Salt Is Life

Harvested from the sea or wrested from the earth, salt would appear to be one of the humblest
commodities. Yet the sodium it contains is a life-sustaining element.

Sodium chloride is essential in the nutrition and physiological processes of all animals including man.
From long before the first written word, there are repeated references in records and stories to the
importance of salt as an essential in the daily diet.

Salt has not only ensured the survival of mankind, but colored the species food, religions, politics and
superstitions. In ancient times, because of its power to preserve and purify, salt was spilled upon legal
documents to symbolize enduring agreement and freedom from deceit. Mans effort to obtain salt can
be traced back through history for salt has always been essential to human life. Salt is more precious
to men than gold.

Ancient manuscripts tell us that more than 5000 years ago the Chinese obtained salt by boiling and
evaporating the ash from seaweed. Later, people along the Mediterranean and Red Seas discovered
that when seawater was evaporated by the sun, salt was left behind. This was the start of salt
manufacturing and the same method of solar evaporation is used today in the production of many
salts around the world.

Roman legionnaires who guarded the Via Solaria, one of the most famous military roads in history,
received part of their pay in salt, their 'salarium.' From this came the modern word 'salary.'

To this day a good man is 'worth his salt' and we take others' dramatic pronouncements 'with a pinch
of salt.'

Many of salt's applications, including salting of fish and meat to preserve it, have remained almost
unchanged down through the millennia. Its place in our superstitions and sayings remains entrenched.
Enshrined in the World's many cultures and a vital part of global economies, salt is as essential to life
as the air we breathe and the water we drink.

Surely there can be no product purer, more natural or environmentally friendly than salt - pure salt
water provided and evaporated by Nature, harvested to perfection by Man.

Making salt in open pans is not new. In Mark Kurlansky's recent book, Salt A World History, he
suggests that in 450 B.C. a Chinese called Yi Duan 'is believed to have made salt by boiling brine in
iron pans, an innovation which would become one of the leading techniques for salt making for the
next 2,000 years.' Rapid boiling is still used today but the open pans have been replaced by closed
vessels, outputs have increased and the salt these plants produce has a uniform cubic crystal shape.

In a move back to the open evaporating pans of the past, Dr. Robert O. Young has developed the
Great Salt Lake North Shore salt beds. The raw material for this salt is the combination of the snow
melt run off from the Rocky Mountains in northern Utah and the salty North Shore waters of the Great
Salt Lake at the base of the Rocky Mountains. These waters are evaporated using the natural
processes of sun and wind. From this, a colloidal salt is produced to feed the open evaporating salt
beds for making the worlds only 26% colloidal liquid mineral salt we call Young pHorever pH Miracle
