i am, along with my wife, trying to find creative ways to lower our sodium intake.
the aha recommends a diet consisting of less than 1500 mg of sodium daily - yet most americans eat at least twice that.
i believe now, having spent most of a morning looking through grocer shelves to determine sodium levels, that twice the level might actually be a very low estimate.
I don't doubt that salt is the culprit, but I just want to know the mechanics instead of just being told "it's bad."
It's like "bad colesterol" God invented it. It reacts with sunlight to form vitamin D that has to be there in order
for the body to absorb calcium. But they keep calling what God invented, "bad."

"In a controversial move, the Obama administration has decided to lift Tariq Ramadan’s ban from the United States. Who is Tariq Ramadan? By birth, he is the grandson of Hassan al Banna – the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). By word and deed, he is today a leading member of the European branch of the MB.
The MB is the mother organization for some of the terrorist groups that became part of al Qaeda’s core, including Ayman al Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Osama bin Laden himself was first wooed to the dark side by Muslim Brothers teaching in Saudi Arabia. The MB has also spawned other hardcore jihadist organizations, including Hamas. While the MB’s descendents have publicly disagreed over tactics at times (for example, Zawahiri has taken issue with Hamas’s participation in Palestinian elections), they still share the same long-term strategic vision: the re-establishment of an Islamic Caliphate capable of ruling the Muslim world and challenging the West.
And that is what Tariq Ramadan believes in too. At the Counterterrorism Blog and on his own website, Douglas Farah explains:
As noted in this extensive review of "Brother Tarik: The Doublespeak of Tarik Ramadan," by French journalist Caroline Fourest, the definitive look at Ramadan's cannon, he is intent on saying one thing to Western audiences while something else to his followers. They often do not match up......." http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/victory-muslim-brotherhood

Somebody said something once about "morbid fascination."
It's like we lost the love of our life that betrayed us and can't forget and can never love again.
And so this is like an opposite gender haters club.

Why does salt make you retain fluid. Salt makes you sweat.
"Drs don't really know..." - I'll go along with that.

Has anyone seen any explanation of why salt raises blood pressure?
As I heard Joel Wallach of "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" www.wallachonline.com
"The first thing a farmer puts out for his livestock is a salt lick. And he doesn't say,"
"Now Bessy, you can only have one lick."
jehovah's name people have delighted in recent refinements in understanding coming through god's slave class at the direction of holy spirit.
these adjustments in thinking have at times required humility and reasonableness to be exhibited by longtime servants of jehovah.
consider, for example, the recent information showing that we could not put an exact timetable on the calling of those to serve along with christ jesus in the heavenly kingdom.
This is what happens when you start with error and add logic.
i'm still just trying to understand ..... what is the real essence of why the leaders at the very core of this religion do what they do?
i assume they are all in the 144k, so i get that.
but i mean ... that can't be the entire motivation for all this misery.
The Epistemological Cartel
"In The Architecture of Modern Political Power, Daniel Pouzzner outlines the tactics employed by the elite to maintain their dominance. Among them is: 'Ostensible control over the knowable, by marketing institutionally accredited science as the only path to true understanding' (Pouzzner, 75). Thus, the ruling class endeavors to discourage independent reason while exercising illusory power over human knowledge. This tactic of control through knowledge suppression and selective dissemination is reiterated in the anonymously authored document Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars:............."

Kervorkian's Fourth Law
"[The others are: 1) "All Governments Lie, and They Tell Their Biggest Lies To Their Own People"; 2) "People Like To Be Lied To, and The Bigger The Lie, The Easier to Believe"; 3) "All Evil Is Done In The Name Of Good, and The Greater The Evil, The Greater The Good Claimed For It."]"

Tyranny of the Majority
"A fear expressed variously by Plato, Aristotle, Madison, Tocqueville, and J. S. Mill. If the majority rules, what is to stop it from expropriating the minority, or from tyrannizing it in other ways by enforcing the majority's religion, language, or culture on the minority? Madison's answer in The Federalist is the best known. He argued that the United States must have a federal structure. Although one majority, left to itself, would try to tyrannize the local minority in one state or city and another majority, left to itself, would do the same in another, in a country as large and diverse as the United States there would not be one national majority which could tyrannize over a national minority. But if there was, the powers which the states retained would be a bulwark against it. The separation of powers among legislature, executive, and judiciary at federal level would be a further protection against majority tyranny.
Critics of Madison have pointed out that his formula gives no protection to minorities which do not form a local majority anywhere. In particular, the Madisonian constitution gave no effective protection to black Americans until the 1960s, largely because the states' rights which Madison thought it so important to protect were used by the white majorities in the Southern states to oppress the local black minorities..............."
