Understanding Salt: The Misunderstood Nutrient
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is
ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third,
it is accepted as being self-evident.”
Arthur Shopenhauer,
German Philosopher
(1788-1860)
Salt is an essential dietary nutrient. Without it, life itself
would not be possible since all living things utilize salt.
Even the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (450 BC),
known as the father of medicine, recognized the healing
potential of salt. However, there is a major difference
between refined table salt and unrefined salt, which is
important to understand if you want to take advantage of
the many ways salt can improve your health.
Salt in its natural form is referred to as “unrefined” salt,
which has not been altered by man. A few examples of
this type of salt include Celtic sea salt, Pink Himalayan
salt and Redmond unrefined sea salt. These types of salt
contain over 80 essential minerals and natural elements
that are necessary for good health. Unrefined salt is a
whole food product that supplies the body with the
proper balance of sodium, chloride, minerals, trace
elements and moisture, but it should be noted that it is
not an appreciable source of iodine.
Adding the right type of salt to your diet can help with blood pressure,
cholesterol, fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, stress disorders, thyroid
problems and immune system function. It helps with sinus and respiratory
health and can promote bone strength and vascular health. In combination
with water, it is essential for regulating your blood pressure. Unrefined salt
can also help with detoxification of various harmful chemicals from the body
including bromine, a toxic element that is increasing in our food supply.
Bromine robs the body of iodine, a critical nutrient for the prevention of
thyroid disorders and breast cancer. Bromine is found in most commercial
bakery products (breads, cookies, cakes), some carbonated drinks
(Mountain Dew and Gatorade), non-organic produce (pesticides), and
many medications. It is also used as an antibacterial agent for pools and hot
tubs as well as a fumigant for termites.
So what about low-salt diets? Conventional medical practitioners commonly
recommend low-salt diets for those with high blood pressure. However, there
is not much data to support low-salt diets for treating hypertension,
especially since most studies did not look at unrefined salt and its impact on
blood pressure. In fact, only a small minority of people will see a lower blood
pressure from a low-salt diet. Many also experience a drop in energy level as
well as hormonal and immune system imbalances on a low-salt diet. It is
Common table salt is “refined” and consists of two main precisely the minerals contained in unrefined salt that are helpful for

What is Regional Hyperthermia?
Regional hyperthermia is an example of an anti-cancer therapy, which involves
exposing the body tissue to high temperatures (up to 113°F). Research shows that
high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells with minimal injury to normal
tissues. Tumors do not tolerate temperatures over 41° centigrade (105.8 degrees
Fahrenheit) so when the tumor material is heated, it can cause its metabolism to
break down, damaging proteins and structures within the cell. The metabolism of
tumor cells is different than that of healthy cells, making them an excellent target for
regional hyperthermia.
Regional hyperthermia has been used in Germany for decades as standard cancer
therapy that works alongside conventional radiation and chemotherapy
treatments. This therapy can increase survival times and has been acknowledged
by The National Cancer Institute for its ability to shrink tumors. At Sanoviv, we have
one of only three regional hyperthermia machines in all of North America and use
this therapy is used in combination with other modalities such as high dose vitamin
C, curcumin, hyperbaric oxygen, and orthomolecular medicine.
