fun facts about salt

Some of the medical websites I checked when I had a friend with high blood pressure said that eating up to the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of salt per day was safe! The sites never addressed the amount of salt in milligrams that we get from the foods we eat. Because of these websites, my friend was misled into believing that salt was not harming him (since his blood pressure went up a notch or two every month). He began to salt everything. One morning he put so much salt in our oatmeal that I gagged and almost threw up. I knew this information was wrong, but I had nothing to corroborate my instinct, until I read the hidden powers of Sea Salt, then it all occurred to me. I hope it helps you too.

Fun facts about salt:

o Refined salts, even in saltwater concentrations, will kill saltwater fish. So what is the fate of our internal organs when fed commercial salt?

o Fruits and vegetables have almost no salt. This means that a vegetarian diet will eventually create an anemic condition and other salt-deficiency diseases. This is why many vegetarians crave salty snacks. Only when salt is added to fruits and vegetables, saliva and gastric secretions can easily break down carbohydrates.

o The modern intravenous fluid, Lactated Ringers, is a reproduction of “Quinton’s Plasma”, a potable seawater used by the French alchemist René Quinton.

o Salt towns: The towns that end in “lick”, “wich” and “saal” are towns that were founded because of the availability of salt.

o Human consumption of salt represents only 7% of the total production of salt, the rest (93%) is used by the chemical industry and in manufacturing for things such as the manufacture of explosives, chlorine gas, agrofertilizers and in the industrial of the plastic.

o Magnesium is extracted from common table salt: because the chemical industry needs pure sodium and chloride, vital magnesium is extracted so that it flows more smoothly, which means it can be sold for better profits on the chemical market .

o Added Fluid Agents: To prevent moisture from being reabsorbed, salt refiners also add sodium aluminosilicate or sodium yellow prussiate as desiccants and 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, thus causing health disorders.

o Ocean salt alone possesses the power to restore the integrity of the human internal seas, our bodily fluids.

o Each of the body’s 92 essential minerals is found in the ocean.

o Salt Refining – When most salts are harvested, they undergo a series of harsh steps that break down the molecular structure, steal its essential minerals, and adulterate the salt with chemical additives so it is free flowing. It is then bleached and iodized. This refining process makes the salt poisonous to your body because it removes the essential nutrients and vitality present in sun-cured sea salt.

o True sea salt should be moist to the touch with its prism-like “mother liquor” or bitters surrounding it. When ground, the gases produced smell slightly of violets.

o The mother liquor has health benefits: Biologists can attest that this mother liquor restores hydro-electrolyte imbalance, a disorder that causes loss of immune response, creates allergies and causes many health problems.

o Celtic Sea Salt is the lowest in sodium of all available salts and the richest in precious beneficial elements available in any salt.

o Once re-dissolved in water or in the moisture of food while cooking, Celtic sea salt bears an uncanny resemblance to human blood and bodily fluids.

o The late French scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel kept a chicken heart alive for over 37 years by keeping the heart pulsating in a solution of sea salt. Dr. Carrel voluntarily ended the experiment after a third of a century, having shown that living cells can have physical immortality. Incredible, huh?

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 diseases, prevent some types of cancer, increase cellular energy, and increase resistance to infections and bacterial diseases.
