Table Salt Versus Crystal Salt

Since the advent of industrial development, natural mined table salt and approximately 89% of sea salt or salt evaporated from seawater, has been stripped of its inherent mineral content through a process that "chemically cleans" and reduces it to only sodium and chloride. Important minerals and trace elements are considered "impure" and removed. The remaining salt by itself however, is not a natural element and is poison to the body. Additionally, additives increase the salt’s aggressive profile. As common as iodized salt is to our tables so are the number of diseases attributed to its use.

The body recognizes this chemically cleaned and chemically enriched 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 almost every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process.

Therefore, by adding more salt to the already salted food, the body receives more salt than it can get rid of.

The body 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 extracted from our cells and the body has to sacrifice its most precious cell water in order to neutralize sodium chloride. In doing so, the dehydrated body cells die.

So Just What Is Salt?

Looking at common table salt under a microscope you can see that the unnatural crystals are totally isolated from each other and dead. In order for the body to try to metabolize these crystals, it must sacrifice tremendous amounts of energy with very little results, resulting in a damaging loss and zero gain. The salt deposits in our bodies look similar to this photo, isolated and dead. The regular table salt shows no vibrant crystalline structure but exclusively dead crystals. As a food, it's absolutely useless, if not a destructive poison. (This is why doctors tell us to use less salt in our diets).

Sea salt displays structure, however, the crystals are isolated and disconnected from their important, vital elements. Therefore, an ionized assimilation of the elements cannot be guaranteed. Because of this, the vital minerals, however many it may contain, cannot be absorbed by the body unless the body expends tremendous energy to vitalize them. The net gain is small with an even greater loss of energy.


The balanced crystalline structure of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt^® reveals fine branching, no shadows or rough edges. The crystal is not isolated from the inherent mineral elements (84), but is connected to them in a harmonious state. This tells us that the energy content, in the form of minerals, is balanced and can be easily metabolized by the body. This crystal salt is full of life. When taken as food, it will have a vital and positive energetic effect on the body. The result is only a net gain for the body with zero energy loss.
