Hello,
I posted this on the
Iodine forum, but I'm posting it here too because I remember that some of you eat and drink salt also, so perhaps you'll have some ideas as well.
I've been having some problems with the salt water.
What I usually do is pour a little bottled water into a cup, then shake the salt container a few times sprinkling some salt into the water, then I mix it, drink it, and follow it with the rest of the water bottle.
The amount of salt I usually use is less than the 1/4 tsp. that is suggested. The reason for this is because that small amount is already giving me issues, which I'll mention in a minute, and because I am only using a little bit of
Iodine so far. I just paint one drop of
Lugol's on my skin every couple of days, and that is already causing changes (detox symptoms?), like dizziness, feeling disconnected, slightly worsening hypoglycemia for a couple hours, etc.
Usually, when I drink the salt water, I get this slight feeling of a rush, with a little anxiety, and my mind feels altered. It lasts an hour, sometimes two or more.
Yesterday was different though. I drank the salt water, and went to sit down. After around 5 mins, I suddenly felt a huge wave of adrenaline and what felt like my blood
Sugar plummeting hard. My vision was getting blurred, I was passing out. I barely had time to react, but I got up instantly grabbed the water bottle next to me and gulped some water down in case it was some kind of dehydration attack, and I stumbled to the kitchen table where I left my raw meat and a fork in it, grabbed the meat and swallowed a piece quickly. Then I tried calling my girlfriend to tell her to come over quickly. I was very disoriented and and shaky, my heart was racing.
After I called her, I sat down and my heart seemed a little more normal, and my hypoglycemia didn't feel too bad (so maybe it wasn't hypoglycemia that happened), I was still shaky. I checked my blood pressure twice, one time on each arm, and my blood pressure was a little high. I noticed that the pressure from the blood pressure device on my arm was causing me to nearly faint; that usually doesn't happen.
For the rest of the day, and still today, I feel really weak and kind of dizzy. It increases when I walk around.
I have a feeling that my blood pressure dropped because of the salt, but I don't understand why.
My diet consists entirely of grass fed organic ground beef (85/15) and Aquafina water, and that Redmond's Real Salt sometimes when I drink it.
I don't drink the salt water every day, I drink it when I feel like I'm lacking salt or am too diluted from drinking all that purified water. I don't put it on the raw ground beef.
Any ideas of what happened?
