Hi,
I just came back from a trip from Colombia in south america. There i went to see a tribe of indians called the Koguis, which are known to be one of the few indigineous tribes who have kept their traditions intact and resisted the influence of colonization. They have been able to do this thanks to the protection of the environment they live in, a 15000ft densely forested mountain.
One striking thing about their practice is their belief on salt. They do not touch the stuff. In fact, they believe that salt pollutes your body system and prevents you from accessing your higher abilities. Intrigued by this i did some research on the internet and found the following article backing this belief;

What does the community here think of this? Is there anyone out there who avoids the use of salt? Could we be poisoning ourselves unknowingly?
Thanks!

It one wants to transition away from salt you can dry some fresh celery. Cut it in small pieces and then grind it carefully not to overheat it. Use the powder to season meals. Celery is high in organic salt and will make an appreciable taste difference to foods.
Sea salt&salt-inorganic mineral.Human body can’t utilize it&salt starts to concentate in your joints and tissues, also it damages your kidneys, heart, skin&all your body.In veggies,fruits,nuts,especially in celery,dill,green onion&parsley is enough of salt.It takes time to get rid of this bad habit to add salt-but if you get rid of it you’ll feel a big difference!Your health will be much better:)!If you wanna be young&healthy-avoid salt;)
Thank you!
I have stopped using salt for a week and no longer miss it that much. I am starting to appreciate the real taste of food. It really makes sense to me now not to use salt, which makes me wonder, how did we get to the point to adding salt to almost everything we eat? Have we gone mad in the world?
Also, as kids we are by nature very flexible and supple yet when we grow into adulthood we become stiff and inflexible. Our sedentary lifestyle probably has to do much with it, but i wonder if the junk we eat, including salt, helps us become inflexible and stiff.
what about this Himalayan Sea Salt? it is suppossed to be very good for you? What have you all heard?
if you eat seaweed that is the same exact thing as eating small amounts of salt. i think in moderation salt is just dandy for your body. im not sure what you guys thing about this, but you will never rid your body of 100% poison. a little bit of salt is ok. just dont make it your diet :)
