1. Is there a
difference between unrefined sea salt and Miracle Krystal
Salt?

Celtic Salt and Sea Salt are subject
to environmental pollution, whether it is from seagull
droppings in the water or an oil tank leaking into the
ocean. "The trouble with sea salt is that the oceans
have been turned into waste disposal-dumping facilities
and are being polluted with heavy metals like lead,
cadmium, arsenic, mercury and more. Oil disasters and
leaking tanks frequently cause headlines as they pollute
our oceans. The poisons from these sources are harmful
to our bodies. Today, Sea Salt doesn't have the same
positive impact on our health as it did in the past.
Also, 89% of all the Sea Salt producers are refining
their salt!"*
*("Seasalt's Hidden Powers",
Jacque de Langre, PhD) Crystal salt is pure, and has
been undisturbed for millions of years. Celtic Salt
and Sea Salt’s minerals are also not in a compound
structure, which mean the chemical elements and minerals
in those salts are not connected. The body must work
harder to process these salts. All the minerals in crystal
salt are fully usable and are in their natural original
structure because the minerals are all connected in
a wonderful crystal structure. Many sea salt companies
say they are natural, yet they are still refining their
salt! Refined salt can destroy the true usable state
of the minerals.

2. What are electrolytes, and why are they
important?
|

Electrolytes such as Sodium, Calcium
and Potassium in crystal salt help restore your body’s
fluids.
*Electrolytes in crystal salt are important because they
are what your cells (especially nerve, heart, and muscle)
use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and
to carry nerve impulses and muscle contractions across
themselves and to other cells.
*Electrolytes must be constantly replaced whenever we
sweat heavily, and we need a constant supply of electrons.
By
integrating crystal salt into your diet, you may increase
your bodies ability to maintain it's electrolyte balance,
which is crucial for nerve conduction and muscular function.
*Muscle contraction depends on the action of Calcium,
whose balance and function depends on the presence of
other chemicals including Potassium and Sodium. In crystal
salt, your body will receive the necessary Potassium and
Sodium that your body needs for basic functions.
*Not having balanced electrolytes shifts our bodies out
of homeostasis (the balance of chemicals which is conducive
to the body’s function). By using crystal salt,
your body can utilize all the electrolytes and find balance
in the body. |
3. Why do you take crystal salt?
|

Crystal
salt has up to 74 essential minerals and trace elements
that harmonize with our bones and enzymes. Our bones and
enzymes are full of minerals. We need to keep replenishing
the supply of these minerals, with a proper diet to stay
healthy. Crystal salt is a great addition to any diet
for your body’s mineral needs. Crystal
salt holds a perfect structure, and when we take in whole
foods, like crystal salt, our body remembers how to balance
itself and begins to resonate to the whole foods we are
taking in. This means our body can return to its natural
state of health by ingesting crystal salt. We have approximately
84 elements and minerals in our bones and enzymes. It
is important to maintain these minerals through our diet.
We are often told that the body consists of 70% water
therefore it’s important to drink water, but that
is not the entire truth. Drinking water is important but
our bodies actually consists of 70% of a saline solution
containing salt, and it’s the quality of the salt
in the water of your bodily fluids that will determine
whether or not your bodily fluids can perform their biological
functions. Now as we know from medicine, dehydration is
a problem that can support the origin of any disease that
we know of. On the other
hand, hydration on a cellular level, which requires more
than just drinking water, it requires water and the right
type of salt that can help us with any health condition
and can also improve our well being in general. The benefits
of crystal salt are truly endless and the best way to
find out is to try it for yourself. |
4. Will I get enough iodine
in my diet if I am just using crystal salt?
|
|
Universal
Audio
|
|
Yes, because crystal salt has naturally occurring iodine
in exactly the proportion your body needs. Regular table
salt is usually iodized. Naturally occurring iodine
is essential, but added iodine is considered a toxic
metal. Crystal salt offers a balanced spectrum of minerals
and trace elements including ionic iodine, which is
the most absorbable iodine that you can possibly have.
So if you use crystal salt in your diet regularly, you
should have sufficient iodine coverage.

5. What is the difference between refined and
unrefined salt?
|
|
Universal
Audio
|
|
When you refine salt you bring it down
to just two elements, sodium and chloride out of 74 elements
that are essential for the human body. Also a lot of refined
salts on the market contain toxic anti- caking agents
that sometimes contain aluminum in a metallic form which
is not something you ever want to have in your food. Unrefined
salt on the other hand contains up to 74 minerals and
trace elements that are the essential building blocks
of human life. The differences are vast because any imbalance
of singular nutrients like isolated sodium and chloride
will imbalance your whole mineral metabolism in your body.
We all need the nutrients in the right proportions and
unrefined salt contains the 74 essential minerals and
trace elements in very similar proportions as are found
in human blood or in the fluids inside of human cells.

6. What health benefits will I feel when I
take crystal salt?
|
|
Universal
Audio
|
|
You may start to find your cravings for
sugar or alcohol diminish fairly soon after beginning
to use the salt. Of course this depends on how healthy
your lifestyle is. You really need to institute all the
components of a healthy lifestyle. (Drink high quality
water, no chlorinated water, no caffeine, and exercise
in fresh air, NO TABLE SALT.) |
7. How long will it take to notice these benefits?
|
|
Universal

The duration varies on a variety of factors
such as your overall health condition, your lifestyle,
your diet, but most people report that they recognize
tangible benefits within the first weeks of taking crystal
salt. Now in some cases crystal salt may lower high blood
pressure within a few days. This is a reoccurring phenomenon
that never ceases to amaze me. Other effects that people
may notice rather quickly is that their bodies are more
easily hydrated. They drink water, but it seems to finally
do what water’s supposed to do in the body. A
lot of people report that chronic pains lessen to some
extent even after taking crystal salt for only one or
two weeks. Other benefits are more of a long-term nature
such as the detoxification of the body which is something
you would never want to rush. Also with weight loss, crystal
salt can help over time. There are immediate, midterm
and long term benefits from taking crystal salt but I
would not try too much to envision when these benefits
should occur because the wisdom of your body always knows
best. |
8. Tell us about the salt solution called "brine",
and how do I make the brine?
|
|
Universal
Audio
|
|
Cover the bottom of a small glass jar
with washed rock crystals and add enough filtered or artesian
water so that you have three times the amount of water
as crystals. The brine can be used after two hours, but
allow 24 hours for it to reach a full saturation point
of 26% in solution. Start
with one drop per day and work up to a maximum of one
teaspoon per day. Take in a glass of pure water on an
empty stomach. The brine is very powerful so start slowly
and find the proper amount for your body. It is highly
recommended that while taking the brine you drink two
quarts of pure water a day. When you have used up half
the brine, add more water and crystals as necessary. |
9. How is the salt related to human blood?
|
|
Universal

|
|
Salt is related to human blood in two
ways. First of all, human blood plasma has a mineral balance
which is very delicate and the maintenance of which is
very important for the maintenance of our overall health.
The other reason why salt is related to blood so much
is the wrong type of salt, refined salt, dehydrates us
so that blood actually gets thicker and then the body
has to increase blood pressure to still move that thickened
blood into the arteries and capillaries. Crystal salt,
on the other hand, provides the minerals and trace elements
that are needed in human blood in very similar proportions
that are needed for optimum blood plasma. Crystal salt
helps us to stay hydrated because it electrically charges
the body in such a way that we can use water more efficiently
so our blood will stay naturally thin, move easily and
gracefully through our arteries and capillary system without
increased blood pressure. |
10. Can you describe how crystal salt tastes
to you and will it change the taste of food?
|
|
Universal
Audio
|
|
Yes, crystal salt tastes better than
table salt. It will make your food taste better. Table
salt or sodium and chloride has a very harsh flavor and
is hyper-salty. Table salt is harsh on the taste buds
or the nerve endings on the tongue; it may actually shrivel
the nerve endings. Crystal salt has a gentle almost sweet
flavor. In fact some people call it the “sweet”
salt. |
11. How does crystal salt effect blood pressure?
