Salt has many functions - other than just regulating the water content in the body -
according to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D.:

“Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. It can be used to relieve asthma by putting it on the tongue
after drinking a glass or two of water.”

“Salt is vital for extracting excess acidity from inside the cells, particularly the brain cells. If you don’t
want Alzheimer’s disease, don’t go salt-free…”

“Salt is the best diuretic that exists.”

“Salt is vital for the kidneys to clear excess acidity and pass the acidity into the urine. Without
sufficient salt in the body, the body will become more and more acidic.”

“Salt is essential in the treatment of emotional and affective disorders.”

“Salt is essential for preserving the seratonin and melatonin levels in the brain. When water and salt
perform their natural antioxidant duties and clear the toxic waste from the body, essential amino
acids will not be sacrificed as chemical antioxidants.”

“Salt, in my opinion, is vital for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer cells are killed by
oxygen; they are anaerobic ‘organisms’… dehydration - shortage of water and salt - suppresses the
immune system and its disease-fighting cells’ activity…”

“Salt is vital for maintaining muscle tone and strength. Lack of bladder control in those who suffer
from involuntary leakage of urine could be a consequence of low salt intake.”

“Salt is effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, contrary to the misconception that it causes
high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with
water.”

“Salt is vital for sleep regulation.”

“Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. It helps balance the sugar levels in the
blood and reduces the need for (injected) insulin.”

“Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in all of the cells of the body.”

“Salt is vital to the communication and information processing of nerve cells the entire time that the
brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.”

“Salt is essential for the absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.”

“Salt is vital for clearing the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma,
emphysema and cystic fibrosis sufferers.”

“Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.”

“Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and sinus congestion.”

“Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.”

“Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.”

“Osteoporosis, in a major way, is the result of salt and water shortage in the body.”

“Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm.”

“Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido.”

“Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.”
According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D., “As a rule of thumb, you need about 3 grams of salt - a half
teaspoon - for every 10 glasses of water, or a quarter teaspoon per quart of water.” (Place a few
grains on your tongue after each glass of water.)

Those in heart failure - or kidney failure needing dialysis - MUST consult their doctors before
increasing their salt intake. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some
of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than
other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt… has been stripped of its companion elements
and contains addictive elements such as aluminum cilicate to keep it powdery and porous.
Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes
of Alzheimer’s disease.

The Healing Effects of Salt
For thousands of years natural salt has been known as a panacea. Alchemists called it "the fifth
element" - besides water, earth, air, and fire - because it's qualities were comparable only to ether,
the actual fifth element. Why are we so drawn to the ocean? Because our subconscious mind
instinctively wants to return to the specific vibrational state of the ocean from which we once
emerged. This is where we can return to "recharge our batteries" and regenerate.

We are witnessing a spiritual evolution and are part of a shift in awareness which involves the
return back to natural, holistic methods for living and caring for our bodies. Within this shift, people
everywhere are reconsidering the healing effects of natural crystal salt.
