Himalayan and Celtic Sea Salt- good or bad for you

[Guest guest]

Don,

 

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I would like to share the

source of my information regarding Celtic and Himalayan salt.

 

" For a mineral to be utilized at the intracellular level, it must be in

an angstrom-size (that is , so infinitesimal it is measured in units of

angstroms), and these particles must be completely water-soluble. It is

only the ionic form, or angstrom-size level, of minerals that can enter

the cells and activate the proper DNA structures to actuate the guiding

frequencies for the function of the body. An angstrom is one

-thousandth of a micron, and one-millionth of a meter. The

significance of this information is that almost all the mineral

supplements on the market are larger than micron sizes. Now, it can be

a little confusing, but think about it this way: Particles that are

micron in size and larger will be absorbed by the blood, but they are

too large to be absorbed intracellularly and inside the nucleus. These

larger forms stay in the bloodstream , and eventually become deposited

in various tissue locations. Angstrom-size particles travel through the

cells, and if the body doesn't need them, it will simply discharge them

with no buildup of minerals to crate potential toxicity in the tissues.

 

We observe that the roots of plants are designed to break down the soil

and utilize and absorb mineral particles, at angstrom-size-- that's

what they do. With the help of fulvic acid in the humus material,

plants are able to take these minerals in, and break them down into

angstrom-size.. which they use. Once we understand that, we understand

that the vegetables we eat transfer angstrom-size minerals are key to

optional mineral absorption. It takes about twelve years for farmland

to become deficient of angstrom-size minerals. For this reason,

farmers would often move every twelve years. These excess mineral of

micron-size or larger can cause a variety of problems. The paradox,

which is hard to understand, is that while the tissues are full of

minerals, in a sense, the cell is lacking in the angstrom-size

minerals. This is one reason why we can us salt (Himalayan or Celtic

sea salt) products for our bodies with amazing results, because they

are in the ionic angstrom-sizes. If salt isn't in the ionic form, we

simply aren't able to absorb minerals into our bodies. Table salt as

well as any heated salt is covalently bonded. It is not available for

use in the body and can cause a toxic build-up. This may also

potentially apply to salts that are sun dried. the process of sun

drying, like many other forms of heating, causes electrons not to be

available and the ions to form more tight bonds that make them

inaccessible for assimilation. If salt creates a savory and watery

feeling in the mouth, then it is still ionic. If it dries the mouth,

this suggests that it has converted to the less assimilable covalent

form. Although larger miner forms or covalently bonded salt may help

us initially on one level ,, eventually they have the potential of

building up to toxic overload. Paradoxically, one of the most

effective ways to pull out these accumulated minerals is to provide the

same mineral in angstrom-size. Angstrom-size minerals act as building

blocks for more than six thousand different enzymes needed for optimal

function in our bodies. If we don't have the proper minerals for those

enzymes to work in the particular organs that are needed, we do not, in

a sense, have the cellular building materials for repair and

regeneration of our tissues " (Gabriel Cousens, Spiritual Nutrition pp

415,416

 

" The vegan diet tends to wash chlorine out of the system; therfore, it

is important to bring a lot of chlorine and sodium salts into the

system through these foods and natural salts such as Celtic,

Himalayan.... " ( ibid. p 429) " Chlorine unites with potassium to work

within the muscle system and give tone to the motor centers. It also

can help excite the sexual system. Chlorine helps support the blood

cell function, and is obviously important in the formation of

hydrochloric acid. It's a cleanse of the lymph, and it enhances

peristalsis and circulation. Chlorine helps to heal blood diseases,

nervous disorders, poor muscle function, skin inflammation, lymphatic

congestion, and congested livers. " (ibid, p. 429)

 

" Often people have extracellular fluids that are quite mineral

depleted. The least expensive way to ameliorate this is with ionic

salts such as Himalayan , Celtic, Krystal or Real salt. These salts

are non-heated salts. They have ionic bonding. " (ibid., p479)

 

 

As you can see. I have given the question as to whether all salt is the

same some thought and done some research on it. I have reached a

different conclusion than you have. My conclusions are: One, To

function properly my body needs salt at the angstrom level. Two, I

agree with you that getting this salt from my food is the best source

but since most land on which food is grown in this country is overused

and I have no way of knowing if the farmers are doing anything to

remineralize their soils, I should supplement the food, although one

could consider salt part of their food. Three, Himalayan and Celtic

salt are angstrom size salt and have additional minerals that my body

probably needs at angstrom size. Therefor, the use of Four, Himalayan

and Celtic sea salt will help my body maintain a healthy status as it

is in a form that my body can utilize and/or covert into other

products, such as chlorine, that it needs to function.
