Interesting, I have tried adding salt in the past, including electrolyte tablets, but don't remember it making a difference.
I get that sodium decreases copper absorption, but in the case of simply drinking water (ie. no copper is involved), I'm not sure I see the connection.
Perhaps if water diluted the copper already in our bodies, then that would become problematic.
I totally agree about the ENTs, but I did have two tell me my throat showed obvious signs of reflux. I plan to treat this separately with the IQoro device btw.
I do like the zinc theory regarding stomach acid, and the obvious copper tie in. Makes an awful lot of sense. It's a wonder no one has suggested this before.
