Warning

I am a critical care (certified) RN with 24 years experience. During that time I have seen several patients admitted for a high alkalosis condition brought on by regular (daily) ingestion of Himalayan mineral salt or baking soda. The mineral salts have a pH around 8.4. These patients required immediate placement of a breathing tube and mechanical breathing support. The normal pH of the blood is a very narrow 7.35 to 7.45. This balance is necessary for the proper functioning of all organs (think heart! , brain!), furthermore this balance is delicately managed by the lungs and kidneys and it takes the body far longer to respond to and correct high alkolosis than it does high acidosis. Proper pH testing and monitoring should be performed while using this type of therapy.

Himalayan Salt Brine. I am a 31yr old female with CF. I've been drinking Himalayan salt brine for 6 months now and my PFT's have improved and overall feel very good. Also I have Himalayan salt lamps placed throughout my house and use Himalayan salt on my food, not table salt. Also there is a Himalayan salt cave close to my house that I visit approx 2 times per month. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
