An Idea That Might Help People Survive Ebola

[Villages PL]

I read in the Daily Sun that drinking a lot of salt water helps people to survive Ebola. The problem is this: It has been said that the salt solution tastes terrible so it's difficult to drink large quantities.

Well, here's what I suggest doing. Instead of serving plain salt water, serve the old fashion Chicken Noodle Soup. I don't know if they still sell it; it used to come dry in a foil pouch. You just add it to some boiling water and simmer for a few minutes. It had a few noodles and a chicken flavored bouillon cube. No actual chicken. One thing I remember about it, when my mother made it for me several decades ago, is that it was very salty.

Could this be the cure they're looking for? Chicken Noodle Soup?

We drink one or two large glasses of warm water with 1/2 tsp of Himalayan sea salt and Lugol's solution iodine in it everymorningupon rising. Now room temp water tastes flat by comparison. I do like ice water but haven't tried it with salt. It always surprises me how warm the tap water is in Florida.

Commercial Chicken Noodle Soup is full of 'MSG'. So that doesn't sit well with me. Home made is still the best. And most commercial soups are too salty and use regular table salt. JMHO

Of course home made is the best but has chicken in it. :) Those suffering from Ebola might do best with just clear broth. Some food company might be able to make it especially for this purpose.

Salt water saved me from a sore throat just the other day. I started coughing and couldn't stop. Finally, in the middle of the night, I got up and gargled with salt water. Then I went back to bed and never coughed again.

I'm guessing this solution ( warm water sea salt iodine) is a natural remedy but for what? Please share some details.

Years ago I got this info from a Japanese source. In Japan they use the warm water and salt as a cleanser that apparently "eliminates" many diseases.

Over the years, from my readings, I am assuming that it supports the immune system to optimize its ability to keep the body free of the microbes that shouldn't be there and consequently the body stays healthier and free of symptoms.

About 5 years ago I came across Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Abraham's writings regarding the lack of Salt and Iodine in the western world diet and the consequent thyroid issues that have risen, particularly low thyroid.

Through my homeopathic studies , I learned that most thyroid issues are related firstly to exhausted adrenals and so that is the first support and then on reading the Dr. Brownstein Books and listening to his lectures, I added iodine to my salt protocol.

There is an Ioldine Group on Yahoo that has tons of information about thyroid issues and they also have a mother OT (Off topic) group for related info. When you join the group there is a packet of info that is of particular interest and well worth reading.

I am not a doctor so please know that I am not prescribing anything. This is my personal practice that I have chosen to follow after lots of continual research and study.

My belief is based on the evidence that I have accumulated over 36 years that the body is always moving toward health and wellness and equilibrium. We just have to discover for ourselves what support we each individually need in order to assist the process. And through the years, I have found that there is more and more scientific support for this belief, for which I am grateful, as it may help those who need that type of evidence, to discover the power of the mind to influence and the body to heal.

There have been many teachers along the way and I have been fortunate to have studied and worked in a field that is based on these presuppositions. I have studied and worked with many of the pioneers in brain/body integration during the 80's and 90's and the work continues to flourish and evolve, and is becoming more and more mainstream. Many branches continue to grow and expand throughout the world and more and more people are recognizing the value. Symptoms are the language that the body speaks to you in, so learn to listen and pay attention.
Keep remembering that this is your life, your body and your choice. So choose the path that you feel calls you. You are a unique individual with unique needs that only you can truly feel.

I'll get off my soapbox now, hoping this gives you some understanding of where I am coming from. There is no "right" path, and you can always change your mind if you feel that you have made a "wrong" turn. Enjoy the journey!

Some things like salt that are "good" to treat illness may or may not always be good for everyday living.

It has been said that the human body likes to be slightly alkaline, although, not all parts of the body are exactly the same in that regard. The body has various automatic mechanisms to regulate alkalinity. Regular tap water, like we have in The Villages, is good because it is slightly alkaline.

To the extent that we add salt to it, it will likely become acidic. One would have to consider the overall diet to determine what's healthy, or where to draw the line.

As a rule, the average person has enough acidic foods in his/her diet as it is without adding salt to drinking water. What's the consequence of consuming an overly acidic diet? Your body will compensate by drawing calcium from your bones to restore the proper alkaline balance. This is one of the reasons why Osteoporosis has become so common.

And this is one of the reasons I'm against high protein diets, they cause the body to be acidic and acidity is bad for a couple of reasons (osteoporosis and cancer).

Back to the original topic: Lots of salt water helps Ebola patients survive but it's difficult to drink. That's why I suggest they try salty chicken-flavored (broth) soup.
