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.

Your kidneys are OK I guess, I should fix mine first, wonder how,

[@leialee6820]

Thank you for your post. I have had a problem with low sodium/salt causing pressure in head & causing my BP to go up extremely high. It also caused a sense of feeling faint, light-headedness & feeling odd. I recently came across Barbara. O'Neill & obtained some Celtic Sea Salt. Just at experimental stage to see how much I need. I was lacking salt in my diet due to not cooking & eating a varied diet & the right things. NHS Drs don't know the importance of salt & it has been demonized so much. I recently heard that 1 in 10 people get high blood pressure due to low sodium levels This appears not to be known or understood by drs. I also was someone who got exceptionally thirsty & would drink a lot but this was during the day. I was diluting the small bit of salt I had.

[@Mauitaoist]

A few years back I did a 30-day fast but I took salt in my water everyday along with some magnesium and potassium and I was able to exercise to go to work and have a full day even though I wasn't eating anything. I know it's the electrolytes of the salt that gave me the ability to do that.

[@1corinthians294]

@Mauitaoist may I ask how much salt you put in your water and how often per day? Dr Bernstein suggests 1-3 tsp salt per day but I don’t know if that includes what you use on your food, in cooking etc. I am currently trying to drink a big glass with 1 tsp of salt in it and it seems like way too much?

[@lindaponder6590]

I also did a 30 distilled water fast only and didn't get cramps until the 3rd wk & went to doc because of cramps. Yep sodium levels low. (She didn't know I was on a fast) Then a friend, not doc told me to put a brain of Celtic salt on tongue every time I sipped water. Not all at once bc it has to get into the cells. While on fast lost 30 legit pds, went down 3 prescription glasses, too much every, way to happy & off BP meds! Truly a miracle! Went back to eating SAD & in 18 months slowly gained 20 lbs, eye sight not quite as bad at start of fast and back on BP meds.😢 Hopefully I can do it again then eat 50% raw.

[@soulcostume6756]

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. There´s even an instructional video or two on KZbin for making your own Lugol´s iodine solution. I did it, and it turned out perfectly and will likely last me the rest of my life :)

[@fronniebealer7808]

Wonderful interview.

[@rwavery_Toledo]

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/

[@scottishfoldmocha5875]

Sodium and potassium have to be in 1:2 ratio in your diet, increasing sodium you must increase potassium, that will keep blood pressure in normal range. Same for iodine, it has to be balanced with selenium. When there is too much iodine and not enough selenium, it can cause thyroid tissue damage and autoimmune thyroiditis. Selenium protects against the effects of iodine toxicity and prevents autoimmune disease from flaring up.

[@christinebean7932]

​. 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 ?

[@BringItOn31124]

I think what needs to be mentioned is his recommendations of 1 to 2 teaspoons of unrefined salt is to be consumed instead of and not in addition to refined salt in the diet or processed foods.

[@1charlastar886]

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.

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.

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.

I have some questions. I have Hashimoto's and I breastfeed. I have heard that you detox with Iodine, how will this effect nursing baby? Also, what is Nascent Iodine and is that a scam? I also have a hubby that is having problems achieving an orgasm and if he does he has a dry orgasm? We have changed a lot and his symptoms have gotten better with keto/carnivore. His neuropathy has gotten better but there has been a lasting effect, could this help him?

Good question charcoal is tricky for me as it binds yo lots of things like probiotics.

So what is an optimal level of sodium?

[@shawnkiwi2761]

Anyone struggling with constant fatigue and desire to nap

[@SnackQueen01]

Yes I had that for a long time but when I changed my diet, started detoxing and taking iodine I started to feel better. The fatigue is gone and I have energy.

I'm rather surprised there's hardly any mention of potassium.. Sodiums extra cellular (outside the cell), potassium is intracellular. The more hydrating mineral is potassium by far, not as much sodium, though, you do require some sodium for hydration so the sodium/potassium pump works properly and obviously for all its other functions in the body. Potassium is supposed to be the higher number for the sodium/potassium ratio and most people are not getting near enough potassium. In fact I've seen people getting less potassium than sodium, and then they wonder why they are puffy... They are flooding water outside the cell...This is not hydrating the body properly. Potassium is SUPER important, there's numerous conditions it helps with ie. heart disease. It is also involved in detoxification. I don't know why Brownstein appears to brush it to the side as if it is a mere afterthought, it literally works part and parcel to sodium.

[@iwo612]

Celtic sea salt will help with that.

[@VaChiee]

Where would you suggest getting the potassium , I eat plenty of veg but I wonder more about my body's ability to uptake/ process it correctly. I'm a little afraid to just start drinking random minerals. Plus I'm not a fan of the supplemental lifestyle. How do you think one can go about finding a balanced level. I'm finding that working with certain plants and teaing them can be a good way to boost the um's

[@shatteringthematrix6959]

how many drops in for 12mg of iodine

approx 2 drops but it depends on is it 2% or 5%.

[@Lovepinkdress]

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.

With the sole water do you use grounded up Redmonds salt or do you use the Redmonds salt rocks? The salt rocks seem pretty pricey compared to the original Redmonds salt when you can purchase it in bulk 10 pound bags. Thanks

The Himalayan in the Celtic and this other salt do they have iodine in them it doesn't say if there's iodine in it or we have to find another way to get iodine

Take it orally you can buy iodine + at any health food store do your research if you are serious

If they are unprocessed yes because it's from the sea

Isn't Himalayan Salt just as good as Redmond's even know it comes from Pakistan? It Has over 85 Trace Minerals in it.

[@jgrysiak6566]

Yes, Redmonds is from dirty , polluted Great Salt Lake. Himalayan salt is from mountain mines & rocks

There are many chemtrails in the USA compared to Pakistan and the lakes are very polluted in the USA too . I use Himalayan salt

[@althe]

If you look up the highest salt intake and longest lived peoples, then the lowest salt and shortest lived, they both seem somewhat correlated. For a carnivore diet need 10 grams of salt (1.7 teaspoons) daily - about double what a non-carnivore needs.

I are on the road to cancer & heart disease with a carnivore diet.

[@Terri_2.0]

And yet some carnivores (including Owsley Stanley, a carnivore for 50 years) never salt their food. They thrive on the natural sodium levels in animal proteins. Go figure. So many contradictions in the information we seek.
