Oh, My Freakin' GOD!
There has been an EIGHTH attack in China! This time SEVERAL men broke into a dorm and wounded nine college kids and managed to chop off one poor kid's hand, I mean WHAT.... THE..... HELL? I just dont GET it, no matter how hard I try. And how long has this been going on? Have we just started hearing about these? Have they all hit some mystical point of mass insanity or is this the result of eatin' too many parts of animals that ya ain't supposed to be eatin'?
BTW- There's a Travel Guru by the name of Rick Steves who always says it's more important to be a citizen of the world, rather than your own bitty corner, but I'ma thinking seriously about revoking my World-Chinese Citizenship!
I'm....Perturbed, to say the least...

I've said it before, usually in respect to the Catholic church, or other religions, but it applies equally here, so I shall say it again.
The more you suppress a persons humanity, the more twisted the form in which it will finally express itself, and it *will* express itself, much like a tree root does to a sidewalk.
And the sidewalk never wins, never.

Iremisst:
This pretty much happens everywhere. You only hear about it on your media from either your own country or countries you aren't friendly with, solely so you will have precisely the reaction you just had. Towards the other country: OMG bad! Towards your own country: OMG what's wrong with us? Let's vote someone in who will make things better! The first is propaganda, the second is a scare tactic.
Not all Chinese are violent droogs bursting into people's homes and cutting off hands. A few are, and we can speculate why. Mass insanity/hysteria is a good guess, but you have to realize, EVERYONE is effected by this in some way or another. Like Frem said, what you've really got to be worried about is how it comes out when people snap.
And the only way to solve it is to make society not INSANE. Which is an uphill battle, because people are making a crapload of profits off of this diseased system.

DT: Have you tried EATING MORE SALT AND DRINKING MORE WATER???
If your sodium is too low your blood volume goes down. Couple of things usually happen: At the beginning, your heart may race to make up in linear flow what it's missing in volume. Later, your heart will be unable to fill properly, you'll get premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) which will feel like skipped heartbeat followed by a big THUMP in your throat. Your bp will go down. Even further down the line, your heart will be continuously irregular, your bp may spike at ood times, you will be unable to sustain any sort of physical activity.
And if your sodium is too low relative to potassium... say, you're eating a low-sodium diet with lots of fruits and vegetables... or even worse, you're taking a potassium sparing diuretic or lisinopril and potassium supplements... your cardiac nerves will not be able fire properly and you will relax your heart to death.
SODIUM IS A NECESSITY NOT A POISON.
SODIUM IS A NECESSITY NOT A POISON.
I repeated that on purpose. My hubby has gotten into so much trouble repeatedly over this issue. I've learned to keep lowfat sausage, ham, and pickles around the house, just in case.
BYTE: Your "cardiac sphincter" -which as nothing to do with your heart, as its the muscle that closes off the top of your stomach- may be spasming. It can be incredibly painful. People who've had both heart attack AND cardiac sphincter spasming say they can't tell the difference, AND it causes irregular heartbeats too. Usually, it has to do with acid reflux.

DT , I've read the whole gorramn thread , and finally Signy has gotten close to the right track for you...
However , you need more than just sodium...A 'sea salt supplement' would benefit you muchly...
Here's a page with some of the benefits outlined ; I have had long experience with these sorts of things myself...It need not be expensive , in fact , it's quite cheap 'health insurance' . You will only require a quarter teaspoon total , per day...Ordinary 'sea salt' from the grocery store will do fine , as the balance of electrolytic minerals is what you are after...Drink plenty of clean , filtered , NON-CHLORINATED water , as often as you can tolerate...
'...Why Sea Salts?
Celtic Sea Salts are a prime condiment that stimulates salivation, helps to balance and replenishes all of the body's electrolytes...'

O2B and Signy - THANK YOU for that info. That could be damned handy to know. And it makes me feel a little bit better about the amount of sea salt I use in cooking. :)

O2B- I agree. Sodium chloride is a rescue package, but the body needs so much more...
Just as an aside in terms of everyday health, most people don't get NEARLY enough magnesium in their diets. Studies show that people in hard water areas and people who drink "pot liquor" (the liquid left over from cooking green vegetables), and those who eat just a handful of nuts a day have significantly lower cardiac events than others. Now, none one of these sources has much magnesium, so if just a little magnesium can have such a profound effect on heatlh, that points to a serious deficiency. Magnesium is found in shellfish, nuts, seaweed, greens, beans, and whole grains.
Also, most people tend to be terribly deficient in potassium. It has been estimated that a single additional serving of a fruit per day would reduce the incidence of stroke by 30%. Again, suhc a profound impact points to s serious deficiency.
The problem with sodium is not that its bad, by iself. it's just that MOST people eat too much sodium in relation to everything else (except some people go too far in the other direction).

Mmm. I looked up cardiospasm, and the symptoms aren't right. I can still swallow. I don't throw up. I don't have acid problems or acid reflux. I just can't breathe, and my heart feels like it does something weird. I also get dizzy sometimes, either from the pain or the not breathing, I'm not sure.
DT says a time crunch is hitting him again, so he's going to be sparse around the boards, but I'll pass on your salt recommendation.
