Unrefined salt and table salt - apples and oranges, May 17, 2010
This review is from: Salt - Your Way To Health (Paperback)
The author of this book explains how the 'salt is bad for you and must be severely minimised or else cause high blood pressure etc. etc.' myths came into being. I was shocked at how shonky the science that supposedly proved salt was so bad, really was (and is).
To be clear, salt is very bad for you, if you're talking about table salt.
However, unrefined salt is an entirely different substance and is essential to good health, in the appropriate amount (and also makes your food taste MUCH better as we are designed to want a bit of salt in our food!) This book also explains how very low salt diets cause their own problems and how eating table salt uses up valuable mineral stores in the body, making table salt an antinutrient.
The author explains how he has improved the health of many patients with high blood pressure as well as many other ailments, with unrefined salt and all the micro-minerals it contains (along with a comprehensive and individualised nutritional medicine program).
Unrefined salt is not a miracle cure, just another part of giving your body all the tools it needs to heal itself as much as possible. We need those 80 trace elements in unrefined salt! They do all sorts of important tasks in the body.
This book is very short and simple to read, although it is somewhat annoyingly repetitive. For those that can't afford the book, a summary of its main points is simple;Drink two litres of water every day and add 0.5 to 1 teaspoon of unrefined salt to your diet (or your water) each day. That's it!
Incidentally, many products labeled 'sea salt' are just plain old table salt. Unrefined salt is NEVER white. It is often off-white or light brown, grey or pink and is slightly moist. It should also contain 80 trace minerals. (Look for Celtic sea salt, or similar.)
Don't believe the salt scaremongers! Read this book!

One of the body's essential elements for survival., August 1, 2008
This review is from: Salt - Your Way To Health (Paperback)
After reading this book, I felt like the conventional world really didn't understand the human body and how it works. Salt and water are what our body's require for survival and if properly consumed we as humans can live without disease and destruction.

Much Excellent Information!, July 1, 2010
This review is from: Salt - Your Way To Health (Paperback)
A well written, easy to understand book, with much excellent and some new information, I have only one compliant with the book. While I like a certain amount of repetition in a book, as it cements the ideas in your mind, this book has to much repetition. Especially, the idea the refined salt is bad for you and unrefined sea salt is good. In spite of this one flaw, I gave this book five stars because of the abundance of essential information that it contains. For instance, I have have read countless books on various health subjects and never had the poisonous affects of bromine explained. The book is a fast read. In spite of the repetition, I wanted to keep reading and find what information it would provide next. Some of it new, but all of it important and interesting. Do yourself a favor and read the book.
