The Importance of Salt

Low salt diets have been the latest craze as of late.  Many health officials are recommending a low salt diet to the masses.  Even those in the vegan and raw food community warn against too much salt.  Both claim that salt will raise blood pressure and potentially cause a heart attack or other health complication.  Now, if they are talking about table salt which is pure sodium chloride(NaCl), I do not disagree.  Table Salt has been stripped of all its vital minerals and has lost its natural balance.  Remember REAL salt ALWAYS comes bound to numerous trace minerals that help maintain balance in the body when consumed.

In Fact, there was a time when workers were once paid in salt rather than money.  The word “salary” actually stems from the “salt.”  Salt was highly prized hundreds of years ago and was not as readily available as we see today.  However, people hundreds of years ago knew the importance that salt had on the human body.  They discovered that salt kept them safe from disease and plague and was very health promoting.  It has been estimated that 20 grams of salt (4 tsp) was the average intake before the agricultural boom.  Salt was mandatory in order to preserve meat and to pickle vegetables for later use.  Unfortunately, modern technology such as the refrigerator has left us blinded to the importance of preservation of food.

Fueling Our Ocean Body

We are literally a walking ocean.  We have over 17 gallons of salt water solution contained in our body.  Salt is absolutely mandatory for human survival and for basic bodily functions.  Salt is what holds the entire human body together.  Without it, we would evaporate up into the heavens.  For example, blood (plasma), sweat, tears, veins, and arteries all contain salt.

We simply need salt!  I personally put REAL salt into my water everyday.  Not only is this helping maintain homeostasis within my body, but it’s also delivering me minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc.  Real Salt has many trace minerals that are deficient in today’s diet and can help combat mineral deficiency.

Disease And Lack Of Salt

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” – Jesus Christ

The body is an amazing machine that is capable of regenerating and restoring itself.  However, certain ‘materials’ need to be present in order for the body to do its job.  When the body falls out of homeostasis and looses its “saltiness,” we are then prone to disease.  In fact, many of these pathogens and parasites that enter into the body can not survive in the bodies ideal salt state.  When our salt level becomes too low in the body, likely hood of disease rises.

Below is the Sea Salt I use every day in my food and water:

Many animals require salt as well in order to maintain health.  Every milk farmer knows that “salt licks” are mandatory in order to keep the herd healthy.  Take these salt licks away and disease is almost inevitable.  In fact, perhaps there is correlation between the sudden disease(s) striking cattle and the man-made mineral blocks.  These man-made mineral blocks are extremely UN-natural and are fairly new in comparison to the real salt blocks used for centuries by milk farmers.  We ALWAYS encounter problems when man tries to alter gods already perfect work.

Cellular Hydration And Auto-Immune Disorders

I do not believe in auto-immune disorders. However,  I do believe in a cellular dehydrated body.  Without salt, our cells are unable to properly hydrate themselves.  Cells need salt and water in order to properly take in water and hydrate themselves.  This allows for detoxification of the body.  A low salt diet and over consumption of water is a recipe for disaster.  We need salt in conjunction with quality water in order to maintain the bodies preferred salt solution.

When cells become dehydrated, they do not function properly.  If cells do not function properly, we begin to see the rise of what doctors call “auto-immune disorder.”  It’s my theory, as well as many others, that these Dis-Orders are caused by cellular dehydration.  When the cells are properly hydrated, these disorders often times go away.  I personally consume all the salt I want (around 20 grams a day).  However, I make sure to hydrate with quality water as well.  I drink until my thirst is quenched and I drink if I’m thirsty. I don’t make it complicated, I just listen to my body.

Activating Full Electrical Potential

Your body is in fact an electric machine.  Everything growing in nature has plasma which is pure electricity.  The second we pick fruit from the vines and trees they begin to loose their plasma.  Almost all fruits and vegetables found in the grocery store lack plasma.  They have been picked weeks prior to arriving on the shelf.  Unfortunately, many have never picked a fruit right of the vine or tree and eaten.  This needs to change if we plan to activate are full electric potential.

Furthermore, plants obtain their energy from the Sun.  They then store this energy as plasma.  When we eat plants and fruits right from nature, we are consuming this stored plasma.  This plasma is pure life and I believe it’s one of the many factors at activating our bodies electric potential.  In fact, I believe everything we need to activate this electric potential is all around us.  The ocean, the earth, the plants, the fruits all contain this plasma which we turn into electric energy.  Consuming Real Salt is a great way to put your body back into an electric state.  However, if we coupled the Sea Salt with everything mentioned above, we would see an amazing shift in health.

Stem Cells And The Electric Body

Stem cells have been getting a lot of praise as of late.  Doctors are claiming that stem cell therapy is capable of regrowing limbs and organs.  The therapy however is not affordable to most and reserved for those in the higher class.  I personally think stem cell therapy is a waste of time.  Did you know that the rib is capable of regrowing if removed.  Perhaps this is why God took the rib of Adam to make Eve. Likewise, the liver is also able to regrow itself.

In fact, we have millions upon millions of stem cells in our body.  However, for whatever reason, these stem cells are laying dormant and not doing their job which is to regenerate and heal.  I personally believe this is because we lack electricity in our body.  I believe that when full electrical potential is achieved in the body, these stem cells will come out of their dormant stage and begin to regenerate like they were designed to do.

Many animals have the ability to regenerate organs and limbs.  The two differences between humans and animals are animals live off the land and consume all their food RAW.  Animals also go long periods of time without consuming food.  This is called “fasting.”  Fasting induces macrophage which triggers the regenerative process.  Simply put, when we fast we regenerate.  Check out my post: Intermittent Fasting: Why Skipping Meals Is Good For You!
