Your body needs it, but table salt won’t do the job
by Kelly Joyce Neff
Salt is not your enemy. After all, the phrase “salt of the earth” is a compliment. Salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly humans.
Water and salt regulate the water content of the body, and water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to remain outside the cells and balances the amount that stays outside. So, there are two reservoirs of water in the body; one reservoir is held inside the cells of the body, and the other reservoir is held outside the cells. Good health depends on the most delicate balance between the volumes of these two reservoirs. This balance is achieved by salt – unrefined salt. When organic, unrefined salt is lacking in your diet, weakness and sickness often follow.
The problem with salt is not the salt itself but the condition of the salt we eat. Our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with natural crystal salt from rocks or the sea. Table salt nowadays is mainly the “pure” chemical sodium chloride – and not salt as it occurs in nature. With the advent of industrial development, our natural salt was “chemically cleaned” and reduced to simple sodium chloride. Major producing companies dry their salt in huge kilns with temperatures reaching 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, changing the salt’s chemical structure, which in turn adversely affects the human body. The common table salt we use for cooking has only two or three chemical elements. Seawater, in contrast, has 84 chemical elements. For our body to be healthy we need all those minerals. When we use “common salt,” we are deprived of 81 of these natural constituents, which means we’re inadvertently causing ourselves to grow weaker, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases. Use sea salt always – or rock salt, which in most cases is almost as rich in nutrients. The phrase “unrefined salt” can be used to cover both varieties of rich, natural salt.
When water and unrefined salt are combined, they form a new substance, sole (“so-lay”). Sole is the fundamental mineral infusion for your body. You can replace electrolytes and balance your energy simply and naturally by drinking a sole solution each day. The sole is an excellent product for balancing the pH of your body. With the sole, one can also get rid of toxic, accumulating heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, nickel and cadmium because unrefined salt is able to break up their molecular structures.
Everyone knows that salt dissolves in water, right? But it won’t dissolve forever. Did you know that if you keep adding salt to a glass of water you get to a point where the water becomes “super-salty” and saturated with salt? Did you also know that when the water becomes “super-saturated” in this way that the surplus salt will just sit on the bottom of the glass without dissolving? This is exactly what sole is: super-saturated, super-salty water – as salty as it can possibly get. Here’s how to make it:
Place one inch of unrefined salt in a glass jar, preferably one with a lid. Add two to three inches of good quality spring water to the salt, completely covering the crystals with water, and let it sit overnight.
If all the salt crystals seem to have dissolved, gradually add some more unrefined salt to the water. Your sole is ready when the water becomes fully saturated with salt and just cannot hold any more. At this stage the salt will no longer dissolve. There should always be undissolved salt crystals visible in the jar. As you start to use up the sole, add more water and more salt until the water is again saturated in the same way. Remember, there should always be undissolved salt crystals on the bottom of the jar. This is your visual proof that the water is totally saturated with salt.
Each morning, before eating or drinking anything, add one teaspoon of the sole to a glass of spring water and drink it all. Your grateful body will benefit from the considerable value of the unrefined salt until the next morning.
Sole can also be used undiluted for tooth brushing. As a mouthwash, it helps reduce gum bleeding.
Keep the lid on the jar to prevent the water from evaporating. Otherwise, no special storage is needed. The fully saturated sole will keep forever. Salt is naturally anti-bacterial and a natural fungicide. It can never spoil or go bad.
