If you look at the Periodic Table of the elements, you will see that sodium, potassium, magnesium, and alkaline calcium are earth metals. By their positioning, you can tell how interrelated they are.
For example, sodium is number 11 on the periodic table indicating the number of protons in its nucleus. While magnesium is number 12 on the periodic table, only 1 more proton or hydrogen ion than sodium. Potassium is number 19 and calcium is number 20. These four elements are next to each other on the periodic table of minerals for good reason!
Over the years I have pondered the relationships between sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium and have come to the hypothesis that magnesium, potassium, and calcium are nuclear transformations of the sodium ion (11). This is important to understand when considering why our blood is salty with sodium and not magnesium, potassium, or calcium. Even the ocean is salty with sodium for very good reasons.
The verbal formula for my nuclear transformation hypothesis is as follows:
sodium (11) + hydrogen (1) magnesium (12) gold,
sodium (11) + oxygen (8) potassium (19) gold,
sodium (11) + hydrogen (1) + oxygen (8) calcium gold,
sodium (11) + oxygen (8) + hydrogen (1) calcium
As you can see, there are many variations on how the body can transform sodium into other alkaline elements it needs to maintain its alkaline design. Keep in mind that this transformation of elements is not a chemical reaction but a reaction, I call it vibrational intelligence.
The movement of a hydrogen ion towards the nucleus of a sodium ion is what gives rise to the alkaline element magnesium to help regulate the temperature of the body or even the ocean.
The movement of an oxygen ion towards the nucleus of a sodium ion is what gives rise to the alkaline element potassium to help regulate the delicate alkaline pH of the extracellular and intracellular fluids of the body.
The movement of a hydrogen ion towards the nucleus of a potassium ion is what gives rise to the alkaline element calcium. It is through the sodium ion in the blood that calcium is created to help keep our skeletal structure healthy and strong. In the ocean, it is the salt or sodium ion that gives rise to the calcium that produces coral calcium, which helps maintain the ocean’s alkaline design at pH 8.3.
You see, the nuclear transformation of sodium takes place every second of the day with any vibration or movement, like the athlete in motion, as the body uses sodium and hydrogen to regulate body temperature and keep it cool.
As one exercises and the body heats up, the body will naturally cool down by transforming sodium into magnesium. These transformations will result in a loss of sodium in the blood serum and an increase in magnesium in the urine. Because? Because the body is converting salt or sodium in the blood into magnesium to regulate body temperature! Without salt you CANNOT regulate your body temperature!
This same elemental transformation will take place when the body is trying to maintain its alkaline design at pH 7,365. When the body is physically or emotionally stressed, acid metabolic waste products will increase. As metabolic acids increase due to movement in the body, such as when you exercise or are stressed, such as when worrying about your finances, the body needs additional alkalinity to buffer the increase in endogenous acidity and will begin to convert salt or sodium in the blood to potassium.
This is why we see, in clients who are sick, tired, depressed or out of shape, a decrease in serum sodium and an increase in serum potassium.
Balancing the alkaline pH of body fluids and returning the body to a state of health, energy, happiness and fitness cannot be achieved without mineral salts and especially the fundamental sodium ion.
Without the salt running through our blood vessels and our oceans THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE ON EARTH!
Just one more thing to think about. As you know, most of the sodium comes to us in the form of sodium chloride. This is not a coincidence. When you eat salt or sodium chloride, the body separates these two ions. This is a question of chemistry. The sodium ion is used as I described above, but the chloride ion is used to build our blood. I give you the following verbal formula for the nuclear transformation of the chloride ion into iron:
chloride (17) + oxygen (8) + hydrogen from water (1) iron (26)
What I am suggesting is that salt or sodium chloride not only keeps your blood and body fluids alkaline, but also creates the iron needed to make hemoglobin or blood. So when someone is deficient in iron, they really are deficient in sodium chloride!
Limiting or eliminating salt from the diet is setting the stage for ALL disease and illness.
It’s not salt that causes high blood pressure. It is dietary and metabolic acid.
Salt is the life of the body! And, without generous amounts of whole, unprocessed salt, the body can’t keep up with the daily onslaught of dietary and metabolic acidity.
That is why I suggest eating plenty of alkalizing mineral salt and leaving acidic foods and drinks. When you do this, your health, energy, happiness, and fitness will improve naturally, without drugs!
