Native Americans, the Mayans I believe, used to mix straight cocoa powder with dried chilies and water to make a bitter drink. I tried it, and it was definitely bitter. Something I wont try again, haha

interesting. Are Lion's mane easy to cultivate? I've cultivated psilocybin before. Cubes were easy. I wasn't successful at growing Tampanensis, Azurescen and Panaeolus. Lion's mane should be eaten cooked right?

They are quite easy to grow. I have them in large mycobags full of sawdust.
If you have access to sawdust, containers and boiling water you can spawn lions mane to pasteurized sawdust

I use sawdust because it's cheap and easy to use. You don't have to pressure cook it and I can mix up a few buckets worth in a matter of minutes.

I'd look for this at Walmart if they sell it. Morton Sea Salt? Curious if iodine is for thyroid function? I had been looking for thyroid supplements (my thread about it is unanswered, lol). Not sure if iodine have any good benefits for the thyroid. I have no thyroid issues but I'd like to keep its function healthy. You mentioned kelp. I see this as ingredients in some thyroid supplements as fucus vesiculosus (kelp).

Aleon said: Eat sea salt. I believe it is actually healthy for you because it contains almost all the trace minerals on the earth in similar proportions to your blood, and is absorbed instantly through ionic transfer (it is inorganic, not organic). Very similar to the difference between organic and hydroponic plant growth, organic has to be asimilated by microbes into inorganic molecules, whearas salts bypass the microbes and enter directly into the plant without any need for a " middle man". There are books and literature on this subject; I think table salt NaCl is a gimmick to make us think that salt is unhealthy when in reality sea salt is healthy IME. Thus we poison ourselves with a synthesized version of something that is healthy and readily available in unlimited quantities in its natural state. Exactly what they want, unhealthy people who they can herd like sheep! How anyone uses table over sea salt is beyond me; and as to the iodine, sea salt has some, but just add small amount of kelp to your diet and this will cover it.
You are very correct Aleon, table salt has had all the good stuff removed and that is why it is so bad for you. Straight sodium can cause your body to not absorb other minerals. True sea salt is excellent for you. especially because of city waters filtration, most people used to get those minerals in their water, that doesn't happen these days.

Iodine is added to salt to prevent formation of goiters.
Eating shellfish (shrimp, lobster, crab) and seaweed (nori, kelp, dulce) can supply iodine, as well as a good multivitamin.
Any sea salt will work, I usually get himalayan pink salt from Costco because it's cheap and full of minerals.

I've seen Iodine being sold online for $65 per kg. The sea salt you see at super markets like walmart all have a big note upfront that says "this salt does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient". That's sad. I think all salts are like this nowadays. There are other types of salt on the shelf not by Morton. It's a Mediterranean Sea Salt and the other one is Pink Sea Salt. Those have no mention of whether they have iodide or not but more likely they don't.
I've seen kelp powders being sold in bulk. Not sure how this taste like or what I can do with the powders. Do I mix it in a shake or a tea?

thanks for your suggestion of a broth. I never thought of using this as a soup beverage. I just grabbed one at Walmart with 50% less sodium than the original (this product has 400 mg of sodium, original has 800 mg). Compared to what I was eating like those cup noodle soups which all have 1500 mg to 1800 mg or more of sodium. I also grabbed some sodium free bouillon. Curious what this taste like. Some bouillons have lesser sodium than those cup noodles, I checked. The bouillon from Wyler's has 800mg of sodium. It's half compared to what is in those cup noodles. A carton of broth is about $2 for a serving of 4. Not bad. Those 28 cent cup noodles are priced that way for a reason (it's all salt!).
Quote:
Jeff said: Bouillon cubes are not a whole lot different than the cup'o noodles that you want to shy away from. They contain mostly salt. Try to find low or no sodium broth/soup base. Better yet just throw some bones in a pot and make your own.
If I was looking for dried manes I would not hesitate buying from AV. All the dealings I have had with him have been top notch.

Sea salt is seriously unhealthy. You get less salt taste per milligram because of the reduced surface area of the granules. Salt is unhealthy because many people have a genetic predisposition toward salt sensitivity. This causes an imbalance in extra cellular sodium concentrations, leading to reduced thresholds for action potentials. This can be especially bad at the neuromuscular junctions controlling the vascular system, leading to high blood pressure.
That said, regarding hot chocolate, here's what you should do: buy a stick of pure coco and grate it. Add orange peel, clove, a hint of nutmeg, and almond milk then boil. Enjoy. It is the traditional way to make coco in my home country.

I live by personal experience, and im extremely skinny, healthy, energetic and happy. SO sea salt isnt bad for everyone. Since i dont know you; you easily could be unhealthy (not saying that you are, but how do i know?) What i do know is that most diet info is superfluous; it does not take into account each individual persons body/mind and their desires of what they want to do with them. Not to mention all of existence is just an illusion created by the mind; so nothing is inherently good or bad. Its amazing how many people on this site have experienced transcendental states using sacred substances; and yet they dont take the benefits from it back with them when they live their everyday life.

I mean, to be honest, if you're eating enough vegetables a day, youre already meeting or exceeding the healthy threshold of sodium intake. Added salt is not healthy for anyone. That said, most people don't eat enough vegetables per day, and most people aren't concerned about higher blood pressure.

One other thing, my grandfather is friends with some people who work for Morton salt and they just did a study in Japan showing that people who ate no salt scored lower on intelligence tests than people who ate salt. Salt is a catalyst for electrical current; which is what runs our body. But again, to each his own; dont say salt isnt healthy for anyone, because i consider it a healthy part of my diet. And as i previously stated, some people maybe shouldn't eat salt, but it depends on each individual.

But almost everything we eat have salt in it. Check the sodium amount on that french fry!
From what I learned recently is that Iodide was ADDED to salt back in the old days. The removal of this nutrient from salt is what makes sea salt "IODIZED" as if to say it is bad for you. See your salt carton/shaker and if it says "iodized" then the iodide was removed from it or has none "added". So what this means is I can avoid the salt and simply supplement with Iodide!? Most Iodide supplements I have seen are made from Kelp. Salt IS Sodium! Not Iodide! LOL. I need some shrooms!

Iodized salt has iodine added. You got that one backwards.
And yes you can eat kelp instead of salt to get your daily iodine.

Here's a link to a list of foods naturally containing iodine in sufficient amounts: http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/natural-foods-high-in-iodine.php
And here is the wiki for iodised salt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodised_salt

Yeah but if you care enough about your health to watch your sodium intake, maybe you shouldn't be eating fries on a regular basis?
