Why You NEED Salt - Your Way to Optimal Health. A Discussion with Dr. David Brownstein

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. David Brownstein, who is a board-certified family physician. In his search for safe and holistic remedies he came across unrefined salt. Unrefined salt contains over 80 essential minerals. Refined salt has no minerals. Over time, it became clear that unrefined salt would be a much healthier choice than refined salt.
In this discussion we talk about the following in chronological order:
1. Should we fear salt?
2. Is there a difference between refined salt and unrefined sea salt?
3. Why do some hold onto salt more if the body need it? How do we know if it’s edema in the presence of excess or in the presence of deficiency? (aldosterone)
4. How does salt affects adrenals and thyroid disorders?
5. Some say mineral salt is dirty from the ocean and salt from rock has heavy metals. Thoughts?
6. Adrenals, cortisol and salt. Should we take more salt when we’re stressed?
7. Importance of pH and disease in body, and the role of salt in it all.
8. Unrefined salt and dehydration.
9. If someone has high blood pressure and removes most carbs, should they or shouldn’t they salt?
10. Some people that should be careful with salt amounts. (kidney disease)
11. What’s a good way to measure sodium levels in our body?

[@peterpan8147]

For years I was thirsty at night to the extent of torture. And that forced me to gulp down water all night - and as a result having an extremely full bladder every two or three hours. Torture. YEARS. Particularly when I had carbs in the evening before - which was always the case. Then I saw a KZbin Short with Barbara O'Neil. She explained that in that case the body can't hold on to fluids, which means A LACK OF SALT. I got myself educated about salt (like Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. DiNicolantonio). Ever since I'm adding two teaspoons of BRINE from Himalayan salt to my water. I had to work up myself from half a teaspoon until my body got used to it to the level of comfort of taste I have now with it. Lo and behold, my nightly problem was more or less gone from the first night. (Except I load my body with sweets before bedtime, something I rarely do. But even then my situation cannot be compared to the years before.) And on top of everything I'm feeling better overall.

I wish there was an option to ask a question prior to this interview. Salt is a never-ending issue. Being on a low-carb diet for 16-17 years now, I always have had problems with unrefined, real sea salt. It makes my joints in fingers stiff, swell and heart. I switched to unrefined, iodized Hymalian pink salt. It's fine but still have problems if I add a little over, which is in a range with recommended measures by the low carb community. I would love to hear Dr. David's opinions about iodine /salt and histamine correlation because I read that iodine releases histamine more quickly in the body. Btw. In Europe, we don't have Redmond real salt so I can't try it. Judy, thank you for the great work and the information you share with us unselfishly🙏🏻

See Dr. Elizabeth Bright re: iodine. Iodized salt becomes useless after a little while because the iodine dissipates. We use Lugol´s iodine solution in water for our iodine needs.

Most 'sea salt' is highly refined and heated to high levels. The international Codex definition for 'salt' says the sodium chloride shall not be less than 97%. Table salt is usually 99% sodium chloride. The minerals in natural salt are critical for optimum health. Celtic or even Redmond are good.

​. What i got from this interview and the part one to this part two is: salt 1½ teaspoon a day for two weeks before iodine. That way when you start the iodine , the toxic haloids that the iodine is chasing out of your body will be able to have an easier why out by way of the salt. And I didn't put that together soon enough to help my self. I started iodine this time before salt and I have a head ache😢 First time I started iodine and tried to remember to take selenium with it . If I stopped the selenium I'd get acne and I'm 71 ?

Dr: Brownstein: From my own experiments on myself, hair analyses, and observations of others I've known, the biologically best source of sodium, potassium, and trace minerals in the diet beyond what occurs naturally in fresh produce is red seaweed, such as dulse or laver. For me, that amounts to about 2 TBS dulse daily. For best health, potassium intake should be double to 4x the sodium intake to prevent sodium from infiltrating the intracellular matrix, where potassium is used to catalyze the citric acid cycle. As for muscle cramps, that has more to do with excessive hydration and/or magnesium depletion. For example, I once went for a 15-mile training run along a 2-mile and 1-mile circuit I mapped out with my car running at a 9 mph pace from about 11am-1pm at 95 deg. F on a hot July 5th day, taking no water, no supplements, no food. I was sweating like a pig but suffered no cramps or faintness. Meanwhile, the cement masons I kept passing who were working on repairing damage to a garage door siding were dying in the heat from their salt-laden french fries, Cokes, and pizzas. For magnesium and boron, my preference is for liquid colloidal minerals that bypass digestion and are absorbed directly into the cells, such as those from elementalresearchinc.com/

I have only used Celtic Sea salt, Himalayan or Redmond for years, and just started the iodine protocol since I am constantly fatigued, have trouble losing weight and several other issues. I am on BP pills and diuretic, which I found out a few years ago should only be temporary but on it for 9 years. My plan was to wean off these meds once I lose the weight I wanted too, however...that's a long story I don't want to get into right now. I did do a 3-day liver cleanse and back on Ketovore. Last year I was shocked when there was a mix up and I went without my meds for 3 months and my BP was normal...but I began consuming alcohol again and it went back up and my doctor freaked put and prescribed my pill asap. (No alcohol since Jan 1, for weight loss) All she wants to do is up my dosage and has not addressed my other concerns. Decided to save up and see a Naturopathic doctor instead but may be a while. Pretty sure the diuretic flushes sodium out, but I'm going to check my last bloodwork to check my numbers.

J. Crow brand of 2% Lugol’s solution iodine (Lugols is not a brand name). I think this channel has a video mentioning how to use it. I think Judy said, one drop of 2% is a safe start, it is 1 mg of iodine. I recommend getting a book, it gets pretty complicated. Dr. Bernstein has a whole book on understanding it. If you try to get info from just reading Amazon reviews or the comments on various KZbin channels it will drive you crazy. Especially this subject of how to take iodine. That’s what I always did, and it doesn’t really work. Now my thyroid is having issues and I must learn what to do.

[@christinebean7932]

I think salt is the vehicle that moves the toxins from our bodies . These toxins have slipped in from any number of ways into or onto spots where iodine belongs. The iodine is moving the toxins out of its way , so it can take its rightful place. I am 3/4 of the way through the 4th addition (I ordered the 5th edition and received the 4th?) And I had to do web searches for some of the words and then youtube videos somethings are confusing with both the book and videos this is part 2 ( salt ) part one is iodine. But I agree get the book library (?) And watch videos read as many of comments . Try to answer questions you've learned the answers to its a learning process and with these symptoms we have confusion is one . Keep trying do what you can , baby steps. I have trouble with the money part as well as the symptoms. I think my symptoms caused me to make way less money than I could have made if I didn't have these problems. I also used to believe I was right where I was sapposed to be , but now I'm thinking I should get angry at the officials that have brought this ill health upon my person. What a dirty trick to hyjack our thinkers by messing so badly with our food supplies and now making it so hard on the people trying to help us. And they should be paid but alot of us are so challenged, like myself I can't have apps and things because I can't do pass words or use my stupid phone or stupid me and smart phone.

Because it's from dirty, polluted Great Salt Lake

[@susiehernandez6652]

Because it's unrefined meaning nothing added. Ionized salt is salt with Iodine added.

[@luanneneill2877]

@@jgrysiak6566That’s a lie!! It has nothing to do with the Great Salt Lake!! “In prehistoric times, there was an inland sea covering what is now Redmond, Utah, known as Sundance Sea. That sea is gone, but it left behind a large, pristine, underground salt deposit-which is where we mine Real Salt. That's why even though our salt lives deep in the earth, it’s actually sea salt. Redmond Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it’s safe from modern pollutants. It’s pure, unprocessed, and full of trace minerals.” - Redmond’s Real Salt

How would you stay in ketosis while doing a carnivore diet?

[@libertytrek]

Don't worry about it, humans always have to complicate things... ask yourself if cavemen worried about being in ketosis

[@jgrysiak6566]

Ketosis is great for short term weight loss but long term it will make u sick!

​@@jgrysiak6566I've noticed you seem to know quite a bit. Is that just from personal experience, research or schooling ? Keto is awful long term for our bodies

I use Redmonds salt , too . But I'm concerned about getting enough potassium because Redmonds doesnt have much in it. When I get enough salt I still have muscle cramping bad in legs and even my hands now ! I take magnesium too.

[@beardumaw24]

Easy fix i take potassium magnesium supplements that's what I do.

I thought Redmond’s have high level of lead in it based on this leadfree mama blog (not exactly sure if that’s it) I switched to Celtic because of that.

[@gentleoldmoviefan5680]

You are correct about Redmond's having a high level of Lead in it. (see article below). However, Celtic Sea Salt has an even worse level, and is thus best avoided altogether. To find a good and very indepth article covering this, I recommend an Internet search of: Mamavation heavy metal salt. That will allow you to find a Dec. 2023 article, written by Leah Segedie, at the Mamavation website, titled: Sea Salt & Himalayan Salt Tested For Heavy Metals Like Lead & Microplastics - Guide. Redmond's, and Celtic Sea Salt, were on the "Not Our Favorites" list (with charts, showing the lab results). As a result of this, I tossed my Selina Naturally Celtic Sea Salt out. To replace it with another unprocessed salt, I bought some Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, which fared a lot better in the testing results (EPA-certified laboratory that tested 23 popular brands, according to the article), and was included in the "Best Salt Products". The salt brands included there had the following characteristics: All aluminum was under 2 ppm, all arsenic was 15.27 ppb or less, all cadmium was 2.56 ppb or less, all Mercury was non-detect, and all lead was 14.99 or less. The article is very detailed, and covers very many aspects of how salt becomes contaminated. There is also a Comments section, beneath the article. I highly recommend reading that too. Good luck in finding a salt that works for you.

Can anyone tell me, in what form are you to consume the 1-3 tsp of salt? I tried 1/2 tsp in a big glass of water and it was awful.

[@Lots3say]

You can put 1/8 teaspoon under your tongue then drink about 1 cup of water a sip at a time. You might try adding 1/2 teaspoon to a liter of water. You could add a teaspoon of lemon to the combo. It might taste more refreshing than sweaty.

[@jenniferbecca3050]

You need to add magnesium and potassium with salt. It's all a balancing act. If you take D3, then you need magnesium and K2.

[@deboragriffin1224]

Also, check your blood sugars, Ty[e 2 diabetes will cause all those symptoms.

[@1977michaelsmith]

I've been no salt carnivore for 6 months and have finally fixed all my leg cramps and issues. Everyone is different. Dinner people can eat salt. Sodium is in meat. You don't need to add it if your having muscle cramps. If your are having issues, eat meat and drink water.

1 tablespoon of Redmond Sea salt has 1872 mg of sodium and the other minerals are in a very small amount. Only 1 mg of magnesium, 4 mg of potassium. With that being said, this is not the best way to get your minerals.

You must listen to your body. Some people do better with salt, others do better with no salt. I stuck to the idea I needed salt for the first two months and had many adverse symptoms. I then tried taking out salt and immediately felt much better. Been no salt for two months and feeling much better. Don't listen to anyone other than your body. There is no one-size-fits-all.

Dr. Brownstein said if you don't get enough salt, your body will take it from your bones. Are you sure you don't have it backwards? Balance is the key is everything. Too much or too little creates issues if both doctor are correct. Dr. B did say 1-3 teaspoons is optimal.

This guy was promoting the alkaline diet nonsense, and, when she asked him if low-carb people need more salt, his bluffing belied his ignorance on the topic. Also, the amount of other minerals in unrefined salt is so negligible as to beg the question. He just hits one button, "salt, salt, salt". Not impressed.
