pure, unrefined salt. My favorite is an ancient, all-natural sea salt from the Himalayas. Himalayan salt is
completely pure, having spent many thousands of years maturing under extreme tectonic pressure, far
away from impurities, so it isn?t p olluted with the heavy metals and industrial toxins of today. And it?s
hand-mined, hand-washed, and minimally processed. Himalayan salt is only 85 percent sodium chloride,
the remaining 15 percent contains 84 trace minerals from our prehistoric seas. Unrefined natural salt is
important to many biological processes, including:
Being a major component of your blood plasma, lymphatic fluid, extracellular fluid, and even amniotic
fluidCarrying nutrients into and out of your cellsMaintain and regulate blood pressureIncreasing the glial
cells in your brain, which are responsible for creative thinking and long-term planningHelping your brain
communicate with your muscles, so that you can move on demand via sodium-potassium ion exchange
While natural unprocessed salt has many health benefits, that does not mean you should use it with
impunity. Another important factor is the potassium to sodium ratio of your diet. Imbalance in this ratio
can not only lead to hypertension (high blood pressure) and other health problems, including heart
disease, memory decline, erectile dysfunction and more. The easiest way to avoid this imbalance is by
avoiding processed foods, which are notoriously low in potassium while high in sodium. Instead, eat a diet
of whole, ideally organically-grown foods to ensure optimal nutrient content. This type of diet will
naturally provide much larger amounts of potassium in relation to sodium.

Sadly, most of what you have been led to believe by the media about soy is
simply untrue. One of the worst problems with soy comes from the fact that
90 to 95 percent of soybeans grown in the US are genetically engineered
(GE), and these are used to create soy protein isolate. Genetically
engineered soybeans are designed to be ?Roundup ready,? which means
they?re engineered to withstand otherwise lethal doses of herbicide.
The active ingredient in Roundup herbicide is called glyphosate, which is responsible for the disruption of
the delicate hormonal balance of the female reproductive cycle. What?s more, glyphosate is toxic to the
placenta, which is responsible for delivering vital nutrients from mother to child, and eliminating waste
products. Once the placenta has been damaged or destroyed, the result can be miscarriage. In those
children born to mothers who have been exposed to even a small amount of glyphosate, serious birth
defects can result.
Glyphosate?s mechanism of harm was only recently identified, and demonstrates how this chemical
disrupts cellular function and induce many of our modern diseases, including autism. Soy protein isolate
can be found in protein bars, meal replacement shakes, bottled fruit drinks, soups and sauces, meat
analogs, baked goods, breakfast cereals and some dietary supplements.
Even if you are not a vegetarian and do not use soymilk or tofu, it is important to be a serious label reader.
There are so many different names for soy additives, you could be bringing home a genetically modified
soy-based product without even realizing it. Soy expert Dr. Kaayla Daniel offers a free Special Report7,
?Where the Soys Are,? on her Web site. It lists the many ?aliases? that soy might be hiding under in
ingredient lists ? words like ?bouillon,? ?natural flavor? and ?textured plant protein.?
Besides soy protein isolate, ALL unfermented soy products are best avoided if you value your health.
Thousands of studies have linked unfermented soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system
breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility? even cancer
and heart disease.
