Thank you for the salt master class. What about natural Sicilian salt?
I’m glad you enjoyed the class. I thought what Darryl Bosshardt shared with us was fascinating, also.
According to several sources, Sicilian salt is sea salt from the Mediterranean Sea, in Sicily. It remains extracted the same way they have been doing it for centuries, with no refining.
My concern with sea salt is that all of our waters are now polluted, and the toxic metals need to be removed. The sites I looked up do not talk about extracting toxicities out of the sea water that forms Sicilian salt.
Some sites sing the praises of Himalayan Salt, and indeed, it is a fine quality product. However, for many times less the amount of money, you can get salt that is just as wonderful, if not more so, from a local U.S. salt mine that was established by an ancient sea thousands of years ago in Utah.
Redmond salt was laid down thousands of years ago, before the waters were polluted, so there is no need for any toxic metal extraction. The products are pure and wonderful. If you would like to hear the masterclass, you can access the recording at this site: http://www.stangardnermd.com/store/salt.html
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:

What does it mean when taking potassium causes leg cramping, when I usually have none at all. Thanks, Joanne

We have used Redmond salt for several years and love it. Our favorite movie-night snack is air-popped organic popcorn lightly coated with coconut oil and a sprinkling of Real Salt.
Real Salt can be purchased a food-storage size can from Walton Feed.

Joanne, Please clarify your question. Potassium does not cause leg cramping. Potassium is very good for the heart and blood pressure, and is one of several minerals that if deficient, will contribute to leg muscle cramps.
