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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Microplastics are everywhere including on mountain tops and in the air. We breathe in a credit card’s worth of microplastics every week!

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.

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.

Can’t argue with that.

Hospital dietary is restricted by the protocol. Making food intolerably tasteless and actually not healthy. The heart healthy diet is based on 30 years ago studies coming from bias sources.

The one question I repeatedly see ignored is how much salt a person needs to eat in which to maintain a healthy balance?

Also the link to the free article doesn't work for anyone who doesn't have the app (because it stinks).

Everybody is unique. People have to be observant about the way they feel...and look. If I have too much salt, my fingers swell and I can't remove rings. I also note, when I look in the mirror that my eyelids look puffy. I am very careful and don't buy processed foods, which have lots of sodium...Its a flavor enhancer long with fat and sugar to get people to eat more of a product.

If you taste a strong salt flavor you need more.

True, we need sodium. Sodium is found in natural foods in exactly the proportions we need - sodium chloride is a chemical, and therefore not a food (actually, an 'anti-food').

Karl, every food is a chemical or, more commonly, a combination of chemicals. The term chemical does not distinguish between biological chemicals and inorganic chemical. One needs to use qualifying terms. Glucose (blood sugar) is a chemical, amino acids and fats are chemicals. Salt, in this case sodium chloride, is an inorganic chemical, in other words, by definition, not containing biological source carbon. Oxygen is a chemical, etc.

Yes, you are correct.

Has anyone had any experience with or medical knowledge of, a short term (weeks) treatment with prednisone for inflammation or spine issues.?? Or arthritic issues? I prefer the health and herbal route but when desperate to heal after months of pain and to avoid back surgery, would this be a wise option?

Careful with steroids. They may be good for some acute problems, but taken over long periods of time they can be very problematic.
