Celtic Sea Salt® Brand

From our book Bypassing Bypass, published in 2002

When commercial, processed American food arrived in Africa, Dr Albert

Schweitzer, that famous humanitarian, noted soon afterwards that the

food had brought with it something new, something hardly seen before

in that land, something very devastating: Cancer.

At that time, pesticides were in use here in America, but hardly as

they are used today. The processing of foods was hardly as

destructive as it is today. The food additives weren't as prevalent

as they are today. Dr Schweitzer, in his journal, proclaimed one very

powerful cause. He wrote: " It's the salt. "

Salt is one thing we Americans like pure. It has to be pure white,

devoid of any moisture, and perfectly shaped. This is not natural.

Did you know that the salt companies actually don't make their

greatest profits selling salt? Most of the salt sold goes to chemical

laboratories and manufacturing companies. Selling salt is actually a

side line for salt companies; they make most of their profits pulling

out the minerals and selling them back to us through health food

stores and to companies like Kellogg's® that take a naturally healthy

food, process the proverbial pee out of it (till it's worthless) and

then add back some minerals and vitamins. The minerals come from the

salt companies. This is called " fortified " food.

In animal experiments, the test subjects were fed the same grains

they normally eat, however, they were processed and fortified. The

control subjects were fed the whole grains. To make the study even

more interesting, one group was starved. Now you might find this

cruel to starve an animal to death, but listen to this:

The starving animals outlived those fed fortified foods.

Naturally sun dried sea salt is charged with energy. It is

radioactive! Is this good? Certain radioactive particles are harmful.

However, these charged minerals are exactly what your body craves.

When charged calcium enters your body, scientists can trace where it

goes. And where does it go? Directly to a site where there is a break

or a fracture. Charged minerals go right to where they are needed.

Drying out salt reduces immediately the magnesium salts which are

needed to orchestrate all the most minute functions of the body:

building healthy bones, building healthy blood cells, etc.

You can now see that it's not just what's in processed salt

(chemicals from the processing) that would cause Dr Schweitzer to

conclude as he did, but it's what is missing from the salt as well.

What is in salt?

Celtic Sea Salt® Brand Macrobiotic Salt Refined/Processed Salt

84% Sodium Chloride 98% Sodium Chloride 97.5% Sodium Chloride

16% Charged Minerals 2% Minerals 2.5% chemicals from the processing

that prevent water absorption and some iodine.

Dr Langre, in his book Seasalt's Hidden Powers, makes the following

points:

Our bodies are like the ocean and at the level of our biochemical

function, we either get the nutrition we need to maintain this " ocean

atmosphere " or we suffer.

Violent prisoners given Celtic Sea Salt® Brand in their diets showed

improved behaviors within a few short weeks.

Salt is needed for digestion.

The sodium of Celtic Sea Salt® Brand acts differently in your body

than the sodium in refined salt.

People who dislike salt or have a phobia or intolerance to salt do

not realize that they are, in fact, ill.

Let's take a look at these one by one.

One: Maintaining an ocean atmosphere. It is hard to find someone who

has not tasted her/his own blood. We cut our finger and immediately

put it to our mouth. It's almost a knee jerk reaction. Our blood

tastes much like sea water. If you believe in evolution, then you

believe that life came from the sea. If you are a creationist, then

you marvel at how much like the ocean our creator made our fluids.

The most basic functions of our body, the most basic messages sent

either electrochemically or via our hormones rely on a medium that is

chemically balanced. Celtic Sea Salt® Brand puts our bodies back into

this balance.

Two: I recall from an advanced psychology lecture in college in which

the professor loudly stated: " The difference between a violent,

aberrant mental patient and you people sitting here is two cents

worth of lithium. " Bipolar patients are often prescribed lithium,

however, the side effects of this medication can be nasty. Celtic Sea

Salt® Brand contains natural lithium salts. Unlike supplementing with

medicinal lithium, the lithium in Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is absorbed

naturally, in quantities nature intended, and they are untreated,

unprocessed, and as natural as the earth itself.

Three: Meat eaters naturally get more salt than vegetarians. Meat

(blood) contains natural salts. Vegetables and fruits contain none. A

fruit dipped in salt will stimulate the flow of digestive juices. The

more natural the salt, the more minerals contained, the more natural

digestive juices are sparked. All digestion breaks food into basic

sugars, at least it should. If your food is improperly digested, the

sugars (the glyconutrients) are not manifested by your digestive

process and you develop sugar craving.

Four: Sodium is sodium, right? Not so fast here. If you pull Sodium

Chloride from any salt, whether sea salt or salt from the Dead Sea or

salt from Salt Lake City, you have simply Sodium Chloride and that is

just that: Sodium Chloride. So, if you buy sea salt that has been

processed, yes, you are getting plain old Sodium Chloride. However,

the Sodium Chloride in Celtic Sea Salt® Brand, besides being balanced

with Potassium, is in a highly charged state and like things in a

highly charged state, it is not static, will not store itself in your

organs or affect your kidneys, but pass on through you as natural

salts are meant to do.

Five: Years and years of processed salt intake results in kidney

damage and kidney stones, muscles and organs are brimming with sodium

chloride, bones are brittle (or brittler than they should be) and

many people just don't like salt. I often tell people about salt and

many times their first response is: " Oh, I don't use too much salt "

meaning, they don't use any salt. They don't like it, they blame the

cook for putting too much salt in this and that, and they certainly

don't buy most canned soups that are mainly salt. After reading Dr

Langre's book, I now know when I hear someone tell me that they don't

like salt--I know this person is sick. This person might now know

s/he is sick, but this person is sick. Every body needs salt. This

one has too much Sodium Chloride attached to organs and muscles and

tissues. Since I sit in chat rooms and listen, I hear a lot of people

say that they had perfect health right up till they were diagnosed

with cancer. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is impossible. In

Western Medicine disease begins with symptoms. The main symptom of

cancer is cancer. We have so many tests to give you to determine if

that lump there is cancer. In TCM, the physician tests for energy

imbalances; these energy imbalances occur many many steps before

visible or palpable symptoms appear, and one symptom of disease in

TCM is an aversion to salt. Think about it.

What is Celtic Sea Salt® Brand good for? Besides overall health, it

has been used traditionally to aid in healing burns, relieving mental

disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, aggressive behavior), and

even helping to reverse heart disease. Yes, amazing stuff, especially

when we are told to avoid salt when we have heart disease. Again,

years of processed salt builds up in organs (and in the heart) and

you're ripe for edema (the collection of fluids). The only person who

has to watch her/his salt intake is the person with a high degree of

renin in her/his blood stream. If you have hypertension, there is a

10% chance that it is caused by a high amount of renin in your blood.

Afro-Americans, for some reason, suffer from this more than any other

line of heritage.

Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is " guiltless salt. " Use it on everything. I

go pick tomatoes with a little bowl of ground Celtic Sea Salt® Brand

and most never make it back home. Get yourself a mortar and pestle

and order the coarse salt and grind it up. Yes, it contains moisture

and sticks together. Consider this a benefit, for it shows you that

it is charged with mineral salts, especially magnesium, which a

healthy body needs.

I order my salt from The Grain & Salt Society.

The bath salt is cheaper than the eating salt. But the bath salt IS

edible (it just has a few little feathers in it because it hasn't

been washed as thoroughly). I order it by the twenty pounds and give

it to friends. I have one neighbor who eats it right out of the bowl

because it's so tasty. So, go pour it on everything. You can order Dr

Langre's book (Seasalt's Hidden Power) from them too. Make sure that

if you don't order the book that they send you cooking instructions

with the salt as you don't want to over heat it and lose some of the

nutrients. I usually add it to dishes just as I'm turning down the

heat in preparation to serve.

One more thing: Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is perfect pickling salt.
