Salt and Your Brain

!±8± Salt and Your Brain

According to some of the latest research, unrefined sea salt is indubitably good for your brain and especially so if you spend a lot of time in a hot environment. Your brain appears to be encased in a salty environment and floats in salty cerebral spinal fluid. Salt is constantly being pumped into this fluid. It must be replenished in the diet to contend the optimal brain environment.

The brain is 85 percent water and uses salt for taking acids out of the brain cells. The acidity is a by-product of the power consumed by the nine trillion brain and nerve cells that constantly chatter to one another. The power expenditure produces acidic toxic waste that must be pumped out of the brain to be eliminated. Because high pressure flows to low pressure, just like the weather, salt regulates the pressure so that the acidic wastes are pulled from the cells and pumped to the elimination pipeline. If we are short of salt or water, the acidic toxins build up in the brain and nervous system, creating things like memory problems, cognitive difficulties, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Your brain functions well on a very narrow pH range. When the brain becomes too acid, the delicate brain cells become damaged and the general brain chatter becomes less and less efficient. This can be caused by dehydration, lack of salt or by a high acid-forming diet.

The human body needs salt to regulate the water pressure inside and face the cells. This water is the highway that transports nutrients into the cells and acidic wastes out of the cells. If this osmosis process in interrupted on a chronic basis, the body becomes toxic and stagnant. The osmosis process uses an "injection pressure" which pushes and pulls nutrient and waste where it needs to be. The drier the body becomes the higher the injection pressure has to be for the osmosis process to work. When the infection pressure becomes out of general range, we call it hypertension. With the right salt and water balance, the push/pull doesn't need to be as great or require so much attempt on the part of the body. This results in the blood pressure returning to general ranges.

We're told not to have salt because of the possibilities of high blood pressure. Of course too much salt is not good either. There must be the right balance. The type and quality of the salt is important, too. Agreeing to Dr. Batmanghelidj in his book The Abc's of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus: Eradicate Asthma, salt is one of the most prominent elements for the body also water. Table salt is not good for you because it's refined of all the other minerals and elements that are good for the body. Unrefined sea salt is a much great for your health.

Today, most bottled water is very acidic and tap water is full of chemicals. Most citizen find tap water distasteful. In some areas of the country, it is very acidic and over time, acidic pH water will conduce to "acidic body diseases" and dehydration. The body does much great on alkaline, ionized water as it allows a neutralizing of metabolic acids so the body stays healthier for longer, or helps to restore condition where it is lacking. You would be wise to build up to drinking half your body weight in ounces of alkaline, ionized water every day. And, of course increase your salt intake.

If you have fuzzy thinking or you can't find your glasses so you can find your car keys, drink more water and sprinkle a itsybitsy unrefined sea salt on your food. You'll feel great for it and maybe you'll find your glasses.

Is It Really Liver Pain?

!±8± Is It Really Liver Pain?

Liver pain is on the right side, mostly right under the rib cage, and up. There can be free fluid around the liver in the abdominal cavity which will produce pain in the right shoulder. It probably hurts to breathe in, or cough. Sometimes people describe the feeling as a swollen full feeling or cramping under the rib cage.

Liver pain symptoms are often dismissed because it is a general belief that organs don't hurt. If you are experiencing any of these sensations, don't give up, and don't think you are making it up. Liver Pain can be real. Rheumatologists, nephrologists, family practitioners, all have been known to dismiss liver pain as patient complainings.

Sometimes it feels like your liver just doesn't fit under your rib cage. One person described it as feeling like a brick was tucked under their right rib. Sometimes the feeling is connected to a pain in the back as well.

Pain caused from a swollen liver is not necessarily sharp. Most of the time 'liver pain' is just a dull ache. Sometimes the sensation is wrongly attributed to fibromyaliga.

The cause of Liver Pain may be more easily identified by identifying other symptoms, such as fatigue, itching, swollen testes, difficulties breathing, eating problems, or even shoulder pain.

There can be many reasons for liver pain. Blood and urine tests help to identify problems in the liver, but don't rule out the effects of barrage of pollutants and toxic substances in today's environment. While the liver was designed to detoxify and rid the body of foreign chemicals, it may not be equipped to handle the barrage of pollutants and toxic substances in today's environment. So, while you are checking for possible causes of the pain associated with the liver, it would be a good idea to check your body for chemical overload as well.

Individual reaction to toxic overload can vary greatly. The most common symptom associated with toxic overload is fatigue. Other symptoms include headache, muscle and joint pain, irritability, depression, mental confusion, gastrointestinal and/or cardiovascular irregularities, flu-like symptoms or allergic reactions including hives, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing and coughing which is not usually associated with liver pain, but can actually be the cause.

Like all other pain symptoms in the body, liver pain should be taken seriously.
