Addiction #08 – Freedom from SALT
“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be
restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under
foot.” ~ Jesus (Matthew 5:13)
Salt has three major beneficial properties – three kinds of “taste” … it enhances flavor, it
preserves, and it purifies. And yet, when natural salts are altered to become the cheap
table salt that we normally ingest, however, a radical series of changes take place. Instead
of enhancing the flavor of our food, flavor is dampened. Instead of preserving our health,
it damages our bodies. And instead of cleansing us, it clouds our connection to True Self.
With the advent of industrial development, natural salt began to be “chemically cleaned”
and reduced. Essential minerals and trace elements were removed, and crystal salt
becomes pure sodium chlorides – the only member of the family of rocks that humans
ingest.
Life is not possible without salt. But because our regular table salt no longer resembles
the crystal salt that our bodies require (in moderate amounts) to maintain their health, our
consumption of refined table salt is killing us.
