Question RE Salt Loading & My Curren...

Hello,
I have a question regarding salt intake. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, I have not been a big salt user in the past. Now that I've been at the curezone site for just over 2 months, that has changed.
For at least 6 weeks now I have been drinking two quarts daily of a solution I make in addition to 2 glasses of distilled water a day plus whatever teas, coffee and juices I may drink during the day too.
The solution is: 2 quarts water, 1/4 tsp Epsom Salt, 1/4 tsp Redman's Real Salt (used to be Celtic Sea Salt until just recently), and 1/4 tsp Baking Soda.
My question involves when I begin doing the salt loading, should I do away with my home made solution?
Also, I've read the salt loading is to be done with Celtic Sea Salt . Is there a reason for this particular salt and that Redman's should not be used for loading purposes?
Maybe I should be asking this at the salt forum?
Thank you for all your help.

Don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. Is your concoction a derivative of the salt water flush?
I began drinking 2 qts of salt water each morning a few days ago and don't have much trouble with it, I can't imagine adding Epsom Salts . Blechhhh. I have used the Epsom Salts during liver flushes, but at the risk of repeating myself, blechhhh.

>>>Don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. Is your concoction a derivative of the salt water flush?<<<
I don't think so. I'd have to find out what the salt water flush is before saying one way or the other though. Seems like the salt water flush is something else.
This solution was recommended at the Liver Support Forum by one of the posters there. When I saw it, I recognized the similarity to a gatoraide-like recipe that I came across years ago (minus the bromides though).
Occassionally, I will go ahead and make this solution tastier by adding watermelon/kiwi Kool-aide and approx 1/2 cup sugar, which with the addition of these two items, the solution is then the original gatoraide-like recipe that I ran across years ago.

LOL. I can relate. The first couple times I took Epsom's it was a heaping tablespoon to a glass of water purely for the liver duct relaxing aspect. Not bad the first and second time. Probably because my side hurt so bad I didn't notice.
Nowadays, epsom's is soooo nasty tasting! Probably because my side feels so much better that I can notice, lol!
In the solution I make, I don't notice even a hint of the taste of the epsoms. So, maybe you might want to give it a try? It does have magnesium in it. :)

Here is a link to the salt water flush if you are interested.

I might want to give your concoction a try, but I guess I have to ask, why do you use it? :)

This is a reply to # 865,400Bullhead,
Thank you for that link. It looks quite interesting and informative too.
It took me a minute or two to remember the original reason that I began drinking this. That reason is still a good reason alone for continuing to drink it. Yet, as time has progressed, I find that there are numerous other reasons that I continue to do so. No doubt that I will forget to mention some of them, but...
1. Original reason: To keep from getting dehydrated and keep, or up, electrolytes.
I don't recommend this, but I did 2 large doses of Epsom's salt, without the rest of the Liver Flush protocol. I had my reasons and I received the results that I was after.
After discovering the egg, oil and juice flushes, I again used the epsoms dose a couple hours later.
Then also, I chose to do the Castor Oil form of bowel cleansing and it too could strip electrolytes.
2. I feel better drinking it.
3. Nice to get doses of minerals throughout the day.
4. Edgar Cayce mentions that baking soda is one of the 4 items needed that, if had, can in effect create all else that the body needs. The other three are: iodine, potassium and I think water. I get all of this in the solution in minute amounts.
4. It tastes good.
5. Having the water, which I could do with just any water, in a container allows me to know that I have drank the minimum amount that I need.
6. Has the effect of kidney cleansing and support.
Well, that is all the reasons that I can think of right now.

This is a reply to # 865,410Thanks for your report. A mild correction though.
The 4 substances the body requires according to Cayce are...
Salt, soda, water and iodine.
My understanding is that by soda he was not referring to the 'baking' kind. I had heard it to mean a form of calcium but could be misinformed myself. The original info came from CayceConcepts.com. It might still be referenced there. Not sure.- Re: Question RE Salt Loading & My Cu... justnmerciful

Right you are. The 4 things mentioned at cayceconcepts.com are: Water, Salt, Soda, and Iodine.
I had wondered about the soda myself. It would be good to know exactly if baking soda is what he was referring to when he said these four items. I spent a little time at the cayce website: A.R.E., I believe is the name, and he does mention the Sodium Bicarbonate several times, which is the only ingredient in baking soda.
Thank you for your input,

The interesting thing about Cayce was that using Iodine comes up in a huge number of his medical readings. So he considered it to be essential to health. He specified a special form of Iodine that was 'detoxified'. I also learned that the famous Hoxsey formula used Iodine to potentize it and by extension I should think that adding iodine to other health products would also potentize them. I drink liquid B-vitamins and add my iodine and liquid oxygen to it. I find it adds a lift.- Re: Question RE Salt Loading & My Cu... justnmerciful

That's facinating information. Liquid oxygen... hmmm, another item I wish to find out more about.

Just ran across at
http://www.iodinesource.com/HistoryOfIodine.asp
near the bottom, that the soda Edgar Cayce referred to is Calcium Carbonate. EDIT: This is NOT the soda that Cayce was referring to.
Thought that you might want to know for sure.

This is a reply to # 865,880I have read a LOT of Cayce (as have several of my family members); we've always understood that the "soda" was NEVER identified clearly by Cayce, either "in trance" or "out".
Your link took me to the information below, which doesn't say anything about Cayce saying what the 'soda' actually is - I 'read' that the author is simply telling the reader that the scientific community refers to 'soda' as calcium carbonate.
Calcium carbonate is basically ground up rock/dust/chalk. Ingesting ground up rocks is a highly debated topic on Curezone (I'm of the 'don't eat rocks' persuasion). It has been clearly shown by many researchers that the body cannot properly absorb it/them ('aborbs less than 5%), and the rest ends up in the tissues, arteries, ON the bones and in the kidneys as stones...eventually. Apparently it makes a lot of people 'better' in the short-term, but in the long-term the price-paid may be extremely high. Also calcium carbonate ruins the Zeta Potential of blood (it helps to make it thick and sludgy)...which negatively effects EVERY organ & system in the body.
And that's my .02 worth on that :)

<Knowing the tendencies, supply in the vital energies that ye call the vitamins, or elements. For, remember, while we give many combinations, there are only four elements in your body, - water, salt, soda and iodine. These are the basic elements, they make all the rest! Each vitamin as a component part of an element is simply a combination of these other influences, given a name mostly for confusion to individuals, by those who would tell you what to do for a price.
This is an amazing statement, laughed at by the so-called scientific community, but investigated by others. Scientific types will tell you that water, salt, and soda (calcium carbonate) are not elements, while Iodine is. Cayce was not an educated man. Recordings of his readings are hard to understand at times, because he went into a trance. In other words, he was asleep and sounded oftentimes like someone talking in his sleep. When he uses the word element, he is not using a chemistry denotation, but rather a loose connotation.<<- But also remember, he didn't say HOW... High on Water

This is a reply to # 865,962just that the body needed it. You've got to go back to the early part of our century to see what soda meant, and I believe it may also have been known as soda "ash" back then, and we need VERY little!
And, of course, all this time we've been denied our iodine!
Without iodine all these years to rid our bodies of the tremendous excesses of calcium, or calcium derivatives, the calcium has been allowed to BUILD UP...adding more health problems to our already-diseased states!
I talked with Phil from iodinesource.com about this, and he said that we get SO MUCH calcium in our diets that we needn't worry about taking more. He simply wanted to quote what Cayce said, and what "soda" meant back in Cayce's day.
I hope this makes this more clear.

This is a reply to # 866,023I thinks that's great information for consideration ...and it certainly makes a LOT of sense.
I, too, believe we get WAY too much calcium...in the forms that our bodies simply cannot utilize, hence has to fight against (without enough Iodine to help!). And many of the foods that we should be able to ingest for calcium in a form our bodies can use, have been turned into food that actually suck calcium stores from our body to be digested. (MILK! CHEESE! YOGURT! grrrr. Once pasteurized they are 'enzyme dead', and our body has to have the enzymes that were killed during pasteurization to properly absorb/utilized the calcium in them...and those enzymes must be produced by taking the calcium from our body's store/bones).
(Lots of good enzyme info here!)
http://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/enzymes_longevity.php
I'm interested in Phil's "take" (or anyones) as I've always understood that Cayce NEVER clarified the usage of the word "soda" in the '4 basics'...I've heard a lot of guesses, but never 'ash'. But that makes some sense as Cayce refered to 'animated ash', 'carbon ash' and 'ash of dodecyl' (the last is in Miracle II products...just one of the reasons why I love them :)
(Thinking outloud now)...but then again, that 'doesn't make some sense'...as why would Cayce have refered to all the other 'ashes' specifically/by name, yet used the word 'soda' in the "4 basics"? That would mean that he did NOT mean that soda and ash were one in the same.
...another Cayce 'mystery' (that people have been trying to understand for decades).

This is a reply to # 866,023I'm even more confused.
Soda is not calcium carbonate, unless speaking to a chemist.
Soda, as used by Cayce, is possibly iodide?

I just wanted to throw in the comment that I was told at a hospital that some Sugar is essential for proper electrolyte absorption. I was being treated for severe dehydration and hypokalemia. I was so low on potassium my heart was starting to fail. Anyway I was given potassium chloride IV piggy backed with saline solution and 5% dextrose (D5W). Its much better and cheaper to make a preventive solution at home. I make something similar, but use fresh lemon juice and evaporated cane juice instead of the kool-Ade, although that sounds yummy.

This is a reply to # 865,455hopinso,
Thank you for throwing in your comments. It is good to have validation on my intuition AND since I really like the addition of the Sugar I just may do it more often, lol!
The Sugar I use is raw cane sugar. Not yet able to tolerate any citrus other than pineapple for some reason. Looking forward to being able to eat oranges, lemons and limes. :)
