We don’t need to add any more. and yet we add salt, pepper, curry powder and g*d knows what wlse! Too much salt is bad for your system and yet when I had a car smash several years agon, what did they connect me up to? A saline drip – more salt! LOL!

I take too much salt with my meals – we all fo read the content of any convenience food and you’ll read salt in everything so there is NO NEED to add salt to anything! I’m 76 and have been using excess salt and spices like curry powder all my life. The one thing I was told as a child was that if you drank sea water you’d go mad. a TOTAL MYTH! and yet I’ve always believed it. I had a car smash a fe years back. The FIRST thing they did was put me on a saline drip – SALT WATER! Lol!

I’ve been drinking purified deep seawater, (not desalinated/ all the salts left in), daily for many years. I’m nearly 65, and a wildland fire-faller. (We fall hazard trees in forest fires). An ounce of what I drink, sourced from the Gulf of Mexico, contains about 13% of the recommended daily salt intake. I average 2 to 3 ounces a day. Some people tolerate salt better than others. We often work in the fires, fire around us, fire at our feet, and the trees we fall are sometimes on fire as we fall them. Compound that by the summer weather and all the safety gear we wear, and our bodies can sweat pretty heavily, needless to say. It has helped me immensely, just so you know.

Hi,
I’d like to comment on someone’s comment. You said your grandmother gave you some when you were sick, right? Sips of it you said. She probably knew the exact amount to give you. If a person drinks it regularly they have no idea how much salt they’re drinking.l because they didn’t put it in themselves.

But salt water YOU control how much salt is put into it. So that I believe is a much safer option since the one controlling the amount of salt is YOU.

Great article. Salt gets a bad reputation but you are helping to clarify the life sustaining properties of it. Could you possibly provide a ratio of salt to water and an amount that might be worth looking at. Presently I’m sipping on a half teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt in about 500ml of warm water with a few drops of Lugol’s iodine and some cider vinegar. It tasty.

In reply to mandyjane2.

Hi Mandyjane2

Thank you for providing a different perspective!

However, one issue with recommending people to drink sea water (especially directly from the sea) is not knowing the level of contamination, bacteria and viruses that you’re exposing yourself to.

Another issue is that you can never really know the level of salt potency as well as the myriad of other nutrients, chemicals and minerals that will naturally occur in sea water.

But I’m always open to change my mind on this especially if you have some academic research to back up some of your claims.

Stay hydrated,
Luke

Hi. I am about to experiment with sea water. I beg to differ on it being any more harmful than salt water. my grandmother, a Cornish lady used sea water as a cure for many different ailments and she saved my life with sips of sea water once. I agree that you cannot use it to replace ordinary water and it is not something to take when thirsty or deyhydrated. I say take rather than drink as it is more like a medicine than fluid replacement. It is free and according to my grandmother perfectly balanced for the human body as long as the person taking the sea water listen to their body when taking it and especially their sense of taste. It is actually very unpleasant to try to swallow more salt than you need. Salt water and sea water is pleasant when you need it. Your taste buds will tell you exactly how much you need. Sea water taken in sips as long as it tastes pleasant is good for you. It can especially help with issues such as constipation as the salt draws water into the digestive tract. It helps with weight loss due to fluid retention for the same reason. Sea water is also good to cleaning wounds, stomach upsets, acne, boils. There is no real difference between salt water and sea water other than sea water being free and unprocessed and a very powerful healer just by sitting and looking at it and hearing it roar. You can just as easily if not more easily OD on salt water as sea.

Fantastic article!
From my point of view, the best benefit of salt water is better sleep The minerals present in salt water help you relax and calm the entire nervous system. They also help in controlling the stress hormone, that promotes better sleep and allows your body to rest.
