Re: what about sea salt?

It is a good question, as we all eat salts in some form or another, frequently. But, a distinction must be kept in mind, between what price considered as minerals, e.g., calcium, magnesium and the other components of salt.

Salt contains positive ions and negative ions, when dissolved in water, such as in the body. Common salt is predominantly sodium chloride, and sodium is well known to be the body's main extra-cellular (existing outside the cells) electrolyte, and there is little doubt that sodium from common salt is taken up into the bloodstream, and makes its way to the lymph, kidneys, etc. But I wouldn't consider sodium to be a mineral in the same category as the others, Ca, Mg, since the mechanism for their assimilation into the body is different from sodium, which is special. That's my read at least. In the end, I just acquiesce to Price's wisdom, based on his long record of successes.

People often feel better after eating certain salts of the sea, such as Celtic Sea Salt . The benefits of these materials may likely be due to the presence of negative ions, such as the Iodide and bromides present. It is well known that 1/3 of the world population is deficient in Iodine and based on this alone, one would alleviate symptoms of disease in many cases by supplementing with Iodine alone. So, with salt, I would suggest that the benefits reported by many are not the result of the presence of alkaline minerals, since even Sea Salt is over 99% NaCl, but is due in many cases to the presence of the negatively charged anions, Iodide and bromide. In the end, I defer to Price's wisdom asnd long record of phenomenal successes.
