Facts About Salt
By Denice
Moffat
Some
of the medical websites I checked out when I had a friend with high
blood pressure stated that eating up to an equivalent of 1 teaspoon
of salt per day was safe! The sites never addressed the amount of
salt in milligrams that we are getting from the foods we eat. Because
of these websites, my friend was mislead into believing that salt
was not hurting him (as his blood pressure went up a notch or two
each month.) He started salting everything. One morning he put so
much salt in our oatmeal I gagged and almost vomited. I knew this
information was wrong, but I did not have anything to substantiate
my gut instinct—until I read Sea Salt’s Hidden Powers—then
it all came together for me. I hope it helps you as well.

Facts about salt:
•
Refined salts even in salt water concentration will kill salt water
fish. So, what is the fate of our internal organs when fed commercial
salt?
•
Fruits and vegetables are nearly salt-free. This means that a vegetarian
diet will eventually create an anemic condition and other salt-starvation
diseases. That is why many vegetarians crave salty snack foods.
Only when salt is added to fruits and vegetables can saliva and
gastric secretions readily break down carbohydrates
•
The modern intravenous fluid, Lactated Ringers, is a reproduction
of “Plasma of Quinton,” a drinkable sea water used by
the French alchemist Rene Quinton.
•
Salt towns: Towns ending in “lick”, “wich”
and “saal” are towns that were founded because of salt
availability.
•
Human salt consumption accounts for only 7% of the total salt production,
the balance (93%) is used by the chemical industry and in manufacturing
for things like manufacturing explosives, chlorine gas, agro-fertilizers
and in the plastics industry.
•
Magnesium is extracted out of common table salt: Because the chemical
industry needs pure sodium and chloride, vital magnesium is taken
out to make it flow smoother which means it can be sold for a better
profit on the chemical market.
•
Flowing agents added: To prevent moisture from being reabsorbed,
salt refiners also add alumino-silicate of sodium or yellow prussiate
of soda as desiccants plus bleaches. This salt is then sold in stores
for human consumption. The problem is that this adulteration makes
the salt unable to combine with human body fluids so it causes health
disturbances.
•
Ocean salt alone possesses the power to restore wholeness to the
human internal seas, our body fluids.
•
Every one of the body’s 92 essential minerals is found in
the ocean.
•
Salt refining: When most salts are harvested, they are put through
a series of harsh steps that cracks the molecular structure, robs
its essential minerals and adulterates the salt with chemical additives
to make it free-flowing. It is then bleached and iodized. This refining
process makes the salt poisonous to your body because it takes out
the essential nutrients and aliveness present in sun-cured sea salt.
•
True sea salt should be moist to the touch with its prism-like “mother
liquor” or bitterns surrounding it. When ground the gasses
produced smell a little like violets.
•
Mother liquor has health benefits: Biologists can attest that this
mother liquor restores hydro-electrolytic imbalance, a disorder
that causes the loss of immune response, creates allergies and causes
many health problems.
•
Celtic sea salt is the lowest in sodium of all the salts available
and the richest in precious beneficial elements available in any
salt.
•
Once re-dissolved in water or in the moisture of food as it cooks,
Celtic Sea Salt bears an amazing likeness to human blood and body
fluids.
•
The late French scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel kept a chicken heart
alive for over 37 years by having the pulsating heart in a solution
of sea salt. Dr. Carrel voluntarily ended the experiment after a
third of a century, having proven that living cells can have physical
immortality. Amazing, eh?
The
Healing Properties of Celtic Sea Salt:
Celtic
sea salt has countless medicinal uses. For example it can help correct
excess acidity, restore good digestion, relieve allergies and skin
disease, prevent some types of cancer, boost cellular energy and
give heightened resistance to infections and bacterial disease.
