The only salt I know in a pacemaker is the ones used in the battery
of some of the older pacemakers. There was one manufacturer using
lithium-thionyl chloride batteries. Nowadays they mostly use the
lithium iodine-polyvinylpyradine cell to power the pacemakers.
I don't know what this has to do with CS but if anyone is curious you
can read a well written treatise on pacemaker batteries here:

Here you are..............I could not find my saved link re nickel
content of (celtic) sea salt, or it might have been realsalt.
Thought it was celtic, but now I can't find it to refer to???
All of this was found by googling, btw

Unfortunately, what often gets omitted in mention of trace
minerals are the minerals you don't want in your salt, such as
natural trace levels of lead, mercury, and arsenic.
Natural lead and arsenic levels are not what concern me since they
are miniscule: mercury is present in sea water in no small amount
however. The oceans have a natural level of mercury that can
potentially become dangerous when concentrated in such forms as sea salt.

The Proven Facts About Salt
Public health policy should be guided only by proven facts.
Current scientific research reveals that there are actually very
few salt-related health problems. Sodium, in the form of sodium
chloride, plays an important part in the primary processes of
digestion and absorption. Salt activates the first enzyme in the
mouth, salivary amylase. At this stage, sodium exposes food to the
tastebuds -a reason why food has always been salted "to taste"- it
also helps start digestion by breaking down food. In the parietal
cells of the stomach wall, sodium chloride generates hydrochloric
acid, one of the most important of ail digestive secretions.
If potassium is in excess in relation to sodium, the body's enzyme
pathway loses its ability to produce hydrochloric acid. Thus most
diets, but especially vegetarian and grain diets, require slightly
more salt in order to prevent an excess of potassium over sodium.
With salt present, the acidity of the partially digested food is
able to trigger off some needed natural sodium bicarbonate,
derived from the supply of sodium chloride, as well as enzymatic
and bile secretions from the gall bladder and pancreatic ducts.
Without salt no digestion is possible.
In illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, Addison's disease, kidney
or gastrointestinal disorders, or any time there has been surgery
or other significant fluid losses triggered, the requirement for
an abundant supply of salt is vital for survival. A certain amount
of extra salt ration at that crucial time has often been the
factor that has saved lives.
HTH,
google for more if you have the patience and interest

P.S. In this search I ran across claims of benefit for seasalt and
claims of "toxicity" of refined table salt (with or without
additives) but once again never saw any actual double blinded
clinical studies, though it is claimed that "scientific studies"
exist, I didn't see actual references to any such published
studies, perhaps I didn't look far enough.
