Salt in the Water? What about Gold?

Setting aside the recent humor that said “Water is gold” and that “Water is the new Oil” there is much to learn - and use -from what is commonly called Sea Water. Sea Water, or ocean water, contains a myriad of elements in varying amounts. Some of it is recoverable and can be obtained from the effort of desalination while providing clean drinking water.

But gold? Well, it is surely there together with practically every other element we know about. (When the Lorson companies were at their early days the table of known elements was 90 or so. It is now at least 118 and growing.)

Of course the main elements found in the ocean are Oxygen, Hydrogen, Chlorine and Sodium with minor amounts of Magnesium, Sulfur, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine and Carbon. These are followed by a skillion tiny amounts of the rest of the elements – including gold!

Just to put things in perspective, one would have to process 1,000 tons of sea water to obtain 1 gram of gold. Not a very likely cause for a gold rush. Not for gold itself, but wait – sea water itself might be considered a form of gold by being the source of a number of elements vital to human life.

As Darwin pointed out, evolution is no accident. This becomes clearer when looking at the Major elements contained in the human body: Magnesium, Sulfur, Calcium, Phosphorous, Sodium, and Chlorine. Sound familiar? These are followed by micro amounts of Iron, Copper, Manganese, Iodine and many others.

So we come to the gold value of sea water. That would, of course, be the use of Sea Salt as a commercial product. And we also come to an argument with the AMA in its total condemnation of the excessive (!) use of salt.

So it becomes necessary to distinguish between “table salt” which is “highly refined, chemically cleansed and unfriendly to the human body” and “unrefined sea salt, a naturally occurring complex of sodium chloride, which includes major minerals such as calcium and magnesium and a complete complement of essential trace minerals, This is the form of salt the body is designed to utilize – having been the salt choice since humans first walked the earth. On the other hand refined table salt is a modern invention….the human body doesn’t like it.” All this according to Saltistry of Los Angeles CA., peppered with a little common sense.
