Because the salt manufacturers have taken the inorganic minerals, either from an earth or ocean source, cooked them at very high temperatures, and removed during processing ALL the naturally occurring trace minerals except for sodium and chloride. Now the body needs naturally occurring organic sodium as found in raw fruits and vegetables. The average person takes into his or her body 4,000 to 6,000 mg of sodium chloride each day, while heavy users may ingest as much as 10,000 mg in a day. A quarter of a teaspoon of salt contains 534 mg, and if we use the above figures of 4,000 to 10,000 mg of table salt per person per day, the average person can be consuming more than one-third of an ounce of sodium chloride daily. Potassium is the active ion inside the cell's membrane while sodium is on the outside of the cell's membrane in the extracellular fluid.
Water follows the sodium into the tissues. . . .
Dead cells create stress and must be removed. Organic foods are naturally high in potassium and low in sodium. . . .
