Water & Salt, The Essence of Life

Water&Salt, The Essence of Life
by Dr.Barbara Hendel MD and biophysicist Peter Ferreira

This book presents revolutionary insights into food, health, beauty and consciousness. Dozens of intriguing photos bring these profound subjects to life and make this book an exciting and fulfilling adventure. biophysics

From the first day that this book was introduced in Germany tin 1999, it was an immediate bestseller. Millions of people have changed their lives in respect to water and salt with the profound scientific information presented herein in an easy-to-read format that everyone is able to understand . We are happy to now make our English speaking readers acquainted with the subjects of Water & Salt so that they too may find better understanding and respect for these most essential elements. We also hope that thousands of doctors, scientists, alternative practitioners and therapists will embrace this natural knowledge to help mankind in a natural way.

Why was this book written? According to the co-authors, Peter Ferreira and Barbara Hendel, Water & Salt actually originated from an interest generated by those who attended, with increasing interest, the seminars given by Peter Ferreira where the scientific research and holistic understanding regarding the two natural elements of water and salt, were presented. Many attendees realized the positive health implications of these research findings while gaining a more positive outlook to their personal lives. The fact about these two most natural and simple subjects of water & salt made a lot of sense to most of the people, but many questions still remained unanswered.

It appeared that this ancient knowledge regarding the laws of nature had been lying dormant in the darkness for too long. How could we take the dusty bottles of knowledge from the cellar and give them new labels and present them anew? Although the answers to the remaining questions seemed to be self-explanatory by simple logic, many people were looking for proof. So, for you, this book is meant to be a useful and practical guide. For those of you wanting even more, this book will not only give you some scientific knowledge, but can act as a catalyst for a new, healthier and independent life.

The goal of the authors is to make the life-giving properties of water and salt understandable to everyone. Nature is less complicated than we think. In fact, with orderly simplicity, nature reveals its cosmic laws. It is only up to us to recognize and understand it again. Once we comprehend the connections, an inner impulse will ignite the change.

This precious knowledge shall not be kept within a small circle of scientifically trained people. With the public's growing interest in the subject of water and salt, this book has been written in a holistically minded way for the average person. The expectations of this book will be fulfilled when the individual reader will experience an impulse for change, not only to recognize the purpose of life, but also to experience it. Our whole life is a continuously developing process towards a higher state of consciousness.

Reading this book will demystify the mysterious and provide a new outlook, one which may challenge many of the old dogmas and credos. Many will feel the urge to reevaluate their present views. But we also encourage our readers to accept this knowledge with a critical eye. Real knowledge comes only from your own experience. Listen to your inner voice and then make your own practical experiences. Be suspicious when things are changed from their original state. Our aim is not only to inform, but also to inspire and motivate our readers to recognize creation not only on the outside but to experience it on the inside. Real Life must be experienced! Experience real life!

Himalayan Crystal Salt is one of the most profound re-discoveries of our time. For centuries, the energy/information content, in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral rich salt, were utilized by doctors for treating most every disorder known to humans, and with unfailing success. Recently. this ancient knowledge was once again uncovered by biophysicists and brought to light in the acclaimed book, Water&Salt, The Essence of Life.

About The Authors

Dr. Barbara Hendel MD studied Medicine at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, and has been working as a holistic health practitioner for over 20 years. Her focus has been on naturopathic medicine, especially on bio-energetic methods. She has a special interest in supporting those students who have fallen through the cracks of allopathic medicine by showing them holistic, alternative approaches. Since 1993, Dr. Hendel heads a clinic for bio-regulatory therapies, preventative medicine and regeneration. She has successfully managed to synthesize the allopathic with the naturopathic approach.

Peter Ferreira (1965), Biophysicist, is head of a scientific research project on the biophysical connection between water and salt. Mr. Ferreira is the director of the Institute for Biophysical Research, and represents the countries of Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the U.S., focusing in the fields of water and salt research. His career path was influenced early on while growing up in his hometown Salzberg (Eng., salt mountain), near Berchtesdgaden, home of one of Germany's largest salt mines and salt manufacturing plants. Influenced by his holistic, vegetarian upbringing, Mr. Ferreira dedicated himself, at an early age, to acquire an understanding of the ethical and metaphysical principles of consciousness. While pursuing his career, he lived several years abroad in the U.S., Portugal and Poland. During this time Mr. Ferreira continued to be fascinated with water and salt and has become recognized by millions as the leading authority on the subjects. He has made numerous television appearances and he lectures nationally as well as internationally on the subject. It is his greatest interest to convey the scientific connection between life-force, geometry and consciousness, in a basic form, accessible to the lay person.

What is Himalayan Crystal Salt?

When we speak of Himalayan Crystal Salt, we are referring to only one specific crystal salt, “The Original®”, coming from one specific location in Pakistan and has been the subject of comprehensive medical research as featured in the book Water&Salt - The Essence of Life, by Dr. Barbara Hendel, MD and Peter Ferreira. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt is more than sodium and chloride. Original Himalayan Crystal Salt can actually be viewed as food. When we speak of salt, and as we scrutinize its properties, we mean salt in its original form: holistic, wholesome, unaltered, natural salt, as it has crystallized in the Earth over millions of years.

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt contains all the elements of which the human body is comprised. From the periodic table of elements we are familiar with 94 natural elements (stable as well as unstable). Apart from inert gases, all of these elements (84) can be found in crystal salt. Hence, crystal salt contains all natural minerals and trace elements that are found in the human body.

Are All Crystal Salts The Same?

Frankly, we don’t know. We can only talk with confidence about the scientific findings and inherent supreme bio-energetic qualities of The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt brand and the positive effects that our salt has been scientifically proven to have on the human body. No other salts, coming from any other sources, can make any claims as to the bio-energetic properties of their salts or the effects on the human body functions without the research data to verify their claims. Although other brands of crystal salts are available, we cannot speak about them as nothing is known about them in any definitive way.

The Meaning of the Word Salt

The word salt comes from the Latin term sal, which again comes from the word sol. Sol is synonymous with the “sole,” the water and salt solution and is the Latin word for sun. Mythologically, and from its definition, sole means “liquid sunlight,” the liquid materialization of the sun’s energy, liquid light energy, bound into a geometrical structure, capable of creating and sustaining life. This literally explains where life on Earth came from: from the sole of the primal oceans. To Top

The Celtic word for salt, “hall” has the same roots as the German word heilig meaning “holy” which also comes from the word heil meaning “whole,” Further, hall also signifies sound (German schall). The schall is a sound with a long hall, which means echo or reverberation in German, involving vibration. If we knew of these correlations today, we would be asking our neighbor at the table to “Please pass me some vibration,” rather than “Please pass me some salt.” We have to ask, “Were the Celts conscious of the fact that salt contained all the frequency patterns of the elements?” And, that “hall” was the basic vibration for “heil” (German “health”)/ “wholesomeness”? They definitely knew how to cure illnesses and rebalance the energy deficit in the body through “hall,” their salt. From an energetic, as well as from the biophysical point of view, an energy deficit can be balanced with salt, regardless of the missing frequency pattern, or the missing information/energy/life-force. Pure crystal salt is still geologically defined as “halite,” in which we can recognize the Celtic words “hall” for salt and “lit” for light. Loosely translated, crystal salt or halite means, light vibration.

Natural Himalayan crystal salt consists not only of two, but also of all natural elements. These are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been built and originally found existing in the “primal ocean” from where all life originated. Interesting enough, our blood is a sole, containing the same salty solution as that of the primal sea; that is, a fluid consisting of water and salt.

Salt — Mediator between Energy and Matter

Salt is that which remains after matter has dissolved and transformed into subtle matter. The founder of the Schüssler Salt Therapy, Dr. Wilhelm Schüssler, already proved, over 100 years ago, that the ashes remaining after a corpse is cremated are nothing but the salts of which the human body is made. The byproduct of the modern waste burning plants is salt. Needless to say, no one would want to eat this salt, but the fact remains, it is salt. Our prehistoric ancestors were already aware of the crucial necessity of salt. Wherever they found salt they guarded it like a treasure. Later in history, salt was called “white gold” and was the subject of political power plays, which oftentimes resulted in war. Roman soldiers were actually paid with salt, which is reflected in the word “salary.” Salt was more important for survival than gold. Throughout Europe, the salt routes over which the white gold was transported emerged. The names of many German cities bear testimony to this time, with such names as: Salzgitter, Salzburg or Bad Salzuflen for instance. Also, names including the word “hall,” the Celtic word for salt, emerged, with city names like Bad Reichenhall, Friedrichshall and Hallein, indicating salt deposits at these locations.

The Structure of Salt

Similar to water, salt has its individual crystalline structure. In contrast to the structure of water, which is tetrahedral in shape, the grid structure of salt is cubic in form. This cube is constructed from light quanta, also called photons, which are pure light energy. The light/heat energy of the sun evaporated the primal oceans more than 250 million years ago and the energy expended for this dehydration is stored in the platonic body of the salt’s crystalline grid as potential energy. By adding water, the force of the grid can be overcome, so that the energy it holds is liberated. In this process, the elements within the crystal salt are ionized, allowing them to penetrate the body’s cells. This creates an ocean of energy, a powerful potential, waiting only to create and sustain life. To Top

The Power of Salt to Transform

From a scientific point of view, salt has a very unique property. In contrast to all other crystalline structures, the atomic structure of salt is not molecular, but electrical. This fact is what makes salt so transformable. When we submerge a quartz crystal into water and remove it after 10 minutes, it is still the same quartz crystal. It did not change molecularly, though it has a crystalline structure. Although the crystal can give its energy, its frequency pattern into the surrounding water, which is effortlessly absorbed, the quartz crystal remains the same. The crystal is too rooted in matter to be dissolved or disassociated from its polarity. To Top

When we submerge a crystal of salt into water, it dissolves, and the sole is created. Sole is neither water nor salt. It is a higher energetic dimension than either the water or the salt alone. When the sole evaporates, the salt is left behind. This transformability of salt ensures that it does not have to be metabolized in our body. Starch is transformed into sugar, protein into amino acids and fat into glycerin and acid. But salt remains salt. It is directly available to the cells in its ionized form as sole (so-lay). All other foods must be separated into their components in order for the body to make use of them. But salt always remains in its original form. It even accesses our brain directly.To Top

No Thoughts and No Actions Without Salt

Even the simplest processes in our body need salt or its inherent elements in ionized form. For example, it is the task of our nervous system to transmit the stimulation that has been recorded via sensory input to our brain, which in return passes this information back to our muscles in order for us to react to the respective stimuli. An electric potential occurs on the membrane wall of the cells when the positively charged potassium ions leave the cells and the positively charged sodium ions cannot enter due to their size. The outside becomes positively charged and the inside negatively charged. When a nerve cell is stimulated, its membrane suddenly becomes polar opposite and consequently is permeable for the sodium ions. In one-thousandth of a second (1/1000th), the electrical potential is transformed and releases, with every nerve impulse, 90 mill volts of energy. The received stimuli are now being converted into thoughts and actions. Without the elements potassium and sodium in the salt, this process is not possible. Not even a single thought is possible, let alone an action, without their presence. Just the simple act of drinking a glass of water requires millions of instructions that come as impulses. In the beginning there is the thought. This thought is nothing but an electromagnetic frequency. The salt is responsible for enabling this frequency to transmit commands to the muscles and organs.

The Conductivity of Salt

Most of us are familiar with experimenting with the conductivity of salt from science class. We attach two ends of an electric current to a light bulb and submerge it into a glass with distilled water. Because this water is not conductive, the bulb does not light up. But when we add a little bit of salt into the water, the bulb slowly starts to glow. It is the same with our body. When we lack the natural elements of the salt, we are suffering from a chronic loss, a chronic energy deficit, or deficit of information. Salt cannot be labeled as a medication, because that would imply that apples too were a medication. Salt is a core essential nutrient with exceptional abilities and qualities fundamental for keeping us alive. And we can find that which we are lacking, the respective frequency pattern, as well as the necessary bio-chemicals, in natural crystal salt.

White Gold to White Poison

As common as salt shakers are to our kitchens, so are the numbers of diseases associated with salt’s daily use. Life is not possible without salt. But our consumption of salt is killing us. Why is that? Because our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt of which we’re talking about here. Salt nowadays is mainly sodium chloride and not salt. Natural crystal salt consists not only of two, but also of all natural elements. These are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been built and originally found existing in the “primal ocean” from where all life originated.Interesting enough, our blood is a sole, containing the same salty solution as that of the primal sea; that is, a fluid consisting of water and salt. It also has the same ratio of concentration as existed in the days when life left the primal sea. This sole flows through more than 56,000 miles of waterways and blood vessels throughout our organism with the forces of gravity and levity and regulates and balances the functions of our body. To Top

How Salt Became Sodium Chloride

With the advent of industrial development, natural salt was “chemically cleaned” and reduced to the combination of sodium and chloride. Essential minerals and trace elements were removed as impurities. However, sodium chloride is an unnatural, isolated, unwholesome substance having nothing in common with salt. Similar to white, refined sugar, salt, once regarded as white gold, was converted into white poison. However, there is a higher reason for salt having been endowed with all the natural elements found in our bodies. Sodium chloride is an aggressive substance, which biochemically, is perpetually seeking an equalizing counterpart so that the body’s pH can always remain neutral. Sodium chloride needs its natural counterpart in order for it to produce its effect. The natural counterparts, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals and trace elements, demonstrate, from a biophysical standpoint, specific frequency patterns. These patterns ensure the geometric structures in our body. When these structures are missing, we are without energy and are lifeless. Salt should not be used just to add flavor to our food, but for its vibration pattern, which is similar to our body!

How Table Salt Burdens the Body

While our body only requires the minute amount of 0.007 ounces of salt per day, most of us suffer from a lack of salt, even though we’re over-saturated with sodium chloride. When our consumption of salt is less than 0.007 ounces per day, salt craving kicks in. The average, per capita, daily consumption of table salt in the U.S. is between 0.4 ounces and 0.7 ounces. However, our body is only able to excrete 0.17 ounces to 0.25 ounces a day through our kidneys, depending on our age, constitution and sex. The body recognizes table salt as an aggressive cellular poison, an unnatural substance, and wants to eliminate it as quickly as possible in order to protect itself. This causes a constant overburden on our organs of excretion. In almost every preserved product, salt is used as part of the preservation process. So, by adding salt to the already-salted food, the body receives more salt than it can get rid of.

The body now tries to isolate the over-dose of salt. In this process, water molecules surround the sodium chloride in order to ionize it into sodium and chloride to neutralize it. For this process, the water is taken from our cells as the body sacrifices its most perfectly structured cell water in order to neutralize sodium chloride. With this, the dehydrated body cells die.

The Consequences of Consuming Table Salt

The result of consuming common table salt is the formation of overly acidic edema, or excess fluid in the body tissue, which is also the cause of cellulite. That’s why doctors tell us to avoid salt. For every .035 ounces of sodium chloride that cannot be eliminated, the body uses 23 times (23x) the amount of its own cell water to neutralize the salt. If the sodium chloride is still too high, re-crystallization of the table salt occurs as the body uses available non-degradable animal proteins (as those found in milk), which also have no value and cannot be broken down and eliminated. The body uses these proteins to produce uric acid in order to get rid of the excess salt. As the body cannot dispose of uric acid, it binds itself with the sodium chloride to form new crystals that are deposited directly in the bones and joints. This is the cause of different kinds of rheumatism such as arthritis, gout, and kidney and gall bladder stones. This re-crystallization is the body’s band-aid solution for the cells and organs in order to protect the body from irreparable damage of irresponsible food intake. But in the long run, it poisons the system because those substances cannot be disposed of.

The Difference Between Rock Salt and Crystal Salt

The elements in rock salt are not integrated into the salt’s crystal grid, but cling to the outside surface and crevices of the crystalline structure. This is the fundamental difference between rock salt and crystal salt. A salt crystal manifests a superior structure. Due to this sublime form, the elements are biochemically available for our cells as are the individual frequencies or vibration patterns. Rock salt is a cheap alternative to table salt, and is at least a natural and wholesome product. Biochemically and biophysically however, it is of little importance to our organism. We can only receive the resonant effects of the geometrical structure through the superior order or structure of a crystal and our cells can only absorb those elements that occur in an ional form. Only under considerable pressure considerable pressure can the elements be transformed into a specific size, making them ional, which enables them to pass through our cell wall. This is important because our cells can only absorb what is available organically or ionally. Therefore, we cannot absorb the minerals from mineral water as they’re not refined enough to penetrate our cell walls. And what doesn’t get into our cells cannot be metabolized. Therefore, the best calcium is useless if it cannot be available to the body’s cells. What we need is the organic, or ional state of an element, in perfect natural symbiosis with all its associated elements, in order for our organism to make any use of it.

Crystal Salt

Pure, natural crystal salt has been subjected to enormous pressure over millions of years. The pressure is responsible for creating the salt crystals. The higher the amount of pressure the more superior or excellent the state of order within the crystalline structure. Salt, for us, is foremost an information carrier and not a spice. For information to be absorbed into our cells, a crystalline structure is necessary. Chemically, a stone and a quartz crystal are both silicates. However, the vast difference in the amounts of pressure they were subjected to, distinguishes them. The quartz crystal embodies a perfect geometric form, a perfect state of order within its structure. The stone does not. Its elements are coarse, because it was not subjected to enough pressure to create a crystalline structure. Crystal salt layers wind through the mountain of salt, shimmering in transparent white, pinkish or reddish veins. Only with sufficient pressure was the salt of the salt mountain transformed into crystal salt. The elements trapped within the crystal salt are in particles small enough to be able to penetrate the human cells and be metabolized.

The Healing Effect of Salt

For thousands of years salt has been known as a panacea. Alchemists called it “the fifth element”—besides water, earth, air and fire—because its qualities were comparable only to ether, the actual fifth element. Why are we so drawn to the ocean? Because our subconscious mind instinctively wants to return to the specific vibrational state of the ocean from which we once emerged. This is where we can return to recharge our batteries and regenerate. It was only two-hundred-fifty years ago, with the advent of industrialization, that we initiated our disconnection from nature and her ways. Fortunately, we are witnessing a trend to return back to natural, holistic methods for living and caring for our body, including a shift back to utilizing natural salts in this process. People everywhere are reconsidering the healing effects of natural crystal salt. We can find it in skin care lotions and for use as bath salts, and it is even used in inhalation or cleansing treatments for illnesses of the respiratory system and for a variety of other indications.

The Neutralizing Effect of Salt

The healing properties of salt are also known in allopathic medicine. The largest and oldest salt works in Europe occupies the royal salt mine of Wieliczka, Poland, just 7.5 miles outside of Krakow. Here, a hospital was carved out of the expansive salt mountain, seven hundred forty feet below the surface, specifically for asthmatics and patients with lung disease and allergies. Several thousand patients have been successfully treated in this hospital. The healing rate is astonishingly over 90%. Recognition of the healing effects of salt chambers has influenced the construction of a similar underground spa located in the salt mine of Berchtesgaden in Germany. The therapeutic benefits of long-term residency inside the healing salt chambers are allopathically acknowledged. The healing effects were originally thought to be related to the purity of the air within the mine’s chambers. But if it was only a question of the purity of the air, why was the air in the cave so healthy, and the air above-surface so unhealthy? One cause has been determined. Our houses are charged with electromagnetic devices, such as TVs, stereos, computers, microwave ovens and the basic electric currents running through our walls. And, when not at home, we hold cell phones to our ears while driving in our cars and walking through our daily lives. This electro-smog causes an excess of positively charged ions that disturb the balance between the positively and negatively charged particles. Further, it creates an excess positively charged, chemically unbound particles in the air. Only thirty seconds on a cell phone are enough to open up our blood-brain-barrier, a natural barrier that protects our brain from toxins, for eight hours. A Swedish study showed that ninety percent of the women who used a copper-T I.U.D. as their birth control method, while simultaneously using cell phones, developed uterine cancer; the cause being that the I.U.D. functioned as a transmitter and receiver of unnatural, dissonant vibrations.

Crystal Salt Promotes the Excretion of Animal Proteins

A further study showed some interesting allopathic results. All subjects in this study drank one-teaspoon of sole daily. After four weeks, the protein emission in the urine significantly increased for eighty percent of the one-hundred-twenty-three subjects. This shows that the energy pattern of the sole with its innate, natural antagonism towards the proteins, helps and supports the excretion of animal proteins that are difficult to break down. (This examination was done by Dr.Elisabeth Scherwitz-Josenhans MD.)

Salt Deficiency: the cause of many serious diseases

An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted. (1995). Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health outcomes benefits of lower-sodium diets. Both sea salt and rock salt were well known to the ancient Greeks who noted that eating salty food affected basic body functions such as digestion and excretion (urine and stools). This led to salt being used medically. The healing methods of Hippocrates (460 BC) especially made frequent use of salt. Hippocrates mentions inhalation of steam from salt-water. We know today that the antiinflammatory effects of inhaled salt provide relief from respiratory symptoms (c). Thus, 2000 years ago, Greek medicine had already discovered topical use of salt for skin lesions, drinking salty or mineralized waters for digestive troubles and inhaling salt for respiratory diseases! more

Speleotherapy - Salt Therapy for respiratory illnesses

Several research reports the benefit of Halo/Speleo therapy that can improve a condition of people suffering in chronic and allergic diseases of respiratory system such as asthma, allergy, rhinitis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Skulimowski (1965) reports an improvement of salt therapy with the group of 100 COPD and asthma patients after applying the treatment of speleotherapy 4 hours a day for 6-8 weeks. Hovarths (1986) conducts a medical reserch and shows successful results in salt therapy in a group of more than 4000 patients in a 10-year period in a hospital-cave complex in Tapolca, Hungary. He shows that a sharp and long-lasting clinical improvement and a significant recovery from airway obstruction could be observed in the overwhelming majority of patients. learn more

Health Benefits of Marine Plants (Seaweed)

"There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables ... sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclitides, heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins." Steven Schecter, N.D

"Sea plants can transform your health. A seaweed bath is a great way to get the benefits of sea plants all over your body. Seaweed baths are Nature's perfect body-psyche balancer, and they're a good way get natural iodine. There are many reasons why I recommend sea vegetables as part of my healing programs -- weight loss, cellulite control, detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more. Sea vegetables can transform your health! I believe that when we eat sea vegetables, and when we take seaweed baths, we are tapping into the ancestral and restorative source of all life- the ocean. Include sea vegetables into your diet every day and you 'll see a difference. I do! Sea plants -- gifts from the sea!" Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D.

Seaweeds are really not a weed but large marine algae that grow in the coastal waters of many countries. They include thousands of species from microscopic plants called phytoplankton to huge floating/anchored plants commonly seen washed up on shore. Many kinds of seaweed are eaten by people because they are full of vitamins and iodine. Asian cultures use seaweed like green beans and carrots are used in the United States. One of seaweed's most prominent health benefits is its ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from our bodies. Whole brown seaweeds (not granulated) such as algae contain alginic acid which binds with the toxins in the intestines rendering them indigestible and carries them out of the system.

Healing Clay - Healing Earth

Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite, Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history. According to Knishinsky, benefits reported by people using liquid clay for a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal regularity; relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum repair; and increased resistance to infections. Clay works on the entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched by its healing energies, he notes.

"The eating of clay has been observed in [ native ] peoples and animals in all parts of the world since antiquity. Early writers described the widespread use of kanwa ( earth from a lick near Lake Chad ) for animals and humans in Nigeria. Long journeys were made to [ this ] lick to obtain a tribal supply of this earth, and it was then issued as rations to cattle and humans... learn more

The Study

Results of a comprehensive, scientific research project studying the effects of water and salt on a myriad of body functions reveal some impressive indicators about the affect that drinking Fiji Water and taking Himalayan Crystal Salt can have on the body. A nine-week double-blind university study undertaken in 2003 at the Inter-University of Graz, Austria, examined the effects of drinking a minimum of 1.5 liters of tap water per day with common table salt vs. a minimum of 1.5 liters of FIJI Water with Original Himalayan Crystal Salt on physical and psychological functions of the body. In the study, patients who drank Fiji Water together with the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt saw significant positive changes in respiratory, circulatory, organ, connective tissue and nervous system functions. Patients also reported increases in the quality of sleep, energy and concentration levels, brain activity, weight loss, enhanced consciousness and noticeable nail and hair growth

Biophysical Examination by Segmentary Diagnosis (Imedis)

The biophysical examinations were performed by the expert system, IMEDIS. This system captures the primary state of homeostasis as well as the immediate reaction of the body to altered environmental influences. In diagnosing the body’s reactions to one or several environmental influences, the patients were subjected to a so-called “neutral” environment. The result of these referential measurements serves as a comparative basis for measurements of bodily functions within altered situations. These measurements were performed according to the experiences of biofunctional organometry as well as to the methods of segmentary diagnosis. The focus of this test was to pinpoint the energetic and informational effects on the homeostasis (biofunctional regulatory behavior).

The results of the organometric measurements confirm, with no ambiguity, its supportive effects through a continuous decrease in deviating factors. The diagnosis of the organs and the reactions in the vegetative nervous system illuminates the energetic and informational relationship between the water and the crystalline sole and its effects on the homeostatic regulatory behavior. This diagnosis helps determine the major pathological and pre-pathological tendencies as well as functional disorders and physiological tensions. The tests confirmed that all of the previously determined organ dysfunctions regained their original, natural state of balance and proved the regulating and balancing power of the crystalline sole.

Scientific Results: Medical and Biophysical University Double-Blind Study

In the following you can hopefully begin to understand the amazing and scientifically proven comparison between the natural living elements of FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt versus tap water and common industrial table salt. This study will present the effects between that which we call “Alive” and that which we call “Dead,” on our body.Science has discovered the physical and chemical properties of pure FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt. Now we take a look at the biophysical aspects of these amazing elements.In conjunction with the Institute for Biophysical Research, the Inter-University Graz, Austria, conducted medical and biophysical research using the internationally accepted double-blind criteria for human research. The scope of the study was to find out the possible differences in health benefits between treatments with FIJI Water versus tap water from the city of Graz, Austria, and FIJI Water with a teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt sole solution, versus tap water from the city of Graz, Austria with a teaspoon of common, industrial table salt solution. The research scientists and doctors were astonished at their findings.

Several individual medical, biophysical and psychological parameters were measured, diagnosed, analyzed, tested and evaluated. Four groups of patients underwent treatment and diagnoses for a period of nine weeks. All groups of subjects drank 1.5 liters of water on a daily basis. (Group 1: drinking only FIJI Water, Group 2: drinking only tap water, Group 3: drinking a solution of FIJI Water in combination with Original Himalayan Crystal Salt, Group 4: drinking a solution of tap water in combination with common table salt). No other treatments were received, and none of the patients used drugs or dieted during the course of the study. The individual subjects of each group had similar conditions to those of each subject of the reference groups (age, sex, weight, health status, etc.).

The following results have been summarized: At the outset of the study, when analyzing and diagnosing the self-regulatory system of each person through the implementation of the IMEDIS SYSTEM, the average deviation from perfect health within Group 1, (FIJI Water only Group), where 0.00 % would be the perfect health status in human organism, was measured as a group index of 30%. By the end of the study, their average group index had positively changed, decreasing towards normal to the level of 9.67%. Moreover, the individual diagnosed parameters of organ functions of the peripherals and nervous system, as well as stomach functions and connective tissue functions, achieved the most significant positive changes. This positive change was highly significant because the opposite was analyzed and measured within Group 2, (tap water only Group).

Their average measured group index at the beginning of the study was 28.80% and was negatively increased to an amount of 40.20% by the end of the study. Upon analysis and diagnoses of Group 3, (drinking FIJI Water combined in a solution with the natural, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt), as a teaspoon-per-day of sole treatment, the beginning average-measured-group-index of 32.33%, decreased during the study to the incredibly low average index of 8.57% by the end of the treatments.

These scientific findings have shown that the significant, positive health benefits of FIJI Water were enhanced in combination with the positive benefits of using a natural crystalline salt solution as a treatment to normalize the self-regulatory system of the human body. The best results were achieved within this group and the individual diagnosed parameters of human organism functions, which also resulted in significant positive changes of the respiratory system, the blood circulation system, the elimination system, the spleen and liver system, the skin system, the metabolic system of all organs including the vessel system as well as the gall bladder, the urinary bladder and the kidney system.

Group 4, which was drinking tap water in combination with the common table salt solution, had the worse diagnosed results. The average-measured-group-index of 29.20%, at the beginning of the study, rose to 39.39% by the end of the treatments.The scientific analysis provided by the IMEDIS SYSTEM gave clear medical evidence that subjects regularly drinking a daily minimum of 1.5 liters of only FIJI Water, or in combination with the alternative natural treatment of one-teaspoon-per-day of the natural crystalline salt solution made with FIJI Water and natural, original Himalayan Crystal Salt, provided natural regulation of energy deficiencies in the human organism. The homeostasis (self-regulatory system) becomes so clearly enhanced, verifiably elevated, that human bodies reacted in resonance to the fluids used as a treatment. The opposite occurs when using tap water and/or common, industrial table salt. This scientifically proved that water is not just H2O and that salt is not just NaCl (sodium chloride), but one of the most essential energetic substances for our well-being and health.

As an additional biophysical parameter, to analyze and diagnose the compatibility of a treatment without that the patients need to ingest the tested substances, the medical drug testing device, “VOLL ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE SYSTEM” which measures skin resistance, was performed. This bio functional system diagnosis can scientifically prove how helpful a treatment can be for the self-regulatory system of the human organism. Group 1, drinking FIJI Water alone, as well as Group 3, drinking FIJI Water in combination with the original Himalayan Crystal Salt solution, achieved the best results. However, the exact opposite was tested with Group 2, drinking tap water alone, and Group 4, drinking tap water in combination with the common table salt solution. All tests with patients of Group 1 and Group 3 revealed a positive and resonant feedback within the drug test, whereas Group 2 and Group 4 exhibited a dissonant and negative feedback with no compatibility with human organ functions.

FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt are both carriers of natural electromagnetic frequencies similar to the electromagnetic frequency spectrum in the human organism. Such “Life Force” could not be detected within the tested substances of tap water and common table salt.To take it even one step further, the highly sensitive measurement diagnosis HRV (Heart Rate Variability) was used together with all other analysis to diagnose possible changes of the biodynamic status of the body. For the first time, using the heart frequency rate in combination with typical medical and biophysical analysis within a scientific study under double-blind criteria, significant changes were realized.

The clinical group analysis of Group 1 (FIJI Water only) and Group 3 (FIJI Water with Original Himalayan Crystal Salt), resulted in a significant increased change in the heart frequency in relation to the Sinus-Rhythm. These changes are responsible for an overall increased vitality throughout all functions of the entire body. The vitality increased on a daily basis during the time when patients were drinking FIJI Water. The opposite results were diagnosed within Group 2, (tap water only), and Group 4, (tap water with common table salt solution). Their vitality decreased.Blood pressure analysis resulted in no significant changes between Group 1 (FIJI Water only) and Group 2 (tap water only). But within Group 3 (FIJI Water and original Himalayan Crystal Salt Solution), there was a notable decrease in high blood pressure.All patients of all groups were analyzed and diagnosed under medical criteria according to their blood and urine conditions.

The Lipoprotein status was first analyzed as the HDL level “Good Cholesterol,” which increased within all tested groups. The level most significantly increased within Group 1 (FIJI Water only ) and Group 2 (tap water only), the groups which were drinking just water. University medical research has shown that a high HDL level lowers the risk of arteriosclerosis. Independent of the quality of water, drinking water throughout the day supports and maintains the “Good Cholesterol” level.The LDL “Bad Cholesterol,” level decreased within all four groups. The level most significantly decreased within Group 3 and Group 4, the groups that were using, in addition to the water, the salt solution treatments. Medical university studies have shown that low LDL levels help against the risk of arteriosclerosis. Independent of the quality of the salt solution, a healthy, low LDL level is supported by a healthy level of salt in our system.To give you an idea of the scope of the study, within the study itself were included parameters already established for medical research.

Psychological and subjective parameters of the patients were achieved by using internationally accepted questionnaires such as the Swiss “Basler Well-Being Questionnaire” and the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index”. During the course of the nine-week study a total of 2,260 questionnaires with a total of 51,390 questions were answered by the patients and evaluated by independent university statisticians. In summary, Group 1, drinking FIJI Water alone, had the best sleeping quality and health recovery results. Further, due to the detoxification ability of the natural crystal salt solution, patients who drank the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt solution made with FIJI Water, felt that their physical, as well as their emotional beings, were being cleansed. Patients of Group 1 (FIJI Water only) and Group 3 (FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt solution), reported that they had more physical energy than before starting the study. Some patients reported that this increased energy level helped them to achieve success in their business endeavors. Their brain activity, together with their energy levels during recreation activities, and their general vitality, also increased. Some patients of Group 1 and Group 3 have reported that they had noticeable hair and nail growth during the study. Almost all patients in these two groups reported a better ability to concentrate.

Overweight patients lost an average of 4 kilograms (approx: 9 pounds) without any supplementary use or nutritional diets. Female patients of Group 1 and Group 3 reported that they had less pain during menstruation and almost no emotional exhaustion. One 47-year-old woman, who wished her whole life to become pregnant, became so during the study when drinking FIJI Water. This may be a coincidence, but patients also reported an increase in sexual activity.

Most of all, every single FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt patient reported what a delight it was to drink FIJI Water and take the crystal salt solution. And, aside from the positive health benefits they all attested to, there was the certain feeling of enhanced consciousness. After completing the study and the treatments, patients of Group 1 (FIJI Water only), and Group 3 (FIJI Water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt solution), reported the desire to continue to drink FIJI Water and use the crystal salt, not only for the pure, natural flavor, but more for the overall feeling of well-being. This desire was not reported from patients of Group 2 (tap water only), and Group 4, (tap water and common table salt).

Never before in the history of the Inter-University of Graz, Austria, was such a comprehensive and detailed research conducted in the areas of water and salt. Due to the enormous size of analyzed parameters and to the individual characteristics of this unique “Water and Salt” study, conducted under internationally accepted double-blind medical criteria, not all significant details are described within this general summary.
