An acquaintance of mine just posted this on another forum and I had to provide the info here. After a few days of the watercure...I seem to be doing much better. Here is his testimony!

What makes anyone do anything for 9 months without results? I guess it's knowing at the core, the protocol contains an obvious TRUTH. How can a high mineral, vitamin and live carbon drink NOT make you better?

My story is unique from what I've seen. For years, I'd been drinking too much water, up to 2 gallons in extreme heat, and had an almost unquenchable thirst to boot. I knew something was seriously wrong. Every time I'd try the protocol, it would make my thirst worse. I knew there was something I didn't understand, yet I didn't know what. I tried several variations of kelp & ingredients, but figured that it was something more fundamental, something not related to the drink.

Over a period of 9 months, I began deprogramming my mind from the lies I'd been fed for years. One of the most fundamental, was the inaccurate perception that you can have too many vitamins & minerals (you can; if it's synthetic). That meant the iodine in kelp, vitamin d & a whole other host of things. It took a serious illness to break down one that stood in my way; 'too much salt'. We've all heard this, it's common health knowledge that you should only have a limited amount of salt each day. I was bound by this through years of programming. Besides, whenever I'd eat salt, it would always taste pleasant, yet bland.

Last week I got very ill through fault of my own. I had just moved out the country and by chance, happened to have some sea salt in my bag. During this time I couldn't eat, and felt very thirsty, yet when I started eating the salt, the thirst subsided quickly. I ate more salt, but my past beliefs kept telling me "don't have too much, it's bad for you". However my body's response told me otherwise. As I got better I thought there maybe something in this. I added large quantities of salt to everything, my drinks, food, I even ate it straight into my mouth. Eventually the salt no longer had it's bland taste, it became too strong to eat. My body was telling me I gotten enough. The thirst problem, which had affected me for around 5 years, had gone... Let me repeat that, without changing anything else apart from the salt in my diet, a health problem that affected me for 5 years of my adult life, disappeared overnight!

I was elated. Then I got even more excited. I recalled the sodium/potassium ratios balance in the body and had a great feeling that reason the drink hadn't been working had something to do with it. The recommended diet (high vegetables), when followed strictly, made me ill. It knocked me out almost to sleep. On the flipside; junk food alleviated this and made me feel much better. I thought it could be because of two things, the drink and diet were too high in potassium and my stomach acids were very low. Junk food was the opposite, it was very high in sodium and easy to digest. I reasoned that if I pushed up my sodium amount, not only would I be able to start eating much better and increase my stomach acids (which is made from the chloride of salt), but the drink would start working and I would get the coveted energy rush everyone talks about.

I knocked up a tablespoon of AN kelp, mixed with lemon juice to eat separately. I added a tablespoon of BSM & 1/2 a lemon, but I didn't have any lime water to hand. I also added as much extra salt whenever I felt a thirst to balance the potassium. When I carefully began to take it over a period of 2 hours I soon noticed a slight tingling in the back of my head. The slight tingling suddenly became a spark. My brain started to clear up, focus increased and I became very aware... In that moment, I realised that 9 months of hard work had finally paid off. The drink started working! I was almost in tears. I knew that at last, I was digesting large quantities of minerals. The real repair work had begun...

At last I can say; "the protocol works". Thank you Moreless, for you have changed my life and all those that contributed to it. Thank you to everyone else on the forum for everything you've written and I've attentively read. The regulars and non-alike. Thank you to Weston A. Price, the author of Nutrition & Physical Degeneration for originally exposing the uncommon truths to me. Thank you for my creator for giving me a brain to allow me to endure the hardships, the intelligence to figure out, giving me the faith to proceed and tenacity to stick to it when all around doubted.

I hope anyone reading this, who's been having trouble will keep researching, spending time figuring it out. There's much that's gone into reaching this point today, the hardest being changing of bad habits and creating new ones. I remember coming to the testimonial forums many times just to keep me going and moving forward. I hope my journey helps you.

Although my journey back to health is far from over, I feel incredibly blessed. I'm in my mid 20s, I'm already very successful for my age and this will allow me to give so much more back to humanity in the years to come.

Celtic Salt and Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome with Brain Fog

Source: Salt Your Way to Health, 2nd Ed., p. 102,2010 by David Brownstein, MD -- ( WeLib.org )

A low-salt diet can actually make the body sodium deficient. The adrenal glands will sense an inadequate salt intake and take action to help the body absorb more salt from the diet. As depicted in Figure 2, aldosterone is the hormone secreted from the adrenal glands to help the body increase its absorption of sodium from the diet.

Sodium levels need to be maintained in a tight range in the serum. If not enough sodium is ingested, aldosterone levels will increase to help the body retain more sodium. This will result in water moving from the intracellular ocean to the extracellular ocean. If this situation occurs over a long time, the cells will become dehydrated and their energy production will decline. This can be the start of chronic illness.

Aldosterone also causes potassium and magnesium levels to fall. Ingesting refined salt will worsen the situation, since it is already deficient in magnesium and potassium. Thus not only will the cells be dehydrated, but they will also lack basic minerals such as magnesium and potassium. The end result is that the cells are unable to produce energy and fatigue will set in. Unhealthy cells are targets for cancer and other chronic illnesses to take hold.

CASE STUDY: Ben, age 41, got the flu five years ago. “One day I was well, the next day I had the flu. I expected to feel better within a few days. However, I never recovered. Now, I constantly feel tired and my brain is foggy. I can't even exercise, as it makes me more tired. As an attorney, I can'tfeel like this. I have to get my brain back, ” he said. Ben was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome six months after he became ill with the flu. Ben said, “My doctor could make the diagnosis, but he could not offer a treatment plan. He said there is no treatmentfor chronic fatigue syndrome. ” When I saw Ben, he had many of the clinical signs of dehydration (dry skin, dry tongue, ridges on the nails, and dry skin). In addition, he had orthostatic hypotension, which is a sign that the adrenal glands are not optimally functioning. Before his laboratory results were back, Ben was placed on unrefined sea salt (1/2 teaspoon twice per day) and told to drink two liters of pure water per day. When I called him to discuss his laboratory values two weeks later, he was already doing significantly better. “I couldn't believe it. After three days of water and salt, my energy started returning. Within a week, I was not exhausted after work. I was amazed that just water and celtic salt could do this, ” he claimed. Ben was prescribed a holistic treatment plan of vitamins, minerals and natural hormones, based on his laboratory values. Within five months of starting this holistic treatment plan, Ben made afull recovery.
