My question is...........isn't there some type of tablet she can take instead of a whole tsp of salt???

I need some help here ANYONE???? Well, not just anyone, someone preferably that knows what they are talking about.

Thank you in Advance,

There is a protocol floating around out there which uses high doses of Vit. C and Salt. I think the salt helps to create an environment that is unfavorable to Bb.

Don't use table salt, though. Use Sea Salt. I was advised to use "Redmond Real Salt Gourmet All Natural Sea Salt".

I've had the same bag for two years, though, so obviously I haven't been using it. Hmmm....

Those are some reasons I can think of why adding more salt could be helpful.

I lose fluids very easily so I tend to get dehydrated at times and my sodium levels often drop too low. ... so my dr told me to blend a little fruit juice, sea salt, and water together. The body needs a balance of water, sugar and salt (electrolytes)...same reason why they recommend drinks like Gatorade to athletes. the sea salt helps me retain fluids and keep my mineral levels stable.

But use sea salt, not table salt. I use the same brand ticked mentioned.

And the extra minerals from sea salt can also help stabalize the blood pressure. So if shes having dizzy spells or other symptoms from low blood pressure, salt could possibly help those symptoms.

tickedntx is correct Sea Salt is the best, that is what our LLMD told us to use, but he didn't tell us 1 tsp, just told us to use it instead of regular salt.

Also too much potassium can stop your heart, (we had that problem with my dad), but not enough potassium can cause cramps in your muscles, (mostly leg cramps).

Hope this helps,

She has been having very bad headaches for quite sometime, horrible leg pain, can't keep anything down so she vomits lots and she has been having hallucinations lately too.

She has Babs, bart, Erich, and Lyme of course and maybe one more which I can't remember right now. Maybe is it

RMSF......when he gives me directions I always ask why, how and then ask why again so I have it straight.

He told her to drop her Plaquenil down to half of what she was taking and to drop her Diamox down to half also.

We are adding Bicillin IM 2X's a week. Yippee I get to play nurse again. OUCH!!

Thank you all for your input, if this helps any please let me know.

This came up while I was at a conference last month (a nutty thing to do, I know!) Anyway, I was dizzy, felt like a was gonna pass out. The conference was miles and miles from anywhere..... It worked. I kept the salt up while there and try to remember while at home now. It helped with other things while there too. I was less spacy, brain foggy....

Good luck,

I think Celtic Sea Salt is a very good choice.

There has been so much in the news about the over use of salt, that few people know you can literally die from not enough salt in your body.

There is also Organic Grey Salt: http://www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=264

You can get Walgreens or other drug stores to order pure salt tablets(brand CMC). These tablets contain only pure salt(sodium chloride) and no potassium. About $10 for 100 tablets.

If she is salting food, Morton's light salt contains potassium in it, but this is not to be used as the 1 tsp. of salt per day.

Check out lymephotos.com or lymestrategies.com where people use the salt vitamin C method to kill lyme critters. The protocol is on each site. E-mail me if you have questions. Hiker

I had the low sodium/chloride thing as well, and had major problems from it. Apparently my sodium had been consistently low. But I didn't know this. Another doc picked this up and told me to supplement this. It was down to as low as 122, but ever since I have been supplementing it (with the salt/C protocol, taking 1/4 tsp 3 to 5 times a day with some C) my lab levels have been fine. Also noticed an improvment in my cognitive status. Perhaps your daughter will see improvement in her cognitive status if she does this.

My doc told me a scary story of when he was working in an ER. Long story short - he saw a confused patient in the ER. Labs revealed very low sodium. Gave him IVs and got the sodium level back to normal. Patient improved lots. Doc called the treating MD to tell him and recommended admission for further evaluation and observation and treating MD refused to admit him. Sent him home, and later that day sodium levels crashed again. Patient became confused and walked out in front of a car and was killed.

Needless to say, this had an effect on the doc and he always remembered the incident. This is how critical the sodium level is.
