Re: lymph cleansing~ zeta potential~ discussion desired!!
I wonder about the high amounts of salt the io-docs prescribe....after a certain point, do we STILL have that much bromide to "salt out"? I feel that after a certain point, the salt's coagulative effects on the blood and lymph come into play....the colloid system itself becomes salted out!

"In medical circles it has long been believed that too much "salt" was conducive to a cardiovascular condition, and that if such condition was evident, the diet should include much less salt; hence the so called "low salt" or "salt–free" diets. From the standpoint of Physical Chemistry, the writer could not agree more. It is perhaps a minor point, but the medical profession singles out sodium chloride, (as contrasted with potassium chloride or potassium sulphate) as being the offender. On this, the writer cannot agree. Figures 19, Fig. 20, and Figs. 157 and 158 (pp. 232 and 233) show that any electrolyte, regardless of type, will "salt out" substantially any colloid system if carried to extreme. Therefore, in the writer's opinion, excessive potassium chloride or sodium sulphate or potassium sulphate would if present be substantially as harmful as sodium chloride. There would be some difference in the three, but regardless of such difference, all could (and would) be lethal if carried to extreme. But, as to the preference between sodium and potassium, the writer has good evidence and agrees with others who hold that potassium salts are much more favorably received by the system than sodium."
