Update on my salty journey. Recently had first full eye exam since optometrist prescribed "tears", eye wipes, and warm compresses. She was surprised and pleased that my dry eye syndrome was completely resolved. I discontinued her protocol within a week of increasing my salt. I know she's now doing her own research.
Which brand of salt?I'm thinking we should analyze brain make-up and duplicate by percentage ie whats salt % tissue and what bioavailable form is it in we can duplicate ie rock form ain't it! Fatty meats closer..id think bioavailable salt could be extracted from meat or other foods and powdered into a brain supplement.
Or better mix it with other materials again proportioned in brain ie fat and cholesterol but not any,which natural form bioavailable is closest to brain form?What is vitamin, mineral ,metals ratio found most ideal in healthy people etc.
Is it surprising native headhunters would speak of feeling smarter after eating your distant Whiteman relatives brains?
I think not! However, don't know go slurping up your mother-in-law's brains or something as we are now civilized folk,we can duplicate approx, every item of brain material and ingest it or rub it on our scalps w a tad of DMSO solvent to allow brain penetration,viola! From moron to top physicist overnight no problemo!
I’m curious to know if there’s a connection between sweating and hot flushes that occur after eating... (or at any time, for that matter) and the effects of dehydration or low sodium levels in the body.
I have chronic kidney disease and of course am advised to eat low salt. This defies logic and my gut tells me it’s wrong. Add to that the fact that I crave salt and drink quite a bit of water every day. I eat salt daily but feel guilty doing so as I’m going against my doctor’s orders. Your article confirms my gut take on this issue. I’m at the point of not trusting much of anything a doctor tells me.
Both sea and land salts. Harvested sea salts are moist and easy to dissolve in water. I add to my water.
Land mined salts are usually dry and good to sprinkle on food and add to cooking.
Avoid salts with anti caking ingredients.
Have you noticed your CKD symptoms are better or worse for adding salt? My theory is kidneys would be better for the addition of salt as that is the easier/natural action for kidneys to remove salt rather than scavenging for salt.
I have been using Celtic Sea Salt for awhile in and on my food. I have always been a water drinker- now trying to balance the salt and water. How much salt and how much water? I am an active 62 yr old female, 5’4” and 132 lbs. I have normal bp 140/90 that the doctors want to treat w meds and I have given them a firm “no”.
Thank you Jane for your thorough response! I actually love the celtic sea salt “straight” followed by my water. I will keep a journal and see what happens! I have been taking some in the morning and some in the afternoon (as well as on food), but hadn’t thought about before bed. Will try that! Thank you again :)
You’ll need to experiment with salt and water. Remembering and monitoring any symptoms of dehydration or WILT and adding salt plus water to mitigate.
Your body will start to heal, so write down every annoyance, head to toe, include sleep quality and review your list in two months. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how well your body heals when it’s hydrated.
I started with a pinch, then 1/4 teaspoon and now I’m on 1/2 teaspoon with 300ml of water. I take salt with my water and drink as I need.
I suggest you go with ease of drinking so it’s a good experience. Let your salt taste buds guide you.
And allow some time so your adrenals can get used to having down time. Your adrenals may have enlarged to cope with chronic dehydration and if this is the case they will be very efficient with additional salt. So slowly increase and pay attention to how you feel.
Be the expert on you. Keep a notebook so you can reflect on where you have come from. Eg it’s amazing how quickly we forget pain and stiffness when it’s gone.
I take a salt drink first thing to get my mind in gear, and last thing, so my body and mind can relax.
It’s a fabulous good night’s sleep remedy.
And anytime in between, eg if I have a coffee, if it’s a hot day, if I’m stressed, if I’m working in air conditioning.
I aim to stay ahead of becoming really dehydrated so I’m forward planning and then making sure I catch up if I get caught out. I know the salt water can be utilised and my body will absorb what it needs and discard the rest without injury.
I salt my food to taste, this practice aids digestion.
And I am mindful when I’m stirring my salt to dissolve it in my water. I’m focusing on healing and health.
I am 1 month in to adding the salt morning and evening and after caffeine, exercise or stress. My blood pressure has dropped and staying lower than prior to my salt journey! My sleep is better too! Thank you again for all your research and responding to my question. I look forward to sharing this information with others. The fight or flight with stress is something I have been focusing on with calming music or reciting Scripture, and now added salt plus water!
Thank you Wendy for letting me know you are benefiting from additional salt, it’s fabulous news.
I saw this morning a list of dis-eases that have all increased since 1990. Chronic fatigue syndrome had the biggest increase. Women at twice the number of men, just like dementia.
Salt restriction has taken its toll on everyone but especially the women.
I eat a lot of salt but I probably don't drink enough water. This would probably cause some problems. What do you think Jane? I rarely have a cold. I always noticed that when I have respiratory distress, drinking water seems to clear it up. At least usually it does.
The key is to learn the signs of low salt and add hydration as needed. There will be days with stresses, more salt plus water is needed. Eg handling heat or cold, learning new things, frights and bad news, dry air conditioning.
Or just adjusting for salt loss, drinking coffee/tea and alcohol.
Easy to add more water if you have the salt waiting to hold onto it.
" this too will pass" was my mother's favorite saying LOL. She had a lot of health challenges for various reasons but still lived to the good age of 87, in good measure because my dad nursed her so lovingly... and he went to Glory at the age of 97. He was in a wheelchair for the last few years of his life after suffering some kind of a small stroke in his lower back where he lost the use of his legs. He retired from his last job at the age of 87 as a groundskeeper for a local company. He survived two cancers and three knee replacements... died in his sleep and the only medication he took was half a baby aspirin and a cod liver oil pill. When my friends express their condolences, I comfort them and me saying "we should all be so lucky to live the life he lived and die the death he he died." We're not getting out alive. He really did try to look after his health all his life. He subscribed to only one magazine and that was Rodale's Prevention, which I had to cancel after his death. He was probably their oldest subscriber LOL.
Thank you for the reminder about my hips. You were right about journaling our healing progress. I don't know why it is but we quickly forget a given pain once it is healed. I do keep a journal for my homeopathic treatment . Hips are not nearly as stiff or painful as previous. I have more ability to step over objects on the floor... Like my giant Maine Coon cat who likes to sleep crossways the hallway, and he fills it.
As you head into spring and summer, we of course are heading into winter and -30°C temperatures, but we've had a lovely extended fall season with no frost on the garden until late October, a good 5 or 6 weeks later than normal. My "beyond organic" veggie garden is about 130 square meters (1,400 sq. ft.) and I have two small greenhouses, one for season extension (tomatoes & peppers) and one in which I can grow all winter. It has tomatoes, cucumbers, radish and lettuce coming along now.
P.S. I have two friends in Tas who like to complain about their cold winters 🤣.
Eczema is 99% gone and my 80-year-old skin is quite smooth and healthy looking.
Noticed that my fingernails are stronger and thicker and less prone to splitting which was a serious issue before.
My mental outlook on life has improved, in spite of My wife's declining health and increasing responsibility for me. I'm not feeling such a sense of "overwhelm" as previously experienced. I seem to have a much better handle on life now.
Interesting sidebar... My beautiful big cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I've since learned that the veterinarian prescribed food is not what he needs because it's too high in carbohydrates... Perhaps like people, the food is designed to keep the animals sick and provide big Pharma with more income from the insulin. Since salt has a positive influence on human diabetes, I thought I would add a little bit of salt to his food. I haven't been able to test his blood glucose yet, but I have noticed an immediate improvement in the consistency of his stool. It used to be near liquid, but is now reasonably well formed.
Another sidebar... I have a close relationship with a Nigerian doctor and sent him this salty information. He wrote back confessing that he used to prescribe low salt diets but came across an article someplace that proved that was a lie. One more doctor on our side! Hallelujah!
Thank you for remembering me and may your 2025 be prosperous and healthy, and above all healthy!!!!
I do continue to heal in the areas I've previously mentioned. About the time I came across your article in late October, I was developing heart palpitations serious enough to cause me to seek medical testing. My MD sent me to a cardiologist where I had an ECG and a stress test. On December 20th I had a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist who explained that my arrhythmia was caused by dehydration. He noted that the area of my heart causing the increased beats (1 in 7), was not life-threatening but he could prescribe medication to help that. I said if it was a statin drug then I wasn't interested. He asked me why and I explained that in my understanding statins block the CoQ10 pathway and that impacted one's ability to think and reason. He simply closed his computer and said my prescription for you is to get a clear water bottle, fill it up in the morning and have it empty by 1:00 p.m., refill it and have it empty by 7:00 p.m. and then quit drinking so you won't pee all night LOL... And keep doing what I'm doing! When he asked what medications I was on I produced my tiny bottle of sea salt (I have four of them so one is in a pocket of most everything I might wear) and put it on the table. He never flinched or expressed any disapproval of any kind.
From years of so much muscle pain I do have a lot of residual stiffness in the muscles. More prayer led me almost immediately to discover fascia relief videos. I previously had no clue what fascia were, but I'm now much more informed and beginning A program called Block Therapy online. So far it is quick to provide muscle release and relief of the painful symptoms.
Thank you once again for caring, and I will try posting in a month or two after working with the block therapy treatment.
Thanks for sharing, had to watch my mom go down hill with every medication they added and salt restriction! I can see it so clearly now! Stay away from doctors! Their tests are meaningless, only meant to create a patient ! Especially if you feel good makes no sense to me..and since learning why all shots are causing harm stay far away from all shots!

Thank you Garth, it’s good to know you are doing well. May you know your body better each week and find effective solutions that support your wellness in 2025.
The idea hydration equals water is wrong. Water cannot be on boarded without salt to retain it. Your doctor hasn’t understood the salt physiology that underpins wellness but that’s the point of pHARMa training physicians and the salt restriction directive we all received.
I imagine as you drink your water, you slip in salt from your pocket and your thinking remains sharp and calm.
My hips like me to elongate the space in their joint space. I lie on my stomach, put my feet just over the edge of the bed, and stretch one foot out, then the other. I feel the tightness on one side more than the other. I gently push against the tightness and breathe. It turns the contraction off.
Pain is an invitation to know thy self better.
Free movement is a blessing salt plus water, and gentle stretching returns.
I'm sorry to hear your wife's health is declining as yours improves.
I'm glad you can sense your way through the difficulties currently presenting.
I say to myself, this too will pass, when I encounter strong headwinds. Change is the only constant.
How are your hips?
Salt is needed for every part of digestion, cats don't eat carbs naturally, only raw meat.
When they eat dry food, it causes problems. I had cats growing up, they never got sick. We only ever took them to the vet if they were physically injured. We kept our cats healthy on tinned food, nothing fancy or expensive. This was pre-food science technicians. Pseudo food is not food.
Sooooo.... One week into increasing my salt intake, not frankensalt, I have these observations to report.
1. At the end of day one I noticed the dry patch (eczema ?) on my cheek was noticeably smoother. Now at day 7 it's smoother still and reduced by about half in size.
2. By day two I noticed that I was no longer a little bit dizzy on getting up in the morning.
3. Around day four I started to notice that my eye's adapted better to farsightedness after spending time close up reading, especially my phone screen. Previously it was taking several minutes for my eyes to readjust to farsighted seeing.
4. Ever since cataract surgery in the summer of 2023, I've been developing painful dry eye syndrome. I've used drops and warm bean bags on my eyes daily to no avail. I'm sensing a definite reduction in dry eye symptoms.
5. Perhaps most importantly for my future well-being, is that lower body stiffness and extreme pain are reduced by at least half and I am stronger. Yesterday I was able to carry a 50 lb box of kitty litter into the house with much less strain and pain than previous.
6. It's hard to quantify, but I do feel a greater sense of calm and less sense of overwhelm. The great amount of fall work in preparation for winter is still there, but I'm approaching it better... More rationally.
7. I am grateful to God for answering prayer in the form of Jane's writing. Thank you both!
I’m not sure if you are addressing this his question to me, Gigi
I explain my journey in my article: we breathe air not oxygen.
This article was written later.
I’m a mother with an interest in health.
If you like what I write, it’s derived from research and experimentation and clarity from understanding physiology is powered by hydration not oxygenation.
I’ve three articles, lots of notes.
Read, ponder and let your curiosity grow and then teach you. It’s the Wild West. Pioneers are needed to scrutinise and banish the lies inserted to retard.
Because yes, the establishment will insert lies wherever they can to derive a profit. THEY (the criminal class) especially delight in causing suffering. Devil is short for do-evil. Evil is THEIR mantra: live backwards. This means THEY invert knowledge at will, as it suits, no morals.
Yes, Jane, I was speaking to you. I mistakenly wrote "Kathy." I can appreciate your personal opinions from personal observation and thought. I am curious if you have any formal education or work experience on your subject matter. Thank you.
Work experience, mmm, I have a daughter with special needs, so yeah, a lot of ‘work’ experience. She has been my focus for 16 yrs, and each time I rest on my laurels, I find there is more to learn.
I’m aligned with this sodium correction, but what I know about intake is the correct dosage is EVERYTHING. No matter what the subject. And so…it’s gonna be a slow process of trial & error.
Update on my salty journey. Recently had first full eye exam since optometrist prescribed "tears", eye wipes, and warm compresses. She was surprised and pleased that my dry eye syndrome was completely resolved. I discontinued her protocol within a week of increasing my salt. I know she's now doing her own research.

Salt is the elixir we’ve all been looking for. Yes, regular salt, NaCl. The stuff Drs have been suggesting is responsible for dis-ease.
Greg, my articles are free to read, I explain our physiology is powered by hydration not oxygenation. Every physiological process requires moisture.
1. We breathe air not oxygen
I logically dismiss the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide as a fraud.
3. How does salt restriction lead to heart disease and fear based reactionary thinking?
I explain low salt or dehydration is an emergency and how this is managed by the adrenals. Chronic adrenal management results in chronic dis-ease.
Click on my name to find the articles.
That is absolutely fantastic news! Thank you for sharing this Garth 😍
I wake up every morning and put a half a teaspoon of sea salt in 16 oz of water at room temperature.
Later in the day I drink 20 oz of water with homemade electrolyte powder that includes salt. Life changing!
Since doing this my hydration levels on my smart scale are spot on.
It was a paradigm shift for me.
Thank you, Te Reagan
It’s fabulous to get your feedback.
And I didn’t know smart scales can monitor hydration as well as body fat.
I’ll be updating my scales and suggesting my daughter’s special school use one too.
I bought this one. It’s on sale. Made by GE. Thirty bucks.
I wanted one with the wand. But bought the one I could afford.

Hi Jane,
I’m curious to know if there’s a connection between sweating and hot flushes that occur after eating... (or at any time, for that matter) and the effects of dehydration or low sodium levels in the body.
Thanks!

Your article confirms my gut take on this issue. I’m at the point of not trusting much of anything a doctor tells me.
Is there a type of salt that you recommend?
Hi Dees
Both sea and land salts. Harvested sea salts are moist and easy to dissolve in water. I add to my water.
Land mined salts are usually dry and good to sprinkle on food and add to cooking.
Avoid salts with anti caking ingredients.
Have you noticed your CKD symptoms are better or worse for adding salt? My theory is kidneys would be better for the addition of salt as that is the easier/natural action for kidneys to remove salt rather than scavenging for salt.
Any update on cause or cure of of Pnuemonia ?
Can elderly avoid it or is it part of the dying process?
Consume sea salt. Stay away from table salt and iodized salt.
Fantastic article I will share it far and wide ...
Hi brian,
have you read Tom Cowans book Contagion Myth? Free pdf and others at this website www.VirusTruth.NET and how did you figure out no virus?
I have been using Celtic Sea Salt for awhile in and on my food. I have always been a water drinker- now trying to balance the salt and water. How much salt and how much water? I am an active 62 yr old female, 5’4” and 132 lbs. I have normal bp 140/90 that the doctors want to treat w meds and I have given them a firm “no”.
Thank you Jane for your thorough response! I actually love the celtic sea salt “straight” followed by my water. I will keep a journal and see what happens!

Hi Garth
Thank you for your welcome salty update.
I'm sorry to hear your wife's health is declining as yours improves.
I'm glad you can sense your way through the difficulties currently presenting.
I say to myself, this too will pass, when I encounter strong headwinds. Change is the only constant.
How are your hips?
Salt is needed for every part of digestion, cats don't eat carbs naturally, only raw meat.
When they eat dry food, it causes problems. I had cats growing up, they never got sick. We only ever took them to the vet if they were physically injured. We kept our cats healthy on tinned food, nothing fancy or expensive. This was pre-food science technicians. Pseudo food is not food.
It's getting humid and hot here in Brisbane.
I hope you are still enjoying the last of autumn.
I am wondering if anyone has tried a salt therapy machine? I am looking at SaltAir and wonder if people have a good experience with it.
I link to a research article where they used salt particle inhalation for breathing problems in chat. Have you looked at salt pipes?
I just did. I think I'd like something for the room.
But a friend who gets weird lung symptoms while out running could maybe be helped by one of the portable pipes.
Sooooo.... One week into increasing my salt intake, not frankensalt, I have these observations to report.

Wow, that's an excellent start on your SALT ROAD, Garth.
I'm so pleased for you.
Thank you for letting me know.
May I quote your updates at the end of the month, if you are so kind as to report the week by week?
Plague is now plaque.
You may. I’ll try posting again early next week.
Kathy, i like what you say, but would like to know your qualifications for your health thoughts, in oarticular about dehydration. Thanks.
I’m not sure if you are addressing this his question to me, Gigi
I explain my journey in my article: we breathe air not oxygen.
This article was written later.
I’m a mother with an interest in health.
If you like what I write, it’s derived from research and experimentation and clarity from understanding physiology is powered by hydration not oxygenation.
I’ve three articles, lots of notes.
Read, ponder and let your curiosity grow and then teach you. It’s the Wild West. Pioneers are needed to scrutinise and banish the lies inserted to retard.
Because yes, the establishment will insert lies wherever they can to derive a profit. THEY (the criminal class) especially delight in causing suffering. Devil is short for do-evil. Evil is THEIR mantra: live backwards. This means THEY invert knowledge at will, as it suits, no morals.
Yes, Jane, I was speaking to you. I mistakenly wrote "Kathy." I can appreciate your personal opinions from personal observation and thought. I am curious if you have any formal education or work experience on your subject matter. Thank you.
Work experience, mmm, I have a daughter with special needs, so yeah, a lot of ‘work’ experience. She has been my focus for 16 yrs, and each time I rest on my laurels, I find there is more to learn.
Is that because you only believe what's told you by someone with a degree, or a white coat? Good luck with that! 😂 Oh, and roll your sleeve up! 🤣
Hello Jane... not a big deal, but youmight wnat to edit the second line...
Dehydration: think sticky instead of slick: clotting, adhesions, brain plague …
didn't you want to say brain plaque?
lol, yes, thank you, I will make a correction.
Dementia is a a bit of a plague for women though, occurring at twice the incidence of men.
I’m aligned with this sodium correction, but what I know about intake is the correct dosage is EVERYTHING. No matter what the subject. And so…it’s gonna be a slow process of trial & error.
