Full spectrum salts from the Great Salt Lake in Utah provide a complex mixture of many salts, minerals and trace elements found in seawater - these harmonise with the bodies cells and internal fluids to support health.

Propaganda leads us to believe salt is better to avoid, but not all salts are the same.   Modern, refined salt has no nutritional benefits and is difficult for the body to utilise.    On the other hand, full spectrum salts make an important contribution to health and well being.

The availability of quality salt has been linked to the mental and physical health of whole populations, as discussed in the excellent book: Sea Salt's Hidden Powers by Jacques de Langre Ph.D. (Available in our online shop).

Health Benefits of Full Spectrum Salts

Help to Normalise Blood Pressure

Jacques de Langre Phd. studied the effect of Celtic Sea Salt on his patients over a 35-year period, finding it to be the best treatment for high blood pressure.  (There are other factors involved in blood pressure abnormalities - lack of a range of nutrients, including anti-oxidants/bioflavenoids and vitamin C leading to fragility of the arterial walls.  Deposition of hardened fats is partly a defence to stop the arteries tearing or rupturing. Cholesterol levels in the diet and in the blood is not a cause of hardening of the arteries, low fat diets do not work, are unnatural and will cause further health problems).  Please do read the full article for an in depth discussion of the benefits of Celtic Sea Salt - for therapeutic results we recommend the Ionic minerals, for use with food, Celtic Ocean Sea Salt makes food taste delicious.

Balance Energy, Mood and Mentality

Many people report that daily use of seawater helps with energy balance.  Persons who are hyperactive or stressed tend to be normalised.  Persons low in energy, especially if depressed, tend to normalise.  In many, the use of Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements has been curative of depression.

Manic states can also be normalised. This is partly explained by the calming elements of magnesium, lithium and bromine found in sea water.  All natural elements found in sea water are non-toxic.

Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements help to process or conduct electrical energy or chi within the body. Any improvement in metabolism or vitality induced by nutritional or energy therapy draws on and uses up full spectrum salts.   Ironically, this can lead to imbalances in health and a blockage in the therapeutic process.  We believe this a common reason for people failing reach optimum health.  

Hydration

Full spectrum salts are essential for hydration.   Without full spectrum salts the cells cannot pull in sufficient water, leaving them dehydrated and interfering with all biochemical processes.   Also, the electrical potential between the inside and outside of the cell becomes unbalanced.      Lack of full spectrum salts can cause fluid retention outside the cells.  Any fluid imbalance and / or electrical potential imbalance can lead to a whole host of health problems, beginning with disorders of sleep, mood, mentality and energy, and in the long term, to failure of glands and organs.

The "Internal Sea"

Every cell in our body is bathed in a clear fluid called or extracellular fluid.  It is similar to sweat and is salty. The amniotic fluid that surrounds the foetus in the womb is of similar composition.   The closest fluid found in nature is sea water.   This takes on further meaning when we consider that the life forms we evolved from were single celled, sea creatures.

Evolution tried to fulfil the need to constantly replenish the internal sea by synthesising the internal sea / extracellular fluid from food and water consumed.  Strong evidence indicates that animals and humans have not evolved sufficiently to convert from food, sufficient quality or quantity of salts for optimal health.   For example, grazing animals, with a diet of rich sources of vegetation and grasses, need to supplement their diet with salt deposits; in Africa many are killed in the process as the carnivores lie in wait for grazing animals to take their fill of rock salt at specific locations.

Dosage and Diet Guidelines

Full spectrum salts, in the form of a sea water concentrate, at 3 teaspoons in a pint of water daily, provides 3 grams of 'good salt' in balance with all the other minerals and trace elements as found in sea water and our extracellular fluid. There are about 22 pints of extracellular fluid in the typical adult. Three grams is the total amount of salt generally recommended by persons who have studied the useful role of salt. In practice, over several years of research, we have found that the amount to produce the best results varies from one teaspoon to 3 teaspoons in water daily.  Experiment to find your needs. If in doubt try 2 teaspoons in a pint of water daily.

Refined table salt can be toxic to the body, and also to a lesser extent - sea and rock salt.  Ironically many of us are in need of salt, but the only forms we regularly consume, or know about are corrupt forms of the 'salt of life'. From this corruption of the widely available and used salts comes the inaccurate and confusing propaganda, from official 'government' sources as well as the health food industry, that salt is bad for us. This helps spread more sickness. Various low sodium salts have been released to offset the 'bad' sodium (sodium is the main mineral in the extracellular fluid)

Whatever method of healthy eating and supplemental regime one adopts full spectrum salts are still essential to complete the electrical circuits and the balance of fluids and minerals in the body.   Some persons have a greater need for salt for constitutional or genetic reasons.   Research has ascertained that some persons, including most with chronic fatigue loose excess salt via the urine. This has been traced to a weakness or imbalance in the adrenal glands and hypothalamus.  Almost all persons will benefit from supplementing with full spectrum salts, preferably sea water concentrate, but some individuals have special needs due to poor retention of salt.

Calcium and potassium are not sufficient in full spectrum salts, therefore these must be obtained from fruits and vegetables and other foods, preferably raw, but if cooked keeping any water that is used to boil or steam vegetables.  Barley Grass Juice Powder is a useful supplement to add a full spectrum mixture of food state minerals, trace elements and vitamins etc. Please also see see Dietary Guidelines

This is not the same product as Concentrace, also from the Great Salt Lake in Utah USA. Concentrace has had about 90% of the sodium chloride removed, rendering it an unnatural product and not supporting a health metabolism or extracellular fluid. It was released on to the market to sell a product to coincide with the mis-information released about the dangers of sodium chloride. Any excess sodium chloride trapped in the tissues by years of consuming refined salt (sodium chloride on its own) will be eliminated by the use of Ionic Liquid Minerals & Trace Elements. Without daily use of sodium chloride, in its natural balance with the other minerals and trace elements, health is, in most individuals, held below optimum
