Many people believe that salt is harmful to humans. The truth is that we cannot live without salt (sodium chloride). Our bodies make an essential digestive fluid called hydrochloric acid from salt. When we do not get enough natural salt in our diet, we must add supplemental salt in order to digest our food.
All humans must have a continual supply of this absolutely essential element to maintain a healthy body. Over and over tests have shown the same results. Weakness and sickness occur when salt is withheld. A salt-restricted diet causes weakness which naturally increases as you grow older. The longer the salt is absent, the weaker you will become.
When people learn that salt is essential for a healthy body, they ask, “Why are so many people with heart disease put on salt-restricted diets? The problem is not the salt itself, but the condition of the salt. About 50 years ago major salt companies in the U.S. began to dry their salt in huge kilns. The temperature reaches as high as 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperature changes the chemical structure of the salt. Very basic and fundamental changes take place which causes the processed salt to adversely affect the human body. Additives or other treatments may also be used. It was at this time that heart disease, arthritis and other chemical diseases began to increase in this country at an alarming rate.
Today, heart disease and arthritis are so prevalent that even small children suffer these problems. Many countries do not alter their salt supply and in those countries heart disease and arthritis are so rare that many doctors have never seen a case. They eat their salt in its natural state as it comes from the mine or from the ocean, dried by the sun’s rays.
Try this! Mix a spoonful of salt in water and let it stand overnight. If the salt collects on the bottom of the glass, it has been processed. Natural salt dissolves. Salt that will not dissolve in water cannot dissolve in your body. In your body it has a tendency to collect in improper places. Any foreign substance that collects in organs and tissues will eventually result in malfunctioning of essential body chemical processes. Among these are heart disease and arthritis as well as all chemical diseases that are a result of hardening of body tissues-for example, hardening of the arteries and calcium deposits in the joints.
As far as we know, all salt on the market-unless specifically labeled- is artificially heated. Salt is approximately 1% calcium by volume. When it is heated in high temperature kilns, the calcium is damaged to such an extent that the body cannot use it. This results in calcification of the inner linings of the blood vessels (hardening of the arteries), calcium deposits in the joints (arthritis), and muscles (inflammations). Calcium is vital to body function, but it must be in usable form.
More and more people are showing salt deficiencies that result in poor adrenal, pancreas, and spleen function. Without salt, the body lacks the only commonly used food substance to make hydrochloric acid. (Many middle aged and elderly people do not have enough). Could it be that the low sodium craze is actually causing MORE problems than it is solving? BALANCE is the key. Try sun-dried sea salt. It may be a huge factor in your energy level.
Natural organic, sun-dried salt is in balanced form. It will not cause calcification. It has a tendency to dissolve the damaging deposits of calcium already present in the body. Natural organic salt is unheated and untreated and has been cured by nature, the great purifier. It has a delightful flavor. Many people have derived great benefit from this salt. See what it will do for you.
Suggested Ways to Use Sun-Dried Salt
- Never cook salt.
- Sprinkle on raw food and already cooked foods. Use it to taste.
- 1/4 teaspoon in glass of warm water for headache and indigestion.
- 1/4 teaspoon in glass of warm water before breakfast has a tendency to neutralize acidity, produce hydrochloric acid and less pain in varicose veins.
- 1 teaspoon in quart of warm water for irrigation of sinuses, for asthma, also for enema, cleanser, healer and natural bowel movement.
- 1 teaspoon in glass of warm water for gargle.
- 1 teaspoon in pint of warm water for a laxative.
- Mother Nature’s natural healer and cleanser for wounds, athlete’s foot, dandruff, etc.
