- Salt is vital for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Cancer must live in a low-oxygen environment. In a well-hydrated body, salt expands the volume of blood circulation to reach all parts of the body where oxygen and the immune cells in the blood can reach the cancerous tissue and destroy it.
- Salt is vital for maintaining muscle tone and strength. Lack of bladder control is indicator of low salt intake.
- Salt is effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats
- Salt is essential for the regulation of blood pressure – in conjunction with water. Low-salt with high water intake will in some people actually cause blood pressure to rise. If you drink water and do not take salt, the water will not stay in the blood circulation adequately to completely fill all the blood vessels. This can cause fainting, tightening of the arteries (rise in blood pressure) , constriction of bronchioles in the lunges (breathlessness) To quiet a racing and “thumping” heart, Take one or two glasses of water and a little salt on the tongue

- Salt is vital 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 . Also Catarrh and sinus congestion

Ordinary table salt has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additives such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous.

Aluminum is toxic to the nervous system and is implicate as one of the primary causes of alzheimers.
