Pretend it's not himalayan - it's just uniodised sodium chloride which can be a good addition to otherwise mineral free water. Other minerals like magnesium are also worthwhile but OP might have other sources for that.
 
Thanks Mants... had me looking at Google maps thinking..." The Himalayas are a long way from the ocean "
 
I can understand your scepticism. However its the closest natural thing there is to the balance of minerals naturally found in healthy, balanced blood when diluted with the correct amount of water. I have been doing this now for about 10 years and my blood results every month are perfect. Yes free chlorine evaporates freely, but when it comes out of the shower my bathroom used to smell like an indoor swimming pool and I started to itch, having trouble breathing and almost collapse.

Adelaide water has lots of minerals in it, due to where it is sourced from. Thats why it is so hard and is very good for brewing Ales

This is what's in it. I wouldn't do this lightly guys, trust me. I have had one of the best professors work with me for years to find a solution to this crap I have gone through. And it works for me and many others. And I know it says fluoride but there it's so low it ha no affect on me. What's in the tap water here is much much higher. And it is not produced from the waste of aluminium smelting like the fluoride in the water and toothpaste. It's a naturally forming version that is not even molecularly similar.

But I cant drink it.

Have you tried Murray River pink salt ?
 
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the Council of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology have both stated that "there is no evidence of allergy or intolerance to fluoride as used in the fluoridation of water supplies."
Allergy to chlorine is not systemic and only a contact dermatitis. Some people may find a sensitivity to inhaled chlorine from heavily chlorinated water such as a swimming pool. Once free chlorine combines with a protein it becomes inert in your stomach. Usually in the form of mineral salt.
Your body is full of chlorine mate. Chock a block FULL of the stuff naturally.
So what you are after is healthy beer? Well that's kind of like a smoker being concerned about CO when it's the other shit that's really not good for you.
Adding salt regardless of the source is a huge source of sodium chloride and you risk pulmonary hypertension, chronic heart failure and kidney damage from that practice. It's not the sodium that your body really needs from the water, it's all the other trace elements.

Go see your GP if you have an issue but this isn't the place for it mate. No one here is qualified (or willing if so qualified) to give you health advice.
 
Yet people still are: including those that tell him his symptoms are impossible.

Biography/ Background


[SIZE=12pt]Andrew Zannettino is the [/SIZE]Professor of Experimental Haematology in the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide and [SIZE=12pt]heads the Myeloma Research Laboratory (MRL) and co-heads the Regenerative Medicine Program (RMP). The MRL’s efforts centre on identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for myeloma disease progression and myeloma-associated bone loss. The RMP stems from collaborative studies in association with Prof Stan Gronthos (Mesenchymal Stem Cell Laboratory, University of Adelaide) and Prof Paul Simmons (Mesoblast Ltd), which led to the patenting of technologies covering the identification and isolation of Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPC), a rare cell population present in many post-natal tissues. The family of 7 patents surrounding this technology underpin the world’s largest cell therapy company, Mesoblast Ltd.[/SIZE]

Research Interests
[SIZE=12pt]Myeloma is haematological malignancy characterised by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells, an immune cell type that normally protects us against infection. Myeloma is the second most common blood cancer and more than 100,000 people are diagnosed each year worldwide. Despite recent advances in treatment, myeloma remains almost universally fatal and has a 10-year survival rate of approximately 17%. The main clinical manifestations of myeloma are the development of osteolytic bone lesions, bone pain, hypercalcaemia, renal insufficiency, suppressed immunoglobulin production and increased bone marrow angiogenesis (blood vessel formation). Myeloma is preceded by a premalignant (asymptomatic) monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) stage. The factors that trigger the progression from MGUS to myeloma remain to be determined; however, our studies show that both intrinsic genetic changes and extrinsic factors play a role in disease progression. Our laboratory’s research is focussed on detecting the key signalling pathways that are deregulated during disease development and determining what microenvironmental changes occur during disease pathogenesis. We believe that these approaches will enable us to identify new molecular markers of disease risk and to design drugs against novel therapeutic targets.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Current projects are focused on:[/SIZE]

  • [SIZE=12pt]Identifying the genetic, transcriptional and epigenetic changes that trigger the progression from asymptomatic MGUS to myeloma[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Determining why the bone marrow is a “hot-spot” for myeloma plasma cell metastasis[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Identifying the mechanisms governing dissemination and relapse in multiple myeloma[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Identifying the role played by the newly described tumour suppressor genes [/SIZE]GLIPR1[SIZE=12pt] and [/SIZE]SAMSN1[SIZE=12pt] in multiple myeloma development[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Determining the effects of myeloma plasma cells on mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Assessing the effectiveness of targeting class IIa histone deacetylases (HDAC) to treat myeloma and myeloma-associated bone disease[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Identifying the role of the mTOR pathway in mesenchymal stem cell biology and bone formation.[/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=12pt]Assessing the effectiveness of targeting skeletal mTORC1 as a novel approach to treat diet-induced insulin resistance[/SIZE]

Professor Andrew Zannettino

This guy might be a bit smarter than your average GP
It's easy to through names around. I'm not convinced any scientist in the world would make this assessment.
 
They reckon licking a 9v battery can cause a heart attack but I still do it,

An electric "shock" to induce cardiac failure must be at the lowest documented case of 52V and 25mA.

Edit: 25mA being at extremely high voltage. Not 52V. At 52V it's around 300mA.

Well, all the GP's I have ever known where not Professors....

Close call eh?!
Thought you were living on the edge right? The question is.... How fun is licking the battery with no risk?

Glad your a Doctor then.

I'm not discrediting this professor mate. I'm just questioning why a professor of metastatic myeloma is giving some guy advice on his drinking water?
I ask my cardio-thoracic surgeon (who is a professor) a question about my headaches and he doesn't want a bar of it. He sends me off to a neurologist, even though it was caused by a drug my cardio surgeon gave me..
