Salt: real vs refined Archives

More on salt. (Archive.)

Thanks, Evonne.

This is exactly the salt, and reasons for using it, that has prompted me to recommend it on my website askwaltstollmd.com

See the salt archives, on the 'site, for more supportive information.

I have used it exclusively for me and my family for at least 10 years.

> A friend sent me the following article concerning the use of the "Right
Kind of Salt". The article is very long, but it is really interesting!

> Dr. George Mitchell, (a clinical ecologist in Wash. DC. who not only saved
my life, but made it worth living again), has his Ph,D in nutrition and he
always told me never to use the table salt that's sold in the supermarkets
because it has been processed; causing it to lose most of its nutrients plus
they
> use bleaching agents. Supermarket table salt also contains sugar and
aluminum; and as many of you are aware aluminum has been associated with
Alzheimer's disease. I have always been of the belief that salt contains
essential elements necessary for our bodies survival and felt it was wrong
for people to be deprived of
> it ( same with eggs) ..something so perfect that nature provided could not
be harmful to us! And it's not, it is what we do with it that makes it
harmful: ie processing of the salt and the factory farming of the poor
chickens and the use of antibiotics in their feed.

> When I was reading of all the benefits gained from using the right kind of
salt not only to us, but our animals as well,it made me want to jump up, run
out and buy a salt lick for my two house bunnies. I wonder if the store
bought salt licks would be providing the "right kind of salt"? Anyway, the
article does give addresses where you can buy the "right kind of salt".

> I've always purchased "sea salt" from the Health Food stores, but the
article states that this too, although better than the supermarket table
salt, has its problems due to the processing procedures.

> After reading the article, I purchased one of the recommended bags of
"Real salt" and have been using it on my food for two weeks now. I had been
planning on writing to Misty and asking for advice with regard to leg and
toe cramps that I suffer from after aqua aerobics when I do the stretching
exercises. But I'm happy to say, this past week, after using 'real salt'
daily, I have not had the slightest inkling of a cramp!( Misty I think
you've been reprieved! LOL).

missing link for some of the health problems we and our bunnies and other
pets suffer from. Printed below is only a small portion of the article, just
