as far as I know, salt per se is neutral. That is, it's not acidic. I do not know what effect it will have after it gets into your body.

Salt can certainly kill germs or suppress germs at a high concentration. Pickling is a way to preserve veggies, but it wont work against 100% bacteria. Some bacteria might survive even at relatively high concentration of salt.

Hi there,

Yes you are better off with Sea Salt , as it is more natural and less refined. If you are based in the USA, try RealSalt which is even more so. Unfortunately we cant get it in the UK just yet, but hopeful for the new year!

Celtic Sea Salt is linked to healthy immune and adrenal function.
Some people find that adding Celtic Sea Salt to their diets helps to re-establish proper regulation of bodily fluids. According to Dr. Esteban Genoa, a Miami physician, “a lot of people are not overweight because of excess body fat; they are overweight because of excessive bodily fluids. This type of person may go on a starvation diet and gain weight. These people are mineral depleted, and are unable to maintain homeostasis (the process by which an organism regulates internal conditions in the face of a changing external environment). These people will benefit from adding the right salt to their foods because their kidneys are not working correctly, the water exchange between the body's organs, as well as between the extra cellular fluid and the intracellular fluid, does not flow properly. These people are not moving fluid through the system, they are water intoxicated, and they are really going to benefit form the proper salt. In addition, a person with this sort of weight problem should limit carbohydrates.”

These along with the findings that a balance of sodium and other minerals may actually lower blood pressure are evidence that sodium’s role in our diets is as important as any other mineral or vitamin.

Today’s table salt is 98% sodium chloride- no trace minerals, no natural balance.
Celtic Sea Salt contains over 80 essential minerals and trace elements, which are very similar to that of our blood. Its alkalizing quality helps to balance an acidic condition as well as acid-forming foods such as meats, legumes, fruits and grains, and allows the body to easily digest them..
Given the latest health findings that a balance of minerals is the healthiest choice, it makes good sense to switch to natural salts which contain magnesium and potassium. Not only do these salts promote good health, they also taste better. The metamorphosis of sea water into salt allows sea salt to keep all of its essential components, thus the benefits and flavor of the minerals that typical table salt is lacking.

Dr. Bernard Jensen , author of Come Alive, stated, “All cellular structures become alive through electrolytic activity. Life begins with electrolytes. Trace minerals carry the life force in our bodies more than any other substance.”

Mineral salts create electrolytes. Electrolytes, often called the spark of life, are what carry the electrical currents throughout our bodies- sending messages to the cells in all of the different systems. Electrolytes are also necessary for enzyme production. Enzymes are responsible for breaking down food, for absorbing nutrients, muscle function, hormone production and more. Our biological need for salt that contains a balance of naturally occurring minerals and trace elements is very real. These minerals must be replenished regularly in order to maintain health.

After years of promoting what may be unhealthy low levels of sodium, Science may soon prove that it is a diet with a balance of mineral salts that is the answer. Eating a diet with a balance of sodium, magnesium and potassium may actually help to lower blood pressure and promote good health. Sodium, potassium and magnesium help to regulate fluid balance in the body and allow nutrients and oxygen to travel to their necessary destinations within the body.

table salt is acidic. good grey Sea Salt is alkaline. It's the minerals in it that make it alkaline, I think.

Try the grey damp Sea Salt from the Brittany region in France. You should be able to get it in the US for about $5/lb.
