Salts & Minerals

Recommended in the Weston A. Price Foundation's 2011 Shopping Guide - Ranked in the BEST Category!

Modern conventional salt is refined and highly heated, which robs it of its natural minerals and trace elements while fusing sodium and chloride into a toxic mixture that poisons our bodies. Celtic Sea Salt is harvested from the ocean off Brittany, France in an age-old tradition. Never refined, Celtic Sea Salt provides the body with needed natural sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, and such trace elements as silver, zinc, selenium, and manganese, among many other nutrients. As a natural salt, it is an important source of sodium chloride which in small amounts is vital for good health. The Fine Ground salt is the same salt as the Light Grey, only dried at a low temperature and then finely ground. An incredible healing nutrient. Use Celtic Sea Salt - your body will thank you!

Q. What's in Celtic sea salt that I need?
A. Natural Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iodine, and trace Elements such as Silver, Zinc, Selenium, and Manganese among others.

Q. Why is Celtic salt better than table salt?
A. Regular table salt is mined for nutrients like magnesium and then sold to us as a byproduct! Table salt's sodium and chloride are fused together under high heat and pressure so those valuable nutrients become toxic and dehydrating for the body.

Q. Does it taste different than table salt?
A. Celtic salt tastes a bit less intensely salty than table salt.

Q. Won't eating any salt increase my blood pressure?
A. Many holistic doctors have observed that simply adding Celtic salt to a person's diet will help normalize their high blood pressure. (Tom Cowan, MD, San Francisco in particular)

Q. How is this salt produced?
A. SaIt is harvested from the ocean off Brittany, France in an age-old tradition. It is never refined.

Q. How is it different than other sea salts?
A. Many sea salts claim to be natural and unprocessed, but in fact are stripped of valuable nutrients.

Q. Can I use a standard salt mill for Celtic Sea Salt Coarse Light Grey?
A. Do to the moisture in this high quality sea salt, a standard grinder with metal components will corrode and should not be used. Out Ceramic Salt Mill (4356/7) is ceramic and won't corrode.

Our 100% pure gelatin is produced from US Grade A cows tested negative for BSE/mad cow disease. Used for years by Dr. Jensen with his patients, this gelatin can be added to stocks to thicken, and will assist in the digestion of all foods. One level tablespoonful will gel one pint of liquid. The highest grade of gelatin available!

14 oz. powder. 26 servings per container. Recommended serving size 1 Tbsp.

Q. What does it taste like?
A. It adds no flavor to your favorite foods or drinks.

Q. Is it organic?
A. This gelatin is produced from the highest quality cows tested for mad cow disease. The cows have been primarily grass fed. This gelatin is processed in a way that virtually eliminates formation of glutamic acid/MSG by-products. Recommended by Sally Fallon.

Q. Is it Certified Kosher?
A. Yes!

Q. How do I use it?
A. Recommended uses include thickening soups, sauces, and stews or added to smoothies. Gelatin will absorb liquid from whatever it is added to, having a thickening effect.

Q. How does it help digestion?
A. When eaten with cooked foods, gelatin has the effect (through its hydrophillic colloids) of drawing digestive fluids into the food thereby enhancing the digestive process. Cooked foods by themselves tend to repel the digestive fluids.

Q. Does it require refrigeration?
A. No.

Q. How long will it last?
A. Approximately one year.

Q. What part of the cow is the gelatin made from?
A. It is a proprietary "B Blend" made from primarily hide, with some bone.

Q. Is it heated during processing?
A. Yes, to slightly below boiling.

Q. Are there any health benefits?
A. It is a good source of protein and contains 20 of the 22 amino acids.

Coral Legend is a natural mineral powder made from coral harvested from the clear ocean bottom off beautiful, semi-tropical Japanese islands. Because the coral ingests a large spectrum of natural, sun-radiated minerals from the ocean water, the powder made from the coral contains a rich concentration of these naturally-occuring minerals in a unique, ionized, highly assimilable form.

The body must reduce any form of calcium into its ionic form in order to use it. Since Coral Legend contains calcium already in ionic form, the body can use the calcium immediately without having to break it down. (Great news for those with poor digestion.) A key role of ionic calcium is to neutralize acidic compounds anywhere in the body, before damage takes place. Coral Legend is naturally balanced with ionic magnesium and many trace minerals for optimal mineral absorption. Unlike many other coral supplements on the market, this one has nothing added, and has no preservatives, fillers, or binders - Just pure marine-grade coral.

1/4 teaspoon contains: 300 mg Calcium, 150 mg Magnesium plus many trace minerals

pH and Mineral Absorption: One Key to Great Health

If your body is acidic, it becomes harder and harder for you to absorb nutrients. The key is to establish the proper acid/alkaline balance in your body. An acidic pH creates a hostile internal environment, like a raging storm, making the body struggle to get the nutrients it needs. The more acidic you are, the worse you will most likely feel. Feeling lousy, pessimistic, angry, irritable, and fatigued are often symptoms of an acid system. As your pH comes into balance your body can easily assimilate minerals that were very difficult to absorb at a more acidic pH. And you'll feel better too!

Coral Legend Helps You Alkalinize
In an alkaline environment, you have abundant oxygen. But as the pH of the blood and urine drops, becoming more acidic, less and less oxygen is available to the tissues. Small changes of 0.1 to 0.2 in pH can mean 10 to 20 times more oxygen availability. Ionized calcium is the key mineral to help keep the pH near ideal. Coral Legend excels at alkalinizing your body over any other form of calcium!

Vitamin D Completes the Picture
Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is another important part of the mineral absorption equation, as it is rich in natural vitamin D, an absolute requirement for absorbing calcium. Dr. Weston Price found that the healthiest non-industrialized peoples around the world consumed 10 times more fat-soluble vitamins (i.e. A & D) than Americans. He attributed their superior bone structures, perfect teeth, and well-formed features to this fact.

The Story Behind Coral Calcium

The 115 Year Old Man
In 1979, a British journalist made a great discovery when he was given the unusual assignment of interviewing one of the oldest documented living people in the world, Mr. Shigechiyo Izumi. Mr. Izumi was a sprightly 115 year old man in amazingly good health who lived on an island off the coast of Japan. He appeared to be active and alert, as spry as a healthy 70 year old. The journalist noticed most of the other inhabitants on the island were also in great health and seldom died before age 95! So intriguing were these people that researchers came to investigate.

What Was Their Secret of Youth?
Researchers found the water the islanders drank was uniquely different. It contained unique, ionized minerals leached from coral on which the island was built. These dissolved minerals made the water highly alkaline. When drunk, it helped the body keep a superior acid/alkaline balance. The highly mineralized "coral" water was found to be chemically very similar to essential elements found in the human skeleton, body fluids, blood and amniotic fluid. The researchers also discovered that the "coral" water could neutralize waste products if present in the water, such as bacteria, heavy metals, fluoride, and chloroform.

Grinding coarse, moist salt requires special equipment, because any metal in the grinder would quickly corrode. This grinder has an attractive design with a glass base and a heavy duty ceramic grinder mechanism. Choose white top, or black top - or both for grinding salt and pepper.
