OT water drinking / whole salt

The body must have plain water for proper hydration. Anything else you

drink, fruit juice, sodas, tea, coffee, whatever, in order for the body to

get at the water portion, the body has to do work to separate it. That

work requires energy, and that energy creates heat in the body, requiring

cooling. So, drinks that are not pure water do not replace water in the

body and may actually take water from the body to be metabolized, just as

food does.

So drinking lots of plain water is a necessity for good health. Something

I learned here that has helped a lot is to put a pinch of whole salt in

your water-- makes it taste good and helps retain the water. But it must

be WHOLE salt. Whole salt is not stripped of its trace minerals and will

be pink or grey in color-- Redmond Real Salt, Celtic sea salt, Himalayan

sea salt, etc. What is commonly called sea salt has been bleached and

stripped and is NOT whole, and definitely the stuff in the boxes at the

supermarket is not whole salt.

Stripped salt can cause mineral imbalances because it only has sodium

instead of the range of minerals the body needs, which is why people have

to watch their salt intake and why it causes problems. Whole salt's

mineral profile matches our blood's mineral profile, so it can be ingested

without imbalancing our minerals. Minerals are more important to health

than vitamins are. Without minerals, vitamins can't be utilized by the body.

Where do you get whole salt and how do you identify that it IS whole salt?

Are there brand names to look for?

There are some types. The most popular is Celtic Sea Salt. It is a light

gray salt and it is moist as it is harvested out of the sea. There is also

Himalayan Salt which is harvested from the Himalayan Mountains. There is

also a salt from Hawaii call Alaea Sea Salt and has some of clay from the

surrounding mountains in it. The most widely used is Celtic Sea Salt. I

use both Celtic and Himalayan and I have just ordered some Alaea salt.

Hope this helps.

Yes. In the U.S., the Redmond Real Salt is probably the least

expensive. I actually called the company, and they test their mines very

carefully for radiation, and there is none.

The way you know it is whole is one, it is usually grey or pink, not white,

although I have seen some that is close to white. But the main thing is,

it will be sold as whole salt, because it is more expensive so the fact

that it is whole salt is its selling point. Do not buy it unless you know

it is whole salt. " Sea salt " is a phrase that does NOT translate to

" whole " . Lima salt is another type of whole salt (not Lima Peru, but Lima

in Europe), but has become rare.

I feel that whole salt is a good investment because one doesn't use huge

amounts of it, yet the effects on the body are tremendous!

At you local health food store.

Google < Himalayan salt >

Use sparingly until your body is accustomed to it or you might get retracing

symptoms.

PS. I recommend a salt lamp.

hello,

Care to elaborate on what a salt lamp does for you?

I do have Himalayan salt. I can buy that locally, but not the lamp,

so probably do need to buy online.

It releases negative Ions [negative in this sense means good for you].

Funny you should mention them. I am an affiliate for them, link on my site

and all that. They also sell the salt but I had never thought of using it as

salt but more as a bath salt type of thing, but yes, there is no reason not

to. I'm going to go to my own site and get some!! I also have two of the

lamps that I've recently ordered, this is not my first, I love them! I'm

getting a matched pair to go on either side of the fireplace. Can't wait

till they get here!!

(If anyone is interested in the lamps or the salt or the other products,

email me privately and I'll send you the link ok? akiba@...)

Yes, I've seen a salt lamp in the magazines. I get sea salt from the

natural store, not sure that is what you mean though. Shucks and I was

just there looking at the salt, but was in a hurry.

I finaly found my magazine with the lamp site for you. alohabay.com has

them.

himalayan salt crystal lights. high in minerals and trace elements,

also sell a negative ion generator, emits negative ions, cleaning the

air by removing dust, pollen, dander, and cigarette smoke. Offset

radiation from computer moniteors, tv's ...

Oh, and here I thought I was at a good start and doing good buying sea

salt? Well that is the right kind for my neti treatment I believe. I

check the natural food store pre packed neti salts, so I would not be

buying premade from walgreens...

Why would you not just buy an Ion generator since it does the same

thing, but in more useful quantities? Of course not the one sold at

Sharper Image, but a real working one. You can get good ones on Ebay

for half the price, and ones that emulate thunderstorm ion activity.

Nothing against sharper image, the air doesn't actually circulate

through it, it has a positive grid below the negative grid on top.

Stuff NEAR the ion device sticks to the positive grid and gives the

appearance of circulating air, but nothing actually circulates. Stuff

FAR from the ion device fall to the ground just like any other ion

generator does (or thunderstorm).

Yes, the point of the 'lamp' is twofold. The heat releases the ions and the

convection of the air rising from the lamp helps circulate it.

But I agree a Techno generator can deliver more. My experience with the ionizers

[wipe down type but not the sharper image] is that the " dust " that is to be

'wiped off easily' is a sticky gluey film and requires more than a dusting to

clean.

And the lamp is a lot more aesthetic than a steel phallic symbol.

As I hoped, I did receive my two salt lamps yesterday. I placed them on

either side of my fireplace. On the floor directly above, is our bedroom. So

as a result my head is right above the lamps. I slept like a baby!!! Of late

every night I awake with what I call the " megrimms " , just basic worries

about life, family, money, you know the deal...not last night, I didn't wake

till morning and actually awoke refreshed!! Highly unusual, can't wait to

see what tonight brings (after LOST, of course!)

And the lamps, besides giving a beautiful, warm glow, make an awesome

night-light!
