Hi Boomer - To my mind, there are two body essentials, without which nothing

else functions: water and salt.

 

The need for water is obvious - it transports nutrients, clears out wastes,

glues the cells together, inflates and catalyzes electrical impulses in the

brain. Without water we wither/wrinkle - or grow fat, since fat is what

replaces water's gluing action when we don't drink enough. This includes our

brain since, like a sponge, it shrinks and hardens without enough water

(normally 65%, I believe).

 

As far as salt is concerned, I'm talking about sea salt, not table salt.

Yes, as many of us know, there is a difference - a HUGE difference, as it

turns out. (I've just been reading up on it.) Scientists have proven that

the basic composition of our blood plasma is very close to seawater. That's

what made them suspect in the first place that way back in time, we emerged

from the sea.

 

A good sea salt contains a high percentage of the 90 or so trace

minerals/metals in the sea, that we also need to make our bodies work.

Missing elements cause the glandular, digestive, nervous and other essential

systems to break down. Those elements are in the same balance we need, too.

Celtic sea salt, one of the highest quality sea salts in the world, contains

84 of those elements. Table salt contains two: sodium and chloride. Any

wonder that so many people are sodium or chloride toxic?

 

It was interesting to note the reason that table salt is so low. The

companies that have been manufacturing our salt for so long are selling us

their leftovers, essentially. According to the book I read, the public makes

up only 7% of their customers. The other 93% are industrialists using salt

in their manufacturing processes. The very trace minerals so essential to

our physical survival can actually ruin industrial machinery, so salt

manufacturers take them out. Some they sell separately, most they just dump.

How's that for motivation to spend a little extra on a good quality sea

salt?
