Salt-C

Description: Salt C is no longer sold by Electroherbalism. However, it is simple to make oneself. Just mix half and half (by weight) USP ascorbic acid powder with a good quality salt rich in trace minerals such as Real Salt, Himalaya Pink Salt, or Klamath Miracle Krystal Salt. Many people use this combination against Lyme disease. See http://www.lymephotos.com/ for the complete description. May also be useful in some other infectious disorders.

Each two gram serving is a heaping 1/4 tsp and contains

1000mg vitamin C
1000mg salt

iHerb has good prices on Now Ascorbic Acid (USP quality) and also sells Klamath Krystal Salt, shown at right. If this combination is used, the Klamath Salt is 3.5oz total and the Now Ascorbic Acid is 8oz. Mix two canisters of the Klamath Salt with one of the ascorbic acid. This makes an approximately equal blend (7oz salt to 8oz C, or a 7:8 ratio.) To be more exact, remove two tablespoons (approx 30g) of ascorbic acid before mixing with the salt to make a 1:1 ratio (although a 7:8 ratio is fine).

Another option is to get Himalaya Pink Salt (shown at right) from eVitamins, which comes in an 8oz container. eVitamins also sells Now Ascorbic Acid, but usually only in a 3 lb canister.

Directions: Should be mixed in water before use. The Salt-C protocol provided by lymephotos.com is to use a two gram serving 12 times per day, but using less often such as three times per day may also provide some benefit. Either way, use three times per day to start and build up to recommended amounts as necessary. Occasionally, invert closed canister and shake to evenly disperse since the powders may settle over time.
