Thanks for sharing Gatorkea! I too just started to add in grey celtic Sea Salt this past month, can't tell a difference as I don't really know how extreme low sodium symptoms are. Cheers! :)

Boy... I don't know about that. I eat tons and tons of Sea Salt for years and could not retain it. It seems that until your adrenal glands get a little stronger, it is hard to maintain sodium

before I switched from ARL to TEI Dr. Wilson had sort of given me a scare tactic about taking glandulars with my past melanoma history, even though it was caught in very early stages and was treated with a minor surgery. I didn't like the way he worded it and it made me nervous about taking them. TEI and also my first practitioner I worked with for 1 1/2 years and Dr. watts had never heard of the issue with glandulars and cancer as long as you don't take glandulars that have the added hormones... because of this I have been holding off on taking them. I am now working on my levels without the glandulars but am thinking about adding in the glandulars as I really feel this is going to give me a much quicker extra boast to get my NA/K levels up. I am completing a test next week to see where they are now but all of my tests have shown NA 2, POT 1. I am worried now that I am taking POTT supplements that I am not taking enough supplements to increase my sodium levels, especially with this now current increase of magnesium. With that being said the first 9 months on NB, i only ever took paramin and taurine and magnesium and I survived without any serious issues with the sodium or pottassium loss but I also had issues with my energy levels before I switched so I know that with adding in the megapan and miniplex b and pottassium plus and spartan MK that it is gradually going to raise my very low NA and K ratios but I am just worried about how long it may take

cheers onwards!

I agree with Onwards - I've tried for years to increase my sodium using salt alone and it didn't work.

I've been using glandulars for a while now but only 1 tablet a day. The 1 tablet a day didn't seem to help at all. I'm trying to increase this now but haven't had my levels checked since increasing them.

I don't know if this is a good idea or not but this website says you can increase your sodium with Choline Bitartrate: http://www.acu-cell.com/dis-mus.html

"While using extra salt would work for many individuals, it generally does not prevent muscle spasms with low-aldosterone types (whose sodium levels are chronically low - even with high sodium intake), so supplementssuch as Choline Bitartrate are indicated instead to raise sodium levels, which in time will lower magnesium and thus correct an individual's calcium / magnesium ratio also. "


I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it works? And this was specifically suggested for those who are trying to lower their magnesium levels. So if you aren't trying to do that, you would need to supplement with magnesium simultaneously.

Hi There,

thanks so much for your input! Good to hear it can happen. So what supps were you taking before your levels raised?

I am debating about the glandulars. I am taking some supplements that help raise the sodium and some that raise the pottasium at the moment and all is fine but I want to try to increase my energy levels further and it seems that adding the glandulars will do this, particularly because I have increased my MAG supplementation due to the stress I am under with a big move and in turn this shuts off your adrenals if you are in a low NA/K state, hence the last couple of days why my energy dropped slightly when the last 3 months I was feeling great.
The issue also for me is the hormone imbalance I have had ever since I went off birth control, I need to raise the Na/K levels so I am able to balance my hormones and also dump any copper that may be hiding from the BC pills that will in turn balance out my zinc to copper ratio. For me, I'm just unsure about the glandulars, but thinking about incorporating a very small dose in 1/4 supplement a day and see if this helps with my levels / ratios. Also completing a retest next week so if my levels have raised I may just stop the glandulars and continue with my supplement protocol.
I think your NA level was higher at a four to begin with so your ratio and level was better than mine which was initially at a 2, this is why it's so tricky when trying to work on the NA and K ratio/levels when you are at the lowest possible range.
How are you feeling now? You are with ARL right? Are you still not taking glandulars?
Sometimes I wish I had tackled the NA/K ratios/levels while tacking the CA/MAG ratios/levels like you did. But, I also think everything happens for a reason and I am happy with the progress I have made in just a year having had issues for quite some time now.
I totaly agree about clearing toxic emotions, I am working with an energy healer at the moment and it has been so helpful. I think I am just going through a stressful time with a move from CA to the UK and hence why I am starting to feel more tired. I just need to rest extra and take extra magnesium and maybe give my adrenals a little boast with the glandulars during this time to help extra with these NA/K levels and ratios. Or maybe I don't and I just need to slow down...
I like your note on the salt, I recently switched from just regular Sea Salt to celtic grey Sea Salt , can't see any huge changes but it's always goof to add with a low NA level.
cheers :)

Hi Hopefor my Adrenals,

Can you tell us a bit more about the Biotuner?

And how long before you started feeling a difference?

I also don't believe that Adrenal glandulars necessarily help with NA. I have been on Dr Wilson's Adrenal Rebuilder (glandulars) for many years. They have been super helpful in terms of energy, improved anxiety, etc...; however, during the time I've been on them, my NA has dropped from 8 to 4. So these glandulars did not stop a decline in my NA levels.
