P.S.     I forgot to tell you thanks for pointing out the other gentlemans article.

He must not have be salt wasting or he wouldn’t have made it that long, I don’t think from what little I know. One of the other things I do alot is drink water, lots of water. AND, I was taught to eat salt straight from the salt shaker. I do it when ever I CRAVE salt, which I do.  The old doctor at Mayo asked me if I did this, and was glad to hear that I did. He said it was sort of like cattle and a salt block, they lick it when they crave it.

 

When I was young and got the stomach flu, I was told to put salt in ginger ale, to help settle my somach and get the salt in me. Still had to go in sometimes and get it from a bottle in my arm, and have in adulthood also, especially when my colitis is active.  Spent many a day with a bottle of saline hooked to my arm, but hey, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!   Oh, and as the other guy said about the emergengy solu-cortef????   I never heard of that till about maybe 10 years ago, and couldn’t find a pharmacy to fill it till about two years ago. I have only used it once, this last fall with the stomach flu, and it helped me heal up much quicker that the old way of trying to take pills over and over till they took.
