Salt of Life

Research proves that the crystals of Himalayan salt are well developed and vital. It has life generating power for human tissue, including the nervous system. The photo at left is Himalayan salt at 50x magnification.

The regular table salt (on the right) shows no vibrant crystalline structure but exclusively dead crystals. It is devoid of life force, perhaps a destructive poison. We need to use less (table) salt in our diets.

Sea salt falls between the two extremes. It displays crystalline structure, but the crystals are not accompanied by other important, vital elements. The ionic-colloidal assimilation of the elements is limited.

Salt For Life

The tradition of salt mining around the world is well documented. Those who have had access to salt also had access to power. In the past 150 years, salt has lost a lot of its importance. Modern methods of mining and chemical treatments have turned the 'white gold' into an almost worthless substance. Biophysicists have recently started to conduct scientific research on natural, crystal salt. They discovered something astonishing: natural crystal salt consists of up to 84 elements, the same elements found in the human body.

From White Gold to White Poison

Life on Earth is not possible without salt, yet our consumption of salt is killing us. Why is that? Because our regular table salt no longer has the properties of the original crystal salt. Commercial table salt is mainly sodium chloride. Natural crystal salt consists not only of sodium and chloride, but also possibly of other 82 natural elements. These are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been built and originally found existing in the "primal ocean" from where all life on Earth originated. Our blood contains the salty brine of the primal sea; a fluid consisting of water and salt. It has the concentration that existed in days when life emerged from the primal sea. This brine water flows through more than 56,000 miles of waterways and blood vessels throughout our organism and regulates and balances the functions of our body.

How Salt Became Sodium Chloride

With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt was "chemically cleaned" and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Important minerals and trace elements were considered "impure" and removed. This remaining salt by itself however, is not a natural element and is poison to the body. The body recognizes this chemically cleaned sodium chloride as an aggressive poison to its cells and wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible. This causes constant overburden for our excretive organs. In almost every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process. Therefore, by adding more salt to the already salted food, the body receives more salt than it can get rid of. The body now tries to isolate the over dose of salt. In this process, water molecules surround the sodium chloride in order to ionize it into sodium and chloride to neutralize it. For this process, the water is taken from our cells and the body has to sacrifice its most perfectly structured cell water in order to neutralize sodium chloride. In doing so, the dehydrated body cells die.

Arthritis, Kidney & Gall Stones and Cellulite Caused By Common Salt

Eating common table salt results in the formation of edema, or excess fluid in the body tissue, which is also the cause of cellulite. Doctors tell us to avoid salt, because it is harmful. For every gram of sodium chloride the body cannot get rid of, it uses twenty-three grams of water to neutralize the salt. If the sodium chloride is still too high, the body recrystalizes the table salt by using available animal proteins, which also cannot be broken down and eliminated. The body uses these proteins to produce uric acid in order to get rid of the excess salt. As the body cannot dispose of uric acid, it binds itself with the sodium chloride to form new crystals that are deposited directly in the bones and joints. This is the cause of different kinds of rheumatisms such as arthritis, gout, and kidney and gall bladder stones. The recrystalizing is the body's band-aid solution for the cells and organs in order to protect the body from irreparable damage of irresponsible food intake. But in the long run, it poisons the system because those substances cannot be disposed of.

The Salt in Our Kitchen is Poison

Why do we continue using this chemically refined salt that actually poisons our body? The answer is very simple. Ninety-three percent (93%) of the world's salt is being used directly for industrial purposes and 6% used for preserving processes. And for this, pure sodium chloride is necessary. For every chemical process, sodium chloride is needed. The remaining, natural elements, are considered impurities and discarded as unwanted. Only a very small part of the worldwide salt production finds its way to our kitchens as table salt. With the help of intensive advertising campaigns, the industry tries to convince the people of the health advantage to adding halogens, like highly toxic iodine (in the form of iodide) to the salt. Fluoride is another substance added to salt. Iodine is artificially added to help thyroid functioning of people not eating enough sea salt; fluoride is added to harden our teeth, a very controversial practice, whose negative effects have been widely documented. Both these elements actually make the salt even more toxic. Table salt very often contains preservatives that don't have to be listed on the container, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, as well as aluminium hydroxide, which improved the pourability of the salt. Aluminium, when deposited in the brain is one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. One of the suspected reasons for the high incidence of Alzheimer's in the U.S. is the high consumption of products and drinks packaged in aluminium cans. Salts consisting of all the natural elements, are considered, in error, by the biochemical industry to be contaminated. In reality, only the naturally occurring calcium, gallium and magnesium found in salt can be absorbed and used by the body. We need salt in its holistic form, with all the natural elements, in order for our bodies to function perfectly.

Natural Salt Mines

Salt is plentiful on the Earth, especially in the oceans, which cover approximately 70% of its surface. The oceans are being degraded by waste and are being polluted with toxic heavy metals including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. Not a single year passes without major news of at least one fractured oil tanker causing a catastrophe. Of course, the poison elements also have their own vibration patterns which are dissonant and therefore, harmful to our bodies. So, today, sea salt doesn't have the same positive impact on our health as it used to. In addition, 89% of all the sea salt producers are refining their salt.

Rock Salt

Mined salt consists of 95% rock salt. Even natural rock salt comes close to beings holistically intact and is more valuable than industrial table salt. From a bio-chemical standpoint, it is not aggressive. However, the elements contained in rock salt haven't been subjected to sufficient compression to be included in the crystal lattice, but are only attached to the surface and in the gaps of the crystalline structure. Natural stone salt is being used today only for feeding animals. It's a cheap alternative to table salt because at least it's a natural product. From a biophysical as well as bio-chemical perspective, it has little value for us. Only under considerable pressure are the elements brought into specific particle size, so as to transcend to an ional or colloidal state. This is important because our cells can only absorb what is available organically or ionic-colloidal. Therefore, we cannot absorb minerals from mineral water because they're not refined enough to penetrate our cell walls. And what doesn't get into our cells cannot be metabolized. Therefore, the best calcium is useless if it cannot be available to the body's cells.
