I've always craved salt and eat it liberally. When I was a child I would salt ham, my mom was aghast, lol. My BP is normally low and my RHR is around 70. I used to have orthostatic hypotension when I was a young woman, and I ate more salt to try to combat it. I had surgery in June and my Na, K and Cl were normal. I'm almost 64. Thank you Dr. Berry and Dr. Dinicolantonio for good common sense research.
Awesome! Salt is required for health! Here's my fav: amzn.to/2yJXt4h
KenDBerryMD I know that salt is good because every once and a while I crave salty food...Keto is such a good diet to be able to listen to what your body wants and when you actually are hungry....sugar diet blunted so many things imo
You are no way nearly 64. I have regularly been made to feel awful for using salt. Especially as a child. It's the only advice I ever ignored xx

@junbug1029 - What type of surgery did you have? How are you now?
Had an uncle. Passed a few years ago. Salted everything. Apples, cucumbers, peanut butter, everything. Everyone told him he'd have a stroke or heart attack. Well...even with COPD he outlived his two siblings who were the loudest critics of his salt consumption. One didn't make it to 60. The other didn't make it to 65. He made it to 87.
what type of salt did ur uncle eat? i wonder what caused his COPD, did he smoke , drink alcohol?
@@incorectulpolitic we will neer know
My Papaw salted everything. He died from complications of appendicitis at the age of 94.
The salt is bad when you have Sugars , carbs and Dairy
@@christophercaro5201 Why dairy?
I took care of my mother for several years before she passed. She had type 2 diabetes and bad swelling in her feet and lower legs. Her doctors kept telling me to limit her salt because of the swelling. I literally took all salt out of her diet, per their advise, and all the while she was craving and begging me for salt. I talked to her kidney doctor, the last doctor she saw, about her cravings and he told me to not give into her because it would be harmful for her. Five days later my mother passed away. The kidney doctor called me two days after her death and said I needed to bring her in ASAP to have another blood test done because her sodium level was dangerously low and they needed to make sure this was true. I told him I couldn't do that, he said " you don't understand this could be life threatening", I told him I couldn't bring her in because she had passed away two days ago. There was a long pause before he spoke and told me he was sorry. This makes me so furious I can't even believe it. 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the same horrible experience with my grandmother. I realized much later the lack of salt helped kill her. I miss her so much.
@@carriesilvinaespinozavilla5177 sorry for your loss
My condolences 🙏
Always Verify the M Deities advice, sorry about your mom.
Sorry about your loss. It really broke my heart just reading your story. I feel the same about my Sister I recently buried.
My doctor told me to salt all of my food to taste and to use AT LEAST half a teaspoon a day in whatever I wanted. He's by far the best doctor I ever saw.
Half a teaspoon is nothing...
The maximum amount recommended by OMS for an adult is about a teaspoon or 5 grams. My recommendation to anybody is to do bloodwork and general analysis at least once a year. Your body will indicate if you need more or less salt. Some adults might need 8 grams a day, while others might do very well with 3.
Half a tea spoon is like 1000mg or soup. Basically he told you not to have salt
That is unbelievable, my doctor tells me to eat less salt, also, my potassium levels have gone up so I have to eat low potassium food, it turns out, salt helps to regulate the potassium levels. Why isn't our family doctors familiar with all of this. THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr Berry.
Use magnesium it's very important 600mg morn n nite.
About 2 minutes in these guys told me more about salt than I’ve ever known.
Me too, and I’m an MD.
So when you crave salt and decide to ingest some, be sure potato chips aren't attached to it!
very true Denis
Aaawwww
Or margaritas or chocolate cake ‼️🤗
Cravings for chips = protein deficiency
@@carnivoroussarah wow really? I'd like to hear more...
I just watched your video on salt you did four years ago. When I was in basic training in 1969, back when we put a man on the moon, we had at our doorway in our barracks a container of salt tablets to take when we went out for training outside. We usually took 3 to six tablets, if someone decided to not take them they usually passed out and needed a medic. We didn't have the ignorrant guideline's that we have today, oh ya, we're also trying to figure out how to put a man back on the moon also....
Having salt through the day literally saved my energy levels, mental clarity, I am starting to dream again and I feel incredible. All because I used to think it was so evil because I don't even know why. Obviously don't go nuts, but start the day with a quarter teaspoon and during lunch and dinner, and reduce foods that have a high sodium intake naturally. It killed my sugar cravings too! Hope this may help someone.
Eating more salt helps many people fight their sugar cravings!
how long did it take for your body to recover? i just started to increase sodium today!
I must say... It is a relief to finally see someone make a distinction between the types of salt, instead of just talking about salt in general terms. NOT all salts are the same and most health professionals ignore that fact.
They keep saying in med school that "if you have hypertension, you'll have to take maintenance medicine forever". This changed my views on medicine.
I've seen a disturbing number of people on hypertensive drugs that went crazy and / or had strokes. Studies later concluded that hypertension drugs have no statistical effect on stroke prevention.
@@atari7001 that is insane.
I got my 87 yo mother with heart failure on the keto diet. She's doing so much better! She's still wedded to the salt myth so I'm going to show her this video. Thanks!
How is your mom doing?
Am 75 on keto lost 9 lbs but lately having severe leg cramps. Of course bought into a low salt diet years ago because of high blood pressure. I am trying to go off the medication, per suggestion of my doctor, but when I gradually use less, then my pressure goes up. I think it could have something to do with my body adjusting to Ketosis, instead of carbs or sucrose. Very new to Keto, about a month.
My Dad always enjoyed the use of salt. He said, salt was necessary for health, whenever anyone tried to give him grief. He passed from bladder cancer at 94. I’ve recognized that my Dad had a lot of natural understanding about everything, but only now, have I begun to appreciate it. A hard head I guess.
Wow I am so angry we have been lied to for so long and so thankful Dr Dinicolantonio that you are doing these studies and passing this along to us. Everything I hear tells me everything my Mom was doing was making her sicker. I feel so betrayed . You cannot imagine how helpful this was to hear. Thank you!!!!
Welcome :)
My sodium level is a little low in my blood. I use very little Himalayan salt because of high blood pressure.I will increase the salt. I will start putting it in my water. Can I put a pinch of salt in my warm apple cider vinegar, lemon drink in the morning?
You haven’t been “lied” go to pubmed and type atherosclerosis and sodium chloride and see what comes up. Then ask yourself why he chose not to tell you about it
Lorraine Woods-Moore get a blood pressure monitor if you haven’t already, mine shot to 190/95 and he said “no no I just wrote a book, I don’t give dietary advice”
I have had to monitor my blood pressure for over 10 years and am aware of what the readings are for me. Well I am off my blood meds and it is 135/84 lower than when on meds, so I am ok. I monitor my blood pressure and it has been over a month. I will keep an eye on it. Not only that my heartrate has decreased from 80 - 98 to 64 - 69 that makes me feel good, I was on a pill for that too but they did not work. but thanks
I went to the doctor a a few weeks ago and had high blood sugar (107) and elevated blood pressure (137/90). After 3 weeks of Keto diet and adding Redmonds salt to my diet liberally my sugar is in control and my blood pressure this morning is 122/80.
I love knowing that I won't die if I don't have another hit of crack. But I could die without salt
Holy cow! Just watched this video!! I have been eating LOW SALT for years because of high blood pressure and my Dr told me to eat low salt!! I LOVE salt!!!
Bernadette Holmes eat eight celery stalks, twice a day. I have high BP as well. It goes way down , within days, when i do the celery protocol. I usually juice the celery.
@@willg4802 But don't hold the healthy mineral rich salt either! Your body has a sodium-potassium pump in every single cell! These two minerals are absolutely essential for staying alive and thriving.
Metaorange youre right and magnesium plays a pretty big role too.
@@metaorange302 You are absolutely right! The K/Na pump uses up about 30% (!) of all of the bodies energetic resources.
" REAL SALT "
Mom always had heart problems, she lived on a salt-free diet. I wonder now how much negative effect this had on her, thank you for this interesting discussion.
What happened after? Did she solved her health issues?
@@user-iw6vf4vl7n No
Did she increase her salt intake?
My dad killed himself on a no salt diet. He used potassium chloride on his food. He had congestive heart failure.
as a waitress in the 80s and 90s, one of the tricks of the trade was to salt the coffee grounds lightly before brewing the pot, as it cuts the bitter. interesting
Yes I always add a few grains of salt to my coffee it takes away the bitter taste
Just buy organic coffee, it's not bitter, just flavorful & sweet & u won't have to salt or sugar your coffee
Being a low carb long distance trail runner, I can assure you that the salt/sodium struggle is REAL. But once you get a handle on it and treat like it's the essential nutrient that it is, it is a game changer!
I heard and read if you're craving sugar to eat some salt. I tried it and it helped. I'm also a recovering diabetic.
I've wondering about that because there is salt in sugary foods. I will do the same and see if I crave less sugar. It has to be significant that the government experts say cut down on salt, but there's heaps in sugary foods!
How's the journey going
I like that “ recovering diabetic”
Try berberine for sugar get out. If it's high. Stay on carnivore n if u can limit carbs to 45mg. Then keep eliminating. Till the carnivore is all u eat.
Great information as usual!
I love salt. We can’t live without it. Didn’t it used to be used like money?
thats not a great argument and adds nothing to this. it was medievil age salt was paid to soilders, pretty much not a scientific paper today.
@Marilyn Flax You're right; the Roman army used to issue salt to its soldiers as part of their pay. I love how science is finally coming around to verifying the common wisdom of two thousand years ago.
The word salary literally came from “salt”.
Salt used to determine the outcome of wars.
Roman soldiers were paid in part in salt. That is also the source of the term salary...
omg this was so eye opening, I used to have frequent dizzy spells when I would stand up and never knew the cause.
I had that problem until i started adding extra salt--5 days ago
Same for me too. I use real salt on everything. Very liberally and I feel great! I was literally dying without it ! Meat fat too has been helping me.
I quit salt for 3 weeks and my vision went blurry. I spent over $1200 for a pair of prep glass. My dietition told me to cut salt, watch sugar, and fat intake so i follow. It was the worst decisions they gave me. I am so angry but its a learned experience.
@@Kuato there are too many foods we need to avoids for health reasons and not many good foods for us to buy. Get real foods and your health will take care of itself for the long term.
I'm having dizziness but it's nit cause of salt I eat salt tye good kind. Yes in your case it is caused by salt being low
Government and corporations definetly do want to save on Social Security and pension checks.
My daughter thought she could've had POTS a few years ago. She always craved salt. She got close to passing out many times that she had to sit and then lay down so that she wouldn't actually pass out. She made her own adrenal cocktail with cream of tartar, pink Himalayan salt, and fresh unpasteurized orange juice. She made 8 oz each day to take 4 oz twice a day, an hour before eating. It worked for her POTS symptoms. It's been a few years now and she doesn't have those symptoms anymore.
I have been taken in by the limited salt myth most of my life. Interestingly my grandmother (born in 1902, prior to all the modern nutritional guidelines) told me if you get cramps at night have some salt. I have done this just put salt on my hand and eaten it. You don't care about salt recomendations when you have that severe pain. It works sooo fast. Just go back to bed....no more cramps. I will be having more salt every day now.
Thank you both so much for such quality nutritional information.
Salt & water alleviates pain.
Read Dr. Batman's book on " "Your body's Many Cries for water"
Thank you for touching on the fact that without all three: magnesium, potassium, and SALT are needed. Without all three you are unbalanced.
magnesium, potassium, and Sodium* which are all contained naturally in meat
Sodium chloride
@@spencersteele4492 many people need extra electrolytes added to their carnivore diet. Suit yourself but not everyone fits that mold.
All 3 are salts but yes need all 3 salts
Thank you so much for this information. I always feel lightheaded, dizzy, fatigued, and bloated.
I didn't eat salt for the last 35 years, I just started since I know you thanks Doctor Berry
I just ordered Dr. D's new book: Super Fuel and The Salt Fix. I am so happy to have found you 2 Doctors!! God has truly placed you both on my path and in my face!! lol... Hubby is type-2 diabetic, adult children are showing signs as well. Bless you both for reaching out to the masses. We need your messages, your truth, your positive vibes!! ♡♡
@Nancy - So sorry to hear that your husband is T2D, and your adult children are pre-T2D but the good news is it is reversible through diet and intermittent fasting. Dr. Jason Fung's videos of "The Aetiology of Obesity" talked about how to reverse T2D.
Nancy, research Jim Humble, MMS for diabetic cure. It is also a natural element that becomes salt in the body, apparently cures many other illnesses. Also research Dr. Seneff explaining the science behind it and why it works. Good luck !
*** Had to edit: 10 months into KWOE. Fasting BS 94, BP now normal 118/68.. Down 98 lbs. SO HAPPY!! I carry a cute little shaker of Pink Himalayan salt in my purse. I treat myself to some on a daily basis...in ADDITION to salting food while cooking.
Amen to your comment. I avoided salt for years. Lately I have been craving salt. Now I understand why. God did send me to this video!!
@@nancyarchibald9095 I carry a little salt shaker with pink Himalayan salt in my purse. I use at restaurants😁👍
I have three sons with Cystic Fibrosis. Problems getting enough salt is a major problem. One son has had problems with bone breaks and bone density. We were never told that inability to get enough salt could be weakening his bones as well as other CF patients. We really appreciate the information and we’ll be sharing this video with other families dealing with CF.
If healthy people should be eating more salt. That would mean a person with CF should eat even more salt. I have CF as well
I sincerely hope things are going well for you and your family. I just wanted to let you know that there are enzymes (Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, and Lumbrokinase) that help people with CF. I believe it’s Serrapeptase that has been studied most.
I also have two aldult children with CF. I am WAY into nutrition and had NEVER heard that low salt could contribute to bone weakness. Hope your kids are.doinf well. CF is quite a lifelong challenge.

Pre keto I craved popcorn & think that was because I wanted the salt.
Popcorn without salt is just crunchy cardboard. Haha
sooo much this!!!
I ALWAYS crave very buttery, salty popcorn after I'm sick (vomiting, diarrhea, etc).. it's absolutely the salt!!!
Ours always had sugar on it instead of salt.
@@rubenproost2552 sugar on sugar..eeee...
I agree! My wife eats her popcorn dry. Its so 😝 gross. I eat very healthy, but if I'm going to have popcorn, I douse that fucking bowl with butter and 🧂 ! I'd like to so that at the theater, but I fear that what they put on their popcorn isn't salted butter at all.
I’ve been doing a low carb keto like diet for a while to help with my narcolepsy. Lately I was getting really lethargic, couldn’t sleep, had headaches and high blood pressure. I took magnesium and potassium supplements and I wouldn’t feel any better when at first they helped a lot. My head would get cloudy and I’d wake up feeling drunk, in a tunnel, and it was getting worse. I had started eating healthier for the last month and I was gaining weight and all of these symptoms started showing up. I wouldn’t drink water preferring tea and couldn’t seem to pin down what was going on. It was a salt deficiency, by eating healthy I had inadvertently cut out salt and was drinking tea over water because of the sodium found in it along with the sugar which was satiating the craving.
Two days ago I figured this all out and I feel 100x better, all my muscles are sore which I haven’t reasoned why yet but my mind is clear and my blood pressure is down.
Salt your food people.
x read times, or just say much better
Himalayan salt plus wakame.
And avoid sweet tea sweetened with sugar 😊
I play ball in the middle 60's. Our coach gave us salt tablets. Mostly in the high temperatures in the south. He much have known something
My basketball coach would take us to macdonalds and buy us extra salty fries when we went to the city for tournaments

@carlestridge423 We were given salt pills during summer swimming lessons as kids in the 60s. They were pink.
Funny thing, I also remember being told that if you eat too much salt, you'll get "hardening of the arteries."
My daily glass of salt-water gives me a HUGE instant energy boost.
Same. Low thyroid, low energy, whatever...but salt helps a lot
How much salt do you put in your class of water? I just got my Redmond real salt in the mail today and want to start doing this.
@@Painfulwhale360 That depends. I estimate my body's need based on my energy level and carb consumption. If I'm fasting or stricter on carbs, I tend to do up to 1 tsp. At minimum, a pinch. Also, I judge based on how much salt I'm adding at meal time. For example, I tend to salt my steak heavily, so if I have a salty steak, I may not need as much in the water.
Big Pharma down voted this.
As always, another great informative video. Thank you good Dr's.
Big Pharma knows if you can be convinced to reduce salt, you will get sick and they can sell you more drugs.
how true.
Can the doc give you a Rx for salt? LOL
They want you ill so that the doctors prescribe you their drugs !!! doctors get a bung ,big pharma gets a bung ,then the hospitals get a bung when you’re really sick !!!! salt is almost free !!!! Drugs cost you a fortune !!!! It’s all about the money !!!!!! Your ill health is their road to wealth !!!!!
Wish I knew this years ago at 57 I am fit but this is just the start of a new me
Always a pleasure. I have been putting salt in my coffee for years. Learned that from my grandfather. It makes a huge difference
I used to think craving salt was bad. Thanks for the video
I checked the Redmon salt and the company said that yes it has a little iodine but not nearly enough to meet your daily requirement. Himalayan pink salt also has a little iodine in it but the same thing is true for it. So a person would need to supplement the iodine no matter which salt they are using.
Or use cranberry juice
@@Connorleadbeater1 The cranberry bushes must be growing near a salt water body or near the coast or it won't contain much iodine.
@@GailS.7777 They do. They are grown in and near marshes.
I mix in some iodized salt with the pink Himalayan I use. Also I eat seaweed occasionally (unfortunately, lots of seaweed snacks have vegetable oil on them so I have to watch what I buy and eat).
I have to put my stamp on this . .. .
This is the most important thing we need. . .
I’m a 34 year old male, about 15-20% BMI, high protein and clean diet. I work out regularly. My recent blood test said that I had a surprisingly high BUN of 29 in a range where the max was 20. My sodium was normal, chloride was low and potassium was perfect. I couldn’t figure out why my BUN was high, but I’ve aways tried to keep my salt low and water high. I’ve had frequent heart palpitations for the last few years. Introducing a lot of Celtic sea salt into my diet has fixed all of my problems.
Has this coninued?
@@markmiller6751 Yes, but I’ve upgraded to Baja Gold Salt as it has way higher mineral content than anything else. ~$20 on Amazon. I cook a lot of lean steak for myself each night and use grass fed butter and Baja gold salt liberally. I’m quite fit right now and have perfect heart rate, blood pressure, blood work, etc. I’m a carpenter that works frequently in the sun, but I’ve still dropped by water intake down and started eating more fruit during the day to avoid draining my electrolytes. I usually aim for slightly yellow pee, as if it turns clear I started feeling dehydrated and palpitations return.
@@4tounces thanks
Dr. Berry, thanks for this!
If you haven’t interviewed Dr Brownstein. Please do. His talks on iodine and salt are illuminating.
I have always said that whatever is in the media - do the opposite! Everyone is pushing low fat and low salt etc.
Great video and refreshing to listen to drs who know what they are doing. 👍😊💜
Dawn yep, based on a whole stack of science. Hundreds of thousands of scientists dedicating their life to finding mechanisms.
Media also pushes vaccines, coffee, alcohol, etc... do the research.
Ric Flare it’s called advertising, if you don’t like that then ditch your internet
My Healthobs I ditched television... internet will be next.
I think the biggest problem with a lot of today's "science" is that they go looking for elephants with a microscope.
I was always low salt. And yes, have had to be on blood pressure meds since 28 years old.
Now on keto, I have embraced different salts and even put a couple of turns of pink salt in my coffee every morning! I love it!
Wow! So for all these years I’ve been mislead about salt. I suffer hypertension and was told to not eat or limit my sodium intake. I don’t use salt when I cook anyway because most seasonings have a ton of salt already. Thank you doctors. 😊
I wish this stuff was common knowledge 2 decades ago. I nearly killed myself on a zero carb diet from fainting due to the low blood pressure. Was super tired all the time and had to stand up super slow not to get light headed. And all I needed was salt...
Salt added to food is corrosive to the blood vessels. Causes many hemorogic strokes each years. Asian get the most because they us so mich salt. Americans take first place for most ischemic strokes. Too much processed oil in a bottle of any kind is too concentrated to eat. But ok to eat the olive, same w/fruit. Eat the the whole thing not the juice. The fiber slows the spike in glucose. The oil is in every product in the grocery store and everything in the restaurant. It doesn't tske much to begin to coat the live but takes years, then it spills over to other organs then finally the belly as viseral fat. Good luck in your health journey
@@user-co5yp2jr8n what? Corrosion? Want to try again with a better word to describe what you are trying to say? Because it's surely not "corrosion". Copper pipes get corroded.
Table salt which has been refined and stripped of all minerals is probably not good for the body, but sea salt or natural salt does not appear to have any negative impact upon blood pressure according to studies.
Same happened to me. Accidentally went keto last week and must have peed 20 times a day.
@@user-co5yp2jr8n What you said is not based on science. I've been a dietitian since 1982! You need to do your homework from more reliable sources.
I take several pinches of salt before a workout, I get the energy and strength I need to do a high intensity workout. In the book You're Not Sick Your Thirsty, a pinch of salt is needed with drinks of water to replace hydration and minerals in your body.
What a great important interview!! Wow!! Incredible!! Thank you both!!
Hi Ken, how are you! Ken I need to tell you that you are the reason I started the Keto diet. I am 66 and I have been on the keto diet for close to a year and all I can say it changed my life in a pro founded way! Thank you!
Driving from Chicago to North Carolina just bought the Audiobook. Thanks for that conversation.
So I should tell my patients in ICU the opposite what the doctors tell them? You know they won't believe me 😭. Doctor vs. Nurse, I will lose.
Fantastic information. You doctors are saints. So grateful for this life-giving information.
The military knew how important salt is years ago. Why do you think there is salt pills that you where required to have in your packs. Always yelling to stay hydration and take the tablets out in the desert and working out in the field.

This is some amazing stuff! Doc, you’re helping many people regain trust in doctors.
We need more REAL Doctors like yourselves.... hard to find however. Thank you for this important info that is sooo desparately! Magnesium so helps my muscle and joint pain. Glad your not Drug Pushers in White Coats! 😊
If I have learned one thing, it is that the medical community with their obsolete guidelines that is greatly responsible for the poor health of this country. The standards of care for each area of specialization make people sicker. When I was in the Army we had salt tablets as part of our training.
H mm...never issued salt tablets in the army.
Totally agree n no one sues them. It's the higher up brainwash education system. The people who own the education system. Cuz other countries teach otherwise
I love you guys, you are changing my life! Keep publishing books!
The problem with humans is we have a choice wether to listen and take advice for ourselves or not. Animals, cattle, sheep ,horses, and others are not swayed by opinion or advice they crave salt because their OWN BODIES tell them it's what's required , simple as that. Do you ever have that salt craving ie chips , crisps, or savoury, it's the salt your body requires just like it does with the nasty addictive sweet sugar craving but that's because sugar is like a drug not something your body needs just craves and feeds the addiction. Love these new Dr's calling out the old school doctors with the misinformation we've been fed off them for decades. 👍😁😉
I have used Redmond Real Salt (I'm from Utah!) for 25+ years totally against doctor's orders. I refused to quit because I knew it had lots of other minerals. I recently began dabbling with the keto diet at my son's urging. Gave up most carbs right off and lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I have since lost 30+ lbs and have gotten cholesterol and triglyceride levels into normal range after many years of struggling with it. My doctor about lost his mind wehe I told him what I've been doing and told me eating fat was no good for me as he praised my latest blood panel results!!
Bob Tyree hahahaha thats great to hear!
Nice, keep it up👍👍
I just bought some Redmond salt a couple of months ago. It actually tastes better than other salts, including pink salts. So glad to have all this information available at a moment's notice.
As an engineer, I think doctors are morons..... A rarity for the field, Berry can at least think for himself, and respects the client as a partner.
@@dennisgarber Truly a great doctor that sincerely wants people to be healthier. He is very unselfish with the information he shares.
WOW! Most important video I’ve seen in a while. I remember my husband and I guiltily pouring salt over our pre-marathon breakfast years ago and wondering why we loved it so much. And yes, carb-loading never did jack for us when we marathoned.
Thank u doctors, now I know that SALT IS GOOD FOR ME
Thank you for this information. People are forever telling me I eat too much salt. For years I have told them I need it. This information proves me right.
Thank you so much for doing this interview! I'm always getting a hard time for eating "too much salt", but I crave it so badly. This vid is a keeper!
When I was a kid, I used to go out in the pasture and find a rock and knock a chunk out of the corner of the cow salt lick and carry that in my pocket. I’ve always been a salty dog. 61 now and NEVER had high blood pressure.
Yea Redmonds Real Salt! and I love their electrolytes!!
Thats is so interesting about the diuretic. My 91 yr old father was given diuretics in hospital while undergoing geriatric testing and they cut out all salt ... Cold turkey on salt. He died in 4 days. And they said he died from heart problems.
Hospital are a very safe place for induced dying
This is really good news. It would give my doctor a heart attack
Amazing both of you!! Thank you for opening so many people's eyes!!
Many thanks!
We need to share this folks!!!
This is very good. WHY IS THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY 45 YEARS BEHIND THOUGH?!?!
I have loved this talk a few times since I have gone to eating fatty meats (Carnivore) and salted to a yummy salty taste. This at the tisk tisk of family and friends, yet 1.5 years later I am getting more alive and alert with a 30kg weight loss and an increase of strength. hahahaha ED issues have also gone away right!
Congratulations!
My pantry is full of bags of Redmond's Real Salt (my grocery store had a clearance on it so I bought everything that was left ;)) and it tastes great!
well Im glad Im not eating too much salt. I have a small container of celtic salt on my desk which I put a crydtal of salt on my tongue to dissolve. I also carry a little bottle of it in my handbag. It stops sweet cravings and I seem to have a smaller appetite. Ive not had a cramp or dizzyness since Ive been eating this salt. Its suppose to have over 82 minerals.
I also take Sea kelp tablets for Iodine.
I take a small container of Real Salt in my purse.
Very sensible opinion . As a practicing clinician I fully agree with this idea of having adequate salt.
I’m on keto omnivore since March 2019, experiencing fatigue. 460 calcium score, sleep issues... really struggling. That’s why I’m listening.
Thank you Dr Berry for embracing and sharing expert knowledge such as Dr D's. It just demonstrates your totally unselfish approach to improving our health. Fantastic video - so enlightening and educational. Been doing Keto (probably more just high fat, low carb for 9 months now - admittedly still drinking red wine) and just can't stop it - the science behind it all, for me, makes it impossible to go back to eating any other way. I've lost 21 lb and am at an ideal weight now but worried about my continuing hair loss - hopefully it will grow back soon. Thank you again - in the UK.
Zinc for hair loss !!!
This is why my horses in the past had salt licks all the time ...the horse dosn' t think about it ..it just knows it needs it ...if we listerned to our body more we would consume the correct amount of salt .....
henrietta henson, Yes, we have horses as well. Also birds like to have cuttlefish, not just for their beaks but for calcium and salt with other minerals. On Keto and listening to the body for anything it needs.
So true.
Been listening to my body too. Apparently my body tells me it needs Zink, Magnesium, vitamine D3 (not D2, my body told me that) and lastly my body told me it needs vegemite. Didnt know what it was so I had to google it. Ordered it and the vegemite I will receive in a couple of days.
Yep!
okay but horse is am herbivore and they all go to salt licks because there is no sodium in plants unlike eating meat which contains sodium
I like Dr. Walloch's analogy...
"Farmers never stop Bessy from going to the salt lick, and you're smarter than Bessy!"
Eternal gratitude from me to you two doctors ! Now I can enjoy my food again ! I will also be buying Dr Nicolantonio's books !
One of the best and most important interviews I've seen on salt and diet.
This was one of the most important, informative videos I've watched it and it directly impacts my situation. I realize now based on the comments about coffee, exercise, BUN, and leg cramps that I am tending to run on not enough salt. I will definitely start using it before workouts. I have Redmonds and Himalayan but will gravitate in the future over to Redmonds exclusively. Thank you.
You're welcome!
For the last 8 years, it didn't matter how much salt I ate, or how little. My blood pressure was always through the roof. Since being on keto, I'm eating liberal amounts of salt and my blood pressure is around 126/85 pretty much all the time on the average.
That's a bit high. My insurer wants to see a BP lower than 120/80
115/70 is good.
@@UCanHaveHim yesterday mine was 115/69
@@veniqe they're wrong, up to around 130 is more than fine. The OP has perfect blood pressure readings. Once again, remember that these "doctors" want to sell your pharmaceuticals and hence the reason the numbers are lower than they should be
@@veniqe those numbers are on the low end
I'd like to have these books in actual book form.
Man, that was one of the best and most eye opening videos I've seen. It really makes me think about my Dad and his parents, and my mother's dad, all died of heart related illnesses. I even remember my granddad used the fake salt substitute when I was young. Disappointed, but explains some health issues, I'm dealing with.
Had a lot of problems with that when I was younger. If I got up too quickly from sitting/lying down I often "saw stars" and my legs would sometimes not carry me for a few seconds. Always assumed it was low blood pressure, however, all my life I've always craved salt.
WE paid good money for that feeling in high school...LOL
Was it low blood pressure?
I had the standup to the black view every month when I was a young menstruating woman.
Invaluable information. I'm always amazed at how much info...real info is out there. Thank you so very much!! For so long since finding out I have high blood pressure I've been told no more salt!! Afraid of fat, my mind is blown.
I have his book, it's excellent, and an eye opener. Loved the interview, Doc Berry.
Love this! Thanks so much for this great information!
Great interview! Definitely ordering both books and getting my salt tomorrow. Have been using sea salt.
I'm listening to The Salt Fix on audible right now! Thanks SOOO MUCH for this YT... the story and implications are ASTOUNDING! BTW, where's YOUR book? Still not on audible! I'll preorder as soon as it is ready! You BOTH are doing awesome work... thanks for being "beacons of reason"!...from a Keto convert!
This was a great video! Great information! Thanks!
When I used to eat a low-fat high carb diet, I always craved crisps, especially after exercise. I knew it was for the fat and salt but continued with my low-fat, low-salt diet because I had been convinced it was healthy. Thank goodness I now know better. Since going keto/carnivore and salting my food, I haven't had any cravings for crisps. My blood pressure has also come down since eating more salt and fat :)
The salt fix was the first food related book I had ever purchased!
Thank you for another great video.
This afternoon I just cooked bacon, calf liver, and fried eggs with Finlandia grass-fed butter.
(All with a generous amount of Redmond salt, btw)
Not being afraid of salt, butter, and bacon any longer, thanks to you, Dr. Berry, I'm enjoying my ketogenic foodie life!
are you still alive?
@@adrianavram4911 :)))
Just discovered the Finlandia brand myself. They had a BOGO on it. It tastes just as good as Kerrygold.
Good news. I started,5 days ago, eating extra salt. I ordered your book--it will come in tomorrow,September 15, 2020. I ordered it from Barns and Noble.I ordered it because I am 85 years old and in the last few weeks I have had a terrible time running out of energy.
I’ve been a long time eating very low salt . I’m 65. I get heart flutters. In the later part of the day. Now I add salt in everything I eat and drink, including coffee. I also exercise moderately.
Glad you switched!
In black coffee ☕, I started to add salt in my coffee over sugar, add cinnamon, black pepper, garlic powder (Yeah, I'm weird 😹😸), & ground ginger only in black. If I have to sweeten it up, just milk & cinnamon (use to add honey but not anymore) no creamers..
I was afraid of eating salt cause I hear that it's bad for you but now I don't question it & put more salt in food and drinks like coffee or hot water with APC vinegar & lemon with spices.
The reason why I put salt in coffee was a British UA-cam video on how salt gives more flavor to your coffee especially black. 😎👍
I ordered both of Dr Di"s books and Dr berry's book as well. Education is key so I now have alot to read up on.
I used (still do) iodized salt, normal table salt all my life. Cooking basicly daily for 40 + years raised up children grandchildren with very basic meat ( potatoes, just kiddin') and lots of veggies diet, and everybody healthy in my family. I am relatively healthy too. (almost 7X though) The only problem I have is I started to gain weight after my second baby and slowly slowly it got to a point I have to lose 50 LB. The mistake I made I listen to American diet ''experts'' and I drank skim milk and made many mistakes snacking as well, and too much fruit, but the cooking was the good old Hungarian style cooking at least, based on meat and butter and bacon and all that. Now I am going on KETO diet for sure. Thank you Dr. Berry for all the videos:BIG HELP. Thank you.
Very informative. Thank you, both.
Wonderful interview, thank you!
