You might have been told lies and given wrong information about salt.
First, let’s see how our body works.
Science often compares the human body to a thermal engine. This engine needs information and direction in order to function properly, at the correct time for the correct purpose. The information comes from the central nervous system.
With our highly sophisticated and powerful central nervous system sending information at such a high speed that we cannot easily and accurately measure it. We can compare our body to an electric super power plant, with limitless energy and information provided instantly to every part of our body.
Each part of the body performs at the right time, like a symphony orchestra, under the command of the conductor.
But the analogy isn’t complete. Our body is composed of 70 to 95 percent of water. In fact, it is a living aquarium, according to Dr Julien Jaricot, who spent his career investigating the discoveries of Dr Rene Quinton about the evolution of life from seawater.
In this aquarium our cells are constantly bathed in a nourishing liquid in which all nutrients are transported from one point to another almost instantly.
Electricity does NOT travel in a mineral and salt free liquid.
It is THE minerals and salts that carry the electrical waves. Without salt, there would be no communication and no transmission of information.
Therefore, salts are essential to the function of the central nervous system.
No salt equals no energy equals no information transmitted equals no action. Without salts the whole system is non responsive and is dead.
If we add a little pinch of salt, the whole system starts working again. How does a doctor treat someone who has fainted? He will instantly put him or her on a saline solution to get all the connections working again.
We desperately need salt for the optimal functioning of the nervous system.
Once communications are provided to every part, the thermal engine will work harmoniously. This engine produces heat AND acidity.
The more we move, the more we generate heat AND acidity.
When we breathe or move, we create acids.This acidity can be very harmful to our fragile cells. If we get acid on our skin, we need to wash it off so as to avoid being burnt, and if it gets in the eye, it’s even worse. You can imagine what acid will do our fragile organs. Don’t even think of putting some in your mouth.
Therefore, these acids need to be neutralized and expelled from our body.
The best way to neutralize an acid is to use a lot of water or to use minerals.
Inside the body, the cells use minerals to neutralize acidity.
When a mineral is used to neutralize an acid the result is a salt.
Because our body uses minerals to neutralize acidity, they are ESSENTIAL to our survival and the optimal functioning of our body.
Of course, we can’t just store these neutralized acids in the form of salt, we need to get rid of these.
We expel around 20 mg of salt every day through our pores.
On one hand we need salt for the central nervous system to be able to work and on the other hand we need to get rid of the salt used to neutralize acidity in our body.
This could seem illogical. Nothing is further from the truth.
The answer is: there is not ONLY one salt, but THOUSAND of salts.
We have seen that salt is the result of an acid combined with a mineral.
The name a few:
Sodium (mineral) +chloride (hydrochloric acid). In this example the sodium neutralizes chloride.
Potassium Fluoride is Potassium neutralizing hydrofluoric acid.
Calcium chloride is calcium neutralizing hydrochloric acid.
Calcium citric and on and on and on.
Thousands of salts.
There are more than 6000 minerals and God knows how many acids are available on this planet. Theoretically you can create as many salts as you want.
You combine a mineral with an acid and the result is a salt.
A lot of salt is used in modern medicine.
But some combinations can be dangerous or even poisonous.Some salts are used for one purpose and some for another. Each salt has its own use.
The quality of salt will have a direct effect on the result.
Good quality salt equates to a good result, poor quality to a poor result.
Sometimes you need not only one salt, but a combination of several salts and in appropriate proportions.
For example again: Calcium Gluconate and Magnesium Carbonate is one of the best to treat muscular cramps.
If you want to have a strong, efficient nervous central system in which the information is transmitted at high speed and the nerves connect instantly, we need a salt rich in minerals because the minerals are essentials to the electricity to travel.
Here again the proportion is key to the best result.
Celtic Sea Salt meets all the criteria. For decades, it has been recommended by so many scientists, nutritionists, naturopaths, chefs and doctors. Each one of these has their own reason, but they all agree on one fact: this salt is the best to use.
In the article next month, we will see the difference between a high quality mineral for the body and a poor one, and the difference between an organic mineral and a non-organic mineral.
