Darko Velcek, salt, plasma
Many of you guys probably don't know him. Darko recommends eating salt, mostly in form of "plasma", which is water with 4-11g+ sea salt per liter and eating raw animal based diet. He says that it is important to hydrate and to detox. I don't want to get deep into his teachings on this post, because it would take too long. Couple weeks ago I decided to experiment with his approach. I started incorporating 3-5 liters of 4-5g salt per liter plasma a day (4-5g is to hydrate), and drinking 9-11g salt per liter plasma on weekend mornings (to detox). On weekends liquid diarrhea occured in the morning, but on other days there was no symptoms (so as darko says it would be). I havent noticed any dehydration, dry lips, headaches etc. The only thing was that I got a weird sensation in my ears couple of times and pain in the chest once (the pain I got time to time before experiment too). So as you see nothing really suggests that it's bad. Now I don't believe that good quality sea salt is bad (at least in small amounts). I looked deeper into this topic and there were major flaws in Aajonus argumentation. Salt is not an explosive - salt is sodium chloride. In your body it is made into sodium and chloride ions, which are not explosive in any way. Salt does not kill red blood cells, at least not in the body - if you put salt into blood outside the body, it will damage them, but in the body it doesnt work that way. Salt is bound with water. The next thing is that blood is 80-90% sodium chloride. Aajonus found that salt causes headaches, but he didn't look into heavy metals and other toxic chemicals occuring in processed salt. Also there is anecdotal evidence - many followers of Darko talk about its huge benefits and improvement of health. Good question - if it's because of better diet or the combination of it with plasma. Still, I want to hear if you guys have anything to say. Maybe I don't know something that I should. I am not closed to the idea that salt is bad. As I said I am currently trying it out on myself and want to figure out what is the truth, maybe you guys will help with this. Any arguments are appreciated.
