so what your saying is i'm overly mineralized. and completely removing salt from my body is the answer. because i doc crave salt alot
Brief Answer:
Reduce salt intake.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
I am sorry that you got confused. I wanted to explain you that treatment with cell salts, will cause more minerals in body, causing water retention. It should be avoided in present situation. You can continue with other therapies as suggested earlier.
You cannot remove salts completely as salts are necessary to maintain fluid in our body. If excessive, it can cause water retention and further complications.
If you have a craving for salt and you take it excessively, it could explain your water retention. You need to cut down and get to minimal salt. Increased salts intake could lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease and multiple organ damage. Keep you salt intake to minimal.
Hope it helps.
