SALT is a toxic and poisonous substance, heres why: The major component of sea salt is sodium chloride. Sea salt is touted as being healthier than table salt because because it has trace minerals and the latter is heat processed. Even so, mineral salts in inorganic form are extremely toxic. They impair all of our metabolic and cellular functions. Because it is toxic, the body retains water to dilute the toxicity so we dont diet. This is edema, and it can result in headaches and heart irregularity. When we are retaining water, the fluid balance in the body is out of balance and cellular transport is impaired. The body needs to maintain the fluid pressure inside the cells at a specific ratio to the fluid pressure outside of the cells. When we have extra high fluid pressure outside of the cells as a result of salt eating, the cells are not able to efficiently transport normal metabolic wastes out of the cells, thus we become more and more toxic, leading to chronic fatigue and illness. Not to mention the body needs to maintain specific concentration ratios of sodium to potassium inside and outside of the cells for proper functioning. A high salt diet leads to excess sodium becoming locked into the cells, creating cellular dysfunction. This has been linked to many modern diseases, including cancer, diabetes, hardening of arteries, hypertension, kidney disease, nervous disorders, and osteoporosis. As long as we have salt in our diet, we cannot effectively detoxify, lose excess weight and completely heal. Once salt (sodium chloride) is discontinued it can take as many as a few years to offload all of the excess sodium chloride.
