Himalayan Crystal Salt - Salt for Life

Common Salt

The Salt in Our Kitchen

Only an insignificantly small amount of the worldwide salt production ends up in our kitchens as "salt", here commonly referred to as table salt.

Through intensive advertisement campaigns, the salt industry tries to convince the general public of the health advantage of halogens, such as the highly toxic iodine, (in form of iodide compound) in salt. Also, fluoride is another popular additive to table salt, an extremely reactive, greenish-yellowish, piercingly sharp gas with stinging odour that also belongs to the group of halogens. Iodide is artificially added, claiming to be of benefit to the thyroid, and fluoride, supposedly to strengthen our teeth. However, both components only add to the perils of sodium chloride.

The questionable and refutable hypothesis that Germany is a country which lacks iodine, has caused not only the entire country of Germany, but also Switzerland and Austria to be indirectly, forcefully medicated with iodine. This commercial campaign started in Germany in 1995 and has been one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last twenty years. Therefore, it is no surprise that the majority of the German general public believes that the artificially, iodine "enriched" table salt is actually healthy however, on adding iodine and fluoride to sodium chloride, must be for them and therefore willing to consume it. The scientific insights critically examined. Meanwhile, more people are suffering from the consequences of these substances than are claimed to be helped by them. The body is simply not in any position to metabolise artificially provided iodine and fluoride compounds. Amongst scientists, it is already known that nitrates belong to the most aggressive carcinogenic substances, and breed selective cancer in numerous organs. Food additives such as iodide, fluoride, polyphenols and metal salts have an accelerating effect on the production of nitrates in the stomach. Iodide is first on the list of substances that catalyse and accelerate the production of nitrates, by literally six fold. One important consideration for cancer prevention is to completely avoid iodide. Japan with the highest iodine deposits in the world, also has a 25 percent rate of thyroid cancer. In other countries the thyroid cancer rates decrease to the extent of the decrease in iodide consumption. Less iodide means less cancer. Even the renowned German magazine "Öko-test" (Eco-test), depicted halogen compounds from such halogens as iodine, fluoride, bromine and chloride as inappropriate for consumption, because most of these compounds cause allergies and are carcinogenic. A US study found that adding iodide to salt could be the cause of a decrease in male sperm cells.

Added to this, table salt most often contains preservatives, added but not mandatory to be labelled, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, as well as aluminium hydroxide, to prevent the grains of salt from clumping together. Aluminium is a light metal that is known to accumulate in the brain. It is assumed that the high rate of Alzheimer's disease in the US is linked to a high consumption of pre-processed foods, packed in aluminium, as well as to a high consumption of soft drinks from aluminium cans. The distress caused by aluminium, undermines the bridging of nervous pathways, which blocks our thought process. After all, it is the natural salt, containing all natural elements of the Earth, removed as impurities by biochemists, that enables our brain processes to even function. Salt consisting of all the natural elements, is considered, in error, by the biochemical industry to be contaminated. In reality, only the naturally occurring calcium, potassium 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. We need, calcium, potassium and magnesium in the exact proportion and order as they appear in natural salt in order for our body to absorb and optimally utilize these minerals and trace elements. We need salt in its holistic state, with all its inherent natural elements, so that our body can function the way it is designed to.

How Table Salt Burdens the Body

While our body only requires the minute amount of 0.2g of salt per day, most of us suffer from a lack of salt, even though we're over saturated with sodium chloride. When our consumption of salt is less than 0.2g per day, salt craving kicks in. The average daily consumption of table salt in western countries is between 12g and 20g. However, our body is only able to excrete 5-7g a day through our kidneys, depending on our age, constitution and sex. The body recognizes table salt as an aggressive cellular poison, an unnatural substance, and wants to eliminate it as quickly as possible in order to protect itself. This causes constant overburden on our excretive organs. In almost every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process. Therefore, by adding 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 ionise 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.

The Consequences of Consuming Table Salt

The result of consuming common table salt is the formation of overly acidic oedema, or excess fluid in the body tissue, which is also the cause of cellulite. That's why doctors tell us to avoid salt. For every milligram of sodium chloride that cannot be eliminated, the body uses 23 ml, or 23 times the amount of its own cell water to neutralize the salt. If the sodium chloride is still too high, the body re-crystallises the table salt by using available non-degradable animal proteins, (as those found in milk), which also have no value and 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 re-crystallising 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.

How Salt Became Sodium Chloride

With the advent of industrial development, natural salt was "chemically cleaned" and reduced to the combination of sodium and chloride. Essential minerals and trace elements were removed as impurities. However, sodium chloride is an unnatural, isolated, unwholesome substance having nothing in common with salt. Similar to white, refined sugar, salt, once regarded as white gold, was converted into white poison. However, there is a higher reason for salt having been endowed with all the natural elements found in our bodies. Sodium chloride is an aggressive substance, which biochemically is perpetually seeking an equalizing counterpart so that the body's ph can always remain neutral. Sodium chloride needs its natural counterpart in order for it to produce its effect. The natural counterparts, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals and trace elements, demonstrate, from a biophysical standpoint, specific frequency patterns. These patterns ensure the geometric structures in our body. When these structures are missing, we are without energy and are lifeless. Salt should not be used just to add flavour to our food, but for its vibration pattern, which is similar to our body!

Natural Salt Deposits

Salt is plentiful on Earth, especially in the oceans, which cover approximately 70 percent of the surface. However, the oceans are being degraded to waste disposal-dumping facilities and are being polluted with heavy metals like, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and more. 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, 80 percent of all the sea salt producers are refining their salt. But there is still sufficient pure, holistic salt available on Earth, left when millions of years ago the sun evaporated the primal oceans. This crystal salt that exists within the Himalayan Mountains is still as pure as the ancient primal oceans and contains all the elements as found in our body. Such a crystalline sole is a vast source of energy.
