Are You Consuming the Type of Salt That Heals -- or the Type that Kills?

- Nearly all salts have been chemically reduced to dangerous poisons that

pollute your body. But this rare all-natural salt is rich in minerals and trace

elements essential to your health, with NO harmful additives.

I first switched to celtic sea salt, then more recently to " no-salt " , which

contains no sodium at all, just three kinds of potassium. Most of us are

seriously deficient in potassium anyway and sodium is a strong

potassium depletor.

 

So, although Mercola is partly right on this point, he's partly wrong too.

Dear Duncan,

 

Natural sea salt or any other natural salt cannot be bad for health.

Salt is a very essential element and we observe animals spending a lot

of time in salt licks. It is when we start tinkering with salt

assuming one element to be bad and another good that problems occur.

Ordinarily our tastes and cravings should indicate what our body

needs. But today, due to certain reasons, even our tastes betray us.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.

What I was getting at, Jagannath, is reflected in your last two

sentences. Nowadays, few of us experience the " ordinarily " clause.

 

A salt (or sugar) craving may indicate vitamin and mineral

deficiencies that are unrelated to your salt intake, notably b-

vitamins and chromium.

 

And, one element IS bad and another good; excess of anything,

sodium included, IS bad, regardless of whether it's from natural

deposits or not. Balance is important so I use potassium salts to

overcome the nasty effects of excess sodium.

 

I've had no cravings for several years.

Yes Duncan, you are absolutely right. What was being done

subconsciously earlier has to be done consciously now. Who know's

after some more years under the current system we have have to

consciously breathe too.
