Celtic Salt
Let’s talk about Whole Mineral Salt, Celtic Salt!
Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
The First Four Vital Essentials In life are:
#1 Oxygen
#2 Water
#3 Sodium
#4 Potassium
Without these, we simply will not survive!
We cry salt.
We sweat salt.
We urinate salt.
In utero we swim in salt.
In fact, all animals especially farm animals must have minerals and salt to stay vibrant, healthy, and strong. Just ask any rancher, farmer, or herdsman.
Our very blood is almost identical to sea water. Dr. Schafer, in an article published by The New York Times, The Wonders of Blood states, “Not only is blood mostly water, but the very watery portion of blood, the plasma, has a concentration of salt and other ions that is remarkably similar to sea water.”
It has been said that during the war the Navy would use sea water during blood transfusions because its isotonic solution could be quickly converted by the human body.
The highest form of sodium on planet earth is found in seawater. Seawater contains 92 minerals. Of these minerals 50% is chloride and 30% is sodium. Because they are the most abundant minerals they are the first to be scooped up during the evaporation process, bleached, and then mixed with anti-caking agents and carcinogens (cancer causing ingredients) and other fillers. For example Yellow Prussiate of Soda or Ferrocyanide Decahydrate is added to generic everyday mainstream table salt and is a hydrated cyanide, but don’t worry it’s FDA approved 😳. This is what is known as Table Salt and this stuff is on nearly every restaurant table, in every pantry, and in nearly all fast-food, pre-packaged, and preservative filled food. Reference Morton’s Salt as an example. Table Salt is very dangerous. They have successfully taken 92 minerals and scaled them down to just 2, congratulations you have ruined our food yet again. Table Salt (Sodium, Chloride, & Chemicals) kill and dull the taste buds making true tastes void and flavorless. No wonder people don’t like the taste of vegetables! You know the guy at the table who can’t stop adding salt to his already very salty food—shake, shake, shake! This is the salt that has lost its savor and is good for nothing! The doctors are right, THIS salt is terrible! Table Salt will raise your blood pressure, and we should stop using it!
However, not all salt is bad. There are some salts that still have their savor. These are the top three whole salts I recommend:
#3
Redmonds Real Salt contains
60+ trace minerals. Some will argue it is the best because it has iodine, but unfortunately, it does not contain the RDA (recommended daily allowance). It only has 0.030000%, similar to all other trace mineral whole salts. Redmonds Real Salt is harvested from an ancient underground salt deposit in Utah.

If you need iodine in your daily diet I recommend taking kelp capsules or Mary Ruth’s Iodine drops. Also, lima beans, seaweed, cod, boiled eggs, strawberries, fresh squeezed apple juice, and prunes are rich in Iodine.
#2
Pink Himalayan Salt contains 75 minerals (some studies suggest less or more). Himalayan Salt comes from several different salt mines in Pakistan. It’s pretty and pink! Some environmentalists are worried we are harvesting too much and it’s hurting the earth.
#1
Celtic Salt contains 82 Minerals
Celtic Salt comes from evaporated sea/ocean water along the coast of France.
While there are many varieties of Celtic Salt to choose from, and each one harvested slightly differently than the other I like using the hand harvested Light Grey Celtic (like little crystals), Fine Ground Celtic, and the Kosher Celtic.

What makes Celtic Salt so unique is that it contains 3 magnesiums: Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Sulphate, and Magnesium Bromide; and because these minerals are buffered by 79 more minerals, they work together as the complete package to nourish the body. Did you know your bones aren’t just made up of calcium? They are made up of minerals!!! We need them! Magnesium plays a vital role in the human body and is responsible for over 400 enzyme functions, supporting muscle and nerve function, and energy production! Magnesium is especially crucial for someone with high blood pressure because it relaxes the heart. My favorite part about magnesium is it is a water seeking molecule. This is why Celtic Salt appears to be wet. The Magnesium is so intelligent that it will absorb the water from the air. Stay with me here this is incredible. The Intracellular (inside the cell) fluid makes up 60% of the total water in the human body. In order for water to access entry into our cells it must contain magnesium, and since magnesium seeks water the two form a symbiotic relationship. The cell says “hello magnesium, I need you” and magnesium says “hello cell, I need your water” thus the proper way to hydrate is with magnesium rich salt like Celtic Salt. This salt leads the way for all other 79 minerals to restore, nourish, heal, energize, and quench the body’s thirst. Lastly, although I could keep going, lol, every time you take in the magnesium and minerals, there is a little “spinner” in the cells bi-layer membrane that produces 1 unit of energy! According to the latest stats, we have nearly 40 trillion cells!!! So while others are reaching for their mineral leaching stimulant drinks you’re reaching for clean energy that only beautifies and heals the body. 40 trillion units of energy!!!
Do you see how people can become “waterlogged” or have massive amounts of water retention when they aren’t consuming the proper minerals necessary to hydrate the cell? People can drink water and still be dehydrated if they lack the minerals, especially magnesium.
How to take Celtic Salt:
Apply a few crystals to the tongue, this allows the mucas membranes to quickly absorb the salt. Next drink 4-8oz of water. Do this each time you have a glass of water. If you don’t have time for this than place your salt into your water container. One small pinch per 4 ounces. You should be drinking 64 ounces of water at least per day! Half your body weight is a good marker unless you are obese, than just stick to 64oz. Drinking water is non-negotiable, your body requires it! Remember the first 4 vital essentials to life are Oxygen, Water, Sodium, and Potassium. I’ll do a post on why water is absolutely vital and necessary soon.
Celtic Salt is incredible for constipation, illness, high blood pressure, diabetes, pregnancy, nursing, mineral deficiencies, swelling, inflammation, skin issues, staying hydrated, sports, swimming, exercise, workouts, working in the heat. It’s good for everything and every living being! We are made of salt and minerals!!! In fact, I put it in my duck’s, chicken’s, cat’s, and dog’s food!
Forget Liquid IV Water, forget Propel, forget Gatorade, forget Nuun, forget LMNT, forget all “hydrating” schemes by companies that are just selling refined sugar water with sodium, chloride, food “dies”, and chemicals, and just stick to Celtic Salt and Water. You need the complete mineral package! Those gimmicks will just aid in disease and dehydrate you further. If you just have to have something more drink organic coconut water or Hydrate by Laird.
Because our soil is depleted of minerals, our food is depleted of minerals, so it is necessary to make sure we are getting them into our diet via Celtic Salt.
God already knew how to take care of us, man cannot do it better than our Maker!
Psalm 95:5
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
Psalm 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Stay Salty!

Always research each company and draw your own conclusions to what is the best choice of salt for you and your family. When I can’t find the answer I call or email the company directly.
My family and I use Celtic Salt always with our water intake. I like Celtic Salt and Himalayan Salt for cooking.
Go read your salt ingredients and trash the toxic table salts if necessary! I prefer to reach for 82 and not 2 minerals plus chemicals.
What happened to the other 10 minerals? They are lost in the evaporation process due to their very picco proportions.
Magnesium supplements are great, but they do not replace the high mineral content found in Celtic Salt. Magnesium can also be found in dark leafy green vegetables! Eat your organic garden fresh vegetables!
Not used to eating salt? Start small.
Mineral counts are approximate and seem to vary study to study.

What about Microplastics?
The only issue with sea water or ocean water is that it contains microplastics. Because of this the fish, the seaweed, every ocean being, and the salt all have minuscule amounts of microplastics. However, plastics which break up into microplastics are everywhere, breast implants, makeup, toothbrushes, fake nails, clothing, soaps, fragrances, water bottles, pens, packaging, shoes, it’s everywhere! While some can be avoided altogether it’s nearly impossible to be rid of all plastic. Once I was giving a lecture at a restaurant on Celtic Salt and a gentleman asked me if I was concerned with the microplastics that could be in the Celtic Salt. I reminded him that the plastic straw, and cup he was drinking from was probably more dangerous for his health than a pinch of Celtic Salt, but we must choose our battles. I choose to consume Celtic Salt and drink from a glass or a stainless steel cup and refrain from plastic straws. I try my best to reduce my family’s daily unnecessary use of plastics. We aren’t 100% but we do our best each day. Always do what’s best for you and your family.
Never Fear, Cholesterol is here!
Cholesterol is not a bad guy!
In fact, the bad wrap it gets is misleading.
Cholesterol is a waxy steroid substance made by the liver in the body; made with a purpose, as all things God made are. Every wall around your cells are made of cholesterol. Every nerve is wrapped with an insulation of cholesterol and 75% of our brain’s white matter is made of cholesterol. We also need cholesterol (that awaits under our skin) to convert sunshine into Vitamin D3! Cholesterol is even responsible for making sex hormones like testosterone and progesterone and stress hormones like cortisol.
Here’s the real story…
As free radicals (aka toxins found in wrong food choices, GMO foods, refined sugar, glyphosate sprayed oats, hybrid wheat, nitrates in meat, heavy metal infused water, air pollution, antibiotic-filled dairy, medications, etc,) enter the blood stream, they cause inflammation and oxidative damage in the arteries. When this happens the artery wall begins to tear, so instead of the body letting you bleed to death, it sends its first responders, who are very skilled in emergency situations…can you guess what that hero is called? Cholesterol!!! It’s perfectly designed nature rushes to patch the holes like a band-aid to prevent death. Atherosclerosis is the build up of this cholesterol plague inside the artery over a period of time, and when the artery gets too many toxins with too many “cholesterol band-aids” it becomes stopped up, which then backs up and stops blood flow, leading to the death of heart tissue, and a heart attack happens.
I’ve heard it like this, “To say cholesterol is bad is like saying firemen rushing to put out a fire are to blame,” so if the house burns down the firemen are at fault. Ludicrous, right?! They’re there to rescue you! Cholesterol is there to save you from your bad lifestyle choices, and from those you can’t control.
The misleading information that cholesterol is bad and should be demolished is a big time pharmaceutical propaganda push! Why? Because they want people staying sick and spending money on toxic statin drugs of course!
How do you balance your cholesterol?
#1. Stop eating garbage. 🗑
#2. Start eating real food. 🥗
#3. Increase your consumption of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances found in dark leafy green vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Bioflavonoids, Carotenoids, Terpenoids, etc., that can prevent and slow down free radicals from accumulating and causing inflammation and oxidative damage in the body. Picture if you will antioxidants entering the body with fighting gloves on knocking free radicals out 😵💫🥊!
#4. Take Selenium because it increases the affectiveness of antioxidants, and it can recycle and re-use the antioxidant rather than the body just using the antioxidant once.
#5. Exercise.
#6. Drink plenty of water. Approximately 64oz daily with a pinch of Celtic salt per 8oz. Celtic salt contains 85 minerals that your body requires to build strong bones and function properly. Water is the #1 most effective blood thinner in the world!
By doing the above and maintaining a healthy lifestyle the body will naturally balance cholesterol just the way God designed and intended it too.
Say “Hi” to cholesterol and “Bye” to
self-sabotage and free radicals!
Take responsibility for what you put in your body.

Soy or No Soy?
It’s the classic scenario with most food these days, that which God has made good, Man has manipulated and ruined. Here’s what you should know about soy.
100% organic soy is good! The problem is most soy is now GMO, a genetically modified organism engineered to withstand the numerous Roundup applications it will receive before harvest. Roundup is known for its lethal herbicide, glyphosate. In order for the weeds to die and the plant to survive the soy been must be sourced from a GMO “roundup ready” seed. The body cannot recognize GMO food, because it is outside God’s perfect design for the body’s nourishment and well-being. It is in these toxic applications that when consumed the chemicals disrupt the endocrine system and directly effect the hormones. What is the endocrine system? The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones. The major glands that make up the endocrine system are:
hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, the ovaries, and the testes. What are some of the most common problems in our health today? Thyroid, adrenals, infertility, PCOS, cognition, neurological function…do you see the link!
When organic soy enters the body it is polite. Picture if you will the soybean holding a tray of estrogen and knocking on the cell well? “Excuse me, would you like some estrogen?” If the cell is low on estrogen it will happily take some, if the cell has enough estrogen it will say no thank you and the estrogen will move on to the next cell keeping the body in perfect harmony and balance—this is called synergism. You see, natural soy works with the body unlike manipulated GMO soy. Now, manipulated GMO soy is covered in chemicals and is quite rude! Picture if you will a tyrant barging into the body, forcing open the cell wall and making it take xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogen is the manipulated version of estrogen. They’re the estrogens found in chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, polyester, plastics, etc. These xenoestrogens are the enemy. They are false estrogens, bullying the entire endocrine system, and causing mayhem in the body and each cell.
So, to say all soy is bad is simply untrue.
You see, 100% organic soy that God made is good, it is the sabotaged soybean covered in chemicals that wrecks and destroys the body’s natural function and design.
Closing thoughts and answers to commonly asked questions:
-Estrogen levels do not rise in the body because of organic estrogen but because of the overwhelming amount of xenoestrogens found in chemicals that are consumed daily in our food, worn daily on our clothing, and used daily in everyday plastics.
-God’s estrogen does not cause cancer!
-It is okay for men and boys to eat organic soy due to the very minuscule amounts of estrogen found in soy and because the body will only take what it needs.
-Types of popular soy are Tofu and Edamame. Just read those “other ingredients” and make sure you’re not getting other unwelcome ingredients in your body like refined sugar, hybrid gluten, and preservatives.
-Glyphosate is toxic and should be avoided at all costs especially when using roundup and unknowingly consuming roundup via foods that have been purposely sprayed and ground/drinking water that has been contaminated. You’re not just killing weeds when you spray this around your home or workplace. Glyphosate has been directly linked to many different cancers, including endocrine cancers, breast cancer, non-hodgkins lymphoma, and more.
-Look out, especially, for soybean oil in your food, because it’s in everything, most commonly cookies, cereals, baked goods, and dressings!
-Choose organic foods that are
Non-GMO. All organic food is Non-GMO.
-Flax Seeds are very good for you, and as long as they’re organic you’re body will manage the phytoestrogens (phytoestrogens are naturally found in many plants not just flaxseeds).
Let’s live an incredible healthy life full of wisdom and rich healing foods just the way God intended!

My Body Was Made by God to Heal
Repeat after me, “my body was made to heal itself”.
So why are so many sick?
In the words of the late Rudyard Kipling in the first stanza, I Keep Six Honest Serving Men...
“I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.”
So ask yourself…
WHAT is keeping me from healing?
WHY am I not healing?
WHEN did I start feeling ill?
HOW did I become sick?
WHERE did this illness begin?
WHO is keeping me from healing?
The first step to finding your answers starts with eating right. If you want to heal, and heal quickly, remove all refined sugar, all hybrid wheat, and all dairy! This will cost you a whopping $0.00! Eat to live! Eat foods that are alive! Eat organic fruits, organic vegetables, organic legumes, organic seeds, organic nuts, ancient grains, sourdough breads, and the list goes on.
Your body is beautiful, your body is wonderful, your body is marvellous! Let your body show you just how miraculous it was made to be!
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14
Now, repeat after me, “God made my body to heal under the right circumstances, with the right ingredients, and correct resources.”

Juice? But Why?
Here are some of my favorite reasons to juice…
🧃Juicing gives you natural energy!
🧃Juicing is the fastest way to get readily available, non-fortified, highly concentrated amounts of vitamins, minerals, nutrients, phytonutrients, enzymes, and minerals, to the 100 trillion plus cells waiting patiently to be nourished and to regenerate.
🧃Juicing is alkalizing and fights disease. Disease cannot tolerate a healthy alkaline environment; it prefers an extremely acidic environment (fast food, processed foods, rancid oils, preservatives, cane sugar, etc).
🧃Juicing fights cancer! My dad drank 64 ounces of fresh organic juice each day as part of his natural healing protocol to heal his body from Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which is 100% gone, thank you God and Jesus Christ! It’s crucial that you do the possible to heal so God and Christ can do the impossible for you!
🧃Juicing encourages weight loss and reduces inflammation.
🧃Juicing slows and reverses aging reducing oxidative stress. Your skin will start to take on an incredible glow, your hair and nails will grow and thicken, and your eyes will have a new sparkle. Don’t believe me? Be your own proof and try it! Just be ready for all the compliments coming your way. People will notice.
🧃Juicing keeps you regular, and reduces risk of constipation 😉😉🚽.
🧃Juicing is a great way to get your kiddos or husband 🤫 to get in those much needed greens.
🧃Juicing is customizable according to your body’s unique needs, i.e. an athlete may want to juice beets for better performance while someone who is low in iron may want to increase dark leafy greens like spinach.
❤️🩹 If you or someone you know has any type of cancer, more specifically stomach cancer, colon cancer, or intestinal cancer, etc, I highly suggest giving the digestive track a break and juicing!
❤️🩹 If you or someone you know has diabetes, I recommend juicing lower glycemic fruits, vegetables, and herbs like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, green apples, lemon, turmeric, chard, spinach, kale, cucumbers, ginger, turmeric, and add a sprinkle of Ceylon Cinnamon. Start with 4oz, and work your way to 16oz. Pay close attention to the affect it causes on your blood sugar levels and stop if your levels become irregular.
🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃
I like using the Breville brand of juicers. I’ve gone through many juicers and this is by far my favorite brand to use.
Remember all things in moderation, make sure to still get plenty of fiber in your diet.
Make sure to choose all organic fruits and vegetables, or follow EWG’s dirty dozen and clean 15 guide for easy pesticide free shopping.
https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php
What to do with the pulp?
We like giving our juice pulp to our chickens, freezing them and throwing them in a smoothie for later, adding to banana bread, composting or making a “pulp dessert” recipe coming soon.
Now go break out your juicers or come to our OK B Healthy ♥️ Storefront for a fresh organic Hippie Juice if you don’t feel like washing your juicer 😂.

Bring On The Unknown
As many of you know we are a military family. Due to the mandate that all USAF active duty must be fully vaccinated by 2 November 2021, we have decided, at the expense of all worldly and material costs, we will not take the vaccine. This is a shame, because the military, in general, doesn’t realize what true patriots they will be losing. We also decided we will not submit a religious exemption waiver. Only GOD knows the heart of a man. What gives man the right to decide whose religious letter is better than another mans? I know we are not alone, and I pray for all other families and individuals having to make life changing choices in only a matter of a few days. This is not about vaccinated verses non-vaccinated. I have many friends who in their hearts felt at ease getting vaccinated; as is their choice and none of my business, and I love them dearly 😘. My heart also grieves with those who have lost loved ones.
For those like us who feel uneasy about being forced to be vaccinated or be terminated know this...
♥️ God Is Our Sufficiency
2 Corinthians 3:5
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
♥️Don’t Worry About Tomorrow
Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof (today has enough problems).
♥️God will take care of You
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
♥️God is with you; don’t be afraid
Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
♥️God will fight for you
Exodus 14:14
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
♥️Keep God’s words in the midst of your heart
Proverbs 4:20-23
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
♥️There’s no better time to trust God than when in trouble and facing the unknown.
Psalm 27:5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock.
We talked it over as a family and said, “What’s the worst that can happen, we lose all the things we can’t take with us anyway? Take it all!” We’ll keep our rights, the very reason our forefathers and military have fought, died, and swore to protect.
Ironic, isn’t it?
