thank you Don for sharing this with us, i am personally very interested by
the subject, because having addison disease i don't secrete cortisone and so
have the tendancy to lose my sodium. We are asked by endocrinologs to eat
lot of salt. But i allways been split between taking it or not because i
have the feeling that excess salt intake of my mother and my self in the
past might be having lot to do with the collapse of my adrenal cortex. Now
because of 18 years of cortisone supplementation i am prone to osteoporosis
that a bone density test just confirmed recently . It just happen that the
last few months i indulged in salt a lot, following a 4 months abstinence of
it . between too much or not enough i have hard time getting a balance each
side having its symptoms.
i am getting lot of exercise so it is limiting the worse .
i still need to learn more about the relationships between VIt D,
cholesterol, steroid hormones (cortisone and Dhea specially) calcium and
salt.
if you have any other insight i will welcome them.
Thank you
