The thing is Ken, the fish may not die immediately - I never said they would, but then we don't die immediately either. But the fish - like us, are much more prone to disease.
Real salt, with all it's nutrients intact, is very healing and antiseptic. How do we know that a deficiency in these things is not contributing to our failing health? Even doctors recommend salt water as a healing agent. But in refined and processed table salt we are not getting the 'full monty'. We are only getting what is left after they have extracted the minerals and trace elements for financial gain.
All I know it that since I have been 'taking the salt' - real Celtic unrefined sea salt my health has been improving - on top of removing the carbs. Many things cleared up after removing the carbs, but the salt is helping my body to heal.
All my external Candida and fungal issues have gone - these are issues that commonly plague not only Diabetics, but also people with compromised immune systems.
I am still working on Candida in my gut, but my diet is getting the better of that too and every day I am feeling a bit better.
Yeasts and fungus needs carbohydrate to feed on. The more carbohydrate we eat - and especially if we already have carb metabolism issues, which most, if not all Diabetics do, the more we encourage the growth of Candida and other fungus in and on our bodies.
I have been battling Candida and fungus all my adult life. Since long before I ever became Diabetic. Of course, being very hypoglycemic in my teen and young adult years was a sure indicator that I had carb metabolism issues way back then, but I didn't at the time understand why. The Candida was a bed-companion with the carb issues.
It is only now that I have got a handle on the carbs, that I am dealing with both of these issues - the Candida and the Carb metabolism.
We were never designed to eat this kind of food. We were never designed to eat this quantity of carbs and sugars - and especially refined, that flood - and overwhelm the gut with gluten and sugars. The fact that cultures that do not eat these foods are still pretty healthy, and cultures that do are becoming sicker and sicker is a sure indication.
The food manufacturers do not have our best interests at heart. It is all controlled by money and market forces and while we continue to eat the stuff they will continue to make it and sell it. Is it any coincidence that the fruit and veg takes up just two aisles in the Supermarket and the processed stuff takes up most of the rest!
I am not stupid, and I refuse to be taken in by it any more. It has damaged me and I will not let it damage me any more.
As a very wise woman has said - you can't get rid of the flies until you clear the manure pile. We get sick because our bodies are full of crud. If you want good plants you have to feed them lots of good nutrients - minerals and trace elements. If you want good animals you have to feed them good natural foods - grass fed beef, milk, butter etc. will always be superior to grain-fed.
We are no different. Much of what is sold now may contain calories, but we need nutrients too and lots of them, and the refined carbohydrate baked foods cannot supply enough, because the wheatgerm - the bit that contains most of the nutrients, is removed at source and given to pigs. Without those nutrients, the food is worthless and does far more harm than good. Much of it also contains chemicals and manipulated stuff that the body cannot process properly. We cannot keep throwing rubbish at it and assuming it will deal with it all! Sooner or later something has to give!
Without enough nutrients, the body keeps demanding food. What we feed it determines the degree of our health. Because I am eating a far more nutritionally rich diet I no longer need to eat as much food, and neither do I crave the carbohydrates any more.
As far as I am concerned, the evidence speaks for itself. you can throw up argument after argument and split hairs and be pedantic, but I know what I know. I, and too many others are proving it beyond doubt.
