Inorganic Salt is Poisonous
A man wrote:
“I’ve come to the conclusion that you need minerals from the earth as-well-as from organic organisms. It’s the reason why animals lick at the earth at naturally occurring mineral licks.”
And then attached the following article:

I wrote:
No you haven’t.
Inorganic salt is poisonous and unassimilable by the human body.
It doesn’t matter if its table or celtic or himalayan, they are all inorganic.
It has to be living, organic salt coming from plants
Plants turn death into life.
This is the reason and purpose for “photosynthesis”
Photo means photon.
Synthesis means combining two things to form something new
Photosynthesis means combining photons with dead, unorganized, inorganic matter to create new, living, organized, organic matter also known as… plants!!!
Plants turn the dark into the light.
Plants inject light into the dark.
Plants inject life into the dead.
Plants contain all the salts you will ever need because they contain organic, organized salts
You don’t need unorganized, inorganic salts, you don’t want unorganized, inorganic salts.
There is no need to consume poison, it shortens your life span and fills you with darkness.
You want to focus on consuming things that fill you with light!
GERSON THERAPY STRICTLY PROHIBITED SALT
Salt is strictly avoided within Gerson Therapy protocol. Sodium inhibits the functioning of enzymes within the body.
There is a link to an article about Gerson Therapy in the photo description.
For those that aren’t aware of Gerson Therapy, it was such a successful & effective means of overcoming illness & disease (including supposedly “incurable” diseases, according to the Western medical industry, even many types of cancer), that Dr. Max Gerson was poisoned, and the manuscript to his unfinished book was stolen. He managed to survive & nurse himself back to health, He spent the next two years rewriting his book from square-1, and managed to finish it before he was poisoned a second time, which ended his life.
Needless to say, if you want to find a Gerson Therapy clinic, you have to go to Mexico, and there may be some smaller clinics in Europe. But Gerson Therapy is so effective, that it is not allowed to be professionally practiced in the U.S.
FOODS FOR THE GERSON DIET: PROHIBITED FOODS LIST
The first 3 things listed under the letter ‘S’ are…
“Salt, table salt, sea salt”
Why you ask?
ANSWER: Sodium acts as an Enzyme Inhibitor

The salt lick thing is a bogus argument. If it were true, then ALL animals would HAVE TO find salt licks. Animals are just like us and can easily get addicted to stimulants like salt. You will notice that none of these articles state that they KNOW why the animals go to the licks. The most probable reason they find is to eat clay, which is a rare negatively charged dirt and it acts as a sweep, cleaning out the body magnetically, much like pure water does. There IS NO nutrient value to this clay, it is a physical broom or sweeping tool, NOT A NUTRIENT.
You will also notice a HUGE glaring omission which is SO VERY COMMON these days:
THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER THESE ARE ORGANIC OR INORGANIC MINERALS, WHETHER THEY ARE ALIVE OR DEAD. THEY JUST SIMPLY STATE “SODIUM, CALCIUM, IRON, PHOSPHORUS AND ZINC.” THEY NEVER LIST WHETHER THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ORGANIC OR THE INORGANIC VERSION OF THESE MINERALS.
It’s not the scientist’s fault either, this ALL-IMPORTANT issue has been completely removed and deleted from all nutritional education.
When discussing nutrition, you HAVE TO state whether you are talking about living, light-infused matter or dead, light-depleted matter.
THIS IS THE KEY TO OBTAINING A HEALTHY, LIVING ORGANISM.
for more on how this works see here: aquariusthewaterbearer.com/organic-and-inorganic-minerals/
The following was found in the wikipedia article:
“Mineral lick sites play a critical role in the ecology and diversity of organisms that visit these sites, “””HOWEVER, LITTLE IS UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THE DIETARY BENEFITS”””
“””NOT FOR NUTRITION”””, but to ward off the effects of secondary compounds that are included in the arsenal of plant defences”
The following was found in the footnotes of the wiki article….
STUDY: “Nutrition or Detoxification: Why Bats Visit Mineral Licks of the Amazonian Rainforest”
CONCLUSION:
“We conclude that pregnant and lactating fruit-eating bats do not visit mineral licks principally for minerals, but instead to buffer the effects of secondary plant compounds that they ingest in large quantities during periods of high energy demand. These findings have potential implications for the role of mineral licks for mammals in general, including humans.”
The following was also found in the footnotes of the wiki article….
STUDY: “Mineral Licks as Diversity Hotspots in Lowland Forest of Eastern Ecuador”
“Mineral licks are sites where a diverse array of mammals and birds consume soil (geophagy) or drink water, “””LIKELY””” for mineral supplementation.”
“Mineral licks provide an important resource for many species “””BUT FURTHER STUDIES ARE NEEDED””” to determine the precise benefit(s) obtained.”
“Among the “””SUGGESTED””” benefits are mineral supplementation, detoxification of plant secondary compounds, and alleviation of digestive disorders”
“Given that soil or water from mineral licks “””MAY””” provide a dietary supplement of some type”
You will notice that ALL of these people admit that NONE of them have any real clues as to why A FEW animals go to salt licks.
It’s always, “suggested,” “likely,” or “may.”
Here are some excerpts from a newspaper article published in the THE BATTLE CREEK IDEA on January 9th, 1908 by Dr. John Kellogg…
“USE AND ABUSE OF SALT”
“I found the scientific evidence rapidly accumulating that salt is a damaging thing, and within the last four or five years the evidence has been coming overwhelmingly from Germany and France. By the most eminent of scientific men in the world the fact has been proven that salt is an unnecessary article of food.
The great majority of human beings eat no salt. In all central Africa there is no salt at all, and the millions of central Africa never taste salt. When America discovered by Columbus, the great number of Indians who people this country at that time ate no salt, and up to within a very short time, salt has not been used by the North American Indians. A friend of mine who kept a store out in the Indian Territory for some twenty years preceding the civil war told me that at that time the Indians ate no salt, never used it, any of them, and they never did use it until they were gradually accustomed to use it by using the government rations of salt pork and salt beef.
In going across the ocean some six or seven years ago, I met a gentlemen who was a missionary away up on the Hudson Bay, and been working up in the Hudson Bay region for twenty years as a missionary, an archdeacon in the Episcopal church. And this gentleman I found was with a tribe of Indians up there; and I improved the opportunity to talk with him quite extensively about the habits of the people, and he told me one thing that interested me very much. He said, ‘The people of that country do not use salt. The Indians are very much opposed to the use of salt.’
The experiment has been successfully made. I made it myself; for ten years I ate not a particle of salt; yet the physiologists and the doctors all said we must eat salt.”
Dr. John Kellogg, January 9th, 1908

BONUS PHENOMENALLY WRITTEN SALT ARTICLE!!!
A must read…
“Sea Salt, Is It Good For You?”
“Well well well Growing up Salt is looked at and called “the Spice of Life”, we should “Take all with a Grain of Salt”, its been revered and deemed of great value for Literal Ages! When we look at the properties, effects and supposed benefits of salt its no wonder why its played such a large role in our history. From the many varieties of “sea Salt” to Mined “rock salts” all of different character and colour Salt has been Used to Preserve, Pickle, Dry, and Stimulate the tastebuds!
When you really think about it Before we started Tilling the earth and digging up Tubers, Harvesting Grains and cooking our food (less than 1% of our time on the Planet) we Have been eating whole fresh ripe raw foods that didn’t really require anything to “pep” them up! Eating seasonally from the abundance nature has to offer in our ideal habitat the need to Store, preserve, Pickle is basically Nil. Moving outside of our natural environment has in part caused us to degrade over to a Comparatively Bland Diet made up of Cooked Starches and Meats, adding Salt makes that otherwise relitively Bland food Taste good!
The Hook is The more Salt you use the more Hooked you become to using it. The processed food industry uses this to their advantage, more so in the past before people knew the dangers of a High salt diet. Most processed foods are high in some form of salt and some form of Sugar, usually the cheapest one that the public accepts. The nature of these foods is to stimulate while under delivering on Nutrients, creating a “need” to eat more and more and more.
I feel we have stepped away from the original question posed, Is Sea Salt Good for you? Most people Know Iodized Salt isn’t so healthful, in fact most people today understand that ingesting Salt can can deeply impact almost all biochemical pathways in your body. When most people talk about salt they are thinking of Sodium Chloride, the principal component of common table salt. Sodium chloride, NaCl, and water, H2O, are formed by neutralization of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, a base, with hydrogen chloride, HCl, an acid: HCl+NaOH?NaCl+H2O. Sea salt is not so different, obtained by the evaporation of seawater or Mined from Old Sea beds and Caves (rock Salt). Its mineral content gives it a different taste and slightly different chemical composition from table salt. The additional minerals include Sulfate, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium among other trace minerals.
The Minerals I eat Salt for the Minerals!! This is often the Call made to convince people to eat Sea Salt. Despite the Known Dangers of a High Salt/sodium diet (listed below) the minute Mineral Content of Sea Salt is Driven in as a really good reason to eat this Otherwise Toxic stimulant. I find it strange that we would eat a known poison to get a small amount of minerals when Perfectly healthful whole foods contain the minerals we need in abundance! Chew a few more greens and rejoice in eating the Highest Mineral Content Food Per Calorie on the Planet!!!
Lets look at those Minerals anyhow…
Inorganic minerals as found in all types of Sea and Rock salt were never living, they come without carbon and cannot bring life to cells. The body treats these metals like toxins that must be eliminated at cost of vitality and cellular health. The Covalent Bonds are tightly held together and thus they cannot be easily broken down, due to this they can become deposited in the joints and tissues if they are not eliminated. Contrary to the electrons in the human body their electrons spin counter-clockwise, out of sync.
Organic minerals were once living, or are living and can bring life to cells. These contain carbon, often carbohydrate and their electrons spin clockwise, just like those of the human body. Additionally, these cells can form an ionic bond with the body and can easily break down into materials to help with bodily function, such as tissue repair. Its interesting to note the vibratory rate of organic minerals is comparable to tissue and cells. Inorganic minerals are not.
Inorganic Minerals as they exist in nature are found in the soil and water, Orgainic minerals on the other hand are found in plants and animals. Only plants (with the help of Bactria) can transform inorganic minerals into organic minerals. As Inorganic Minerals are useless and Injurious animals must eat plants or plant-eating animals to obtain their organic minerals.
An example of this is arsenic. Arsenic in the chemical, metal or inorganic state can be a lethal poison, however, when found in organic form in fresh celery and asparagus it is Healthful.
Rock Minerals are indeed healthful for plants, that is in the growing and creation of healthfull plants and the Fruits there of! I would encourage the use of Rock dust and such as a option for a great mineral rich garden! With the help of Bacteria around the root hairs of plants, Inorganic minerals are converted into Organic minerals (mineral + carbon ) that can become a part of the cell structure of plants including Carbohydrates.
Beyond this scientific look into the validity of Sea Salt and the Minerals there in, I like to look at the common sense…
For one, if you are dying of thirst and you drink sea water, you will Die! Why is this? Because salt is extremely dehydrating. It sucks the moisture out of your tissues to try to create a balance between the sodium and potassium inside and outside of your cells, immediately you are thirsty and must drink water in order to regulate the Hydration levels within and outside of your cells. The bodies solution to pollution is Dilution, have some salt and you will need dilute it quick.
Pour salt on a cut, or a slug, actually don’t, we all know what happens, it burns in the case of the hand and kills the slug. What does it do to your insides? Used for pickling and preserving food, does that make sense to take into our temple? The Samurai used to commit suicide by ingesting a ounce of salt, thats all it took. These days because of our average salt consumption it may take up to 2 ounces.
Some people say, we have been using it for a long long time, its revered and thought to be sacred in some cultures. So have Drugs,Violence, cruel rituals and prostitution, just because something has been used by cultures for a long time or is seen as sacred doesn’t necessarily mean its a great thing. Using common sense looking from as many angles as possible while paying attention to Natures design works every time!
Taking some time away from eating salt one can easily notice the negative effects of eating even a minute amount of sea salt. Immediate dehydration, physiological stimulation and a want to use more, dull senses and reduced ability to taste subtler flavours and as you can see in the video A puffy bloated look due to the body sucking up water to dilute the salt. For a time after consuming overt salt (sea salt, sauces with salt, table salt) the body will shed sodium in sweat in a increased rate to get this substance out as much and fast as possible.
How much sodium and how much minerals do we need?
Enough, thats it!! How much is Enough?
That which we can easily get from whole fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables. After 8 years on a raw food diet without Salt I am more than sure of this, My Doctor after 3 consecutive years of Blood tests, reviewing my mineral levels, vitamin levels, Protein levels, Fat levels, etc is sure of this. The ultra endurance athletes I know are more than sure of this and not worries about sodium even with their near inhuman feats!! I will soon be releasing my Interviews with DurianRider and Grant Campbell, two amazing Endurance and Ultra endurance athletes pushing the limits! They will share their gems of Knowledge on this subject and many more!
Common sense and nature bring us back to the simple truths.
The Following are the 7 major medical conditions that can arise from the overconsumtion of sodium. Its interesting to note that they are common with the mainstream using salt or sea salt but unheard of in raw foodists obtaining their Sodium in organic form from Whole fresh raw ripe plant foods.
Excerpted from 3fatchicks.com…
“1. High Blood Pressure – The number one medical consequence of high salt intake is hypertension. High intake of salt causes water retention and promotes abnormal influx of water molecules into your blood vessels. This action instantaneously increases your blood volume and blood pressure. Sudden rises of blood pressure can trigger life threatening cardiovascular emergencies like strokes and heart attacks. Reducing your sodium intake through diet can lower your blood pressure by as much as 25%.
- Ventricular Hypertrophy and Heart Failure – A habit of eating salty food can also heighten your risk of non-blood pressure related heart diseases. Having higher than normal blood volume means that your heart has to work much harder to provide proper circulation. Over time, your heart can become abnormally large and your heart valves can become thinner. An enlarged heart is significantly weaker and can lead to symptoms like chest pains, breathlessness and chronic fatigue. Fatal cases like sudden cardiac arrest and heart failure can also occur.
- Osteoporosis- Sodium inhibits your body’s absorption and utilization of calcium, leading to a loss of bone mass and increased porousness of your bones. Women after menopause, diabetics and elderly people who are already at high risk of osteoporosis should be especially careful about salt intake. Having a high salt diet can drastically heighten your chances for fractures and other skeletal deformations.
- Kidney Disorders – Excess calcium and sodium that are not used by your body goes into your urine. This can increase the filtration load of your kidneys and increase the likelihood of crystal formation. Elevated blood pressure and blood volume are also extremely damaging to your kidneys.
- Dehydration and Swelling – Feeling thirsty is a direct response after having salty food. This happens because excessive sodium in your blood draws water out of your cells and into your tissues. Dehydrated cells signal your brain for water. Having fluid filled tissue makes you look bloated and swollen, and these symptoms are especially severe in the lower parts of your body. Reducing your salt intake is an effective way of preventing swollen feet, ankles and calves.
- Digestive Diseases – Sodium regulates the acid-base balance of blood and body fluids. Too much salt can trigger acid reflux and cause heart burn and long-term damage to your upper digestive tract. Studies have shown that habitual intake of salty foods is a strong risk factor for duodenal and gastric ulcers and cancers.
- Electrolyte and Hormone Imbalance – Excessive sodium can impact both your electrolyte and hormone balance. Too much sodium can severely hinder the conduction of nerve impulses and induce symptoms like dizziness, muscle cramps and shakiness. You can also have impaired sensory response, feel disoriented or develop other depressive symptoms.”
