Foreword
Our soil is depleted by pesticides, and as a result, mineral levels have plummeted over the past 50 years. Our water is also polluted. Where can we still get minerals? Through supplements and natural salt.
80% of the supplements there contain harmful additives and hormone disruptors, and the quality is simply poor. You can buy pure supplements from doctors and scientists through this link.
We can still get minerals from PURE natural salt.
What do conventional doctors say? Salt is bad for your health and causes heart and blood vessel problems. This makes many people afraid of salt. After reading this blog, you'll no longer be afraid of the propaganda that conventional doctors spread.
Conventional doctors recommend a salt-free diet. Or they recommend 2 grams of salt per day. While someone weighing 70 kg needs 12-14 grams of salt per day .
Recommending a salt-free diet is very harmful.
This is an original blog post by Dr. Robert Young (biologist/scientist) about salt. The blog has been translated into Dutch. Here you can read how much salt we need per day.
The Romans sold salt like gold. That's how important salt is to humans.
Roman legionaries guarding the Via Solaria, one of the most famous military roads in history, received part of their wages in salt, their "salarium." This is where the modern word "salary" comes from.
-Salt = Salt (ENG)
-Salt = Salato (Italian)
-Salt = Salsa (Latin)
See biologist Robert O. Young 's blog post discussing the history and importance of salt. The blog post has been translated into Dutch.

These 4 doctors who are now presenting will demonstrate how important salt and minerals are for our body.

1-Digestion of food
Salt plays a major role in helping the body digest food and turn it into living tissue, and also helps transmit nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract.
For the body's cells to function normally, a salt/water balance must be maintained.
Salt is also needed to make the sodium bicarbonate the body needs to alkalize the foods we eat to maintain the alkalinity of the blood and lymphatic fluids.
2-Salt (the minerals) keep us hydrated
Salt helps us stay hydrated. We need minerals to stay hydrated. If you drink water and don't have enough minerals in your body, you'll pee it all out. That's why many people are dehydrated.
They are actually alkaline minerals that help us stay hydrated, balance our sodium-potassium ratios, and fill the body with powerful electrolytes.
3) Craving sugar and/or feeling tired is actually a need for salt
When you're tired and/or fatigued and need energy, that's a salt craving. All sugar cravings are salt cravings.
See the blog post by biologist Robert Young. He shows in a video that salt provides energy, while sugar doesn't. Many people who are tired, lightheaded, or weak think they need sugar to regain their mental clarity. In reality, these people are deficient in salt.
4) Salt provides electricity to your organs. Salt gives life
In the ICU, the first thing they give you is salt. They hope to keep the patient alive. Salt is the ion of life, transporting all energy. Without salt, there is no life.
5) Salt is what keeps the spiritual body connected to the physical body and the mental body
If you were to eliminate salt from your diet, your soul would leave your body. Salt is the glue that holds the body and soul together. Salt keeps the spiritual body within the physical body. In Greek, "soul" means salt . The soul is a colloidal connection between what is light and what is physical.
SOUL = SALT
When you add salt to your diet, you begin to die. You can die slowly or suddenly. All minerals are salts. That's why they often say minerals are salts.
People who are deficient in salt often feel:
-drowsy
-weak
-headache
-nauseous
-fatigue
-concentration problems
-muscle cramps
-be absent
-confused
-even walking unsteadily
-Epileptic seizures (in case of severe deficiency)
-Unconsciousness (in case of severe deficiency )
-->With a lack of salt you cannot live consciously.
If you want to stay healthy and live a long life, you should avoid sugar and eat a little more salt. Salt keeps you healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Book: Water, the cheapest medicine. You're not sick, you're thirsty (Dutch)
In his book "Water, the Cheapest Medicine," he listed 27 hidden wonders of salt. I highly recommend his book. We're talking about pure, natural salt, not table salt.
He describes the importance of water, minerals and salt.
He describes many conditions due to a lack of water, salt, and minerals. He explains them further in the book. I'll keep it short.
Some hidden wonders of salt:
1-Emotional disorders
Salt is necessary in the treatment of emotional disorders.
2-Stress
Salt is a strong stress-reducing substance.
3- Generating energy in cells
Salt is essential for generating hydroelectric power in the cells. It is used to generate energy where needed.
4-Communicating nerve cells
Salt is essential for the communication and information processing of the nerve cells during the time that the brain cells are functioning (from conception of the child until death).
5- Muscle cramps
Salt is necessary to prevent muscle cramps.
6-Muscle tension - muscle strength - endurance
Salt is essential for maintaining muscle tone, strength, and endurance. Salt is necessary for optimal muscle function.
7-Libido
Salt can help maintain your libido.
8-Intestines
Salt is essential for the movement of nutrients through the intestines. Diseases begin in the intestines. Your intestines are your second brain.
9-Serotine and melatonin
Salt is necessary for maintaining serotonin and melatonin levels in the brain.
10-Self-confidence and positive self-image
Salt can help you develop self-confidence and a positive self-image. This personality is controlled by serotonin and melatonin.
11- Frequent urination and urine loss
Difficulty in holding urine and urine leakage can be a result of a lack of salt.
12-Deacidification of the urine
Salt is essential for the kidneys to remove excess acid and to prevent acid from entering the urine. Without salt, the body becomes increasingly acidic. An acidic body leads to disease.
13-Prevent Cancer
Salt is also necessary to prevent cancer. The minerals in salt detoxify your body. Cancer cells develop in an acidic body. In a more alkaline body, you have more oxygen, and where there's oxygen, there's life.
14-High blood pressure and irregular heartbeat
Salt can be very effective in stabilizing an irregular heartbeat. Conventional doctors consistently say that salt causes high blood pressure. We're talking about the toxic processed table salt that lacks nutrients and contains many toxins.
Natural salt is packed with nutrients that actually help balance your heart and blood vessels. Many people drink a lot of water without salt (without minerals), which means there won't be enough water in the bloodstream. In some, this causes fainting, while in others, it causes blood vessel constriction, even to the point of measurably high blood pressure.
A little salt will quickly relieve heart palpitations and lower high blood pressure. Drink one to two glasses a day with a small amount of natural salt. Or put a little salt on your tongue. Consult a naturopath for the correct ratio for your healthy eating plan.
15-Varicose veins and couperose
Salt can prevent varicose veins and couperose in the legs
16-Diabetes
Salt is essential for people with diabetes. It helps balance blood sugar levels and reduces insulin requirements. Water and salt can reduce the severity of associated damage to the eyes and blood vessels.
17-Sleep
Salt is essential for regulating sleep. It's a natural hypnotic agent. See page 225 of the book for proper use.
18-Cleansing of lungs
Salt is essential for clearing the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky mucus, especially in patients with asthma, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis. Salt is a potent antihistamine. It can be used to reduce asthma symptoms: place some salt on your tongue and drink two or three glasses of pure water. This is a healthier inhaler. Inhalers contain toxic substances that can cause allergic reactions.
19-Dry cough
Putting salt on your tongue can help reduce a persistent dry cough. Drink plenty of water.
20-Mucosal inflammation
Salt is essential for relieving mucosal inflammation and blocked sinuses.
21-Gout
Salt can help prevent gout.
22-Overproduction of saliva
Salt is essential for preventing overproduction of saliva, which is characterized by drooling during sleep. Constantly having to dab away excess saliva indicates a salt deficiency.
23-Bones and joints
Osteoporosis can be a result of a lack of water and salt in the body. Salt is also absolutely essential for strong bone structure.
24-Reduce double chin
Salt can help reduce a double chin. For a medical explanation, see page 226 of the book.
You'll find these 27 wonders of salt in the book "Water, the Cheapest Medicine" on page 222. See the photo below. In the book, he also discusses 47 reasons to drink enough water . He describes why your body needs sufficient water. A very informative book.


Source 3: Barbara O'Neill (Australia)

In this video, Barbara O'Neill discusses the importance of water and salt. She also discusses the dangers of processed table salt. She also discusses things most people don't know.
Some of the things she discusses in her video:
-4 Important Elements of Life
The 4 most important elements for life are:
1-oxygen, 2-water, 3-sodium, 4-potassium
-Soured food
Acidic foods make your body acidic. Acidic blood draws water from your cells.
-Seawater has the highest concentration of sodium
Sodium (sodium) is found in the highest concentration in seawater compared to all other salts. Seawater contains 92 minerals. About 30% of the minerals in seawater are sodium, and about 50% are chloride.
-Benefits of Celtic salt
She discusses the benefits of Celtic salt: Celtic Sea Salt is made from hand-harvested seawater that contains a blend of 82 minerals, including 3 types of magnesium, which can help water be absorbed into the cells.
-Imbalance between sodium and potassium
In the video, she discusses how an imbalance between sodium and potassium in the body can lead to high blood pressure, and she says that using Celtic salt can help maintain a healthy balance and lower blood pressure.
Potassium is the highest mineral concentration inside cells. Sodium is the highest concentration outside cells. Sodium and potassium pumps in cell membranes maintain the balance between the two. If you eat too much table salt and too few vegetables and fruits, you won't get enough potassium and minerals in your body, disrupting the potassium-sodium balance.
-She discusses the harm of table salt
Table salt is very harmful and causes cells to swell. It leads to high blood pressure. And it makes you lose your sense of taste.
-The importance of sodium
Sodium is needed to get glucose into the blood
Sodium is needed to get water into the cell
-Symptoms of dehydration and water not reaching cells.
She discusses the symptoms of dehydration and water not reaching the cell. People experience symptoms such as:
-That they have to pee a lot
-They can't drink water
-Swollen body parts (also edema)
-No thirst
-Many people don't like water
-Or react negatively to drinking it
These symptoms may indicate that water is not being absorbed into the cells and that you are dehydrated.
-Cause water doesn't get into the cells
Causes such as:
-Mineral deficiency
-Drinking too little water
-Not eating enough greens
-Have too little vitamin D
-Eating too little salt (mineral deficiency)
-She discusses the cause of high blood pressure:
High blood pressure can have several causes. Dehydration, mineral deficiencies, magnesium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, a diet high in sugar/carbohydrates, lack of exercise, etc.
When a person doesn't eat enough fruits and vegetables (high in potassium and minerals), and on the other hand, consumes too much processed table salt, sodium levels rise and potassium levels fall, causing cells to swell and potentially leading to high blood pressure.
Natural doctors recommend using Celtic salt to help lower high blood pressure because it contains 82 minerals in a balanced form, including 3 types of magnesium, which can help absorb water into the cells.

What does he discuss in the video?
A body weighing approximately 70 kilos has about 250 grams of salt. He read this from a doctor's book. Biologist Robert Young says between 300 and 400 grams. So that's an average of 300 grams.
People who consume enough salt have a higher life expectancy. So eat salt regularly.
He explains in detail how the kidneys work and how salt plays a role in kidney function. If we were to lose our salt intake somehow, we would die within four hours.
The kidneys constantly try to retain salt in our body during their filtering process. Occasionally, they lose some salt, which we then need to replenish.
Conventional doctors keep saying we eat too much salt. Dr. Gábor Lenkei said this isn't true and that we're more likely to have a salt deficiency. And a salt deficiency poses health risks.
-Salt deficiency causes problems such as:
-Your muscles become weak
-you get tired and weak
-you feel miserable and you get into a bad mood
-People with salt deficiency often have headaches
--> You give these people 2g of salt on a teaspoon with a liter of water. In many cases, the headache disappears.
An important function of salt is to retain fluids in your body. If there isn't enough salt in your body, you lose all the water you drink. When you drink, the water is immediately excreted in your urine. You need to urinate immediately after drinking. Water needs to be able to reach your cells and tissues.
Someone with a salt deficiency has to urinate frequently. This happens more often in women. And because they don't want to urinate much, they're afraid to drink too much. So someone with a salt deficiency usually doesn't drink enough water, and that makes them dehydrated. You develop wrinkles more quickly and often become constipated.
They all have medications for headaches and constipation, which in turn are harmful. No conventional doctor will ask if a patient is drinking enough water or eating enough salt. A doctor should immediately ask if a patient is drinking enough salt and water when they have a headache.
Laxatives for constipation and painkillers for headaches dehydrate the body even more. The person is already dehydrated. These medications dehydrate the body even more. This is irresponsible what conventional doctors do.
Many animals are given a salt block to lick. All the literature states that when animals lick a salt block, their health remains optimal. The pharmaceutical industry and conventional doctors say that salt is bad for humans. We humans should avoid salt. This proves how the pharmaceutical industry deceives us.
A person or animal needs both minerals to maintain optimal health. Salt used to be a currency because it's so important to humans. And now, salt is suddenly considered bad.
He therefore calls the pharmaceutical industry a mafia organization.
