Just bcs "real" salt has all these minerals, that does NOT mean that we can absorb them. So can you link me the study that proves otherwise? Until then, no thanks :S What can I say.. I don't approve wasting money. Pretty sure humans did not use salt supplements a few thousand years ago. And there is evidence which concludes that salt (pink salt included) can be harmful to humans. Killing cells and not letting them absorb all the vitamins and minerals. I hope salt is indeed the great amazing thing you claim it to be, but I'm just not sure about it. Definitely seems to treat muscle twitching ... but what is the root cause of it in the first place? Why would I try to treat it with supplements?

Some anthropologists claim Paleolithic man ate a high potassium, low sodium diet. In their viewpoint man only began consuming a lot of sodium during the Neolithic Age when agriculture produced excess food that needed to be stored by salting it. Many Neolithic communities were located near sources of salt for this reason. However, Paleolithic hunters also would have had a need for salt to preserve windfall kills. I find it hard to believe ancient humans exploiting coastal resources would not have eventually stumbled upon the preservative property of salt. Even before that they would have noticed land mammals visiting salt licks and copied their behavior. If what seems to be the predominant anthropological view is true, we had only about 10,000 years to adapt to a high sodium diet. If my common sense view is true, we had about 2,000,000 years to do so (from the emergence of the genus Homo). It's hard and foolish to buck 2,000,000 years of evolution.

Lack of salt actually can cause migraines, not just headaches. I've started taking salt multiple times a day plus additional hydration, and I've been migraine free (except for one tension migraine that isn't from salt) for a month! This is after over a year of 5/7 migraine days a week and multiple medications from a neurologist. I'm weaning myself off the daily preventative with zero recurrence so far!

In addition to salt (electrolytes) to help, west else did you do for relief?

My symptoms of low sodium was lack of motivation and no dreams. First it came as slight fatigue. Stayed as slight fatigue for a long time. That later turned to a total lack of motivation to do anything. And then I realized I didnt have any dreams for a long long time. Once I started drinking salted water, within 2 days the motivation and energy returned and I began to dream again.

I've been having heart arrhythmia problems for several years and my doc wants to put me on drugs and start doing ablations. So after seeing this video I added up my daily salt intake which is easy to do since I have a very simple diet. I was shocked to find out I'm only getting 17% of the RDA of salt. Plus I drink tons of plain water each day. I'll start adding more salt to my diet - who knows, maybe it will cure my heart problem. Thank you for this video,

I increased daily potassium to 3,000 mg by eating two salads a day (2 cups spinach to 1 cup beet greens, plus 1 electrolyte drink during workouts plus food sources). All of this decreased sodium and i felt lethargic. I eat clean at home and only get salt in my food if i proactively add it, so trying to get at least 1,500 mg/day of sodium between Himalayan sea salt & electrolyte drink. Be careful when u increase potassium to healthy levels since potassium and sodium have to be managed together. Huge difference!

Found out about this recently, and am so thankful that my migraines can be relieved by eating a pinch or two of salt. Now I always carry a small bottle of himayan salt with me everywhere. It is also useful for driving away reptiles and venomous animals while camping.

Happy Holidays Dr. Berry! Question re Salt. I am 67 and a strict Ketovore. I am taking your Keto Chow Daily Mineral. Do I need additional salt in my diet? If so, what is an appropriate amount? I've noticed that my heart rate has increased a bit when I sleep (thank you Apple Watch). Also, I'm prone to leg cramps at night (which are way better when I take a good amount of salt during the day. Thanks in advance for your help. AnnaMaria

I am going to send this to someone I know who is doing keto without salt and is having issues with bad headaches, dizziness and irritability! Basically her symptoms match Pots.

Salt is often the solution for migraine as well, as migraine is a result of electrolyte imbalance, and migraineurs are 'salt-wasters.' The book Fighting the Migraine Epidemic explains in detail (with LCHF, keto, and carnivore options for prevention).

I started the 30 day challenge but in my case with fighting crohn's I call it the 90 to 120 day challenge. I remember long ago playing sports in school we had salt tablets for people that would cramp up. I was one of those kids that had and have them way to much and I'm 63 now. Anyway I've been eating Carnivore now for just under 4 weeks and am seeing improvement. I also started taking Electrolytes for cramps before this but have had to up the count I take now. It seem to help me when I, what most would say over salt my meat with good salt. Thanks Doctor for caring and loving us

Actually, you didn't need to specify "not a migraine". Salt, and to a lesser extent potassium containing foods, are how many of us control our migraines. The theory is that the heightened sensory sensitivity experienced during a migraine is actually always present, and becomes intolerable due to depletion of sodium, or potassium in the nerve cells. I read Angela Stanton's migraine book, where she describes this as the issue, and how to solve it, a year ago. I've had 95% fewer migraines this last year.

Your touching on something, as I had become Salt Sensitive, it was suggested I up my intake of Potassium and muscle cramping became much less of an issue, as well as headaches from salty foods.

now being carnivore, I use much more salt that was bad due to a poor diet and high blood pressure. Now the blood pressure is normal on the carnivore diet and happened after only three weeks of a carnivore diet. I feel very good at 73!!!

2:58 absolutely i was on a 24 hour fast and was working out with high intensity and all of a sudden was about to pass out because of low BP.Guess there was no one to tell me that salt was necessary.Salt has been vilified for decades.
