Don’t be conned by those who tell you that salt is harmful…

Have you ever heard the saying that:

“Oils ain’t Oils”

Well, the same goes for

“Salts ain’t Salts”….

 

There is a huge difference between “refined sea salt”, known as the common table salt that consist of only 2 minerals and the true salt called “unrefined Celtic sea salt”, that consists of 84+ minerals.

The common refined salt

  • It is refined where they extract most of the minerals and all that is left is two minerals, known as sodium and chloride, (NaCl).
  • Chemical additives such as aluminium hydroxide and aluminium silicate are then added to bleach the salt whiter and prevent water absorption, to keep it dry, so it is easier to sprinkle onto foods.

This process that stops water absorption is one of the reasons why salt is harmful to consume.

  • Refined salt can deposit in our joints or in our blood vessels and urinary tract. This refining process reduces healthy vitality and function of our body.
  • It literally behaves like a poison within the system.

The unrefined Celtic Sea salt

  • Organic and pure
  • Celtic Sea salt consists of more than 84 minerals that are highly beneficial to maintaining healthy body function and to promote wellness.
  • It is needed energy and nutrition.
  • Just like there are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids that the human body requires daily, the same goes for Celtic sea salt, we need it in our diet daily.
  • The minerals are as nature intended, in an organic form that is completely and easily absorbable and utilized by our body.

It’s all about maintaining a balance…homeostasis, in this case, with our diet.

An amazing biochemist known as Dr de Langre has studied the powerful benefits of consuming Celtic Sea salt, for over 30 years, He has written two amazing books,

  • “Sea Salt’s Hidden Powers” and
  • “Sea Salt, the Vital Spark for Life”

There are other books and information available today on this topic.

Dr de Langre actually recommends unrefined sea salt for all people with High Blood Pressure, Heart Problems and for many illnesses.

This approach defies some orthodox medical logic, because they only understand the harmful effects of table salt, thus putting all salt including the needed unrefined sea salt, into the bad books.

That is because it is well known that sodium chloride does stress the cardiovascular system. (This is well documented).

In Dr de Langre book, he explains the reasons why

  • The heart muscle works harder on a low salt diet
  • When consuming the incorrect refined salt it results in a breakdown of cellular tissue.
  • You can’t digest food.
  • It is a set up for kidney stress, respiratory and blood sugar imbalances, just to mention a few.

               (In other words it causes all organs to work harder.).

He emphasizes that a rich mineralized unrefined sea salt makes it easier for the heart to pump and to contract.

Sea salt lowers the blood pressure, because it removes the excess sodium from the tissues, and for those with low blood pressure it aids in stabilizing it.

So, without sea salt, there is no healthy exchange between the sodium on the outside of the cell and the potassium on the inside of the cell. For example, it stresses the cardiovascular system, and causes conditions like high blood pressure.

God put 84 plus minerals in salt, to act like a buffer, to protect us from pure “sodium chloride” as it is found in many food items sold in stores.

In the ocean the sodium is buffered. In our blood, sodium is buffered. How wonderful nature is…

In conclusion

An unrefined sea salt restricted diet causes nasty health problems.

  • You cannot function with refined sea salt that has only 2 minerals sodium - chloride, we need the unrefined sea salt with the 84+ minerals.
  • This is because most of our basic and complex functions of our internal world (our body), basic messages sent either electrochemically or via our hormones, rely on a medium that is chemically balanced. Thus, sea salt puts our bodies back into balance.
  • It is important to note that our cells constantly need to be bathed in a sodium-based, extra-cellular fluid environment.

Rene Quinton, the French physiologist stated, “….the internal environment, the unchanging environment of our own “internal ocean”, meaning our blood plasma and tissue fluids, has an amazing similarity to the chemical and mineral composition to that of sea water from the ocean.

We have the same mineral elements found in our bodies.

Our body demands that the sea salt concentration in the blood remain constant. This is what you call maintaining an internal ocean.

Every one of us is born in a salty solution (like a mini ocean) – our mother’s amniotic fluid.

God had a purpose in making our blood like the ocean.

This, as an example that explains why we all need all of the

 Ocean’s minerals as part of our daily needs because it is our make- up.

E.g. how many people suffer from an illness that could be connection to a possible mineral deficiency?

Some points to remember:

  • Biochemically,  without salt, your cells struggle and starve
  • Salt is an energizer, there is bio-electric energy in salt, charged minerals.
  • It is very healing
  • Without salt, we run out of electrolytes, e.g. our batteries run out.
  • In the 1900’s, a medical doctor named Jacques Loeb, did an experiment. He put fish in a tank of water mixed with refined salt but with the same concentration that exists in sea water. All the fish died. If fish are placed in a solution of refined salt and water, it poisons them.
  • Sea salt has biochemical intelligence. It ‘thinks’. It is totally different from the refined dead, lifeless salt.
  • Sea salt is a body cleanser within. It keeps your body biochemically clean.
  • It aids in longevity
  • Foods that you eat cannot be fully digested without sea salt
  • When cooking with sea salt best to add towards the end. Thus don’t boil it.
  • Adding a bit of sea salt to your herbal teas causes it to be more potent.
  • Remember, that without minerals one cannot utilize e.g. vitamins, fats or amino acids.
  • Our energy production from our mitochondria (power house of our cells) requires the need of minerals, for healthy ATP production.
  • Many enzymatic reactions that take place in our body need minerals to function. Have you heard the saying no enzymatic action = no life. Healthy enzymatic function high energy life. Thus enzymes = life.
  • Biochemical pathways in our body require the need of minerals, this is critical.
  • Every living cell in our body is dependent on minerals for proper function, e.g. minerals are needed for the formation of blood and bones, homeostasis, healthy nerve function, etc….
  • In short we require sea salt. We enable the body to be able to function healthily, to aid in growth, in repair, in detoxification, in healing and for the maintenance of over all good health.

The best salt to consume is the unrefined “Salt of the Earth”

Celtic sea salt
