Salt and Vitamin C

I stumbled up some information that unrefined sea salt and vitamin c in large doses can cure this disease. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with it? It sounds too good to be true but I do believe that there is a natural cure for every ailment but because there is no profit to be made then it is not well known. Thoughts?

I am doing some research and am considering it. It makes sense if you read about it although the only fear I have is kidney stones. I am a male and I've heard that is worse pain than giving birth. With a lot of water this can be avoided but they are taking some huge doses of salt. I agree it should he taken with extreme care.

Use good quality pink Himalaya seal salt, its full of essential trace minerals, but also watch your BP. Good prices at www.saltworks.com. I bought a good size bulk bag and selected a very fine grade that dissolved better than more course sea salt.

I tried it for a few month before getting to my LLMD. Ramp up slowly and it also helps with other parasites.

I agree it is something that would need to be monitored closely. I found this article interesting.

It seems that as a culture we have been eating less and less salt daily for its supposed correlation with high blood pressure. Some people will beg to differ, as every treatment will have different effects on everyone. The early colonies ate a lot of cured meats and the primary way of curing was salt. I don’t have any research to back this up but I believe Native Americans would dry and cure meats using salt as well. In those times a person would naturally eat much more salt based on the foods available. I'm not totally 'buying it' but it does have some interesting research to back the theory. We all know what happens to a slug when one puts salt on it.

I tried this, but I don't think I did it right. The website I came across said to use something like 4 grams of vitamin C and 3 grams of salt, and neither of those amounts seemed like a lot to me.

I used my herb scale to measure them out.

4 grams of C is like a 1/4 tsp, if that, and I feel like I eat more than 3 grams of salt per meal. I like salt. I try to use the Himalayan or Celtic sea salt, but it is expensive for the amount, and a pain with the grinder (all they sell in the stores around here, no zip baggies). Plus, I always forget to order bags online when I purchase my other meds. I know it's not so good, 'cause no iodine or minerals, but I use canning salt the rest of the time. lol

Anyway, maybe it was a typo and they meant 30/40 grams?

NQA - 4 grams (4000 mg) of Vitamin C is not a large amount.

I regularly take 2,000 mg daily...and if I were to feel a cold coming on, I would up that to 8-10 grams daily.

oh - okay that's 3-4 X a day. 12/16 grams makes more sense.

I read that you should increase to bowel tolerance...when you get diarrhea, then just back off a bit.

(That's just general information - not particularly for the Vit.C and Salt protocol)

Yeah, I might try it again, just for a bit to see, or at least the higher doses of vitamin C.

Speaking of the bowel tolerance, it made me poop like 10 minutes later. I do not think it was a coincidence either. I'd been going through one of my constipation phases.

My doc said that the way to determine your body's specific tolerance for Vitamin C is to go up and up and when you do get loose stools, back off and that is your body's desired amount of ingestion of vitamin C.

My stomach couldn't take anymore. Also I read (afterwards) in the Blood Type Diet that certain blood types could not tolerate high mg doses of Vitamin C and A. Well, that's me 😊.

You must have a balanve of sodium potassium in your plasma ...kidneys will regulate...i been injecting saline and still cbc says it is 1 pt from 6 month ago...lymed in 2010 on other forum has notice ketes stop with saline solution but intracellular? ...and round body...?

I saw that website and there is also a book on amazon that the reviews show people who have cured themselves. I want to retract my previous statement saying that early treatment for syphilis was with salt, upon further research I found it was salts of MERCURY. Well I wouldn't want any type of mercury in my body so that statement is crap. I am still researching into this and would love if someone who has experience with this working or not working to chime in. It seems plausible but that doesn't mean I want to just start this without some more backing. If what I read is correct it does sound like it could get intracellular infections based on osmosis, the cell of the bacteria couldn't lose enough water for the salt on the outside in effect killing itself in the process. I am really tired today I just want this to stop.
