New Salt/Vitamin C Protocol

The original Salt/Vitamin C protocol was developed by a group of long-time Lyme sufferers and has been used by many to achieve great improvement. The authors and many others testify to 98% functionality as a result of this simple and economical cure.  Those who don’t improve on the salt/C protocol have not given it long enough to work according to the authors of the protocol.  Photos, research, testimonies and specific instructions can be found at Lymephotos  and  Lymestrategies.

The original protocol uses mega doses of Vitamin C and pure sodium chloride tablets to build the immune system and kill bacteria, a one-two punch designed to assist the body’s natural defense system. 

I tried this protocol as soon as I learned about it but immediately ran into problems 

•   Mega-doses of Vitamin C tore up the lining of my stomach and caused diarrhea.  
• Pure sodium chloride caused major bloating which aggravated my joint pain. Also, I was uncomfortable taking mega-doses of toxic sodium chloride.  

A search for   natural and organic alternatives  led me to the following new protocol: 

Substitute 1 gram of sodium chloride tablet with 1 gram Himalayan Miracle Salt capsule and substitute 3 grams of Vitamin C with 1 capsule of Apple Poly (which works out to 4 capsules of Apple  polyphenols and 12 capsules of Himalayan Mineral Salt per day for me.)  

This new protocol was developed using the underlying principals of the Salt/Vitamin C protocol, with therapeutic substitutions which are less likely to have any side effects.   Many people have gastric problems taking mega doses of Vitamin C (nausea, belly-ache, cramps and diarrhea) and using sodium chloride can cause even more dangerous side effects such as high blood pressure, bloating and swelling. 

Apple polyphenols are 18 times more powerful than Vitamin C as an anti-oxidant and have many other health benefits in addition to Vitamin C.  Read more about Apple Polyphenols here.

And Himalayan Miracle Salt has 84 essential minerals and trace elements that are required for health. These essential minerals and trace elements were provided at one time through vegetables grown in rich soil but must be taken as supplements today due to commercial farming practices.  Read about Himalayan Salt here.
