salt can be addicting
betaman
The table salt that I eat, creates a need for more salt.
The more table salt I eat, the more salt I want to eat.
It is a cycle that feeds on itself, with deadly consequences.
That is why I call salt an addiction; it fits the rawtimes definition.
There is a solution. I found one that works for me. I stopped eating
table salt, and instead, like deer at a salt lick, I have a block of
real salt that I lick. Sometimes the salt will taste good to me.
Sometimes I brush a sliver of salt along the lower underside of my
tongue, where the salt taste buds predominate, so I may experience the
sensations to the fullest. And like all instinctive eating, I know
when I have had enough. I stop eating when it no longer appeals to me.
It can happen after a few licks or a few minutes. But I am confident
that my tastes are clear and true.
My gift to you: Your first taste is free and only for the next 1000
rawtimes.com web surfers. You may try the Himalayan salt, and if there
is a call for it, I will sell it in quantities of 5 to 10 pounds. But
for now, I will send you a small 1 or 2 ounce block that you can lick
for a week or a month for no charge, except your feedback. You can try
it and see for yourself. Just goto rawtimes.com, sign the guestbook
with your request, and i will email you back and ask for an address to
send it to.
The salt you will get comes from underground caves in the Himalayan
mountains. They have become exposed after fault realignments enabled
mining. These ancient reserves of naturally dried full spectrum
minerals are truly a precious resource. Many have an absolutely
beautiful pink translucent hue, indicative of the abundance of
exquisite nutrients.
With table salt, my tastes and desires become perverted as I eat more
salt to satisfy this self perpetuating and addictive craving. They are
obviously perverted because I don't really need table salt. I need
something else: a natural balance of minerals. Table salt is almost
pure sodium and chorine. A sustained diet of table salt, will alter
the natural electrolyte balance in my body by introducing a critically
dangerous amount of sodium. My metabolism will require other minerals
to offset and process this ridiculous abundance of sodium. (I can't
even speculate on the exact waste of what little bone calcium I have
left to spare after processing my previous surpluses of proteins and
other blood acids.) So my taste for salt will increase because I need
more minerals. As my taste perceptions become perverted, I will have
little chance of differentiating between table salt and foods that are
more naturally salted with a healthy spectrum of minerals. (I may also
speculate that the sodium and magnesium balance becomes so skewed as
to account for my noticeably more nervous demeanor, as the neural body
cyton flow environments are unilaterally compromised.)
Table salt is cheap, and it sells good because it increases desire for
more salt, since the table salt is incomplete. The more I eat, the
more I need. The more I eat, the more I starve. The more I eat, the
sicker I get. Its perfect for people that sell salt, and deadly for
me.
Salt enables me to exhibit the same addicting behavior as other more
famous addictive patterns. The more heroin I shoot, the more heroin I
want to shoot, and the sicker I get. The more money I make, the more
money I want to make, which interferes with sharing and loving. The
more I hate, the more I have to hate. And as a society, the more that
personal freedoms and privacy are disregarded, the more they have to
be disregarded. Addiction is hardly a good thing. What starts as an
unfortunate temporary compromising solution; what starts out seeming
to be the best choice of the moment; unchecked; will result in an
avalanche of accompanying problems.
The state tells me that salt is bad for me. Doctors say it will kill
me. Nutritionists advice against eating too much salt. But no one
tells me the truth, because there is no money in it. But salt is not
bad for me, just table salt. The pure crystallized white powder that
has been cooked and extracted with potent solvents; has become a fda
certified food grade analytically pure chemical, with only a phantom
relationship to its old foodstuff qualities and benefits. I shutter to
think what slug they start out with, to finally extract this clean
poison. It should be inedible, but my body can be fooled by table
salt, just like it can be fooled into thinking that chocolate
cheesecake is what I also need.
Instinctive eating may include salt licks. And like all raw foods,
unless processed, mixed, cooked or spoiled, if it takes good, chances
are, its good for me. With only five major groups of taste receptors,
mineral salts account for a significant amount of influence on my
diet. Plants containing a full spectrum of minerals will appeal to me,
it indicates a healthy environment and a vital plant.
I am an expert in addiction: namely the definition, the cause, the
problem and the solution. My credentials include 6 years of daily
intravenous heroin use, followed by years of morbid obesity, finally
reaching 300 pounds. In addition to personal experience, I have
discussed the personal issues of thousands of addicts within 12 step
meetings. But everyone who has felt the rampages of addiction is not
an expert like me. What uniquely qualifies me is that I recovering.
Today I weight 190 pounds, I go to the gym everyday, and I am all raw.
And to wit, not my smallest credential; I am not certified in any way
by the state in nutrition, medicine or any type of consulting. You may
rest assured, my perspective has not been polluted by an requirement
to adhere to the conventions or protocols of the state.
Nevertheless, I feel it necessary to make this disclaimer. I will not
take responsibility for your health, I will only take responsibility
for mailing you authentic Himalayan salt. I you want someone else to
take responsibility for your health, go to a doctor and drop dead.

How much of these "natural balance of minerals" exist; please list
individual minerals and their amounts, in say, % of the total.

Both elemental Na and Cl2 are highly poisonous; Cl2 was used for gas
warfare in WWI.
Table salt, and "sea salt" are composed of sodium and chlorine IONS; Na+
and Cl-. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

So does "sea salt" and magic Himalayan salt. It is all the same
compound, ancient evaporated sea water, except for microscopic amounts of
other minerals.

What other minerals, and how did you determine this?

Balance does not apply.

How did you determine this, and what does it mean?

It is complete according the Laws of Nature. What is missing?

Salt is salt IS salt; there is no meaningful chemical difference between
the various snob-salts, other than the advertising hype.

Provide proof of the use of "potent solvents'. Which ones?

References?

List these, with ample scientifically credible references.
> Instinctive eating may include salt licks.
No, it does not. All surface salt has long ago been dissolved and
carried into the Earth by rain. No dry salt can exist on the surface,
except in deserts -- Bonneville salt flats; and human food does not grow in
deserts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonneville_Salt_Flats

How do you measure these, or detect them; since they exist in quantities
so small that the human can not taste them.

There are addictive PERSONALITIES; drugs are not "addictive", because IF
they were, EVERYone who tries them would be "addicted".
What percentage of casual smackers actually get "addicted"?

Good work, you traded heroin addiction for food addiction; but, both are
attempts to hide from internal processes that you want to avoid.
