A study of one: I found that salt increases my sensitivity dramatically

Neo
First half of this year I loaded up on salt because I had believed it was good for me.  I was probably consuming a tsp or more a day on top of whatever sodium were in my foods.  
I started to get more and more sensitive and thought at that rate, I wasn't going to last very long, it was that bad.

When the gym opened up a few months ago I started doing saunas and loaded up on more salt in my water bottles during my gym and sauna sessions.  Little did I know that sweat didn't excrete nearly as much salt as I was taking to replace it.  After showering and getting dressed in the locker room I would begin to feel way more sensitive than before.  I thought maybe all the sweating dehydrated me, but I drank a liter of water during to avoid painful urination after saunas due to dehydration and crystalizing whatever it was in my urine. Which worked, so I didn't think I was not getting enough water.

Then one night, I had a salt craving and took a good pinch of sea salt from Baja Mexico - the most expensive kind with all kinds of claims.  And like 10-20 minutes later started feeling very numb and exposed to emf's but I had not done anything or changed my location in my faraday cage. So it was easy to suspect the salt.   If it were true then I would know if I stopped my salt consumption during my saunas and what do you know, after cutting out all salt, I did not become super sensitive after my sauna and shower.
I then look up salt and symptoms of MS, nerve pain etc and found some info.

Salt also upregulates two immune responses,

I had been poisoning myself with all the salt... Just a minimal emf exposure for 20 seconds walking to throw away the garbaged numbed me up for 2 hours. it was that bad.
Cutting out the salt has brought my sensitivity back to where it was, severe. Maybe I need to flush out more salt from my epithelial of my veins and veins where it salt is also stored. (New science discoveries of salt containers in body - three containers vs only 2 as previously though (blood and intracelluar)

Please try and report back to add to this study of one.

This is a serious contradiction to another post about taking salt to cure EMF sensitivities.  I'm surprised no one is talking about this factual information.

Well, I'm sure it has more to do with your actual current salt status than anything else.  I once felt a whole lot better after eating some salted french fries, but was never able to repeat that again. :-)

That's precisely the point.  Salt is major factor. Salt also causes calcium loss(link to osteoperosis). Say that hormones are released or triggered to release calcium from bones, and floods the blood with a little too much calcium thereby increasing calcium available into calcium channels that are open during exposure?

Your case is a one off and since you have not been able to repeat it, then we can't say. I have been able to repeat it, and since I've stopped sprinkling salt, I have not had that level of numbing reaction just from 20 seconds out of my faraday cage in minimal RF exposure levels. I'm talking about les than 0.01mW/m2!

Salt increases conductivity which leads to diseases and cancers in animal studies of lactating cows I believe.  And they reduced it by giving them vitamin E and selenium which they claim reduces conductivity, and from that the cows were healthier and and produced more milk than be before.    

This is very important information that all EMF sufferers should be aware of, and experiment with to see if it applies in their case and report back in order to collaborate this data.  I am certain of the validity in my case but it would be nice to get more confirmation data.

If sodium affects you, perhaps try potassium and find your optimum level?  That's the mineral most similar to sodium.

Homoeopathic provings of salt (NATRIUM MURIATICUM) yield the symptom
"Oversensitive to all sorts of influences". (William Boericke: Homoeopathic Materia Medica).
This means that a homoeopathic potency of salt may cure hypersensitivities.

At least this solves the contradiction.

I don't understand, does the book agree with me that salt increases my sensitivity and causes bad symptoms?

"This means that a homoeopathic potency of salt may cure hypersensitivities."

Is this saying salt may cure hypersensitivity?

I have such a hard time comprehending what the heck the link below is advocating for - salt or no salt? Is something wrong with me? lol

Sorry, it probably takes a basic knowledge of homoeopathic medicine to understand this.

After some more reading it sounds like some sort of salt mixture to cure all kinds of ailments...
I can't find any details of what the other ingredients are so I can't say if it contradicts my experience with salt as there could be some sort of synergistic effect that causes a positive effect.

Your not alone. I've noticed excess salt intake increases my sensitivity. I'm 46 years old and since last year I noticed I was prehypertension. I decided to take maters into my own hands and decrease my sodium intake to the recommend 1500mg per day or damn near close since I realized I had been massively over doing it (probably close to 3000 a day). I do 16 hour fasts and eat 2 meals with less then 1500mg of sodium and tons of vegetables and nutrient rich food I can afford. What I have noticed is that if I go off the rails by eating out (i.e. donuts, chipotle, excess salty chips with salsa, excess sugar free deserts but more sodium, etc), not only will I get a blood pressure spike headache my emf sensitivity is through the roof. Were talking being in a low emf environment with say my phone in airplane mode, location services off, hooked up to ethernet, device held by a metal arm, and only typing with one hand, and it feels like my head is underwater almost instantly and takes a very long time to subside. I know this is anecdotal but it definitely seems to affect me.

Thanks, what you've described is exactly what my experience is with salt now. It increases sensitivity very dramatically. I'm in my shielded van using my laptop just fine until I decide to take a pinch of salt by itself and then some minutes later the feeling of exposure and inflammation starts coming on strong. And I'm the same way, when it's that strong it takes a few hours to subside. I on the other hand was always on the low end for blood pressure and probably borderline hypo now even with the same or more amount of salt that you consume.  I was doing a ton this year, breakfast lunch and dinner and a teaspoon for gyms and saunas.

 This makes me believe more and more MS has a lot to do with electrical sensitivity as it is now well known that salt can trigger flair ups for people with MS.  Salt also upregulate a couple immune cells or proteins.
There is also the myelin connection with ES and MS.  

This is what I wanted to bring attention to so that people can be aware and we can have some statistics and then build on our knowledge to get better.
