 The mining of salt is a global tradition. Those who have had access to salt in ancient times also had access to power. However, in the past 150 years, salt has lost its importance. Modern methods of mining and chemical treatments have turned the 'white gold' into an almost useless substance. Only in recent years have biophysicists started once again conducting scientific research on natural, crystal salt. They discovered something astonishing: natural crystal salt consists of exactly the same 84 elements as found in the human body.

From White Gold to White Poison

Without salt, life on Earth is not possible. But, strange enough, consumption of salt is killing us. Why is that? As common as the saltshaker is to our daily life, so too are the diseases associated with its use. The reason for this is because our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt. Salt nowadays is mainly sodium chloride and not true salt. Natural crystal salt consists not only of two, but also of all natural elements. These elements are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been made and originally found existing in the "primal ocean" from where all life originated. Interestingly, our blood contains the same salty solution or brine as that of the primal sea; that is, a fluid consisting of water and salt. It also has the same concentration as existed in those days when life left the primal sea. This brine water flows through more than 56,000 miles of waterways and blood vessels throughout our body with the forces of gravity and levity and regulates and balances the bodily functions.

Say Good by to Water Retention, Kidney and Bladder Stones, Arthritis and Cellulite

With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt was "chemically cleaned" and reduced only to sodium and chloride. Important minerals and trace elements were considered "impure" and removed. Sodium chloride by itself however, is not a naturally existing element and has nothing to do with natural crystal salt. In fact, the body recognizes sodium chloride as an aggressive poison and wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible. This causes a constant overburden on our excretive organs. In just about every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process. Therefore, by adding more salt to the already salted food, the body is subjected to more salt than it can dispose of. It now tries to isolate the over dose of salt. In this process, water molecules surround the sodium chloride in order to ionize it into sodium and chloride to neutralize it. For this process, the water is taken from our cells and the body has to sacrifice its highest quality cell water in order to neutralize sodium chloride. In doing so, the dehydrated body cells die. As a consequence, the formation of excess fluid in the body tissue or edema occurs. This is the primary cause of cellulite. For every gram of sodium chloride that the body cannot get rid of, the body uses twenty-three times the amount of cell water to neutralize the salt. If the sodium chloride is still too high, the body re-crystallizes the table salt by using available animal proteins, which also cannot be broken down and eliminated. The body uses these proteins to produce uric acid in order to get rid of the excess salt. As the body cannot dispose of uric acid, it binds itself with the sodium chloride to form new crystals that are deposited directly in the bones and joints. This is the cause of different kinds of rheumatisms such as arthritis, gout, and kidney and gall bladder stones. The re-crystallizing is the body's band-aid solution for the cells and organs in order to protect the body from irreparable damage of irresponsible food intake. But in the long run, it poisons the system because the body cannot dispose these substances.

The Salt in Our Kitchen

If one considers what we have discussed so far, then the question natural arises: Why do we continue using this chemically refined salt that actually poisons our body? The answer is very simple. Ninety-three percent (93%) of the world's salt is being used directly for industrial purposes. And for this, pure sodium chloride is necessary. In fact, sodium chloride is needed for every chemical process. The remaining, natural elements, are considered impurities and discarded as unwanted. An additional 6% is used for the food preserving processes. Only a very small part of the worldwide salt production finds its way into our kitchens as table salt. Through intensive advertising campaigns, the industry tries to convince the consumer of the health advantage of adding halogens, like highly toxic iodine (in the form of iodide) to the salt. Fluoride is another substance added to salt. But fluoride is the most reactive element. Fluoride is a greenish/­yellowish, piercingly sharp gas and also belongs to the halogen group. Iodine is artificially added in order to help the thyroid gland and fluoride is added because it is good for teeth. But both elements actually make the sodium chloride even more toxic. And further, table salt very often contains preservatives that don't have to be listed on the container, like calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, as well as aluminum hydroxide, which improved pour ability of the salt. However aluminum is a light alloy that can be deposited in the brain and is known to be one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. One of the suspected reasons for the high incidents of Alzheimer in the U.S. is the high consumption of products and drinks packaged in aluminum cans. Salts consisting of all the natural elements are considered in error, by the biochemical industry, to be contaminated. In reality, only the naturally occurring aluminum, calcium, gallium and magnesium found in crystal salt can be absorbed and used by the body. We need salt in its holistic form, with all the natural elements, in order for our bodies to function perfectly. After all, it's the natural salt in our bodies that allows our brain processes to even function

Natural Salt Mines

One might think that salt is plentiful on the earth, especially in the oceans, which cover approximately seventy percent of the surface. However, the oceans are being degraded to waste disposal-dumping facilities and are being polluted with heavy metals like, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and more. Not a year can pass by without major news of at least one fractured oil tanker causing a catastrophe. Of course, the poison elements also have their own vibration patterns which are dissonant and therefore, harmful to our bodies. So, today, sea salt doesn't have the same positive impact on our health as it used to. In addition, 89% of all the sea salt producers are refining their salt.

What about mined salt? All mined salt today is 95% rock salt. But even this natural rock salt is closer to being holistically intact and more valuable than common, industrial table salt because, from a bio-chemical standpoint, it is not aggressive. However, the elements contained in rock salt haven't been subjected to sufficient compression to be incorporated into the crystal lattice, but are only attached to the surface and in the gaps of the crystalline structure. Natural rock salt is basically being used for feeding to animals. From a biophysical as well as bio-chemical perspective, it has little value for humans. It's important to understand that only when salt comes under considerable pressure are the elements brought into specific particle size, so as to transcend to an ional or colloidal state, suspended within the crystal itself. This is important because our cells can only absorb and utilize what is available organically or in a colloidal state. Because of this fact, we cannot absorb minerals from mineral water because they're not refined enough to penetrate our cell walls. And what doesn't get into our cells cannot be metabolized. So, the best calcium is useless if it not able to be exploited by the body's cells.

Himalayan Crystal Salt

However, there is still plenty of good, clean salt available on this planet, especially where the energy of the sun has dried up the original, primal sea, millions of years ago. This crystal salt, still found in certain salt mines today, is absolutely clean and natural, identical to the ancient primal ocean. It contains all the elements found in our bodies. This special salt is only waiting for the moment to have its inherent, stored energy, its bio-photon content, set free, by adding water to it. Such crystalline brine is a pure ocean of energy. This natural crystal salt, as found in a specific location in the HimalayanMountains, has been exposed for millions of years to enormous pressure. This pressure was essential for the formation of crystal salt; and, the higher the compression, the more perfect the crystalline structure. The crystal salt found in the Himalayans has a perfect geometric structure where as normal rock salt does not, the elements being too course due to insufficient pressure for forming a crystal phase. Crystal salt is found in mines floating in transparent, whitish, pinkish or reddish shiny veins in the salt mountain. It crystallizes in areas where sufficient pressure was available to form the crystalline structure. In this crystal salt, the elements are available in such tiny particles that they can be easily absorbed by the human cells and metabolized. Crystal salt, in its perfect form, from a geological viewpoint, is also called halite. In former days, crystal salt was also called "king salt" because it was reserved for royalty. The common citizen only got rock salt. However, the mining of crystal salt nowadays is not profitable, because pure, natural crystal salt is only sporadically available in veins running through the salt mountain. Therefore, it cannot be mined or processed using machines. In order to reclaim the highly valuable crystal salt, one hundred times the amount of rock salt must be mined.

Original Himalayan crystal salt, currently being sold throughout Europe and recently available in the United States, is being used for medicinal studies and fulfills all the necessary demands as a natural therapeutic salt. Hundred of doctors and therapists in Europe are working successfully with the ancient knowledge of this salt, which for thousands of years, have been applied by doctors from various cultures. A variety of therapeutic applications have been successful in curing bodily ailments with nothing but water and this salt.

 Sole (so-lay) - Its Healing Effect

All life began in the sea. The original, primordial ocean, from which all life originated, is called "sole". Sole water is the most flexible physical representation of pure solar and light energy. In German, brine water is called "sole" (pronounced so-lay), which is derived from the Latin word "sol", which means sun. Sole is actually the liquid materialization of sunlight. Sole means fluid sunlight or fluid light energy. When water combines with crystal salt the positive ions of the salt surround the negative ions of the water molecules and the negative ions of the salt surround the positive ions of the water molecules. The ions become hydrolyzed or dissolved. In this process the geometrical structure of the salt and the water is changed and a totally new structure is formed, a third dimension. Water is no longer water and salt is no longer salt, each is transformed. The crystalline structure of the sole is so profound that its vibration pattern lasts over 24 hours in our bodies. With sole water, you introduce exactly that vibration pattern that the body is lacking when it is sick. The overall availability of electrolytes is built up and thus the conductivity in the body is increased, which in turn affects the circulation. The salt allows the current to flow once again. But again, the quality of the salt is paramount for quality sole.

Balancing the Body's pH Factor

The sole is an excellent product for balancing the pH factor of your body. With sole water one can also get rid of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, amalgam and calcium because the crystal salt is able to break up their molecular structures. A simple example can help you to understand this concept. Put some twenty-six percent (26%) sole solution in your teapot that has hard water or calcium build up. Heat it briefly and you can watch how the calcium dissolves in the sole. This process is a simple chemical reaction. You achieve the benefits of a similar therapy in order to get rid of the calcium build up and the heavy metal deposits in your body. To rid itself of these deposits the body first has to metabolize them. Even animal proteins, which are difficult to break down and eliminate, will be eliminated through the urine due to the strong structural formation of the crystal salt. When each morning we take a teaspoon of the sole together with a glass of natural spring water on an empty stomach, within minutes, the whole stomach and intestines are stimulated. And, this again stimulates the digestion and metabolism.
