Hi Eric,

Marc,
I found a source for raw, natural Celtic sea salt that sells in bulk - no additives. Would this be a good alternative to the pills.

-----------------------
Yes, in fact, I recommend having some of this type of "full-mineral" salt to use alternately with the pills, and even on its own during stiff herxes, because of the additional minerals and lymies being so depleted in then chronically. 

Just a bit of feedback about my second day of trying this, albeit a a low level. My scalp feels like it is moving or something crawling in it. Very weird. I also am getting the same feeling in my face. I haen't experience anything like a herx yet, but my levels are way to low most likely. I have been following a no salt diet for years so even a couple of grams a day is a lot for my system. Perhaps if I had been enjoying those pretzel rods all my friends were eating, my lyme wouldn;t have got so bad...lol. Oh well onward and upward.
Salt on!
Eric

LOL!  yes, my friend, you are starting to have an effect already even at the low levels!  You make a very good point about being on a low-salt diet for years.  I did too as a result of holistically handling an acute arrythmia years ago.  However, I am now re-looking closely at this whole area as whether or not the low-salt (good salt that is) created an inadvertent "hole" in the immune.  Having experienced first-hand the effect of good salt upon microbes I begin to think so.  For the body itself used salt in the stomach (hydrochloric acid from the stomach and sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas) to produces salt to kill microbes in the in the duodenum naturally.  The reason for salt in sweat and in tears is to provide an "antimicrobial" barrier at the skin and eyes exposure areas, and so on.  You will notice when folks go to a hospital ill, one of the first things done is a saline drip right into the veins.

be prepared for some potential exodus of microbes in the areas you feel the crawling, twinging, etc.  We have had researchers see small micro-like worms existing the skin.  Some have seen them coming just out of lyme-effected area which points to the lyme/nematode correlation the lymphotos site discusses.  The authors mention their own experiences with this and one of our researchers had some existing the tongue(!)

Onward and Upward!
