Unrefined Salt Experiments

Salt prevents calcium uptake in plants and animals.

2 weeks ago i tried salt again. After 2 years without any. Himalayan pink salt.
I started a big batch of high fish (3 kg) with approx 3 tbsp of salt.
A week later i washed it, and choped in cubes. Then started to eat.  First bite was awful, and i instantly thought 'I ruined 3 kg of fish'.
Second night couldn't sleep due to headache. Still ate it for 3-4 days more. All nights headache. I still have that batch there on the fridge.

I hope when it ferments, sodium gets softened by bacteria. Or more absorbable without ill effects. Will wait at least 5 months.

Totally negative for me, despite what all people said. I wanted to try cause reading 'curemanual' and westonprice fundation. Stupid me. Aajonus was right? Headache are almost always cause of salt? I think so now.

Will wait at least 5 months.

I'd start sampling at one month because you should start noticing "mature" fermentation flavors at this time.

What kind of fish did you start with?

It is called 'merluza' in argentina. Lean sea fish.

I want to wait 5 months to make sure bacteria digests the salt first. I don't care about taste. I love high meat

It already has 1 month

I eat unrefined salt. About 3 teaspoons daily

I have found that supplementing with calcium and magnesium, especially magnesium, improved my health.  I've also taken trace mineral supplement clays like Terramin and Pascalite with excellent results.

You used terramin as your calcium and magnesium source? How much terramin do you take/took per day in what form(i.e. do you let it soak overnight in mineral water?)?
