Health Talk: Celtic Sea Salt

As passionate supporters of health, Living Food Farm wants to focus on the problems of high blood pressure and why Celtic Sea Salt can help tremendously. We will cover on the facts of high blood pressure today, and go through the common questions that people ask on why Celtic Sea Salt is the solution! The source of the information below is from Advanced Natural Therapies.

Facts about high blood pressure:

• High blood pressure is one of the most serious health problems in the United States; yet, because high blood pressure has no symptom, millions of people do not even know they have it.
• As many as one in four adults in the United States have high blood pressure.
• Doctors do not know what causes high blood pressure in 90 to 95 percent of people who have it.
• High blood pressure is one of the risk factors for coronary heart disease.
• High blood pressure is the risk factor for stroke, which is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
• High blood pressure is a common cause of heart failure, the leading cause of death in the United States
• High blood pressure is a common cause of kidney disease.

De Langre, known as Dr. Salt, wrote Seasalt's Hidden Powers and gave answers to common questions about Celtic Sea Salt on high blood pressure:

Question #1: How do you know Celtic salt helps lower high blood pressure? Is there any testimonial that proves it?

De Langre: We have had reports of people going to the doctor and their doctor saying, “Well, you must be taking less salt, because your blood pressure is lower.” But the truth is that they didn’t cut down their salt intake at all. They were taking the Celtic Salt.

One reader writer, “My husband has refused to get off white salt, so he has always had high blood pressure. But since he stopped using the store refined salt, and started using
Celtic Salt, his blood pressure is now normal,” We hear this all the time.

Here’s a letter from a man in Los Angeles. “Two weeks ago I donated blood at a Red Cross station. At that time my blood pressure was 160 over 90. (Normal is 120 over 80). Yesterday, after hardly one week of using the Celtic salt, the only new addition to my diet, I recorded a blood pressure reading of 105 over 82. I am convinced that your salt had a hand in reducing my blood pressure.”

Question #2: Why does Celtic salt lower blood pressure? What’s the mechanism?

De Langre: In regular white salt, the refined sodium chloride often stays in the body long after it has been swallowed. Celtic salt helps to remove this excess sodium, as soon as it is no longer needed. This is because the Celtic salt has magnesium, about ¾ of 1% by solids. One of the roles of magnesium in the body is to remove the excess sodium.

Question #3: How long does it take for a person to notice a reduction in blood pressure?

De Langre: It varies with each person. Sometimes people call me less than a month later and say, “I had my blood pressure taken, and it has gone down. Could it be the Celtic salt?” I would say on an average, it takes a month or longer to notice a drop in blood pressure. Of course, everyone is different. There are always exceptions. The Celtic salt literally “scrounges” around the body looking for excess salt deposits in the interstitial tissue and it just drains this sodium through the kidneys. The Celtic salt will also help to dissolve kidney stones. Medical doctors have told me that.

Question #4: Suppose a person has low blood pressure. Will taking the Celtic salt make their pressure go even lower?

De Langre: Not at all! The Celtic salt has this uncanny ability to bring back whatever functions are unbalance in the body. If you have low blood pressure, the Celtic salt will bring the pressure back up. If you have high blood pressure, it brings it down. Only “mother nature” or natural means can do this.

Pharmaceutical drug which is designed to lower blood pressure will only work one way – “down.” and they can bring your pressure so darn low, you will have problems.

Amazingly so, Celtic Sea Salt is the incredible solution overlooked and misunderstood by many people. Who ever thought that the “correct kind of salt” is good for one’s health? Or even that it can help high blood pressure? Not many people know about this. Celtic Salt is there for us to use it, so use it!

Thrilling Results
by Sandra Ammons

I am thrilled with my results and wanted to share with you. This may seem to be trivial to you but I have been very worried about my high cholesterol. My high cholesterol count last August was 240! I felt somewhat depressed but decided that I would fight it somehow. I did not want to be put on cholesterol-lowering medication. My doctor said I need to change my diet before he would consider putting me on any medication. He was impressed, though, with my good cholesterol, HDL.  

Last November, my doctor wanted me to have a follow-up blood work but I kept putting it off. Again in February, he told me I had to have the blood work done. I dreaded it but I finally got the courage to do so last week and just yesterday, I went in to see him for the results. Guess what?! It dropped down to 196! My good cholesterol, HDL was still impressive but my bad cholesterol, LDL, went down! My doctor was pleased and said I do not need to be put on any medication. I am all smiles!  

Let me tell you what I think is really working for me besides changing my diet. I must be truthful here --- I did cheat once in a while with some brie cheese and crackers (but always with grapes!), cookies, ice cream and a few other 'no-no' foods. What I did was --- taking a tablespoon of the Living Food Farm barley grass powder. (I was convinced by the barley grass powder when my co-worker told me that he managed to lower his cholesterol count after taking the barley grass powder). So I tried it and it worked!
