Yes, I was confused by this discussion because I had remembered it was the

sodium that binds to bromide.

I'm curious as to why normal salt use won't continue tohelp you push bromide

out? Or is it just minimally effective?

"Normal" or refined salt is devoid of nutrients. Unrefined has over 80 trace elements (at least Celtic does) and that helps to balance your system. Refined salt is cleaned with a toxic chloride brine that is very bad for you.

This is from an interview Dr. Brownstein.

What is the difference between refined and unrefined salt?

Greg, nobody makes a distinction between unrefined and refined salt. They ‘lump’ all salt together as a bad substance. This is a terrible mistake. There is too much misinformation about salt in the media, so let me set the record straight. It is difficult for the consumer to choose the right form of salt. I will try and make it easy. There are two forms of salt available in the market place; refined and unrefined salt.

Refined salt has had its minerals removed and has been bleached to give it the white appearance that we are accustomed to seeing with salt. It is the fine, white salt that is available at almost any restaurant or grocery store. Refined salt has been bleached and exposed to many toxic chemicals in order to get it to its final product. It has aluminum, ferrocyanide and bleach in it. I believe this refining process has made it a toxic, devitalized substance that needs to be avoided.

Unrefined salt, on the other hand has not been put through a harsh chemical process. It contains the natural minerals that was originally part of the product. The mineral content of it gives it a distinct color. The colors of unrefined salt can vary depending on where it is taken from. This is due to the changing mineral content of the various brands of salt. It is the minerals in unrefined salt that provides all the benefits of this product. The minerals supply the body with over 80 trace elements needed to maintain and sustain health. Furthermore, the minerals elevate the pH (correct acidity) and lower blood pressure. Our maker gave us salt to use in our diet—unrefined salt—with its’ full complement of minerals. It should be the salt of choice. It is a vital ingredient that needs to be part of everyone’s diet. My experience has clearly shown that a diet devoid of unrefined salt will make it nearly impossible to achieve your optimal health.

-- You should not be using any refined salt, for your health. The use

of unrefined salt in the iodine protocol is as much for building health as

it is washing out the bromide-- even if you weren't taking iodine it's

still important to use unrefined salt everyday. Did you read that link I

posted about unrefined salt? No one who values their health should

willingly eat white refined salt. That is indeed the stuff that throws off

the body's mineral balance and does cause heart disease and other problems.

Unrefined salt, on the other hand, is as necessary to human life as water

or air. Seriously. That's part of why there is all this chronic disease

in Western societies, is the use of refined salt. Many of these diseases

are mineral-imbalance issues.

Here's the link again. This information is trustworthy and has been

validated by many other sources. This is just an easy way to get a lot of

info, and they aren't selling any products.

Why don't I see " un-refined " salt on shevles, is it the asme as " sea salt? "

They don't use that word where I've shopped to describe salt, is this going to

be something else I have to buy online if I want?

Sea salt is typically unrefined. there are many types/brands of sea

salt and it can come from many geographic locations -- France, USA,

Himalayan moutains. You can get Celtic (France), Himalayan, RealSalt

(Utah), Hawaiian... They are each unique with varying mineral

content. You can probably get it at your local health food store or

whole foods type market. Or - online...

There is a ton of info. comming across ont his site. I have looked at some. I'm

looking up salt purification processes and it sounds so harmless,I can see

minerals are removed but nowhere is the site I see saying they add bleach or

anything exactly to it.

I may switch to sea salt if it's not that expensive in comparison.

You do need to read the label and make sure it says " whole salt " or

" unrefined " . The label of " sea salt " doesn't always mean unrefined, so you

do need to read the label. if it doesn't say either " whole " or " unrefined "

or " contains all the original minerals " , then it shouldn't be trusted as

unrefined salt.

A couple of names for unrefined salt are Celtic Sea Salt and Redmond's Real

Salt.

The reason the term " sea salt " doesn't always mean unrefined, is because

for a long time the term " sea salt " only meant that it didn't have

additives like dextrose or iodine. It was still bleached and often heat

treated. Until about 20 years ago, they had made it illegal for unrefined

salt to be sold for human consumption in the United States, until some

people worked to get the rules changed. The reason those laws went into

place was because when salt first started being refined, it was a

" value-added " product, which meant it required processing and they could

charge more, so the manufacturers got laws passed so that everyone was

forced to buy their products. These are the historical facts. Now, of

course, to get unrefined salt costs more than refined, the situation has

reversed itself. I'm just glad it's legal to have healthy salt again.

Unrefined salt is more expensive than cheap white salt. The brand called

Real Salt is the least expensive, it is mined from an ancient seabed in

Utah. It is an excellent nutritional investment, but a person doesn't use

that much so it's not like it's brutally expensive to use it.

You said, " sounds so harmless " ... White refined salt is bleached, it is

also heat-treated to make it bright and sparkly-- that heat treatment makes

the salt even more unhealthy-- it changes the chemical structure. The

bleaching removes the mineral profile from the crystals, so then it is

mostly sodium, which is not the correct mineral balance for the body, which

is why refined salt causes illness. It might seem like a small thing to

have such huge ramifications for health, but them's the facts. Minerals

are more important to the body than vitamins, because without the proper

mineral balance a person cannot utilize vitamins.

This information is certainly common knowledge in health circles. I

believe I mentioned the other day that 's Soup Company is now using

unrefined salt, because they realized it's better for people. A 's

rep was on one of the morning news shows discussing it, and I've looked at

their labels and it's true.

It's your choice, but this list and the iodine protocol require it, so we

give the correct information here on unrefined salt.
