Low On Salt

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I was up at my aunt and uncle's house in Wisconsin here recently. They own the old family dairy farm.

My uncle, Jerry Mankowski, told me a story about a medical emergency that happened to him a few years ago. He woke up one morning with his hands shaking! He could not stop them from shaking. Also he had little feeling in his body.

His long time wife, Nancy, said that she would take him to the clinic. Jerry told her no, he really needed an ambulance! She called an ambulance immediately! When the ambulance arrived, off they went to the local hospital!

Upon arrival at the hospital, a battery of tests were performed. As my aunt and uncle sat there, the doctor's convened and discussed. They knew what the problem was almost immediately, but they just wanted to make sure.

The doctor eventually came out and revealed what was the diagnosis. Jerry had very low sodium levels in his blood!  He was just low on salt! The doctor turned to my aunt Nancy, and said to her, " put the salt shaker back on the table!"

Now both of them put plenty of salt on their food. The salt shaker is always on the table. It's popular today to have a no salt diet. But that is not healthy for us. Our blood needs to have a good salt content for a healthy body.
