An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted.
In 1995, Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health benefits of lower-sodium diets. Pink salt was well known to the ancient Greeks who noted that eating salty food affected basic body functions such as digestion and excretion (urine and stools). This led to salt being used medically.
The healing methods of Hippocrates (460 BC) especially made frequent use of salt. Hippocrates mentions inhalation of steam from salt-water. We know today that the anti-inflammatory effects of inhaled pink salt provide relief from respiratory symptoms (c).
Thus, 2000 years ago, Greek medicine had already discovered topical use of pink salt for skin lesions, drinking pink salted or mineralized waters for digestive troubles and inhaling pink salt for respiratory diseases!
Introduction To The Salt Deficiency Book
Contrary to the claims of a very popular myth (that salt is bad for your health), 63 to 80 kilo adults require the ratio and variety of minerals, trace minerals and elements found in a teaspoon of unprocessed, unadulterated natural salt (real salts), every day because those ingredients are essential to perform the following functions:
- To maintain the body properly hydrated.
- For the brain to communicate with the organs, muscles, cells and bacteria that make up a human being.
- To prevent constipation.
- To digest foods properly.
- To strengthen the immune system.
- To maintain an internal environment that is not favourable to the malignant microorganisms that cause most diseases.
- To repair wounds.
- To regenerate cells.
- To perform physical activities and to carry out a myriad of other bodily functions.
These are some of the reason why, regardless of what scientific studies done with table-salt conclude, the minerals and trace minerals Himalayan Pink Salts contain will continue being essential nutrients for our bodies to live healthy and function properly.
They had to be present in the salt-water lagoon where single cell organisms developed a billion years ago. They were also required for single cell organisms to evolve into multi cell creatures, and for multi cell creatures to become crustaceans, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and mammals. They will continue being essential to make the amniotic fluid similar to ocean water, the type of environment fertilized human eggs need to become embryos, fetuses, and healthy babies.
An abundance of the ingredients in pink salts are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion years ago before single cell organisms appeared on earth. Lack of them is synonymous with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young age.
Deficiency of these essential nutrients accelerates our departure from this Earth, because the body is programmed to become progressively constipated and dehydrated whenever it senses that its occupant is not consuming pink salts and starts becoming partially, severely or chronically deficient of the minerals, trace minerals and other ingredients in pink salts. And then the colon becomes a cesspool from which the body gets minerals, and a poisoned well from which the body drinks while you sleep to compensate for what people don’t consume, drink, or are not able to retain.
Salt Intake is Vital To Maintain or Recover Optimum Health
When organic, unrefined Himalayan Pink Salt is lacking in your diet, weakness and sickness follow
Refined Salt: White Poison – The problem with common table salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat! Our common table salt no longer has anything in common with the Himalayan Pink Salt. Salt now a day is mainly sodium chloride and not salt.
With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt was “chemically cleaned” and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200 degrees F, changing the salt’s chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. The common table salt we use for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements.
The Himalayan Pink Salt has 84 chemical elements. For our body to be healthy we need all those elements. When we use the common salt, we are in deficit of 81 elements which means we are somehow contributing to becoming weaker, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases. Why not use the Himalayan Pink Salt.
Himalayan Pink Salt is one of the most profound re-discoveries of our time. For centuries, the energy/information content, in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral rich pink salt, were utilized by doctors for treating most every disorder known to humans, and with unfailing success.
Recently, this ancient knowledge was once again uncovered by biophysicists and brought to light in the acclaimed book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life by Dr. Barbara Hendel and biophysicist Peter Ferreira.
Salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly humans. Salt regulates the water content of the body. Water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to stay outside the cells.
It balances the amount of water that stays outside the cells. There are two oceans of water in the body; one ocean is held inside the cells of the body, and the other ocean is held outside the cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the volume of these oceans, and this balance is achieved by pink salt – Himalayan Pink Salt.
When water is available to get inside the cells freely, it is filtered from the outside salty ocean and injected into the cells that are being overworked despite their water shortage. This is the reason why in severe dehydration we develop an edema and retain water.
The design of our bodies is such that the extent of the ocean of water outside the cells is expanded to have the extra water available for filtration and emergency injection into vital cells. The brain commands an increase in salt and water retention by the kidneys. This is how we get an edema when we don’t drink enough water.
