How much salt

[Monique]

Hey Shelley!

I was wondering, how much salt is ok to consume daily if I only cook my own food and never processed food? When I ended up at the ER due to epsom salt overdose they ran some blood test and said that I was very low in sodium. I crave salt and fat terribly, despite that I eat lots of it in food. I sprinkle like ½ tsp of salt on each meal, and I often manage to eat 2-3 times daily. I dont wont to overdose either. But still have cravings.

How much salt is too much?

also, off topic, do you think that continous liver flushing can get rid of roundworms (ascaris) in the liver? I have ascaris in there causing inflammation, and I can feel it wiggle in there too.

Thanks!

About a third of the population has the high-salt body type. If you have a history of estrogen issues it's assured that you have this body type.

Salt is best gained from veggies like zucchini and celery, as it's more balanced and organic. Table salt is okay, best if sea salt, Celtic sea salt, or Kosher. About half a teaspoon a day meets everyone's needs most of the time. If you sweat, drink lots of fluids and eat a ton of fruit and other high-potassium things, it's okay to raise your salt intake even further.

Salt cravings can actually mean the opposite - an inability to digest carbs, because salt is essential for stomach acids and proper carb digestion and utilization. In that case it's often a deficiency of B vits that is the real cause for the craving, or lack of digestive enzymes, protein or Pepsin. If you have eaten adequate salt and still crave it, chances are you need something else. Parasites do tend to rob you of B vits and minerals.

Salt cravings can also mean exhausted adrenals. Try supporting them with adaptogenic herbs for a week or so and see what happens. Gotu Kola, ginseng, astralagus are fantastic for that.

A fiber-based liver flush is best for the larger worms that need to be pushed out fast. Do the parasite expulsion protocol (see fAQ) several times with a deep flushing enema, then combine it with a liver flush. Ideally, it's best to stun the larger ones but not kill them - put them in a stupor with garlic and the medium-strength anti-parasite herbs, and flush them out, then take the stronger herbs to kill every stage/larvae etc.

Hi Shelley!

Thanks for the great response. I eat almost no carbs, and the more salt I eat, the better digestion I have. So I bet that I have to cut down the salt and up my intake of pancreatic enzymes and B-vits.

The parasite plan sound very good and thourough, and you are right about waiting for the big guns (strong herbs). Which medium herbs do you recomend me to take and for how long should I take them?I really must get the worms out from the liver since they make swiss cheese out of it, the pain is horrible.

Do herbs also reach parasits in other areas of the body, like lungs/head/extremities? (legs/arms)

Thanks S, have a great day!

Ok, Shelley Im sorry to post again and take your time, but I feel that I am in a critical situation. My last parasite cleanse caused migration of parasites to lungs/liver/legs/arms. I should have done it the way you just described above, that would be the safest move, but since they are everywhere it's too late for that

Now, whilest also fighting leaky gut and candida and overworked and wormridden liver (very bad bad detoxification phase 2) and bile blockage, I would need a thourough protocol that will give me my life back. I dont dare to experiment on my own like before.

I will take the above you wrote in great consideration, but would you maybe like to recomend me a small tailor-made protocol that can fix/include:

1. kill the migrated parasites, where the adult worms probly are eveywhere not only gut

2. whilst also strengthening my immune system and liver and use the right herbs/supplements and in the same time not make the worms benefit from this

3. and some guidelines on how I should cycle between killing/the time of the different herbs/cleansing/rest

4. and not risk making the parasites immune to this treatment, they adapt darn quickly

5. Can I do something more besides liver flushes to really KICK OUT them OUT of there, heating pads/massage/zapping the liver?

6. Recomend herbs and supplements for this, I order from USA and Canada all the time. I have done lots of garlic and cayenne, bit had not much succes, well, "visible" succes that is.

If you could just come up with some guidelines that would cover the point s 1-5 I would have something to stick to and I would follow it strictly and feel that there is hope, no matter how much time it takes.
Naturopaths here are so "poorly" skilled, they tend to just supplement alot and "wait".

I would be so greateful Shelley and I bet that others on this forum would get lots of inspiration to add to their own protocols aswell.

Take care S!

OH dear that's scary. Okay, I'd use the Zapper and iodine painting and smoke herbal cigarettes to move the parasites out of your extremities. They are best located in the gut, try to get them there before you take herbs. If you eat what they like that could help, just don't eat a lot. Once you get them back to the digestive system you can do the suggested protocol.

Hi Shelley

I know, this is so scary that it is crazy! Im scared to die! Parasite cleansing can be very dangerous.
And try to get a doctor to help me..yeah right.

Should I eat sugar, candies?

oh lord

[shelley]

Depends on the parasite. Protein would be preferable I think, because sugars can make their way throughout the entire body very quickly, so they won't have to move in order to feed. Proteins tho, are slower to move around the body, so that will attract them back to your gut.

[Monique]

it's the ascaris worm, it was verified by a QXCI/SCIO scan. They look like earth worms and are very mobile.

this is a nightmare

Can you get this drug? Maybe online from Canada?

The phenomenom with migrating parasites is called Visceral Larva Migrans

and its not true that the parasite cannot complete its lifecycle in humans.
The thing is that these test are very poor and the chance that they will show "something" is very small. Many people go undiagnosed because the test methods are poor, and doctors often start with a stool test which is like "russian roulette" in this case. Best thing to do I guess is a biopsy and MRI anc CT scans, maybe cholangiography in the liver.
How do one even tells this to a doctor.

Either way, killing the larvae seems like a difficult thing to do when its scattered all over the body. I am not sure that they will "migrate" back to the gut?
