'Real Salt' is the Right Kind of Salt!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone:

 

A friend sent me the following article concerning the use of the " Right Kind of

Salt " . The article is very long, but it is really interesting!

 

Dr. George Mitchell, (a clinical ecologist in Wash. DC. who not only saved my

life, but made it worth living again), has his Ph,D in nutrition and he always

told me never to use the table salt that's sold in the supermarkets because it

has been processed; causing it to lose most of its nutrients plus they

use bleaching agents. Supermarket table salt also contains sugar and aluminum;

and as many of you are aware aluminum has been associated with Alzheimer's

disease. I have always been of the belief that salt contains essential elements

necessary for our bodies survival and felt it was wrong for people to be

deprived of

it ( same with eggs) ..something so perfect that nature provided could not be

harmful to us! And it's not, it is what we do with it that makes it harmful: ie

processing of the salt and the factory farming of the poor chickens and the use

of antibiotics in their feed.

 

When I was reading of all the benefits gained from using the right kind of salt

not only to us, but our animals as well,it made me want to jump up, run out and

buy a salt lick for my two house bunnies. I wonder if the store bought salt

licks would be providing the " right kind of salt " ? Anyway, the article does give

addresses where you can buy the " right kind of salt " .

 

I've always purchased " sea salt " from the Health Food stores, but the article

states that this too, although better than the supermarket table salt, has its

problems due to the processing procedures.

 

 

After reading the article, I purchased one of the recommended bags of " Real

salt " and have been using it on my food for two weeks now. I had been planning

on writing to Misty and asking for advice with regard to leg and toe cramps that

I suffer from after aqua aerobics when I do the stretching exercises. But I'm

happy to say, this past week, after using 'real salt' daily, I have not had the

slightest inkling of a cramp!( Misty I think you've been reprieved! LOL).

 

 

Read on and please share your thoughts about this ...it could be the missing

link for some of the health problems we and our bunnies and other pets suffer

from. Printed below is only a small portion of the article, just click onto the

link to read in its entirety.

THE RIGHT KIND SALT IS VITAL FOR YOUR ANIMALS TOO!

Herds of elephants risk injury and death in a perilous journey to hidden salt

caves where they supplement their sodium deficient diets. Our pets also suffer

from sogdium deficiency. Farmers place

salt-blocks on their pasture so that their livestock and all other animals can

lick the salt to their heart's content.

 

An abundance of the ingredients in unrefined real salt are as synonymous with

life today as they were a billion years ago before single cells appeared here.

Lack of them is synonymous with birth

defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young

age. Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea

covered what is now North America. Pure, natural

salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water

in the sea evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits.

 

In her marvelous book, Wild Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We

Can Learn From Them Cindy Engles, Ph.D. documents that for millennia, humans

have observed animals in the wild eating

plants and minerals and applying naturally occurring topical antitoxins from the

same sources to combat infectious wounds, parasites and internal disorders.

Herds of elephants risk injury and

death in a perilous journey to hidden salt caves where they supplement their

sodium deficient diets. Monkeys rub poisonous millipedes on their fur to repel

biting, disease-carrying insects.

Birds line their nests with parasite-resistant herbs. Engel details a world

where nature is the pharmacy and every animal is its own practitioner.

 

Alert: don't supplement your animal's diet with sodium chloride (common table

salt); all of the other beneficial elements have been removed. Animals need

unrefined, unprocessed real salt. Major

producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1200

degrees F, changing he salt's chemical structure, which in turn adversely

affects the human body. Avoid the common refined table salt. Domesticated

animals need the right kind of salt.

Hi Evonne,

 

This is the kind of salt I use -

 

http://www.celtic-seasalt.com/celticsalt.html

 

It is the best I have found.

 

Be sure to click on other links in that page - very interesting reading

about the necessity of salt - not just sodium chloride (which is table

salt), but all the minerals that are naturally occurring in that type of

salt.
