Himalayan
Crystal Salt versus Table Salt
By Peter
Ferreira
As common as saltshakers are to our kitchen, so are the numbers of diseases
associated with salt’s daily use. Life is not possible without salt. But our
consumption of salt is killing us. Why is that? Because our regular table salt
no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt. Salt nowadays
is mainly sodium chloride and not salt.
Natural crystal salt consists not only of two, but also of all natural elements.
These are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been built and
originally found existing in the "primal ocean" from where all life
originated. Interestingly enough, our body is a sole, containing the same salty
solution as that of the primal sea; that is, a fluid consisting of water and
salt.
It also has the same ratio of concentration that existed in the days when life
left the primal sea. This sole flows through more than 56,000 miles of waterways
and blood vessels throughout our organism with the forces of gravity and levity
and regulates and balances the functions of our body.
Himalayan Crystal Salt is more than sodium and chloride. Himalayan Crystal Salt
can actually be viewed as food. When we speak of salt, we mean salt in its
original form: holistic, wholesome, unaltered, natural salt, as it has
crystallized in the Earth over millions of years. When we speak of
"table" salt that is sold in the supermarket, we refer to it as sodium
chloride with additives, which is what it really is. Natural Himalayan crystal
salt contains all the elements of which the human body is comprised. From the
periodic table of elements we are familiar with 94 natural elements (stable as
well as unstable).
Apart from inert gases, all of these elements can be found in crystal salt.
Hence, crystal salt contains all natural minerals and trace elements that are
found in the human body. We perceive crystal salt as being the totality of all
natural elements. This may not be entirely correct according to chemistry,
however we will continue to use the term crystal salt in this context. The
number of the respective elements contained in the crystal salt is biophysically
irrelevant to this study.
With the advent of industrial development, natural salt was "chemically
cleaned" and reduced to the combination of sodium and chloride. Essential
minerals and trace elements were removed as impurities. However, sodium chloride
is an unnatural, isolated, unwholesome substance having nothing in common with
salt. Similar to white, refined sugar, salt, once regarded as white gold, was
converted into white poison.
However, there is a higher reason for salt having been endowed with all the
natural elements found in our bodies. Sodium chloride is an aggressive
substance, which biochemically, is perpetually seeking an equalizing counterpart
so that the body’s pH can always remain neutral. Sodium chloride needs its
natural counterpart in order for it to produce its effect.
The natural counterparts, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and other
minerals and trace elements, demonstrate, from a biophysical standpoint,
specific frequency patterns. These patterns ensure the geometric structures in
our body. When these structures are missing, we are without energy and are
lifeless. Salt should not be used just to add flavour to our food, but for its
vibration pattern, which is similar to our body!
While our body only requires the minute amount of 0.007 ounces of salt per day,
most of us suffer from a lack of salt, even though we’re over-saturated with
sodium chloride. When our consumption of salt is less than 0.007 ounces per day,
salt craving kicks in. The average, per capita, daily consumption of table salt
in the
U.S.
is between 0.4 ounces and 0.7 ounces. However, our body is only able to excrete
0.17 ounces to 0.25 ounces a day through our kidneys, depending on our age,
constitution and sex.
The body recognizes table salt as an aggressive cellular poison, an unnatural
substance, and wants to eliminate it as quickly as possible in order to protect
itself. This causes a constant overburden on our organs of excretion. In almost
every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process. So,
by adding salt to the already-salted food, the body receives more salt than it
can get rid of.
The body now tries to isolate the over-dose of salt. In this process, water
molecules surround the sodium chloride in order to ionize it into sodium and
chloride to neutralize it. For this process, the water is taken from our cells
as the body sacrifices its most perfectly structured cell water in order to
neutralize sodium chloride. With this, the dehydrated body cells die.
The result of consuming common table salt is the formation of overly acidic
edema, or excess fluid in the body tissue, which is also the cause of cellulite.
That’s why doctors tell us to avoid salt. For every .035 ounces of sodium
chloride that cannot be eliminated, the body uses 23 times (23x) the amount of
its own cell water to neutralize the salt.
If the sodium chloride is still too high, the crystallization of the table salt
occurs as the body uses available non-degradable animal proteins (as those found
in milk), which also have no value and cannot be broken down and eliminated. The
body uses these proteins to produce uric acid in order to get rid of the excess
salt. As the body cannot dispose of uric acid, it binds itself with the sodium
chloride to form new crystals that are deposited directly in the bones and
joints.
This is the cause of different kinds of rheumatism such as arthritis, gout, and
kidney and gall bladder stones. This re-crystallization is the body’s band-aid
solution for the cells and organs in order to protect the body from irreparable
damage of irresponsible food intake. But in the long run, it poisons the system
because those substances cannot be disposed of.
The elements in rock salt are not integrated into the salt’s crystal grid, but
cling to the outside surface and crevices of the crystalline structure. This is
the fundamental difference between rock salt and crystal salt. A salt crystal
manifests a superior structure. Due to this sublime form, the elements are
biochemically available for our cells as are the individual frequencies or
vibration patterns. Rock salt is a cheap alternative to table salt, and is at
least a natural and wholesome product. Biochemically and biophysically however,
it is of little importance to our organism.
We can only receive the resonant effects of the geometrical structure through
the superior order or structure of a crystal and our cells can only absorb those
elements that occur in an ional form. Only under considerable pressure can the
elements be transformed into a specific size, making them ional, which enables
them to pass through our cell wall. This is important because our cells can only
absorb what is available organically or ionally.
Therefore, we cannot absorb the minerals from mineral water as they’re not
refined enough to penetrate our cell walls. And what doesn’t get into our
cells cannot be metabolized. Therefore, the best calcium is useless if it cannot
be available to the body’s cells. What we need is the organic, or ional state
of an element, in perfect natural symbiosis with all its associated elements, in
order for our organism to make any use of it.
Pure, natural crystal salt has been subjected to enormous pressure over millions
of years. The pressure is responsible for creating the salt crystals. The higher
the amount of pressure the more superior or excellent the state of order within
the crystalline structure. Salt, for us, is foremost an information carrier and
not a spice. For information to be absorbed into our cells, a crystalline
structure is necessary. Chemically, a stone and a quartz crystal are both
silicates.
However, the vast difference in the amounts of pressure they were subjected to,
distinguishes them. The quartz crystal embodies a perfect geometric form, a
perfect state of order within its structure. The stone does not. Its elements
are coarse, because it was not subjected to enough pressure to create a
crystalline structure.
Crystal
salt layers wind through the mountain of salt, shimmering in transparent white,
pinkish or reddish veins. Only with sufficient pressure was the salt of the salt
mountain transformed into crystal salt.
The elements trapped within the crystal salt are in
particles small enough to be able to penetrate the human cells and be
metabolized.
For thousands of years salt has been known as a panacea. Alchemists called it
"the fifth element"—besides water, earth, air and fire—because its
qualities were comparable only to ether, the actual fifth element. Why are we so
drawn to the ocean? Because our subconscious mind instinctively wants to return
to the specific vibrational state of the ocean from which we once emerged. This
is where we can return to recharge our batteries and regenerate.
It was only two hundred and fifty years ago, with the advent of
industrialization, that we initiated our disconnection from nature and her ways.
Fortunately, we are witnessing a trend to return back to natural, holistic
methods for living and caring for our body, including a shift back to utilizing
natural salts in this process. People everywhere are reconsidering the healing
effects of natural crystal salt. We can find it in skin care lotions and for use
as bath salts, and it is even used in inhalation or cleansing treatments for
illnesses of the respiratory system and for a variety of other indications.
The healing properties of salt are also known in allopathic medicine. The
largest and oldest salt works in Europe occupies the royal salt mine of
Wieliczka
,
Poland
, just 7.5 miles outside of
Krakow
. Here, a hospital was carved out of the expansive salt mountain, seven hundred
forty feet below the surface, specifically for asthmatics and patients with lung
disease and allergies. Several thousand patients have been successfully treated
in this hospital. The healing rate is astonishingly over 90%. Recognition of the
healing effects of salt chambers has influenced the construction of a similar
underground spa located in the salt mine of
Berchtesgaden
in
Germany
.
The therapeutic benefits of long-term residency inside the healing salt chambers
are allopathically acknowledged. The healing effects were originally thought to
be related to the purity of the air within the mine’s chambers. But if it was
only a question of the purity of the air, why was the air in the cave so
healthy, and the air above-surface so unhealthy? One cause has been determined.
Our houses are charged with electromagnetic devices, such as TVs, stereos,
computers, microwave ovens and the basic electric currents running through our
walls. And, when not at home, we hold cell phones to our ears while driving in
our cars and walking through our daily lives.
This electro-smog causes an excess of positively charged ions that disturb the
balance between the positively and negatively charged particles. Further, it
creates an excess of positively charged, chemically unbound particles in the
air. Only thirty seconds on a cell phone are enough to open up our
blood-brain-barrier, a natural barrier that protects our brain from toxins, for
eight hours. A Swedish study showed that ninety percent of the women who used a
copper-T I.U.D. as their birth control method, while simultaneously using cell
phones, developed uterine cancer; the cause being that the I.U.D. functioned as
a transmitter and receiver of unnatural, dissonant vibrations.
A further study showed some interesting allopathic results. All subjects in this
study drank one-teaspoon of sole daily. After four weeks, the protein emission
in the urine significantly increased for eighty percent of the
one-hundred-twenty-three subjects. This shows that the energy pattern of the
sole with its innate, natural antagonism towards the proteins, helps and
supports the excretion of animal proteins that are difficult to break down. (This
examination was done by Dr. med. Elisabeth Scherwitz-Josenhans.)
Even the simplest processes in our body need salt or its inherent elements in
ionized form. For example, it is the task of our nervous system to transmit the
stimulation that has been recorded via sensory input to our brain, which in
return passes this information back to our muscles in order for us to react to
the respective stimuli.
An electric potential occurs on the membrane wall of the cells when the
positively charged potassium ions leave the cells and the positively charged
sodium ions cannot enter due to their size. The outside becomes positively
charged and the inside negatively charged. When a nerve cell is stimulated, its
membrane suddenly becomes polar opposite and consequently is permeable for the
sodium ions. In one-thousandth of a second (1/1000th), the electrical potential
is transformed and releases, with every nerve impulse, 90 mill volts of energy.
The received stimuli are now being converted into thoughts and actions. Without
the elements potassium and sodium in the salt, this process is not possible.
Not even a single thought is possible, let alone an action, without their
presence. Just the simple act of drinking a glass of water requires millions of
instructions that come as impulses. In the beginning there is the thought. This
thought is nothing but an electromagnetic frequency. The salt is responsible for
enabling this frequency to transmit commands to the muscles and organs.
Most of us are familiar with experimenting with the conductivity of salt from
science class. We attach two ends of an electric current to a light bulb and
submerge it into a glass with distilled water. Because this water is not
conductive, the bulb does not light up. But when we add a little bit of salt
into the water, the bulb slowly starts to glow. It is the same with our body.
When we lack the natural elements of the salt, we are suffering from a chronic
loss, a chronic energy deficit, or deficit of information. Salt cannot be
labeled as a medication, because that would imply that apples too were a
medication. Salt is a core essential nutrient with exceptional abilities and
qualities fundamental for keeping us alive. And we can find that which we are
lacking, the respective frequency pattern, as well as the necessary
bio-chemicals, in natural crystal salt.
