Hi Syed

You may be interested to read my articles. I present a new take on blood and lung physiology that dismisses the gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

My take is mammalian physiology runs on salt plus water. It’s hydration that supports healing. Dehydration is the insult that causes dis-ease. Hydration equals salt plus water.

I’d like to bring to your attention the role of sodium in pain management.

Excerpt: Perhaps even more spectacular are congenital [sodium] Nav1.7 mutations that completely eliminate the sensation of pain in affected individuals 13. In such individuals, stimuli such as contact with sharp objects or burning hot materials fail to elicit any painful sensations at all. The mutations responsible for this phenotype also completely eliminate the functionality of the Nav1.7 [sodium] isoform, providing further proof for the essential role of this channel in pain sensation.

Sodium being a big player in pain.

If you look at peripheral neuropathy, diabetics suffer this condition, it is I contend a result of sodium deficiency.

Excerpt: Low serum sodium levels were independently associated with DPN, even within the normal range of the serum sodium.

When you look at a blood test, the magnitude of sodium and chloride quantities required from the rest of the electrolytes should be a huge tell in their roles to create wellbeing.

How does salt restriction lead to heart dis-ease and fear based reactionary thinking?

I explain the physiology of hydration and how the adrenals run the show with dehydration. Chronic dehydration results in chronic adrenal control.

Here’s the relationship to pain

Excerpt: The distinction between excitation and excitability is important because of its implications for drug action on normal and ectopic pacemaker sites, prolonged ectopic discharge, and neuropathic pain. A very large number of physical and chemical stimuli are able to depolarize and excite excitable neurons. These include, for example, mechanical force, temperature, histamine, bradykinin, noradrenaline, prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators, and pH. The elimination of any one of these, such as by using specific pharmacologic agents, leaves all of the others still in play. In contrast, if excitability is suppressed, the cell loses its ability to respond to all depolarizing stimuli. The encoding (pacemaker) process can be thought of as the outlet of a funnel. It is a uniquely powerful point of access and control for pain signals.

Noradrenaline is a trigger for pain and chronic dehydration and subsequent adrenal control creates the conditions for this to play out. The adrenals produce all their hormones in an emergency/hyponatremia not just aldosterone.

When salt is restricted mammalian physiology is compromised and how this compromise is resolved determines an individual’s expression of dis-ease.

Eg my grandmother lost her sight and hearing gradually as she aged. Her daughter has dementia. In my books both result from sodium restriction via the propaganda dressed up as a health directive.

Chronic dehydration causes sticky instead of slick. Dryness instead of moisture. Electro-potential requires moisture to move ions across membranes.

So I say, know all the signs of dehydration and remedy them with salt plus water to facilitate healing. This being the very basis of health.
