>> Blood test showed "normal" nothing out of the ordinary,
Blood tests are just another Big Pharma scam, the only thing these tests are good for is to push Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar pills.
>> in fact, sometimes it's down right hard...now, if I can just convince him that >> salt is really ok
Make up a mix for him with 50:50 P.Chloride and WHITE Sea Salt .
Then you can mix 1/2tsp of that mix plus 1/2 tsp of PHARMA grade Ascorbic Acid into 1L water.
Tell him to take a few shots througout the day.
The PHARMA grade C is tasty in that mix and it might just allow you to slowly alter the ratio to 25:75 in the favor of salt over weeks.
