To Understand
Common Salt
and
Cluster Salt
❖
Most common salts, such as sea salt and Himalayan salt, are problematic and can cause dehydration and inflammation,
while the "sodium cluster salts" found in the hydrobioactive water of celery stalk juice are different and beneficial.
These specific salts in celery juice can bind to toxins, flush them out of the body, and kill pathogenic microorganisms,
unlike refined or food-grade salts, which have no detoxifying properties.
Types of Salts
1. Food-grade salts (sea salt, Himalayan salt, etc.):
These salts, while containing minerals, prevent the body from cleansing itself. They can cause dehydration, lead to edema, and worsen symptoms like inflammation and weight retention.
2. Sodium cluster salts (in celery juice):
These are special varieties of sodium suspended in the water of celery stalk juice.
They are called "cluster salts" because they surround and bind to sodium.
How Sodium Cluster Salts Work
Bind to toxins:
These salts are a crucial component in flushing toxins out of the body.
Destroy pathogens:
They have the ability to destroy harmful microorganisms by breaking down the protective cell sheaths around them.
Nourish the body:
When consumed through foods like celery juice, these naturally occurring mineral salts deeply nourish the body.
Why the Distinction is Important
Detoxification vs. Dehydration:
Unlike food-grade salts, which can contribute to dehydration,
the sodium cluster salts in celery juice actively promote detoxification.
Adrenal Support:
A diet rich in naturally occurring mineral salts from foods
like celery juice,
leafy greens,
and fruits
can help revitalize and protect the adrenal glands.
Key Takeaway
The sodium in celery juice is not the same as the salt you add to your food.
The complex mineral salts within celery are a powerful,
naturally occurring herbal medicine with distinct benefits for health and detoxification.

You need enough trace minerals in your brain to light the electrical grid and create continuity of that electrical grid so your brain is functioning at its optimum level.
The trend today is to say you can get your trace minerals if you put a pinch of sea salt in your water.
That’s not going to do the job.
That’s not going to get you the trace minerals you need.
Your mineral salts have to come
from leafy greens
such as spinach,
celery juice,
and even lemons.
How do trace mineral salts work in the brain?
What are they doing?
First, it’s important to know that neurotransmitter chemicals sit on neurons and send out a signal and frequency throughout the brain and outside our body.
That frequency connects above throughout the universe.
Neurotransmitter chemicals are a bridge between neurons in the brain and what’s above us in the atmosphere, behind the stars.
Trace minerals are not just physical, tangible minerals. They have a Godly presence.
Trace minerals have connected to everything above us, beyond the earth.
Our atmosphere is filled with trace minerals. Outer space is filled with trace minerals.
Trace minerals can be dead,
or trace minerals can be alive and active.
The frequencies and signals that come down from the universe on the bridge that neurotransmitter chemicals are extending stimulate, activate, and ignite trace minerals inside our brain into life, giving them an order and direction: to directly attach themselves to neurons and restore neurotransmitter chemicals.
When trace minerals come from plant foods and enter into our bloodstream,
they start picking up on the frequency between our brain and above,
and the trace minerals become activated.
These trace minerals from plant foods already sustain life. They’re living.
Yet a new level of living activity occurs. They become supercharged and stay alive and active, versus dissipating and dying.
They’re now more than just living minerals, and they have a greater purpose.
The living trace minerals are floating around our bloodstream looking for a place to land.
They’re directed with the frequency above and have an intelligence.
FAT ...
Both fat in the bloodstream and fatty deposits that should not be in the brain diminish the oxygen that’s trying to reach brain cells.
Fat in the bloodstream and fatty brain deposits
also impede mineral salts from entering brain cells.
In reality, fats hold on to trace mineral salts,
blocking brain cells and neurotransmitters from absorbing them.

and thrives on (and what to avoid) in

Celery’s Natural Sodium
Draws
Toxic Salts Out of the Body
❖
https://www.kindness2.com/celery-juice.html
❖
The natural healthy sodium in celery juice clings to toxic, dangerous salts from poor-quality foods and helps bind onto and draw them out of the body while replacing them with special undiscovered cluster salts the body really needs.
These cluster salts bond together as one and are infused with celery’s other critical chemical compounds and information that’s highly active in healing the body. Science has not yet deconstructed or studied these cluster salts.
Eventually, research will reveal that these cluster salts work symbiotically and systematically to flush out toxins, dead pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, and pathogenic neurotoxins and debris from every crevice of the body.
If you’re worried that the sodium in celery is a problem because you’ve heard that “salt is salt,” know that the sodium in celery is not just salt or the basic mineral sodium. Medical research and science have not yet discovered the different varieties of sodium in celery, nor how beneficial they are.
Celery’s naturally occurring sodium actually helps stabilize blood pressure, bringing it down when it’s too high and up when it’s too low. Further, it won’t dehydrate your organs.

How much water do you drink each day?
How many fresh, raw fruits and vegetables do you consume?
These are just a couple questions that can help you evaluate how hydrated or dehydrated you might be.
The majority of people today are chronically dehydrated, even if they don’t realize it or even feel thirsty.
One reason for this problem is the dehydrating effect of toxins and poisons, including heavy metals, radiation, viruses, and DDT.
Read more about these in Life-Changing Foods.
Combine that with the food, drink, and lifestyle choices many people make and you have a recipe for chronic dehydration.
This article will explain why it’s vital to stay hydrated and teach you simple ways to reverse chronic dehydration and its negative effects.
How Thick Is Your Blood?
One of the reasons you want to stay hydrated is that if you reach a certain level of dehydration, your blood can thicken. Once you develop thick blood, it becomes much more challenging for your heart to draw up fresh, clean blood from the liver. The heart may also have greater difficulty providing the brain and other organs with adequate blood and oxygen. Over time, this continuous exertion can prematurely wear out the heart.
In addition, thick blood may set you up for major health issues, including a stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), heart attack, liver problems, kidney problems, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The risk of cancer is considerably greater for people with thick blood because there’s less oxygen circulating throughout the body, making it harder for the body to detoxify. As someone with thick blood ages, the risk of more health problems increases.
A person with thick blood may not reap the benefits of a detox protocol or exercise routine because thick blood makes it harder for the body to flush out toxins. Even someone who appears to be in amazing shape can still have thick blood and a highly-acidic system.
These hidden issues can easily lead to a stroke or heart attack in even the most fit-looking individual. In contrast, someone that doesn’t appear extraordinarily fit, but manages to keep his or her blood thin and body hydrated through a nourishing diet and positive lifestyle choices may not be as likely to suffer from the health issues associated with thick blood.
Some people enter the world with thick blood, while others develop it throughout their lifetime. As a person’s body grows more dehydrated, his or her blood will continue to thicken.

in Liver Rescue:
Answers to Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Strep, Acne, Gout, Bloating, Gallstones, Adrenal Stress, Fatigue, Fatty Liver, Weight Issues, SIBO & Autoimmune Disease.
High-Fat Diets
Although high-fat diets have become increasingly trendy, they don’t provide your body with the hydration it needs to thrive. If you follow a high-protein diet, you’re likely consuming an abundance of fat in the form of animal products and/or plant fats. By eating this way, you can quickly grow dehydrated and begin to develop thick blood.
Any hydration you do receive while following such a diet won’t be able to counteract the effects of a high-fat, high-protein diet. Lower fat and protein consumption from both animal and plant sources to help prevent chronic dehydration.
Read Liver Rescue
for guidance on how much fat to eat and from which sources. You can also listen to my podcast on the ketogenic diet.
Our Dehydrated Lineage
You may be surprised to learn that we come from a dehydrated lineage. Medical and alternative health communities are not aware of this. Widespread chronic dehydration that affected our forefathers continues to be passed from generation to generation. This information is not passed through our genes, but through our cells, and we acquire this knowledge and state of chronic dehydration along with any inherited DDT, radiation, and mercury from our forefathers.
Dehydration & Bugs
Various bugs, such as Epstein-Barr virus, are better able to thrive and cause trouble in a body suffering from chronic dehydration and thick blood. If you’re battling a condition such as Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or MS, it’s vital to stay as hydrated as possible. Viruses are behind these and many other chronic illnesses, and staying hydrated will help your body fight the bugs. (For more about how pathogens cause illness of all kinds,
check out Thyroid Healing,
and to learn the truth about Lyme disease, read Medical Medium.
Dehydrating Beverages
Do you have coffee, soda or wine? Some people partake in all of these beverages daily, and it has become normal in many cultures to do so. Unfortunately, over time this pattern can set someone up for severe dehydration and a host of related health problems.
Even if you drink some water between your soy latte and nightly espresso, your body is still likely to suffer from dehydration. And even if you drink only one cup of coffee each morning and fill the rest of your day with glasses of water and a hydrating smoothie meal, you’re still likely to be dehydrated, and you may be on the brink of developing thick blood.
If you indulge in occasional dehydrating beverages like coffee, soda, alcoholic drinks, lattes, or iced coffee, be sure to take extra measures to stay hydrated with other food and drink choices.
The Salt Factor
It’s easy to encounter high levels of salt in the foods and meals you consume each day. Unfortunately, the salt that’s liberally sprinkled on restaurant dishes or in packaged foods isn’t the salt your body needs to function.
This type of salt may negate efforts to stay hydrated.
Adequate sodium levels in the body are critical, and the sources of this sodium can be found in foods that are rich in mineral salts, such as celery and spinach. Unlike refined salt, these foods provide your body with a health-giving sodium that doesn’t dehydrate your system.
While researchers know that there’s salt in celery, they have yet to discover all of the life-giving sodium subgroups found in this incredible food.
Read more about the healing benefits of celery
in Medical Medium Celery Juice.
Snacking on celery sticks and sodium-rich veggies is a great way to bring essential mineral salts into your diet. You can also whip up a daily bowl of spinach soup for a transformative meal that’s rich in sodium and hydration.
Cooked Food
Eating a diet that’s exclusively cooked can keep people dehydrated. Cooked foods force your body to pull liquid from different organs and cells to help break them down. This doesn’t mean cooked food is bad, but it’s helpful to balance cooked food with raw fruits and veggies. Try to figure out the ratio of raw to cooked foods that feels right for you and your body. If you aren’t up for bringing any raw foods into your diet at this time, at least try to make the healthiest food choices you can and consider bringing
lemon water into your daily routine.
For a healing meal that’s around 50% raw and 50% cooked, try:
Meals like these help people stay hydrated because the raw portion of the dish helps offset some of the cooked foods that may be slightly dehydrating.
Cooked soups can be healthy and healing in certain ways, but they don’t provide hydration.
A powerful soup to incorporate into your diet is the Healing Broth.
Although this soup can be incredibly beneficial for the body, it still doesn’t provide the body with hydration on its own. However, the broth, which is loaded with healing mineral salts, can help the body access the right kind of water from other hydrating food sources you consume. On a day where you have the healing broth, incorporate some hydrating foods, such as fresh coconut water, lemon water, cucumber juice, celery juice, a raw salad with cucumber slices, or celery sticks.
Bone Broth
Drinking bone broth is a current health fad, but incorporating this broth into your diet can be extremely dehydrating. If you want to continue to consume this liquid, it’s critical to also consume fresh juices daily. It’s also helpful to add celery juice, cucumber juice, or a green juice once or twice a day. Lemon water and a hydrating morning smoothie is also beneficial.
In addition, remove the vinegar from your bone broth recipe. There is a misconception that vinegar can extract nutrients from the bones better than a high-quality water. In actuality, high-quality water alone (never use tap water) does a better job drawing out nutrients.
Hydration for Detoxification
If you’re properly hydrated, your body can remove toxins and poisons from your liver, kidneys, and other parts of your body. Learn more about detoxification and how to recover your health
in Liver Rescue.
The Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie
is a great recipe because it contains the five key foods that draw out heavy metals, and it provides the body with the hydration needed to make total elimination of toxins possible. Other supplements or products that are advertised as heavy metal detoxifiers aren’t likely to provide the hydration needed to fully eliminate the heavy metals.
They likely won’t be made of the ingredients that successfully remove heavy metals either.
Panic, Anxiety, & Depression
If you suffer with anxiety, panic, or depression, it’s critical that you stay hydrated. If your body is dehydrated and your blood thickens, all three of these issues can worsen. If you suffer from any neurological problem or are under intense stress, hydration is critical and can really help you heal.
Gallstones
If you suffer from chronic dehydration for an extended period of time, gallstones may begin to form in your gallbladder. A high-protein diet and the elimination of fresh fruit can also contribute to the formation of gallstones. Unfortunately, you may not even become aware of gallstone issues until you’re forced to have your gallbladder removed in your mid-fifties.
Prevent this by including an abundance of fruit in your diet. Unlike high-protein diets, which allow gallstones to build up in the gallbladder, diets brimming with fresh fruits, leafy greens and vegetables can help break down and dissolve any gallstones that form.
If you enjoy animal protein but want to avoid gallstones forming, you can simply lower your animal protein while increasing fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables in your diet. If you already have gallstones and they’re causing problems, it’s best to eliminate all animal protein until the problem is addressed.
More on gallbladder health and gallstones in Liver Rescue.
Hydrating Yourself
When it comes to hydrating yourself, most people know to reach for water, but make sure it’s high-quality water. If there are traces of chlorine in the water it can be extremely dehydrating. Below are some more excellent ways to hydrate:
When it comes to staying hydrated, know that you don’t have to drown yourself in water. However, adding some water as well as certain foods in their whole and liquid form can be exceptionally valuable.
Check out some of the recipes
in Life-Changing Foods for inspiration.
Every day, I try to drink around two liters of water with lemon juice squeezed in. In addition, I’ll bring in celery juice, cucumber juice, and oftentimes 16 to 32 oz of fresh squeezed orange juice. These are just a few of the ways I try to keep myself hydrated. Each person’s needs are different. Play around with all of these suggestions and see which ideas work best for you!
Herbal Tea
Hot herbal tea isn’t hydrating, but it doesn’t dehydrate you like other beverages might, and it has a host of healing benefits. Tea can be hydrating if you make it by putting fresh herb leaves, such as peppermint or lemon balm, in a jar of water and leaving it on the countertop to steep for around 6 hours. After that, you can stick it in the fridge and drink the hydrating beverage whenever you want!
Black tea, green tea, and Earl Grey tea, however, are dehydrating so it’s best to forgo or limit them.
Water Drinking Contests
Warning! Never participate in a water-drinking contest. Typically a contestant will drink him or herself to death literally.
Moving Forward
Even if you entered this world with chronic dehydration, the wonderful truth is you can heal from chronic dehydration by taking small, manageable steps. Something as simple as a glass of lemon water is a great start. It takes time and a commitment to healing practices to make up for years of chronic dehydration, but it’s definitely possible and worth it for your health and vitality.
How many fresh, raw fruits and vegetables do you consume?

For a healing meal that’s around 50% raw and 50% cooked, try:
- A baked potato alongside a hydrating raw salad filled with lettuce, celery, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, and other chopped veggies.
- Wild rice or quinoa, steamed or sautéed veggies, and a raw guacamole with lemon, cilantro, and chopped red onion served atop plenty of raw leafy greens.
- If you enjoy animal protein, like a piece of wild salmon, eat it with a large fresh salad.

- Cucumber juice. Drinking 16 oz every day can do wonders for your hydration. Cucumber juice thins your blood, which supports your heart and the energy it exerts.
- Lemon water. Squeeze lemon into 16oz of high-quality water once, twice, three or four times a day. Add fresh lemon juice to other items, such as raw salads and herbal teas to boost hydration.
- Coconut water, even pasteurized, can hydrate the body.
- Fresh, raw veggies can be highly beneficial. Slice cucumbers onto your salad, snack on celery sticks, or create a raw pasta dish with spiralized cucumbers topped with fresh tomatoes and ripe bell peppers.
- Fresh fruits have countless benefits, including hydration. (If you’re concerned about fruit, check out the “Fruit Fear” chapter in Medical Medium.)
When it comes to staying hydrated, know that you don’t have to drown yourself in water. However, adding some water as well as certain foods in their whole and liquid form can be exceptionally valuable.

Every day, I try to drink around two liters of water with lemon juice squeezed in. In addition, I’ll bring in celery juice, cucumber juice, and oftentimes 16 to 32 oz of fresh squeezed orange juice. These are just a few of the ways I try to keep myself hydrated. Each person’s needs are different. Play around with all of these suggestions and see which ideas work best for you!
Herbal Tea
Hot herbal tea isn’t hydrating, but it doesn’t dehydrate you like other beverages might, and it has a host of healing benefits. Tea can be hydrating if you make it by putting fresh herb leaves, such as peppermint or lemon balm, in a jar of water and leaving it on the countertop to steep for around 6 hours. After that, you can stick it in the fridge and drink the hydrating beverage whenever you want!
Black tea, green tea, and Earl Grey tea, however, are dehydrating so it’s best to forgo or limit them.
Water Drinking Contests
Warning! Never participate in a water-drinking contest. Typically a contestant will drink him or herself to death literally.
Moving Forward
Even if you entered this world with chronic dehydration, the wonderful truth is you can heal from chronic dehydration by taking small, manageable steps. Something as simple as a glass of lemon water is a great start. It takes time and a commitment to healing practices to make up for years of chronic dehydration, but it’s definitely possible and worth it for your health and vitality.

With acetic acid attached to sodium entering cells,
cells are forced to excrete fluid, dehydrating cells in the brain --
and essentially pickling the brain.

It’s no mystery how brain betrayer foods enter our lives: we eat and drink them. What does sometimes sneak up on us is how much of them we eat. For example, it’s easy to eat a high-fat diet because we’ve been dazzled by the high-protein trend, not stopping to think or even realizing that protein sources are almost always fat sources too.
On top of which, now we’re being told that lots of fat is good for us, so we pile even more fats onto our plates. Vinegar is one brain betrayer food that can sneak up on us if we aren’t careful. Why should we be wary of vinegar? For one, its disturbance to the body’s homestasis.
People are already chronically acidic, with all body systems on the acidic side of the scale, so the body is already in a fight for homeostasis to try to at least become neutral. Vinegar derails that fight for homeostasis.
Even when including vinegar in a trendy plant-derived or animal protein diet that’s said to be alkalizing, vinegar makes it nearly impossible for all body systems to become alkaline. You can have a completely plant- based diet and still be acidic.
Living, beneficial sodium is meant to help replenish neurotransmitter chemicals, strengthen neurons, and fortify every brain cell. Vinegar disturbs this balance by hijacking sodium, forcing sodium to do vinegar’s bidding. Vinegar turns living, beneficial sodium against the body by causing that sodium to dehydrate cells, versus living sodium’s purpose of helping with hydration of cells.
Naturally occurring sodium from plant foods doesn’t have a message or information within it to turn against cells and force dehydration within the cell.
Only added salt in the diet (including healthier salts such as sea salt or rock salt) is inherently dehydrating.
Vinegar turns even naturally occurring trace mineral salts in fruits, leafy greens, herbs, wild foods, and vegetables into small bioweapons.
The acetic acid in vinegar attaches itself to sodium, not allowing sodium to do what it’s meant to do.
With acetic acid attached to sodium entering cells, cells are forced to excrete fluid, dehydrating cells in the brain— and essentially pickling the brain.
By the way, vinegar coupled with added salt is even more dehydrating—and rarely does anyone enjoy vinegar without added salt.
Salt is traditionally in every recipe where vinegar is.
While it may seem overwhelming to try to avoid one or more of the brain betrayer foods, know that the restored health you get out of it will be more than worth it. It’s not about deprivation or judgment.
You’re not a good or bad person based on what you eat. It’s about empowerment and taking one step at a time.

“If you have a shaky history with sodium and the word makes you nervous, let me assure you that the sodium in celery juice is beneficial.
Even if you’re on a low-sodium diet, you can still have celery juice. It’s not like eating a food that’s had table salt—or even healthier salts like Himalayan rock salt or Celtic sea salt—thrown on it. While your body does not see regular salt added to food as a friend, it accepts the sodium from celery juice as one of its own.
Celery juice is on your side. It actually removes crystallized toxic salts that have been in your organs for years. Now, if you get a blood test when you’re on celery juice, it could show elevated sodium.
What the test is really detecting are these old, toxic salts that celery juice is rounding up and sending out of your body.
Plus, chances are you haven’t given up table salt, so the blood analysis is picking up on that salt in your system as well. Blood testing isn’t nuanced enough to pick up on the difference.
A blood test could detect some sodium from celery juice, too, although it’s going to be what I call macro sodium, a common form of plant sodium that’s entirely healthy and needed. It’s so beneficial and balancing that it doesn’t spike the blood—meaning that if a blood test is displaying elevated sodium, celery juice’s sodium isn’t causing it.
Elevated sodium levels are also not caused by celery juice’s sodium cluster salts.
A blood test isn’t sensitive enough to pick up on celery juice’s sodium cluster salts; testing isn’t geared to find them, because they’re a subgroup of sodium that hasn’t been discovered yet by research and science.
So celery juice’s beneficial macro sodium only stabilizes the blood; it won’t lead to high sodium readings.
Again, though, it could take a little time to get to those stabilized readings, or they could come and go, because (1) it’s really easy to overindulge in table salt, since it’s practically everywhere, and that’s going to show up on a blood test, and (2) periodically, celery juice is going to be clearing out pockets of old, toxic salt as it reaches them deep in the organs, and that’s going to throw off blood test interpretations.
Celery juice’s complicated structures of beneficial sodium are elevated above other types, with different jobs and responsibilities. This is an entirely different make and model of sodium. It serves as a critical component of neurotransmitters—better said, it’s the ultimate neurotransmitter chemical. It’s what makes celery juice the most powerful electrolyte beverage on the planet. Nothing can surpass or even equal it.
Let’s talk more about the undiscovered subgroup of celery juice’s sodium that I call sodium cluster salts. “Sodium” and “salt” may sound a bit redundant, and yet it communicates that they are mineral salts that cluster around the macro sodium in celery juice.
That is, sodium cluster salts are a separate acting group of compounds that surround the element we know as sodium in celery, all of it arranged in a structured form, almost like our solar system. Trace minerals also reside in these living, moving clusters. Some trace minerals are bonded to the sodium cluster salts themselves, and some simply float inside the clusters.
There is information for us within these clusters. That’s rare. For the most part, plants are all about themselves. (Sound a bit like humans sometimes?) The information they contain is largely geared to sustaining themselves in their habitat, to accessing nourishment, to survival. Celery is different. Some of its information is for us, or for other animals consuming it.
Sodium cluster salts aren’t there as a defense mechanism or to keep the celery healthy as it’s growing; they aren’t there to keep the plant alive. They’re for us.
Sodium cluster salts contain information for our own well-being that’s activated when it enters our bodies. Information from the plant—the herb—itself and information from the sun as the plant was growing. Information about its purpose and how it can help the creature consuming it. Information about the complex job of extending our lives. Even if celery is grown in poor soil, it will still possess its cluster salts.
All salt is not the same. Although it can be easy to believe that sodium is sodium whether it’s in the ocean, a vegetable, soil, rock, or a salt lake, it’s not. If viewing it properly in a chemist’s lab, a technician would discover the various salts contained within the sodium in celery juice. That technician would find that the salts cluster around each other, acting as one—as the sodium in no other herb, vegetable, or mineral does. Not even the salt in the ocean behaves in the particular way that this humble herb’s does.
The sodium cluster salts in celery juice are able to neutralize toxins as they’re floating through the bloodstream and organs. That means that when the cluster salts touch them, they disarm the troublemakers, making them more friendly and acceptable to the body and less toxic, so that they don’t do harm to our human cells and organ tissue.
Toxic heavy metals are a particular type of toxin that celery juice’s sodium cluster salts take on. Heavy metals have a destructive, active charge to them that causes the metals to be damaging to liver cells, brain cells, and other cells throughout the body. Cluster salts defuse the charge, rendering them inactive and less aggressive, specifically disarming toxic heavy metals such as copper, mercury, and aluminum.
Sodium cluster salts also fight off unwanted bacteria and viruses. (You’ll read so much more about this ability throughout the next chapter.) Tricky bugs such as strep can’t become resistant or immune to them, the way they can to pharmaceutical antibiotics, so the cluster salts keep on working as you drink celery juice over time.
Celery juice’s mineral salts are able to kill off bacterial, fungal, and viral overgrowth as they travel through the small intestine and colon, and even once they’re absorbed into the bloodstream and pulled up into the liver through the hepatic portal vein. They’re an incredible antiseptic in this way, enhancing your entire body’s immune system.
These mineral salts are also able to support the liver in producing bile. That’s partly because the cluster salts enter the bile to make it stronger and partly because the celery juice rejuvenates the liver overall, allowing it to function properly and produce bile more efficiently. This is one aspect of what makes celery juice extraordinary for the liver.
To recap: The sodium in celery juice is suspended in living water within the celery. Inside that living water are sodium cluster salts, tightly connected to it. So the cluster salts surround and suspend sodium, and they’re also varieties of sodium themselves. The different forms of sodium become one and they’re also separate. That’s how celery juice is structured.
Medical research and science haven’t identified this yet because they haven’t tried to look beyond “celery has salt.” It’s not nearly that simple. If they analyze it superficially, it’s going to look like salt. If they analyzed it further, they would be able to separate out and identify the different varieties of sodium within celery juice. And then they would be closer to identifying all that these sodium cluster salts do for our health.
Rather than having to wait decades for these medical answers, you already hold them in your hands. You’ll find out so much about the surprising and potent benefits of sodium cluster salts throughout this book, particularly in the next chapter, “Relief from Your Symptoms and Conditions.”

Limit salty foods.
It would appear that for the largest part of our evolution, people’s salt intake was less than 250mg per day. Hypertension and age related blood pressure is virtually absent in populations where salt intake is low.
In South Africa our average salt intake is about 8g per day, almost double the recommendation with proof of a relationship with certain illnesses. It is only endurance sportsmen who need a higher sodium intake.
Salt consists of about 40% sodium and 60% chloride.
Chloride is often shunned, but it is an important component in the link between salt and hypertension. Although people differ in their sensitivity to salt, there is a direct progressive relationship between salt intake and hypertension.
The worrying factor here is that blood pressure in children follows a pattern which shows that salt intake during one’s younger years has a programming effect on one’s blood pressure in later years.
Salt intake among children and adolescents is particularly high as a result of their high intake of processed foods.
Research shows that a high salt intake is a direct risk factor for stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney disease, independently of high blood pressure. You can watch this video to understand it better.
A high salt intake relates to kidney stones, osteoporosis and the seriousness of asthma and is possibly a significant cause of stomach cancer.
Although 1 out of 5 South Africans add salt to food before tasting, more than 48% of excessive salt comes from the food industry. Legislation has been passed to limit the salt in processed foods.
Endorsement bodies strive towards only endorsing foods which comply with the specifications for a healthier sodium content.
Sodium content / 100g
Low - 120mg - Medium - 120-600mg - High - 600mg
In order to control salt intake, the most important principle is to limit the use of processed foods and to rather eat unprocessed foods. A simple comparison is the sodium content of oats (12mg/100g raw) vs Bran flakes (804mg/100g).
Be especially wary of the use of packets, powders and sauces. With processing and as the fat content increases, the energy content increases and replaces proteins and other nutrients.
In the case of processed products, the salt content increases drastically with certain processing techniques and results in unhealthy products.

Salting Your Water:
The Danger Of Adding Salt To Your Glass
❖
The Danger Of Adding Salt To Your Glass
❖
You hear it all the time now: health influencers and health professionals are urging people to add salt to their glasses of water every day.
The theory is that it helps keep sodium levels stable for many health purposes.
This theory is not just unfounded, it’s reckless and doesn’t help individuals with their health as much as everyone is being told.
There is a reason why society today is addicted to salt; there is a reason why people stranded at sea cannot survive on salt water; there is a reason why we cannot swallow a salt water gargle without potentially vomiting it up and there is a reason why the theory of adding a pinch of salt to your glass of water every day is a terrible biohack. In this episode, be ready to hear what you may not want to hear—it’s all about salt and saving your health.
