not salt tablets, salt makes the body retain water. Now if he would've taken salt tabs days before the show to hold onto water and then 2 nights before the show he stops taking in salt then that would've made him sweat more on show night but to take a handful of salt tabs the night of the show, that would've had the opposite effect of what they wanted as they would've had less sweat on show night. I dont know what Jackie told him to take but salt would not have worked. No big deal, there was a mix up somewhere. Reporter got it wrong or did Larry hear wrong, did they actually take salt and think it was gonna work, we will never know what actually happened but salt makes you sweat less if taken on show night

[@ElvisistheMan_]

I’m thinking it was a diuretic. But Peter did his research. I’m sure.

Salt Does make you retain water, that's why Drs tell you to avoid the salt shaker if you have high blood pressure and heart problems. I know because I dealt with my husband's problems for over 20 years. When he didn't do what the Dr said, I had to make him take the diretics(( that he also was supposed to take everyday, but wouldn't)

[@bobbyhunt3009]

@@sandralybrand9425 Yes Maam, diuretics like lasics shed the water from the body but primarily it does it by making you urinate more not by making you sweat more. I think what happened is Jackie thought he was sweating more from salt pills and he told Elvis and both of them took the salt pills but it did not make them sweat more because it just doesn't but both of them thought they were sweating more. Sweating more comes from being hot so it was the lights and performing that was making them sweat not salt pills. The salt pills actually made Elvis more bloated so it was making him look worse instead of making him look better but back then they just didn't know. The Placebo effect is very powerful though and if they thought it was working then I'm sure they kept taking them.

[@lillyd2246]

There are so many stupid things written about Elvis, we can't rely on everything we read.

[@ElvisistheMan_]

Calm down it’s true. Larry said it, Guranlick said it, and Graceland advertises the book as “True stories of Elvis.” Whether u say it’s a salt tablet or a diuretic to remove salt (water retention) it happened. Why the resistance to a simple Elvis fact?

[@lillyd2246]

@@ElvisistheMan_ Guralnick said nothing, he only quoted Larry. Several other persons were there. Who did confirm that it wasn't a joke which made everybody laugh ?

[@terynlopez3742]

@@ElvisistheMan_ People are upset because you are presenting this as FACT when it is only stories and opinions. There is absolutely no tangible proof he did this. It is ALL hearsay.

yep and college park, was the proof that no , he wasn’t only taking prescribed medications 😉

I have read the same about the salt tablets.

[@poussin4665]

We don't care if he took salt bars or bars to tan Talk about his work instead, or leave him alone //// Always spying on his every move :/ ELVIS with tablets or not is not here to answer: Don't forget that with all his physical and psychic worries he is and will remain the greatest STAR who walked on the Earth and illuminated the Universe /// TCB / Rest in peace beloved ELVIS and IGNORE! Best Regards !

Thanks poussin 4665. I'm tired, so tired to read all that stuff.

Thank you KASTNERANDREE, why always look for polemics with two bullets, concerning beloved ELVIS???? Some people don't care about his musical work, they just try to make something "sensational" / ELVIS is better than that!!! In short, we will never be able to stop rivers from flowing and tongues from often speaking indiscriminately / TLC / Regards /

[@heidivanooijen-blezer142]

We know that he was the biggest STAR. He was also a human. Just like you and me. He did good things and made mistakes as we all do. Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't affect him being a STAR in my opinion. 😂

That's where I read it too

Elvis loved his pills,didnt he have a medicine book ?

[@Yeshua-s1j]

I do believe you. Elvis took tablets of sweat. If you notice that one of Elvis’ concert of June 21 1977 singing unchained melody. You can tell that he took sweating tablets

[@lillyd2246]

Even a doctor can't tell why someone is sweating only by watching him singing a song

[@terynlopez3742]

A quick google search shows that salt tablets prevent you from sweating too much, not more. Maybe he could have taken them for heat cramps but not to sweat more. The more you know...
