Regarding the "article" about the "dangers" of Himalayan Salt and it

containing fluoride and so on:

This article was posted 4 years ago. It has come up before on this

board

and I guess a special post about in the link section is warranted as

it can

come up again.

Here's the true data:

The article is incorrect and passes along patently false information.

The

fact that the fluoride information site passes it along is

unfortunate. It

seems to advocate for fluoride information, and information for

parents, so

appears to be sincere, however, given how false the info is regarding

Himalayan salt has cause us to have great suspicions. It smacks of

processed salt vested interests trying to discredit the rising use of

this

premier natural salt - in other words, a "planted authoritative"

article.

You notice it has not been taken up or forwarded by any serious health

media.

Just a few of the blatant errors:

An obvious attempt is made to discredit Ferreira, the

biophysicist,

when it is he along with medical doctor, Dr. Barbara Hendel, MD, who

wrote

the book on Himalayan salt, "Water & Salt". Not only do they not know

a

biophysicist, they do not know elementary biophysics itself. Not only

is

Himalayan salt subject to independent assay as to content, but

samples are

all over of it being compared under electron microscopes to processed

salt

and the inherent crystalline structure is strikingly different. As is

the

energy aspects of it.

And no, you're not going to get the distinctive rock "crystals" off

a "road"

in pakistan(!)

As regards the "fluoride" content, this is the most elementary and

gross

error, as the whole premise of the alarmist article, hangs its hat on

this.

The discrediting is lame and transparent periphery to this.

The fluoride in the natural salt is a wholly natural form of fluoride

that

is actually beneficial to the body. (Calcium Fluoride, not Sodium

Fluoride,

the toxic form)

Just as the other ionic minerals, including cadmium, aluminum, etc.

are.

Yes, these elemental traces minerals are actually needed by the body

as part

of the 84 essential minerals the body requires for optimum health.

These

are found in all natural salt, such as RealSalt, Sea Salt, Celtic

Saalt, and

so on, and even quality natural mineral supps (Concentrace, etc.) and

are

the forms actually found naturally in the human body.. Those who

assert

these are the same as altered industrial, toxic metals, do not have a

clue

as to what they are talking about.

Below is an excerpt from Ed Leach's newsletter which sums it up well.

Moreover, you will recall I've posted here previously about a formal

study

that was done in Austria, using internationally accepted controls,

comparing

Himalayan salt to processed salt. The results were significant in

terms of

improved health for those on the Himalayan versus those on regular

processed

salt. The fact there appears this singular, inaccurate dismissal of

Himalayan salt then should not be a surprise.

The Hunzas who are among the world's longest-lived and disease-free

people,

have traditionally used this salt daily. In fact, they traditionally

consume cups of tea during the day in which they put a chunk of the

salt, so

one can imagine how many grams per day of this premier salt they

consume.

When they began to use westernized processed salt, a decline in

health could

be seen.

Lastly, there is our own empirical evidence and experience. I used

Himalayan salt profusely throughout my own recovery and have seen

others now

do so. I used both the salt tabs and the natural salt, as indicted in

my

eBook, but became more a user of the Himalayan salt as time went on by

personal preference and continue to use regularly to this day with

great

benefit, as has others.

Onward & upward,

"First let's look at fluoride in regards to our drinking water. For

instance, some individuals mistakenly use the term "artificial

fluoridation"

to imply that the process of water fluoridation is unnatural and that

it

delivers a foreign substance into a water supply when, in fact, all

water

sources contain some fluoride. Natural fluoride, as such, is never

added to

the water, only silicofluorides (hazardous wastes containing many

toxic

pollutants) are used to artificially fluoridate water.

Silicofluorides never

occur naturally in nature, and they are 85 times more toxic than

natural

occurring calcium fluoride, found in most water sources. Therefore,

the

effect on the entire body will be different.

"Calcium is a well-known antidote for fluoride poisoning. When an

antidote

accompanies a poison, it makes the poison far less toxic to the

body. "The

claim that fluoridation is one of 'nature's experiments' is not valid

because the salts put into the water supply, sodium fluoride or

silicofluorides, are industrial by-products never found in natural

water or

in organisms. They are, furthermore, notoriously toxic, sufficiently

so to

be used as rat poison or insecticide. Calcium fluoride, on the other

hand,

which is the form commonly found naturally occuring in water, is not

toxic

enough for such uses." (Dr. C. G. Dobbs, (Ph.D., A.R.C.S.) Bangor,

Wales,

England).

"If we look at the "chemical" composition of The Original Himalayan

Crystal

Salt (HCS), we find naturally occurring fluoride in the amount of

less than

0.1 g/kg. Natural calcium is also present in the amount of 4.05 g/kg.

In

fact, chemical analysis (again, material analysis) will confirm the

presence

of each and every naturally occurring element in the OHCS, including

arsenic, uranium, plutonium, mercury, gold, and dozens most of us

have never

heard of, exactly as found in our human bloodstream.

"Recently, we were told by an independent researcher that our salt

contained

the element promethium, rarely found on Earth. Its presence in our

HCS was

an important discovery as promethium is only found in infants in the

first

three to four months after birth and is directly linked to the

development

of the body's immune system. Personally, I had never heard of

promethium but

I'm happy it's in the salt.

"Besides the hundreds, if not thousands of anecdotal stories told by

those

who have benefited greatly from its use, and continue to each day, we

can

also point to science for a perspective. In 2003, there was a

comprehensive

research study undertaken by the Inter-University of Graz, Austria, a

medical university. The study demonstrated the positive effects of

the HCS

on a myriad of body functions.. Patients saw significant changes in

respiratory, circulatory, organ, connective tissue and nervous system

functions. Patients also reported increases in the quality of sleep,

energy,

and concentration levels, brain activity, weight loss, enhanced

consciousness and noticeable hair and nail growth. Though not

quantifiable,

these claims are nonetheless intriguing."
