I recently visited a friend in a hospital during meal time. The effing dietitian used artificial butter and labeled it no cholesterol? This demonstrated that the myth busting science exposing the cholesterol scam more than a decade ago never reached Ammerican hospitals.

The last place I would go is a hospital,,,everything going on in hospitals.. lowers one's health further. Hospital dietitians know nothing about healthy food. Patients become very malnourished in hospitals. I could not believe what I saw... An older friend of mine who just had a serious heart operation was fed...a tv dinner in an aluminum tray.

Hospitals, pharma, doctors, is there really any difference today? Good Drs are few and far between with college indoctrination of pill pushing.

The brain needs cholesterol; thus, the medical industrial complex blob doesn't want us to have it. Same with salt, same with eggs, same with real butter.

We can have all of it, but only if it is highly processed by the big food industrial complex...

So frustrating, and so evil.

Salt has been an essential commodity for millennia. Wars have been fought for it. When it's hot out and I'm sweating bullets, you betcha I want some salt!

Truly can’t hate Pharma enough! Whatever Pharma and Gov pushes, do the opposite!

I’ve been using 1/4 tsp Bob’s Red Mill baking soda in 12oz drinking container for some time now. Now I shall go one better and ordered some Redmonds real Salt! Thanks for the info.

Everybody is unique...What's good for one may not be good for another. I have to be careful about sodium. If I use too much, can't remove rings from my fingers. and my eyelids get puffy. I use very little salt, but when I do, it is Redmond's Real Salt. It contains minerals...and we all need minerals, but I try to get them primarily from the organic non-processed foods I eat. I also use very specific additional vitamins, minerals and an iodine supplement. I have no physical problems at 91...and fast walk for an hour every morning.

Much appreciated. I love AMD, and love to read their articles, but the length (and depth) leaves me spreading it out over sessions. It’s good to get the high points.

Yeah, I quit reading. (S)he really needs to get an editor; way too wordy. It's not like AMD is the only one with something to say.

The health industry is just one scam after the other. Doctors are just sales reps for tests, screenings, procedures and drugs.

Blood pressure rising is usually caused by arterial damage. Which makes blood pressure meds less than ideal. The pressure goes up to keep your body keep going. Better to get to the root cause.

I am starting to realize that EVERYTHING they have been telling us about health is just the opposite of what they have been saying !!!

That might even hold true for most things that they have been trying to convince us of ???

"That might even hold true for most things that they have been trying to convince us of ???"

Short answer: "They" lie about nearly everything to one degree or another and the older I get, the more I'm convinced of that.

I have POTS and salt works.

Increasing salt intake is often recommended for individuals with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) to help raise blood volume and manage symptoms. A typical recommendation is to consume 3 to 5 grams of salt daily, along with adequate fluid intake, to improve overall well-being.

My partner has POTS but remains very skeptical of increasing her (good) salt intake.

Has just been put on Ivabradine and has had very good success so far.

Just curious… did your partner’s doctor have her take a treadmill test? I refused because I thought I would faint since I almost fainted just walking around Disneyland before my diagnosis.

Henri's avatar

Not that I know of for POTS specifically - but she did have one last year for a cardio check and had great trouble performing it (but did not actually faint).

She has multiple other issues such as sleep apnea (which is helped by a night time mask and breathing device) and is recovering from a mastectomy/breast cancer. Cancer drugs are hard core and troublesome.

I’m so sorry to hear about her cancer diagnosis. I pray she fully recovers. 🙏

I think my decision not to do the treadmill test was justified then, my doctor had enough info without it.

Thanks Henri.

No doubt, the american "experts" are behind this. Probably purposefully misleading the world again for money, as is their way. What else is america lieing about?

One of the top causes of illness and death in the Grand Canyon backcountry is not the heat, they play that up that everyone is getting heat stroke -actually it’s often hyponatremia- people are told to drink a lot of water and avoid salt. It’s a recipe for disaster.

I love the way they keep changing the goal posts on health matters! But, no disrespect to anyone, if people had more common sense they could have sussed this out for themselves. I’m 74, ate salt, butter etc my entire life, am fit as a fiddle & on no medication whatsoever. Don’t rely on the ‘experts’, it can be dangerous 🤣

Recently my husband and I had appointments with a new doctor in Utah where we have moved. He was going to take over administration of our bioidentical hormone pellet treatment protocol and also serve as my husband's urologist to monitor his one and only kidney he has after having kidney cancer in 2020. Based on our labs, not only did he catch the fact my husband has a small tumor on his pituitary gland (which numerous other doctors missed) but he discovered we both had really low iodine values. He railed about people being told to limit salt or to use Himalayan pink salt or sea salt exclusively because the majority of his patients are low on iodine because they avoid iodized salt.

Isnt there a better way to get iodine? Lugols?

Expand full comment
Henri's avatar

Yes, careful administration of lugols is very effective.

Iodised, industrial table salt would be very effective if for the fact that after manufacture the iodine level drops very quickly during shelf life and so you may be only consuming a teeny tiny amount - if any at all.
