Hi everybody, this is an emergency, I tried looking for either of these :
RealSalt TM
Sel Marin de Bretagne
Sel Marin de Guerande
or similar brands that provide healthy salt (as opposed to pure salt that kills you slowly) but unfortunately I only found the forementioned brands on just three websites.

If you know where to buy gray/brown salts in Taipei, pls post here, thank you.
My wife just bought some New Zealand sea salt for cooking and table use, knowing that we were running out of salt and not knowing anything about different varieties of salt. I don’t know where she got it, but I can ask if you’d like. It tastes like salt, though it’s slightly coarser grained than we both expected.
To be honest, I don’t know much about salt except (a) I would guess sea salt comes from the sea whereas other salt apparently doesn’t (b) NYTimes just had an article on how iodine deficiency is a major cause of mental retardation and iodized salt has done more to increase the global IQ than anything else, and © too much salt is bad for people, especially if they have high-blood pressure.
So, I’m no expert and I’m curious about your salt fanaticism (you called your quest for salt an emergency and claim regular salt is a killer). Could you please explain. Thanks.
All salt will kill ya, root.log. Doesn’t matter where it comes from. Sodium is sodium is sodium.
As for taste though, you’re right to choose sea salt. We too use NZ flaked sea salt in our house because its pure and has a good taste. Its also readily available and a reasonable price. My wife gets it so its probably from Wellcome or RTMart.
You want the Bretagne stuff or whatever, City Super is your port of call. They have all kinds – brown, grey (Bretagne), pink (Wales), etc. etc. But you can expect to pay almost the same as if it were crack. Well, about NT$400 for a little jar.
What about rock salt? Isn’t that supposed to be even better than sea salt, for some things anyway?
To all (from OP):
problem solved, bought RealSalt half a kilo in one of Mitsukoshis in 101 area, 360 NT $.
To Mother Theresa:
thanks a lot for reply, my emergency was dictated by almost a year-long hyperthyroidism, I’m combating it with no doctors in mind since all of them kill people with an illness like mine, they do it literally but slowly.
Hyperthyroidism is in other words iodine deficiency and I was fooled by a lot of misleading criminal (official) information including tips that were truly the opposite of what one has to do to cure the illness. I just walked into mineral (sea) salts that, according to final logical conclusions, are almost the only remedy (not the only, but a huge bulk of it).
To all healthy people: don’t buy any salts that look white, these are true killers, I am not going to go into details, if you were interested, read on the net.
Only buy salts harvested from sea or sea sediments (no matter how old), the darker the natural color the better. These should be non refined, non heated, non processed.
To Sandman:
thanks a lot for the tip where to buy what I asked, I really appreciate your time. As for sodium that kills, yes, I agree, but it only kills if you consume it in kok-pure substances sold to you in all shops as cooking salt (the most common kind).
If you consume Sodium Chloride in balanced proportions as sea water or sea salt the same substance is bonding to other minerals in your body and is VITAL to your health. In old times people were tortured with salt deprivation.
In modern times Bolotov treated cancer with just salt and vitamin therapy.
To Joesax:
Rocksalt is only good if it’s coming from ancient seabed, if it’s non refined, non heated, non processed, just as it was when mined, RealSalt is an example, as I mentioned earlier, run when you see pure white color, doesn’t matter if it was rock before.
To doctors:
Stop killing people with radioactive iodine, bastards, you will all go to hell.

??? Hyperthyroidism is in other words iodine deficiency ??? there are a myriad of causes of hyperthyroidism, and people in modern society are not generally at risk of iodine deficiency to a degree that causes HT due to iodine in lots of foods, not just added to table salt. do you eat fish? what about farmed eggs?
???according to final logical conclusions??? whose conclusions?
??? bonding to other minerals in your body ???
??? salt deprivation torture ???
salt and vitamin therapy for cancer? and can you tell me his success rate compared to anything else he may have tried? and that makes you say it is better than other cancer treatments?

you have some serious issues here. see how dangerous a little knowledge can be, folks.
PS sea salt is better for you than processed refined table salt, containing pretty much only sodium chloride and about 0.5% potassium iodide, as it contains all the essential minerals in approximately the right balance. we are descendents of sea creatures so that makes sense. sodium alone is bad unless appropriately counterbalanced by sources of other minerals in the diet. much rock salt is unbalanced in composition too, owing to differential crystallisation of different salts from the mother brine. and the colour is a rough guide but by no means reliable. salt colour could be from toxic dust, poisonous microbial spores, industrial chemicals, food dyes…
To urodacus (solely):
I’m not going to waste much time for you, be u very little educated or too much involved in money scams destroying people.
Are you hyperthyroid also ? Have you read thousands of pages on the subject ? Are you a PHD in chemical biology ?
Then where the hell did u pop up from ? So sure of things ?
You want to discuss issues, comment, give useful info, facts, references, links that proove all prior statements wrong.
Little knowledge dangerous ?
Yes, it is dangerous for you if you are sucking off ill people instead of helping them, it is dangerous if you sell useless and harmful drugs, it is dangerous if you are a pathetic parasite making exuberant living off general public. I agree with you on this point.
Issues ? Maybe, I am listening to common sense, not you.

I’d like to know the answers to these questions as well. They seem to be very reasonable questions. Root.log, you’re making some pretty far out claims without backing them up in any way. I’d like to know how you came to have these beliefs. Normally the way to do this is by providing links.
The only thing I know for absolute certainty is that your claim that “hyperthyroidism is in other words iodine deficiency.” That’s just plain wrong. If that’s what your doctor told you, you need to find another doctor. As for the rest, I don’t know, but I sure hope you can help, as your seem to know a lot about this.

Yes.
To urodacus:
yes what ?
Potassium-Iodide is not contained in sea salt, get another PHD.
To sandman:
sorry, I overreacted. Here are the answers:
- “…Thanks to Potassium-Iodide, we now have an epidemic of Hyperthyroidism…” - in the link provided among other things it is being explained that Potassium-Iodide (added to refined salt to avoid thyroid problems in population) is a cause of Hyperthyroidism.
curezone.com/foods/saltpage.asp
ageing.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/co … ct/3/4/221
there are thousands links like that out there.
As opposed to Potassium-Iodide (in every grain of “table salt” each of us consume with no back thoughts), organic/natural/trace iodine is what our body understands.
Every producer of white purified salt should be behind bars to my mind.
-
My logical concclusions.
-
Iodine as any other chemical element goes through chemical reactions. For example:
“…Iodine restores the temperature or heat in the body and assists the calcium in the repair of tissue…”
What happens on a molecular/atomic level is written here:

Yes, salt and vitamin therapy for cancer. You can read the whole story + a ton of other useful info in Russian here:

There’s an additional reading below which makes me say that cutting people into pieces and shoving them with lasers is barbaric and intentionally lethal.

Are you going to pay a visit to your doctor again ? Ever ?
[quote=“root.log”]To urodacus:
yes what ?
[/quote]
yes i have read thousands of pages on the subject. yes i have a phd in molecular biology, and more than a passing academic interest in nutrition and physiology. care to debate the issue reasonably, with a little more understanding?
and you perfectly contradict yourself when you say this:
did i say it occurred naturally in table salt? read and think before posting, please.
and the links you gave about PI do not say that PI in table salt causes HT. in fact, the opposite. the ‘age and aging’ article talks about the risk of HT in a small number of patients recieving high-dose PI treatment to saturate the thyroid with iodine before a radioactive iodine fibrinogen test. did you even read the abstract? finding a link and posting it implies that you have read AND understood the information therein, otherwise it is just trolling. read and think, please.
why am i wasting my precious time talking to you?
heehee, I got a chuckle out of this one. Remind me never to lash out blindly at people (“What are you, a ___?” “Well, actually, I am.”) Beautiful.
So, if iodine in salt causes hyperthyroidism, then surely -my logical concclusions [sic] - an iodine deficiency from lack of salt must cause hypothyroidism. Thus, I am off to 7 for some chips. :lick: After years of eating lots of soy as a vegetarian in Taiwan, I’d better make that a big bag.
(Although apparently the fermented kind used here in food is fine. It is the GM processed kind to avoid. Soy, not salty potato chips, I’m talking here.)
Chips would have iodized salt on them, yes? Or is that only table salt? (Which I never used except in baking - damn! Who woulda thunk not using salt would be bad? I am jumping to conclusions, I guess, but I think that was the tone set at the outset when the OP set it.)
Past my bedtime. I wonder if this is going to be one of those comments I wish I’d never posted.
