Hi Stephen

You may be interested in reading my article:

How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking?

I explain how the adrenals run the show when salt is restricted/low.

Hyponatremia is life threatening an emergency.

All the adrenocortical hormones are produced not just aldosterone.

The kidneys under adrenal control run counter to their natural predisposition.

They must scavenge for salty scapes.

It's like driving a car in reverse, great for getting out a drive way but you wouldn't want to go on a long drive in reverse.

The kidneys become distressed with adrenal control and this manifests in failure over time.

The remedy to let the adrenals recoup and rest is salt.

SALT turns off the RAAS.

The kidneys can return to their normal mode of excreting salt.

Prior to refrigeration, food was salted to preserve it, we all ate a lot of salt.

The 70-80s bought in the LOW salt directives. Chronic dis-ease has multiplied.

Diabetic chronic kidney disease accounts for 30-40% of all kidney failure.

It's time to get SALTY!

Diabetes is secondary to hyponatremia or dehydration - both terms for the same condition.

Cortisol increases blood glucose ...

Infertility - sex hormone production is stopped because an emergency is not ideal for fertility.

Dementia - a headache is not a sign to pop a Panadol. It's a sign of brain dehydration. Chronic dehydration of the brain, loss of functionality, think sticky instead of slick.

Heart - dehydration or decreased blood volume requires the heart to increate its rate, higher than normal pulse is a sign of dehydration.

Adrenal fatigue or hypertrophy

And you see it goes on.

Hydration is the key to understanding health.

Hydration equals salt plus water.

NOT oxygenation.

My other article: We breathe air not oxygen

I logically dismiss the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Oxygen is detrimental to the lungs because it is a dehydrator. Reactive oxygen species is describing damage from dehydration. Oxygen toxicity can kill. I explain the difference between air and oxygen in my article. Air is measured by its moisture. Oxygen is measured by its dryness in parts per million of water contamination. eg medical oxygen has less than 67pm of water.

The lungs are rehydrating the red blood cells with saline water, NO oxygen or carbon dioxide is involved. The saline IV rehydrates the red blood cells when they encounter the fluid in a vein.

Red blood cells change shape and lightness: full and light with hydration, shrunken and dark when dehydrated.

The red light monitor is checking for hydration.

The lungs and kidney work together to maintain hydration.

Hang on to your hat, I bust a few paradigms.

No sacred cows.
