Greetings Members:This was sent to me today and I found it interesting enough to send to you since "Salt" has been a topic of discussion lately.Elaine Original Message----- Dr. Robert O. Young [phmiraclesecrets] Friday, October 05, 2007 1:03 AM Gino Should Doctors Start Recommending Salt? Dear Gino, Salt has become an inexpensive and readily available commodity that is taken for granted by most people. But in older times, wars were fought over salt, and huge taxes were also levied on

it. In some places, salt was in such high demand that it was minted into coins that were as valuable as gold and functioned as the basic currency for ancient civilizations. Where salt was scarce it was traded ounce for ounce with gold-for as the Roman statesman Cassiodorus observed, 'Some seek not gold, but there lives not a man who does not need salt.' Because everyone, rich and poor, craves salt, rulers going back at least as far as

the Chinese emperor Yu in 2200 B.C. have tried mightily to control and tax it. Salt taxes helped finance empires throughout Europe and Asia, but also inspired a lively black market, smuggling rings, riots, even revolutions. Pure salt consists of the elements sodium and chloride. Its chemical name is sodium chloride and its formula is NaCl. Its mineral name is halite. Table salt is a chemically simple combination of two components, sodium and chloride. The basic components of salt are, by themselves, are foundational to life. Sodium is the foundational element for making other elements, and chloride helps to buffer acids in the stomach when ingested. In combination, though, the two elements form sodium chloride, commonly known as salt. Salt is essential to life. Each of us contain from four to eight ounces of salt. In the body, salt is as important to humans as water or air. It helps maintain the normal volume of blood in the body and also helps keep the correct balance of water in and around the cells and tissues. Salt plays an important part in the digestion of

food and is essential in making the heart beat correctly. It is also necessary for the formation and proper function of nerve fibers, which carry impulses to and from the brain. Sodium, together with calcium, magnesium and potassium, helps regulate the body's metabolism. The sodium in salt is an essential nutrient. In combination with

potassium, it regulates the acid-alkaline balance in our blood and is also necessary for proper muscle functioning. When we don't get enough sodium chloride, we experience muscle cramps, dizziness, exhaustion and, in extreme cases, convulsions and death. Salt is essential to our well being. For years, many researchers have claimed that salt threatens public health, mostly by contributing to high blood pressure. Recently, though,

other researchers have begun to change salt's reputation. A recent review of salt studies conducted over the past two decades concluded that there's no reason for doctors to recommend reducing sodium intake for people with normal blood pressure. It may be that most of us are protected from excessive salt by our kidneys, which regulate the body's sodium level and

eliminates any excess. Salt cures aren't new. In the early 19th Century, sick people traveled to rudimentary spas such as French Lick Springs in Indiana and Big Bone Lick, Kentucky, to soak in salt springs. Today's more luxurious spas offer salt baths, glows, rubs and polishes to exfoliate dead skin, stimulate circulation and relieve stress. All salts come from a sea, but are processed in different ways. The oceans that once covered the earth left a generous supply of salt beds and underground deposits. There are two basic methods for removing salt from the ground: room-and-pillar mining and

solution mining. In room-and-pillar mining, shafts are sunk into the ground, and miners break up the rock salt with drills. The miners remove chunks of salt, creating huge rooms that are separated by pillars of salt. The room-and-pillar method requires that about half the salt be left behind as pillars. In solution mining, a well is drilled into the ground, and

two pipes are lowered into the hole. The pipes consist of a small central pipe inside a larger pipe. The brine is either shipped as a liquid or evaporated in special devices called vacuum pans to form solid salt. Crystal salt deposits are found on every continent. Oceans contained an estimated four-and-a-half million cubic miles of it. Only about five percent of the world's annual salt production ends up as seasoning at the dinner table. The vast majority, however, pours into chemical plants, where it leads the five major raw materials utilized by industry: salt, sulfur, limestone, coal and petroleum. Salt seasons food and drink, acts as a preservative, cures

leather, makes glass, rubber and wood pulp. Salt has some 14,000 uses, more than any other mineral. Salt is essential. In humans, it is the basic component of all our body fluids and our life. So here is the question: Should Doctors Start Recommending Salt? The answer: Absolutely! Salt is at the foundation of keeping our bodies alkaline. Salt is foundational for making sodium bicarbonate to buffer dietary and metabolic acids. Salt is necessary for the creation and transport of energy. Salt is necessary to keep our bodies running. Salt is necessary to have thoughts. Salt is the foundational atom for making magnesium, potassium and calcium. Salt regulates our temperature. Salt is necessary to create calcium for making strong bones. All fluids of the body are salty to maintain alkalinity and to protect and preserve health, energy and vitality. Salt is as important as oxygen. Without salt there would be no plant, animal or human life on earth. This is Dr. Robert O. Young’s latest e-mail which is right in line with what we know, sodium chloride, the most important elements on the planet, but they have to be in balance with all other minerals……OceanSolution™ is the key, pure, clean, concentrated ocean-water for your plants, some people use it straight out of the bottle, they spray it on their holographic food which is grown in depleted soils, using it as living salt instead of lifeless dead salt……………..so now they can get all of these minerals in their diet.

organic sodium and table salt are not the same thing.. I noticed they used

them interchangeably.. In the same way synthetic vitamins, and whole food

vitamins, or vitamins from whole foods are not the same, even though the

chemical composition may be the same.. A better analogy may be a raw almond
