Ok, get it
To go back to your original reply - you said that a 'crystal of Himalayan salt would keep my blood in balance'
I love salt - too much salt I would say - but I have to admit that this sounds a bit, well, un-scientific. You mind me asking:
Why Himalayan salt? What is different about it? What does 'blood in balance' mean?
I don't mean to knock your theories, but I am curious to find out where they come from
Cheers
Himalayan salt is richer than sea salt and cleaner. It has 95 minerals. Sea has a lot of pollution as you know. The doctor on the video got my attention when he said that in battle field when a solder looses a lot of blood they inject ocean water into his blood stream. Because ocean water has everything in the blood plasma. I investigated to find out that is true. So I studied the subject. When I got enough convincing arguments, I decided to try it. I got the results I mentioned. I will do another test in three months. The key word here is balance in the blood components.
Apologies if this next post comes across as argumentative - it's not meant to, but your last post is so factually incorrect that I can't ignore it in my red wine haze...
The armies of the Western World have the most advanced trauma capabilities we have ever seen - I am pretty sure they don't go looking for ocean water to inject into trauma victims. No doubt they do use normal saline solution to replace lost circulating volume, as does every hospital in the World.
I am fairly sure that ocean water does not contain all of the proteins, clotting factors and other important components that make up plasma - these components are why hospitals keep supplies of FFP (fresh frozen plasma) available to treat people if needed. They have separate supplies of saline solution (salty water), because the two are very different
Great that you got good results, but please bear in mind that this does not constitute evidence in the scientific sense of the word

No need for apology. Nothing is personal.
That is exactly what I said. And when I started my research I found many skeptics like you. They assumed things and they would not budge. This is fine as long as you are young and healthy. I saw in my own eyes some animals lick certain rocks to get minerals. One last thing, check your local drug store and see how many drugs they sell to compensate minerals shortages in the body. So if you take the salt with a lot of water your body is designed to take what it needs and dispose the rest. This makes sense to me. If it does not make sense to you I hope you have more than some assumptions.
One more after the last one is the fact that science is based on experiments that can be repeated. I am one volunteer who experimented with the dr. claims.
Hi, I am not at all skeptical about the benefit of salt. I agree that there are different types of salt and that some may be more beneficial than others.
Where I disagree with what you are saying:
Ocean water does not contain the same substances as plasma. Sure it has some of the same, but it is missing many
Armed forces medics do not inject trauma victims with ocean water - they use sterile normal saline solution, or a colloid based solution, or both
I also watched a bit of the video, but it is too long. The most enlightening part for me was the very long disclaimer, which is basically saying that you should always consult your physician and that you should in now way take what he says in the video to mean you can ignore standard evidence-based medicine. This is good, it would be terrible if a cancer patient who could otherwise be saved with the latest available therapy was swayed into thinking that a bit of salt will also do the trick
Cheers, and thanks for engaging in the article!
holbein81 Thank for not being ignorant for the fact that you took the time to explore. Regardless the disagreement I appreciate people like you. Just to make clear that it does sound stupid for me to say ocean water is like blood plasma. And of course doctors in the army has more advance options these days. In desperate situation when there is no alternative using ocean water will not make things worse in my opinion keeping in mind that I am no were close to be a doctor.
Finally Than you for a such a respectful conversation.
