Hi Edward,
I worked at a vitamin store for 3 years and I learned that heart failure could be due to a B vitamin deficiency (I can’t remember which B vitamin….B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, or B12). Also, some people’s livers don’t properly process their B9 or B12 vitamins so, to be on the safe side, it’s best to take the “methyl version” of B9 and B12 (“methyl folate and methyl cobalamin”).
Be Well….

I guess it depends on the person, I know I needed to add a little salt to my diet to balance hormone levels, even if it is half a teaspoon.

This article fails to address the effects of salt on people who are salt-sensitive, like me. If I eat soups like miso or even chicken noodle soup (some are low sodium), my blood pressure increases 10-20 mmHg. That increases
your chances of a stroke severalfold. I use potassium salt, which can lower blood pressure. Like most nutrition articles on the internet, this is to sell something, and it is very misleading. I doubt this will be published, I don’t see anyone talking about the risks of too much salt.

I have to have sea salt sometimes.
If I don’t I can get sick.
Once, I was very confused.
My friend took me to the emergency room right away.
They said I had Hyponatremia.
The Dr. said my salt level was so low, I could have gone into a coma.
Hypo means low.
Thanks to the doctor for diagnosing that right away.
It saved my life.

In reply to Frank G.. Thank you very much for your interesting ‘salty’ article.! I am 87 years old and I take about 2.5 gems of salt in food daily. I have been maintaining good health all through!
