This is the article I found which may explain it, after I started looking into this, Justhear...

Then I saw some material criticizing the authors of the book. I reasoned, for myself, that anyone may stumble across a good thing, even if they stand on one leg and eat birdseed for breakfast.

:D


Also, I was shown how osmosis works by a kidney dialysis patient, many years ago.

If you have two adjoining sinks of water, one 'salty', and the other not, and you put a pinhole between them below the waterlines, by morning both containers of water will be equally 'salty'.

Apparently, that's how kidney dialysis machines work on the blood...through pinholes. ...And through the natural characteristic of water, which wants to equalize its contents, both sides of a microscopic opening.

Skin has microscopic openings. ...And, at least two forms of water inside...

...The water INSIDE THE CELLS, and,

...The water AROUND THE CELLS.



I figure that the water INSIDE THE CELLS must be as near perfect as it can get, else we'd keel over.

And, the water AROUND THE CELLS must be the water that carries toxins and the wastes of combustion away...(the wastes from the burning of oxygen and nutrients for activity, and more).


One person (I forget who) said that, if the water AROUND THE CELLS becomes too toxic that the body will split open cells to dump the perfect water INSIDE into the water AROUND THE CELLS, to dilute it.

That sounds like a radical move, to me, until I remember that the body has trillions and trillions of cells, and is making more every day.

The miracle, to my mind, is that our bodies know how to keep the water and mineral salts inside every cell, pure and in perfect balance.


Then, when we take a swim in CLEAN ocean water, osmosis responds to the CLEAN and perfectly mineral-balanced water inside the cells and balances the water around the the cells, for each and every mineral, individually...without us having to 'calculate' anything beyond the 1% solution!


This is going on all the time. Put our hands in dishwater, and we change the chemical composition of our bodies. Shave, and the lather does the same thing.

Luckily, the system is so active and powerful that we can get away with a lot of indiscretions without noticing the penalties...until we are weak, and on the brink of collapse.

That's how I see it, anyway.


The crystal mineral salts I found in my health food store came from http://www.heartfeltliving.com I like them.


All I did, finally, was dump a 1 kg (2.2 pounds) boxful of the finest grind into our average-sized bathtub of water, and get in, for 20 to 30 minutes.

I took a cloth and kept every inch of my body wet, for the duration, because bathtubs aren't big enough to sink the whole body, as you likely know. Pictures of pretty girls bathing are hogwash because they don't show the knees, etc., sticking out of real bathtubs.

Then there are the incidents where a toe gets stuck in the spout, which is a whole other story. Betcha those victims are shy of paramedics and plumbers for the rest of their lives!


I didn't say that the granules of crystal mineral salts don't all dissolve immediately...they don't. They will, eventually, but not in 20 to 30 minutes. I had to sit on the undissolved ones, but I didn't really feel them...except under my knees when performing my manuever to get out of the tub...a sight to behold. I used the washcloth for a cushion.

Dh was smarter than I...he dissoved his, first, in some hot water, then added a lightly warm bath. A person could start the melting process in a bucket, in the morning.

Apparently, we can use only three or four large handfuls of the mineral salts, for follow-up 'maintenance' baths, but I figure the 1% solution is best...just my preference.

Also, apparently, the solution is sterile, meaning that no one is going to 'catch' anything from your bath, even if you didn't wash out the tub.

If you can, direct the drain into the garden...plants love this concentration.

That suggestion made me think of setting up a tub on the back lawn, and letting the sun warm the water as desired! But no one throws away those pretty shaped stand-alone tubs. Sigh.

(Agatha Christie wrote in hers, with a little table across, and a bowl of apples. Don't know what she did about 'pruniness'.)

These baths don't hurt the plumbing. We put a lot of funnier things down there. I like to think that I'm helping the city's waste water. Grin.


Oh yes, I tried to go into this bath, clean. I took a shower first, washing everything with a minimum of soap...or 'organic' shampoo. I even washed my hair, thinking that I'd sink my hair and face, too...just in case.

A skin-brushing, beforehand, would be a wise move.


Then there's the lady whose cat knocked a bottle of alfalfa tablets into her bath...causing her all kinds of benefical effects.

A person could chop some alfalfa and bathe with it, I suppose...saving the price of tablets. I know there's a wild herb in the Bahamas, used in a soothing/healing bath, and recommended by bush medicine people. One needs only a few leaves, they say.

Clay baths, of many different kinds, must be similar to the mineral salts bath.

I remember that daring boys used to slide down a deposit of blue clay, into the river swimming place. Bet they still do that!

Instincts are great things...better even than 'thinking', sometimes, I think.

My best,

Fledgling

Did I mention that I think whole, clean, mineral salts are most helpful because they have been selected and balanced through plants?

Mineral salts don't deteriorate over time, like vitamins and enzymes and other living things. So, even if the deposits of mineral salts were laid down by evaporating oceans, 250,000,000 years ago, the balance achieved by zillions of ocean plants is still there.

A very long time ago I read that plants are smart...they will only take up exactly what they need of each and every mineral available.

There are a powerful lot of minerals available in oceans...even back then...and we hadn't yet thought of mixing substances called chemicals, then dumping any wastes into oceans, as fast as we can.

Writing this stuff, I am reminding myself of what I have figured out, for me, so far.

My thinking always seems to come back to the simple, somehow. I figure that's good, otherwise I'd forget.

:D
