Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi everyone, I've recently come across this information about Himalaya Salt, which explains that Himalayan salt is not sea salt, and it can't be, and it is not from the Himalayans: http://www.poisonfluoride.com/pfpc/html/himalaya.html Here's most of the article: Over the last few years a new scam has emerged in Europe which is rapidly spreading across the world. It involves ordinary rock salt from the " salt range " in Pakistan being marketed as luxurious and healing " Himalaya Salt " . It is also sold as " Himalayan Crystal Salt " , " Hunza-Kristallsalz " or natural " Kristallsalz " , " VitaSal " , " AromaLife " , etc.. The scam is currently being introduced in India and the United States. It will result in very high overall fluoride intake in anyone who follows the various " therapy recommendations " . What happened? During the late 1990s recordings started to appear in Germany, featuring a monologue by a self-proclaimed " biophysicist " named Ferreira. The monologue centered around the " marvelous healing energies " of " Himalaya Salt " (Himalaya Salz) and " living waters " (Lebendiges Wasser) -> mineral or springwaters ( " Quellwasser " ). This special salt was allegedly coming from the high mountain regions of the Himalayas, " untouched by human contamination " , containing " 84 elements essential to human health " . The tape was copied and passed on by thousands. The salt was sold at a price much higher than ordinary salt, up to 200 times as much. It was common to see it being sold for 24 Euros per kilogram. Lectures were organized and a video called " Water & Salt " ( " Wasser & Salz " ) was shown to packed houses (Zeit & Geist, 2002). A book with the title " Water & Salt - Essence of Life " by Ferreira and Dr. med. Barbara Hendel became a runaway bestseller in 2002 - simply by word of mouth, even spawning a glossy magazine with the same title. [The book is currently being translated into English and slated for release in the US.] Within months " Himalaya Salt " became all the rage in Switzerland, Austria and Germany, quickly spreading to Denmark, Holland and other European countries. The European alternative health industry was quick to jump on the bandwagon and an article on " Himalaya Salt " praising its superior qualities to conventional salt became the most-read article on the German site of " Alternative Health " ( " Alternative Gesundheit). " Himalaya Salt " sales are consistently in the Top 10 of " alternative health products " . Originally marketed on the Internet, there are now countless varieties of products containing " Himalaya Salt " available, including herbal salts, bath salts, facial masks, cosmetic lines, as well as salt lamps and tealights. Many international websites can now be found praising and selling this " Elixir of Live " , " Fountain of Youth " , or " salt of life " . The salt comes as fine salt to be used for cooking, or as salt crystals or blocks of salt, to be used for daily " sole " drinks and baths, oral rinses, eye baths, and inhalation therapy. In addition, the salt is marketed extensively for other uses, and there are now tealights or " salt lamps " (used as natural " ionizers " ), a complete cosmetic line including soaps, facial sprays, body lotions, " peeling " lotions, hand creams, steam bath aids, sauna aids, bath salts with rose petals, and shower gels. Origin of " Himalaya Salt " It is claimed that the " magic salt " is coming from the Karakorum (Ferreira, 2002). However, as pointed out by the group TourismWatch (No.28 and No.30) there is no salt mine to be found anywhere in this Himalayan region. Most of the salt was coming from the second largest salt mine in the world, in Pakistan. After the boom began, it was found that even ordinary road salt was being sold as " Himalaya Salt " by ruthless opportunists. Therefore I will only be recommending Light Gray Celtic sea salt crystals or light gray sea salt crystals from the ocean near Brittany, France.+++++ You can buy Celtic light gray sea salt crystals through my website, at Selina Naturally (they also have a photo of the correct sea salt): http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/selina.php For people on my program, measure out 1.5 teaspoons every day and spread out taking it between 3 meals (added to foods or to water you drink during meals or in between) to make sure you are getting enough.
