That's not to say it's a bad idea to reduce sodium intake Without knowing what's going on, we have no idea if reducing sodium would help or would make things worse. I have a genetic disorder. People with it are prone to getting osteoporosis at early ages, yet there are also people with the condition who actively avoid calcium because calcium build up in the cells is known to precede cell death and they fear that. I think they have it backwards and our cells hoard calcium (as well as glutathione) because it is protective against worse things. That's not anything I can prove and I don't have literature to point to at the moment to readily back up the general line of thought here. But build up of salt in the tissues is not proof that the salt is causative. It may be in reaction to some other process that is the real problem and as long as we do not understand the process here, jumping to such conclusions is incredibly problematic. It might be a nice thing to do a study on though to see if cutting salt slows mental deterioration in MS patients.
