go to www.curezone.com/foods/salt/book_seasalts_hidden_powers.htm
Inquiry prompted by an article in "Caduceus" No:65
from p.30 issue 65 Caduceus
Minerals in salt (Parts per million)
-Mineral -- -Sea Salt-- -TableSalt-- Chloride-- --490,000 --612,262 Sodium-- --310,000 --387,4000 Sulphur-- --11,200 --0 Zinc-- --9,200 --0.01 Magnesium-- --7,200 --10.1 Iron-- --3,800 --3.4 Potassium-- --2,900 --80.8 Calcium-- --2,200 --242.5 Copper-- --1,800 --0.003 Silicon-- --1,100 --0 Strontium-- --90 (you are kidding..ha..ha!) --0 Boron-- --80 --0 Flouride-- --40 --0 Lithium-- --2 --0 Rubidium-- --1.4 --0 Phosphorous-- --1.12 --0 Iodine-- --0.7 --0 (unless iodized)- Barium-- --0.2 --0 Molybdenum-- --0.12 --0 Nickel-- --0.8 --0 Arsenic-- --0.037 --0 Manganese-- --0.024 --0 Vanadium-- --0.024 --0 Tin-- --0.009 --0 Cobalt-- --0.004 --0 Antimony-- --0.003 --0 Silver-- --0.003 --0 Chromium-- --0.002 --0 Mercury-- --0.002 --0 Cadmium-- --0.001 --0 Selenium-- --0.001 --0
(Note: Sea salt contains the other mineral elements of the sea at levels of parts per billion or per trillion which are "insignificant" to humans.)
Basically the article describes how the treatment of salt crystals destroys their usefulness as a supplement and nutritional catalyst.... "For maximum health benefits Dr.Langre advises that sea salt should be added to food as it cooks, since the food's moisture quickly disolves it, enabling all the active nutrients and trace elements to be incorporated into regenerative blood cells. A further benefit is that vegetables, especially when steamed with natural salt, will contain the electrolytes vital to the systems of the body".
and "Once these crystals are broken or re-crystallised, rapid oxidation and dehydration occurs, releasing micro-elements as well as trapped disolved gases, otherwise taken up in the air over the oceans and distributed around shorelines as well as inland."
So don't used crushed or ground salt (no matter how pure) let the water disolve whole crystals releasing the gases into the cooking.

As far as I can tell there is no medical reason at all to add salt to food. A well-balanced diet without added salt contains all these trace elements in abundance. (but just like dr. Jaques I'm not a medical doctor. Perhaps a medically trained shroomerite can shed some light on this)

I don't see how boiling water does anything to salt that sitting in the digestive tract for many hours doesn't do.

I don't even know what point is being made here. If the gasses are released by crushing, how is this different from "being taken up into the air"? Or is the article claiming that the insignificant amount of salt (compared to the staggering amounts in the oceans) taken by salt pans somehow destroys the natural equilibrium?
I may be wearing my skeptic's hat today, but I call quack on Jacques de Langre. PhD or no PhD.

The magnesium level in sea salt alone is said to be an agent for the prevention of heart failure. The "gas in the air stuff" refers to the famed (sepecially by the Victorians) curative properties of sea air. However the amount released by cooking with small quantities is relatively (although perhaps not cummulatively) unimportant, it is the effect these gases have on the nutrients in (esp.) fruit and vegetables which make it an invaluable aid in the kitchen. The word "Salary" derives from the practice of paying Roman soldiers with salt ("Sod'em" doesn't but whose counting ?), again it is the effect these minerals have on the foodstuffs that is important, the use of salt primarily as a flavouring is an abuse. Boiling salt releases the gas from the crystal (hence it is added whole not crushed or ground) and exites the gas to perform it's work on the veg which is itself changing in nature and thus "opening" to receive the gas and allow it to do it's work. But if you want to continue to use denuded salt (much of which uses hexacyanoferrate as an anti-caking agent) go ahead, you are risking a stroke and/or (probably) even Alzhiemer's if you are stupid enough to still be using aluminium pans. Consider this "impurities" are added to pure sodium chloride in hospital saline drips to prevent poisoning the patient, because in it's pure form sodium chloride is a poison.

I try to minimize the amount of added salt in my cooking, and I prefer to use stainless steel pans.
As far as the poisonous nature of table salt, I guess the old adage of Paracelsus holds in that it is the dose that determines whether it's a poison or a remedy, although the presence of mercury, chromium cobalt and cadmium in sea-salt does worry me more than the lack of useful trace elements in refined salt, which at least where I live is mostly rock salt, laid down millions of years before industrial chemicals were dumped near the ocean shores. (which of course doesn't automatically mean that it 's safe since all heavy metals ultimately come from the ground)
If your diet is limited to hydroponically grown vegetables then I could imagine a risk of missing out on these trace elements but organically grown food (or at least food grown in the ground) tends to take up all these minerals from the soil.
As for the gasses, I don't know. Perhaps I have it easy, since I live relatively close to the sea and get all this stuff for free (Plus an icy wet chill around sunrise and sunset which probably does more harm to people than those elusive gasses could ever make up for.) but then considering that air currents reach the whole planet and the vast majority of our planetary surface is ocean, I find it hard to believe that there is a place on earth where they would not be present.

In the U.K climate the cooking of brassicas and root veg provides most of our vitamins and minerals, the denaturing process that occurs when vitamin rich raw foods are cooked without this neccesary supplement leaves our diet lacking in many essential elements. Why would pure salt have been considered so valuable in ancient times (so much so that it was used as currency) if it hadn't been considered an essential nutrient ? Modern man has corrupted this amazing mineral and turned it into a poison. As an example of a philosophy dictated by it's indigenous food souces consider "Jainism". Jain devotional practice would not have developed if it had not been possible to supply all the body's nutritional needs without breaking the soil (a large number of the World's pulses and beans are sub-continent endemics). My point being that there is more than one way to look at something. Haven't you ever felt that there was something lacking in our understanding of the treatment and processing of foods? When I discovered Dr.Langre's work I experienced a "Eureka" moment because it filled a gap in my knowledge and understanding of Universal principles.

Nothing wrong with Chromium, I just started myself on a Boron and Chromium protocol today (found in a natural state sourced from a plant found in the Negev Desert called "Atriplex").

It's alright saying these minerals and trace elements are present but are they available to the body?

That's just bad science. A whiff of chloroform will knock you out but not if you're standing 50ft away!!

N.B The word insignificant appears in parenthesis above because current "vibrational theory" would probably argue that the presence of other elements may well be "remembered" within the crystaline structure (this would be dependent upon the salt crystals water content -if any ?-) and in any case even small amounts of any substance will have an effect on the organism.
