The way we are being lied to about what is good for us and what harms us is beyond the pale. Salt that harmful spice, the King of flavor enhancers that is bad for your blood pressure and increases your risk for heart attack and stroke, has been demonized for decades. A large study and I mean large has exposed this to be another big lie to keep you sick so the medical industrial complex can manage and monetize your chronic disease. A study was done out of Tel Aviv, Israel in 2016 that looked at 500,000 people in 49 countries. They found that the individuals who ate the most salt every day, 6.000 to 9.000 milligrams had the lowest risk factors for stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure. I don't know about you but that is the exact opposite that I have heard and been told by doctors for decades since my mother's first heart attack in 1994.

I remember buying Dash salt substitute for my mom and trying it on something she cooked when I was visiting, and I was not impressed. I have no idea about today's salt substitutes, but I am almost scared to do the research and find out what people might be putting in their bodies.

The Lancet medical journal published the study and revealed the truth. I believe five minutes later and please do not quote me, the lawyers for the American Heart Association were filing a lawsuit against the Lancet to make them take down the study and remove it from existence in our solar system. They also threatened to remove all funding from the Lancet if they did not remove it.

The FDA claims 6,000 to 9,000 milligrams of salt is 3-5 times higher than recommended, the AHA says it is 6-7 times higher. The AHA benefits from your chronic heart disease and the member doctors benefit of course from your need to visit them regularly to manage the disease, thus monetizing it. The AHA wants to be seen as more relevant in the eyes of many including their own selfish and prideful eyes.

Here is something we all are mostly aware of, but we may have never really thought it through, so let's put on our thinking caps and see this for what it is. The very first thing an ambulance, emergency room, or urgent care does is tell you just a little sting and then you get an IV of 9,000 milligrams of a saline solution, you know SALT. If your blood pressure is really high, they will give you a "Push" which is 18,000 milligrams of saline in a 40-minute period. You think the nurses and doctors are miracle workers because you start to feel better, but maybe if you were eating enough salt to begin with you would not be hanging out with them feeling like death warmed over.

And now the rest of the story. That IV bag of saline cost $2.00 and the "Push" $4.00. They charge children the child rate of $380 or more while they get us grown-ups for $800 plus. The bottom line to lower your risk factor of overpaying for salt is to eat more salt at home. We need salt in our diet and the iodine. Stop letting them lie to you. God Loves You & I Love You.
