DE LANGRE: In this country, that is what people have been taught, all the way from kindergarten to medical school, to them, salt is pure sodium chloride. There is no other salt available in the U.S., so this rules their thinking. When people talk about salt. They overlook completely that there are 84 buffering elements in salt to protect people from the harshness of sodium chloride in its pure state. Nature put these complimentary elements in salt for two reasons: First, to make sure that people could use the sodium properly. And second, to ensure that once the sodium has been utilized, it will be eliminated completely and quickly from the kidneys. An analysis of salt goes way beyond the minerals and the chemical elements, there was an article on this topic in the September 1982 issue of Ocean Magazine They made a fantastic defence of salt, saying salt is not just chemicals, it is a lot more. There is bio-electric energy in salt; there is magnetism; there are vital and inert gases, such as helium, neon and argon; plus there are micro-organisms that are critical for the life of salt. They wrote, "Sea water is a complex chemical soup, containing 84 of the 103 known elements." Nature had a purpose in making our blood like the ocean. In the ocean, sodium is buffered. In our blood, the sodium is buffered. And in our diet, the sodium should be buffered as well. If you tried to inject pure sodium chloride intravenously, you would kill the patient. He goes into salt shock. This is well known in medical circles. In the 1900's, a medical doctor named Jacques Loeb, from the university of California, performed an epic experiment. He put fish in a tank of water mixed with refined salt, the same concentration of salt that exists in sea water. All the fish died. If fish can't live on pure sodium chloride in dilute concentration, how can we?
