 Mixture Method

.(Th

(Thanks Pascal:-)

Our good friend, Pascal, came up with an approach to doing the salt/C each day that involves mixing both the salt and Vitamin C together in a container with pure - an entire day's supply - and then doing it throughout the day.

We are suspecting there may be a chemical reaction as well with this method.  It is known sodium chloride changes slightly when mixed into water.  The addition of the ascorbic acid (C) may create a further change, reaction (synergy?) and are asking any chemists out there to provide any feedback they may have on this subject.

Below is the outline of the "Mixture Method" and experiential notes, with gratitude to Pascal.

Note: the notes below are experiential, research information only for researcher review.  It involves the anecdotal, experimental salt/C research protocol, and experiences, results of any other researcher may be different.  No attempt or effort is made to imply the following is usual, typical, etc., but simply informational only.  Please see all disclaimers regarding the protocol being experimental, private research and is NOT a substitute for a doctor's care or treatment plan.  We encourage discussion of the procotol with your doctor and invite any healthcare professional to review and provide any feedback or observations as regards any patients examining this protocol under his/her care.

Mixture Method

"1.  I fill one reg. glass (250-300 ml - or 8-10 oz) with warm water (not hot)

2.  put 20-22g of salt in the water, (if I fill one regular spoon (tablespoon) with as much salt as possible (it starts to pour of) it's about exactly 22g)

3.  same volume (different weight) of C.... 15g..this varies though because of humidity and crystal size of the salt and for the C powder because of difference in density of different products I guess). So a good scale is best!

4.  first dilute the salt then add the C.... and it reacts slightly fizzy, yes!  Never use a metal spoon, plastic or wood is much better. I think the S/C reacts with the metal.

5.  Through the day, say 8-12 times I'd take a sip of my quite concentrated "holy juice", after a sip, flushed with nice, fresh water so the taste doesn't stay so strong...by the late evening my glass would be finished.  When...I finished it before, I made a new mix and drank even a little more on that day, I really think the one full glass is enough for a day though). I didn't do it right on the hour... I would drink two sips after/with meals... and through the day plenty of little doses, trying to get it right with the timing on finishing it by late evening... that's easy after a few days of trying. 

"Maybe a special little drinking bottle would be even better.  One could take it around and even have some marks on the bottle that measure the % or tell the daytime when to arrive at a certain mark.
Probably because I started with full amounts (not to be recommended when you still have bad lyme) I thought the taste was nasty... now I like to drink it...(!)  Hope the ones who'll try this, like it a lot and find out that it does a good job for them too."


Note:  
Some researchers have found adding a little lemon juice enhances the "mixture method", both in terms of a pleasant taste and with the beneficial properties of lemon which include:
high in natural vitamin C, natural bioflavanoid complex, high in ionic electrolytic minerals (especially potassium), is a natural anti-microbial, surfactant, astringent, slight diuretic, detoxifier, cleanser, fat emulsifier, etc.

"Hi Saltgang, 

"I'm amazed !!   After 2-3 years of ridding lyme (obviously, due to all the herxes) with different pieces of equipment and gaining my life back slowly but surely over the last 20 months, the last ten days, being on the salt and C were much like a rapid time trip through a number of symptoms and reactions from the hole period of being sick with lyme from summer 2002 till now. And: (!)  on day eleven of the protocol I woke up just fine. I mean perfectly fine and strong and well and symptom-free and happy !!!!!

"is this it....? 

"Let me tell you a little how this went for me...

"I have to start with the question, if my way of taking the Salt and the vit C is (officially) correct and if I can forward it like that to my group. (it seems to work) I mix  14-15g of natural (no additives) atlantic-sea-salt from my healthfood store with 12-13g of pure Vitamin C powder in one big glass of water. I finish the glass through the day by drinking little amounts appr. every hour or so.  any comments please...

"For the first day or two on the S-C I was not sure if I was still having that nasty cold I had just overcome when I started with the protocol or if this was already reacting.. by now the picture is pretty clear..the symptoms were nightsweats, muscle-trembles, itching at the spot where the tick got me (!), swollen eyes also dry and itching, aching joints, very low energy. "movement-sensations" in muscle tissues, especially in my left leg, where problems were generally high.. head aches, hurting lymph nodes all over, two times I had the sensation of something stinging through my skin from the inside out for like half a minute (!)... etc.

"I was feeling sick again but as an experienced herxer I was feeling save. I didn't have any symptom that could have come from the S-C, like problems with digestion etc. it was all a bunch of terrorized bugs goin' nuts all over and loosing it. That's my conclusion, now, because I feel amazingly well and in peace, something very good has happened, it reminds me a lot of how it was before I ever had lyme. 

"I might experience "some more trouble" I guess, but somehow I wouldn't also be surprised if this has knocked out huge amounts of bugs and there might be not many left..I'm afraid.  It seems much more broad-band effective than what I've experienced with rifing so far, where we do kill some of the bugs but obviously leave some too, or I wouldn't have reacted like this.. 

"What I love so much about the whole idea is, that no matter what bug it is or even if it's one that hasn't got a name yet, it might just go to hell anyway.
