Life is not possible without salt, but consumption of common salt is killing us. This is because regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt, it is mainly sodium chloride not natural crystal salt which consists of 84 elements.

How many should I consume?

 What are the Consequences of Table Salt consumption?

Apricot kernels should not be swallowed whole, they should be thoroughly chewed, or ground and sprinkled on food or in fruit juice. Apricot Kernels containing high levels of B17 such as the ones that we supply, are bitter, by mixing in Juices such as Apple and Peach the bitterness can be masked.

Consuming common table salt causes the formation of overly acidic edema, or excess fluid in the body tissue, which is also the cau/se of cellulite. That's why doctors tell us to avoid salt. For every .035 ounces of sodium chloride that cannot be eliminated, the body uses 23 times the amount of its own cell water to neutralize it. If the sodium chloride is still too high, re-crystallization of the table salt occurs as the body uses available non-degradable animal proteins (as those found in milk), which also have no value and cannot be broken down and eliminated.

How else can they be used?
