About Le Paludier Organic Natural Sea Salt

Salt of Life

Le Paludier salt is harvested ecologically from a pristine clean shore and dried without artificial heat. All of the trace minerals found in nature's own salt have been left undisturbed and in delicate balance. Unlike table salt, white sea salt crystals (also refined), and unrefined salt from refineries or ancient seabeds, Le Paludier chemically resembles almost exactly amniotic fluid, the 'mini-ocean' for the human fetus.

Le Paludier salt comes from the region of Guerande-Brittany, on the North West coast of France. It is cultivated and harvested without synthetic chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and packed under pharmaceutical conditions.

Paludiers, or salt farmers, use wooden tools and follow the ancient tradition of the early Celtic people, allowing the sea water in a series of canals to evaporate on natural clay beds. It is the gently raked into piles and allowed to dry slowly in the sun.

Le Paludier sea salt has been given the NATURE PROGRES Certificate which is confirmation of the main European organization for organic agriculture.

Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D.

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, salt has many functions other than regulating the water content in the body:

• "Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. It can be used to relieve asthma by putting it on the tongue after drinking a glass or two of water."
• "Salt is vital for extracting excess acidity from inside the cells, particularly the brain cells. If you don't want Alzheimer's disease, don't go salt-free..."
• "Salt is the best diuretic that exists."
• "Salt is vital for the kidneys to clear excess acidity and pass the acidity into the urine. Without sufficient salt in the body, the body will become more and more acidic."
• "Salt is essential in the treatment of emotional and affective disorders."
• "Salt is essential for preserving the seratonin and melatonin levels in the brain. When water and salt perform their natural antioxidant duties and clear the toxic waste from the body, essential amino acids will not be sacrificed as chemical antioxidants."
• "Salt, in my opinion, is vital for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer cells are killed by oxygen; they are anaerobic 'organisms'... dehydration - shortage of water and salt - suppresses the immune system and its disease-fighting cells' activity..."
• "Salt is vital for maintaining muscle tone and strength. Lack of bladder control in those who suffer from involuntary leakage of urine could be a consequence of low salt intake."
• "Salt is effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water."
• "Salt is vital for sleep regulation."
• "Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics. It helps balance the sugar levels in the blood and reduces the need for (injected) insulin."
• "Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in all of the cells of the body."
• "Salt is vital to the communication and information processing of nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death."
• "Salt is essential for the absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract."
• "Salt is vital for clearing the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma, emphysema and cystic fibrosis sufferers."
• "Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs."
• "Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and sinus congestion."
• "Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis."
• "Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps."
• "Osteoporosis, in a major way, is the result of salt and water shortage in the body."
• "Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm."
• "Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido."
• "Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs."

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, M.D., "As a rule of thumb, you need about 3 grams of salt - a half teaspoon - for every 10 glasses of water, or a quarter teaspoon per quart of water." (Place a few grains on your tongue after each glass of water.) Those in heart failure - or kidney failure needing dialysis - MUST consult their doctors before increasing their salt intake. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt... has been stripped of its companion elements and contains addictive elements such as aluminum cilicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.

Chemical Analysis

The following is partial chemical analysis carried out by the University of Bordeaux:

Energy Measurement

Energy levels are measured on a scale of 1 to 10.

Le Paludier, fine ground - 9.5
Le Paludier, coarse - 10

Remember, your body strives for quality. When given the opportunity, it always upgrades to newer and better.
