Evening Chuck,

>> A low salt diet is often recommended for hypertensives.

Before I comment on the instruments, I firmly believe there is a
salt conspiracy in the USA. First, only 50 % or less of the hypertensives are sensitive to salt.

One of my genius doctors had told me 100 times, don't eat any salt.
He even calls off all the foods not to eat. Of course he does this without any consultation to learn I have never added salt to my food my whole life. I eat so little, I keep vials of sea salt in my truck, my survival bag, and often in my pocket. I also add 1/2 tsp of sea salt to my water. I worked in the heat two days this week and drank this salt water. You can barely taste the salt.

You will be the first to know when it gets too low.
I think sodium, and a few other things determine if you are standing up or laying on the floor.


It's very difficult to truly know how low you're getting because of
nutritional info and portion sizes don't often match.
I certainly agree with that. I understand we need 2000 mg per day. Some people get more than that, accidently, while others get much less. I had an older female customer that had to go to the emergency room because of low sodium.
All the Doctor told her to do was drink less water.

Was wondering if it would be practical to use TDS urine readings as a guide to daily salt status.
The name of the meter alone, "Total Dissolved Solids" virtually tells you it will not work. It will read all the items there, and give you the total.

Likewise, people use the EC meter for liquid plant nutrients. They have not a clue how much or each is in the water. They have a total.

This is the same reason they will not give an accurate ppm reading of anything. The give a total conductivity. Some have learned how to get close to the ppm for CS. Ode for one.

I have a research scientist friend that has a patent on a
"non invasive prostate cancer test"  and other patents also.

No doubt he could come up with a kit or test that would do what you suggest.

I have thought about the same thing. I would like to be able to measure all the blood electrolytes as well as sodium.


What do you think?

I will be anxious to see what Ode has to say.  He may say I am all wrong.

The task is simple enough for the right mind with the proper training. ( and equipment ) My weakness is chemistry. I have learned a little about plant nutrition and human nutrition. I always end up with a stalemate when I try to go to the deeper steps that are chemistry related.
