Re: salt pushers
Gina and Trapper are fully supported by the doctors that I frequently quote.
Dr. Brownstein:
=================
"See how adding the right kind of salt to your diet can help:
Fatigue
Adrenal Disorders
Immune System Function
Thyroid Disorders
Headaches
Cholesterol Levels
Blood Pressure
For years, we have heard the following: A low-salt diet is healthy. There is no difference between
table salt and
Sea Salt . Low-salt products are better for you. These are the myths of salt. Dr. Brownstein will present the research on salt that will change the way you look at this vital substance."

If y'all don't like Dr. Brownstein, we have Dr. Jeffery Dach:
=========================
"The low salt diet is counteracted by compensatory mechanisms that release harmful substances into the bloodstream, hormones and chemical mediators that counteract the “low salt diet”. The released chemical mediators include insulin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, renin, aldosterone, etc. These are harmful and damaging to the vascular system.....

The sodium-potassium connection
"Sodium and potassium are essential dietary minerals and electrolytes, meaning that they dissociate into ions (charged particles) in solution, making them capable of conducting electricity. Normal body functioning depends on the right regulation of sodium and potassium both inside and outside of cells.
Sodium is the principal ion in the fluid outside of cells, while potassium is the principal ion in the fluid inside of cells. Sodium concentrations are more than ten times lower inside than outside cells, and potassium concentrations are about 30 times higher inside than outside cells. The concentration differences between potassium and sodium across cell membranes create an electrochemical gradient known as the membrane potential. A large portion of energy in the body is dedicated to maintaining sodium/potassium concentration gradients, underscoring the importance of the balance between sodium and potassium in sustaining life. Tight control of cell membrane potential is critical for heart function, as well as nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction."
