The Great Salt Myth Busted !!!

As you begin to read this article you will be amazed at how threatening high blood pressure issues are and at the same time how simple the remedy is . . .
Cutting-edge research shows that for the vast majority of people, natural salt consumption does not raise blood pressure. The truth is avoiding salt is dangerous to your health and may even kill you.
One study in the journal of Human Hypertension (13:777-80, 1999) concluded that substituting table salt for potassium, magnesium, sodium salt . . . 9 out 0f 20 elderly hypertensive patients experienced an 11 point drop in their daytime systolic blood pressure. And it turns out that natural sea salt rich in natural potassium, magnesium and sodium helps to normalize healthy blood pressure levels.
Unless you're sodium-sensitive, chances are your high blood pressure stems from a lack of the correct ration of calcium, magnesium and potassium.
The cold truth is good salt has gotten a bum rap, like so many other natural remedies that have provided superior health benefits for ages. Do you recall the old TV commercials from the ‘70s that would say, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature,” in an attempt to convince you that margarine was better than butter? It seems mainstream media’s creedo is, “If you’re gonna lie, lie BIG!”
If we only knew then, what we know now!
Trans fats (hydrogenated oils A.K.A. margarine) virtually created myocardial arrests all on its own and destroyed millions of people’s lives and still is. All in the name of advertising, under the guise of another gimmick, another modern “man-made” wonder to cheat Mother Nature with.
Today we know trans-fats cause inflammation and contribute to high blood pressure, or perhaps you haven’t heard?
The same lie was sold to you against natural salt in an attempt to sell man-made table salt. It’s just not good to fool the Mother Nature period. FACT: your body needs sodium as an essential nutrient. Your body cannot produce its own sodium, and without it you will surely die.
Salt is basically sodium chloride and sodium ions, the two major components of salt, are necessary for the survival of all known living creatures, including humans
Natural chloride increases your body’s ability to absorb heart healthy potassium. Chloride is the key to balanced stomach acidity, helps sustain healthy pH for the whole body and increases the elimination of CO2 from your blood . . . preventing acidosis.
On the other hand unnatural, isolated, synthetic sodium chloride (a.k.a. table salt) is a different story.
Table salt has ZERO trace elements and because your body cannot use it, the synthetic salt becomes a biological poison.
It was once said by a wise man, “You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savor, where can it be salted? It is therefore good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”
In other words if the salt has lost its essential qualities, it is useless like the dust under our sandals. It is the “savor” of the salt that makes it precious and useful. “Table salt” is an isolated man-made chemical that has no “life force” and has lost all of its essential qualities.
Now back to nature . . . sea salt has been treasured throughout history and in India is still used as money. Sea salt has a perfect balance of trace minerals like potassium and magnesium and other key nutrients you require for optimal health.
If sea salt were bad for you Mahatma Gandhi would have died from high blood pressure, along with billions of other Indian peoples.
The beautiful thing is your body somehow recognizes this perfect balance and readily absorbs all these essential nutrients quickly.
The new science of health, called epigenetics emphasizes your body’s connection to your environment. The latest breakthrough discovery indicates that cell membrane health can be nurtured which ultimately even controls your master gene switchboard.
Today epigenetic scientists have revealed the once hidden connection between your genes and your environment . . . but it all depends on your cell membrane health which depends on sea salt.
Every cell in your body is bathed in a sea of clear, life nurturing fluid. Much like the amniotic fluid that nurtures a baby inside the mother’s womb. This salty sea like fluid is found in your blood, throughout your body and in your bones and like any living sea creature, should it be put immersed into synthetic salt they die, just as your cells die.
When you add pinch of genuine sea salt to a glass of water and drink it you are releasing and activating powerful ionically charged minerals and trace elements. Without these your body cannot produce electricity and slowly drowns in its own CO2 in a slow death caused by a severe pH imbalance called acidosis.
One of the first symptoms of acidosis, or severe acid pH, is high blood pressure. High blood pressure symptoms can also be triggered from dehydration, so it is crucial that you help balance healthy blood pressure levels with natural sea salt intake along with plenty of water . . . EVERY DAY!
One more note for today: Pharmaceutical drugs work one way or another in spite of their inherit and damaging side effects. But sea salt works “both” ways, helping to normalize healthy blood pressure levels. If your pressure tends to be low your body will utilize the trace elements to restore its natural balance automatically just as well as when it is high.
Remember high or low blood pressure fluctuations are not caused by a drug deficiency and drugs are NOT nutrients . . .
