I was wasting salt and things like potassium and magnesium along with it. He said it was because I was eating large amounts of salt and that it was the cause. But, when I have not been eating large amounts of salt, I am still having the problems that I went in with. Because I have high bp, he did not look into other possible causes and he knew I had abnormal salt cravings before he ran this test and had brushed it off as part of the american diet until he saw my abnormally high salt excretion and automatically assumed it was only because of an intake of the sodium. He did not bother to see what the cause of the abnormal cravings that I get here and there were from.
