I've bought mine from here:
http://www.saltworks.us/wholesale-bulk-gourmet-sea-salt.asp
I got the Himalayan Pink 5lb bag. Its lasted me quite awhile. We use it for directly seasoning, for salt in cooking we still use the hyper-processed stuff. I need to buy more though as ours is nearly gone.
That site has pretty much any kind of salt you could ever want...even 55lb bags of it.

How did I know some of you would already be all over this. ;)
Stuff is amazing. Ancient sea bed salt deposits time capsuled inside the Himalayas.
I was already using all natural coarse Sicilian sea salt, which I thought was really good, but this salt kicks it a**.
"1. What are the main benefits of Himalayan Crystal Salt?
It has a unique health-enhancing composition; an ionized colloidal form, which allows for optimum mineral absorption.
It contains up to 84 minerals and trace elements, which are found in our bodies. These minerals tend to increase energy levels by supplying our cells with necessary nutrients.
It is an all-natural, unrefined form of salt with absolutely no additives, making it the most natural source of mineral intake available.
It is uncontaminated by today’s environment.
2. Do I really need salt in my diet?
Yes, you cannot live without it! Our bodies require 0.007 oz of salt per day. Ironically, most of us suffer from a lack of salt, even though we are over saturated with sodium chloride (refined salt). When our daily consumption of salt is less than 0.007 oz, salt craving kicks in.
3. Does Himalayan Crystal Salt have healing benefits?
Himalayan Crystal Salt was well known and used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicines. For centuries, the energy/information content in the form of vital mineral elements locked away within these perfectly formed crystals of mineral-rich salt, were used by doctors for treating almost every disorder known to humans.
Himalayan Crystal Salt delivers the entire mineral spectrum our body needs. The minerals in this Crystal Salt are present in a colloidal form. This means that minerals found in Himalayan Crystal Salt such as Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium and Selenium as well as trace elements, are readily available to the body in the exact balanced proportion for optimum absorption.
5. What makes Himalayan Crystal Salt different from table salt?
Unfortunately, refined table salt is basically an industrial waste product, with only two of the original elements remaining (sodium and chloride). It has no nutritional value for our bodies. In addition, most of today’s sea salt is also refined and processed, which in turn removes essential minerals. Himalayan Crystal Salt is raw and unprocessed, as well as uncontaminated by today’s environment. It is very unique in its composition compared to all other type of salts: all of its minerals and trace elements are interactive with each other, and easily metabolized by the body. See images of the molecular difference for yourself!
6. Is there any other salt similar to Himalayan Crystal Salt?
Similar deposits of salt exist in many places in the world but Himalayan salt is the only one formed under such circumstances. Sheltered from any traces of atmospheric pollution, it is extremely pure. Himalayan Salt is extracted manually and packed on site without any treatment whatsoever.
Himalayan Crystal Salt is the most rare and precious form of natural salt. It was formed millions of years ago, under the pressure of the Himalayan Mountains where ancient seas have dried up from the energy of the sun. This enormous pressure changed the molecular structure of the rock salt deposits, trapping the sun’s energy (bio-photons) and making it the best quality Crystal Salt in the world. Himalayan Crystal Salt was formed 250 million years ago when the Himalayan Mountains rose up out of the primitive ocean that nearly covered the entire surface of the planet. It is the mineral memory of that original sea. Himalayan salt comes from a low-lying region situated in the first foothills of the Himalayas, over an area of approximately 200 square miles, in the northwest of Pakistan. The sea covering this region evaporated due to climatic changes. Powerful tectonic movements gave rise to the Himalayan range. The enormous pressure accompanying the buckling of the Earth’s crust provoked the formation of cubic crystalline structures comparable to those of precious stones (from a bio-energetic point of view). The deposits of salt from this ancient ocean are found high in the Himalayan range but also 1200 to 2000 feet below the surface. Himalayan Crystal Salt is the most beneficial, cleanest salt available on this planet, where the energy of the sun has dried up the original, primitive ocean millions of years ago. It is absolutely pristine and natural, identical to the ancient primal ocean. As in Quinton’s Plasma and T.J. Clark’s source in Utah, it contains all the elements found in our bodies.
8. How does the structure of Himalayan Crystal Salt impact its absorbability?
This translucent crystal has a perfect geometrical structure: ionized colloidal. As a result, all of its minerals and trace elements are totally absorbed by our bodies. Compared to ordinary sea salt under a microscope, we can see that the elements of Himalayan Crystal Salt are perfectly linked to the crystal itself, while in ordinary sea salt they are dispersed without any links."

Started making my own "sports" drink per se. Why drink plain water, when you can make supercharged water?
Try this: Take organic green tea (Try the stuff from Ceylon mountains...(delicious) ...this place is absolutely gorgeous btw).
3 tea bags in a large mug of boiling water, steep them for a few hours, then squeeze every last drop out of them, a few times. Milk em for all they're worth.
Pour that into 2 liters of pure water, add 1 tsp or tbsp of raw honey, and about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp of pink Himalayan salt.
Been drinking this for a week in the sauna after my workouts. Great stuff.

Good call on the salt. Classic case of relative vs absolute value. Relatively, it's a lot more expensive than normal salt. In the absolute sense however, salt is dirt cheap to begin with, so it doesn't make sense not to use this stuff for something that's so fundamental.

i notice in the winter, i seem to crave salt and fat.
i just bought some potato chips and a roll of winter sausage.
for me those are luxuries. but i was craving them so ...
i wonder if it has to do with the weather being cold and also an increased activity level.
as far as the salt - sodium is highly reactive. my guess is, much of the salt on planet earth is about as old as the planet itself.

I had one of these salt crystal lamps. When it's heated with light on it generates negative ions. Negative ions attach to air particulates, causing them to aggregate and fall out of the air and stick onto surfaces. The particles would stick to my cat and she started to look like a dust buny with legs. My cat pissed on the salt lamp, causing an electrical short that exploded my service board and damaged the main transformer to the house. It's a great product.

Got my rock salt lamps, not sure how to describe the air after lighting them up for a day. I can't really believe they do shit but the air I breathe seems cleaner. They do look awesome though, never saw a rock emitting light lol. Says it is a 15 watt bulb in there, hardly enough to heat the thing since this place is kept cold so it might be better if it gets warmer. I have licked the thing in an effort to confirm it is salt, very salty so I guess that has been debunked. I wouldn't say it filters the air but it does do something, not sure exactly what tho. Nose is clear which is unusual. Strange. I'll post back if I find any revelations.

Real Salt, Celtic Salt and Himalayan Salt
Posted by Dr Sircus on February 5, 2013 | Filed under Medicine (http://drsircus.com/category/medicine), Salt (http://drsircus.com/category/medicine/salt)

This is what real salt looks like—we all know what regular white salt looks like—and we mistakenly think it is real salt when it is not. The fact is that refined white salt, such as commercial table salt is bad, very bad stuff. Unrefined natural salt on the other hand is good, very good stuff providing many health benefits.
Unrefined sea salt is healthy. The blood-pressure-raising effect of table salt can be due to its high content of sodium with not enough magnesium to balance it. This has a magnesium-lowering effect that can constrict the arteries and raise blood pressure. Real salt (of various kinds) contains plenty of magnesium and other important minerals, which is why it usually does not affect blood pressure in a negative way.[1] (http://drsircus.com/medicine/salt/real-salt-celtic-salt-and-himalayan-salt#_edn1)
Sodium is an essential nutrient required by the body for maintaining levels of fluids and for providing channels for nerve signaling. Some sodium is needed in your body to regulate fluids and blood pressure, and to keep muscles and nerves running smoothly.
Without appropriate amounts of sodium, your body may have a difficult time cooling down after intense exercise or activity. When the body is hot, you sweat. If you do not have enough sodium, your body may not sweat as much and you may then become overheated. This could result in a stroke or exhaustion as well as dehydration.
Sodium is an energy carrier. It is also responsible for sending messages from the brain to muscles through the nervous system so that muscles move on command. When you want to move your arm or contract any muscle in your body, your brain sends a message to a sodium molecule that passes it to a potassium molecule and then back to a sodium molecule etc., etc., until it gets to its final destination and the muscle contracts. This is known as the sodium-potassium ion exchange (http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=swf::535::535::/sites/dl/free/0072437316/120068/bio03.swf::Sodium-Potassium%20Exchange%20Pump). Therefore, without sodium, you would never be able to move any part of your body.
Excess sodium (such as that obtained from dietary sources) is excreted in the urine.[2] (http://drsircus.com/medicine/salt/real-salt-celtic-salt-and-himalayan-salt#_edn2) Most of the sodium in the body (about 85%) is found in blood and lymph fluid (http://www.webmd.com/hw-popup/lymphatic-system). Sodium levels in the body are partly controlled by a hormone called aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands (http://www.webmd.com/hw-popup/adrenal-glands-8428). Aldosterone levels determine whether the kidneys hold sodium in the body or pass it into the urine.
Dr. David Brownstein weighs in heavily on this matter saying, “Nobody makes a distinction between unrefined and refined salt. They ‘lump’ all salt together as a bad substance. This is a terrible mistake. There are two forms of salt available in the market place: refined and unrefined. Refined salt has had its minerals removed and has been bleached to give it the white appearance that we are accustomed to seeing with salt. It is the fine, white salt that is available at almost any restaurant or grocery store. Refined salt has been bleached and exposed to many toxic chemicals in order to get it to its final product. It has aluminum, ferrocyanide, and bleach in it. I believe this refining process has made it a toxic, devitalized substance that needs to be avoided.”
http://cdn3.drsircus.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/newsletter_clip_image004.jpg
http://www.drbrownstein.com/Salt-Your-Way-to-Health-p/salt.htm
“Unrefined salt, on the other hand,” Brownstein continues, “has not been put through a harsh chemical process. It contains the natural minerals that were originally part of the product. Its mineral content gives it a distinct color. The colors of unrefined salt can vary depending on where it is taken from. This is due to the changing mineral content of the various brands of salt. It is the minerals in unrefined salt that provide all the benefits of this product. The minerals supply the body with over 80 trace elements needed to maintain and sustain health. Furthermore, the minerals elevate the pH (correct acidity) and lower blood pressure. Our maker gave us salt to use in our diet—unrefined salt—with its full complement of minerals. It should be the salt of choice. It is a vital ingredient that needs to be part of everyone’s diet.”
Dr. Brownstein says, “Years ago salt manufacturers decided that pure white salt is prettier than off-white salt and that consumers prefer pretty white salt. So they started bleaching it. They also added anti-clumping agents to increase its shelf life. The problem is that the chemicals added to keep salt from absorbing moisture on the shelf interfere with one of salt’s main functions: to regulate hydration in your body. The sodium chloride in table salt is highly concentrated, denatured, and toxic to your body. Ever put salt on an open cut? It burns!!! Refined salt has the same effect on internal tissues and causes a negative reaction: your body retains water to protect itself, and your cells release water to help dilute, neutralize, and break down the salt. This loss of water dehydrates and weakens your cells and can even cause them to die prematurely. Natural sea salt is far superior to chemically-treated iodized table salts as it contains all 92 trace minerals, and it’s only 84% sodium chloride while table salt is almost 98%".
All this adds up to one thing. Table salt, whether marine or not, is toxic—it’s poisonous to the body and is responsible, in great part, to the onset of many terrible diseases including thyroid and metabolic dysfunction.

Celtic Sea Salt 22-pound bag (http://shoppingcart.purehealthsystems.com/?Click=6279) is $88.00.
In addition to sodium and chloride, Celtic Sea Salt® provides other nutrients that naturally occur in salt beds, including trace amounts of calcium, magnesium potassium, iron and zinc.
In accordance with standards set by The World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization, independent analysis indicates that levels of heavy metals are non-detectable (e.g. arsenic, cadmium, mercury) or well below published safe limits in Celtic Sea Salt®. Perhaps most importantly, Celtic Sea Salt® is not exposed to refinement and bleaching used to manufacture typical table salt and there are no additives. Celtic Sea Salt® is harvested from the ocean using the sun, the wind and shallow clay ionizing ponds, a method passed down through the generations.
Many Americans over consume refined salt by eating processed foods, fast foods and canned foods with salt added. Celtic Sea Salt® is a good alternative as part of a healthier diet. Recommended use is a half teaspoon per day.
Himalayan Salt
http://cdn3.drsircus.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/newsletter_clip_image010.jpg (https://www.himalayansaltcart.com/jamaff/jrox.php?id=1074_1_tlid_1%22)
Available in 1 kg or 5 kg bags (https://www.himalayansaltcart.com/jamaff/jrox.php?id=1074) and in salt chunks for Sole
Himalayan crystal salt that is mined 5,000 feet deep below the Himalayan mountain range was subject to enormous pressure over millions of years and is over 99% pure. The higher the amount of pressure the more superior or excellent the state of order within the crystalline structure of salt. Many Himalayan salts are sold cheaply but are collected from higher up near the tops of the Himalayan Mountains instead of from the deeper mines. These salts contain more impurities, do not have the same structure and are not as easily assimilable by the body.
Himalayan salt contains 84 minerals and trace elements in ionic state and is a delightful pink color. People often state that they use less of this salt than of other types. Many sizes are available from 3 oz in a salt grinder to larger 1-kg bags (2.2 lb). Salt chunks are also available for making your own “sole,” which is a saturated solution of purified water with Himalayan salt. A specific recipe (see below) must be followed to make sole and results in a solution that has much less sodium than just adding salt to water would have. Daily use of sole is believed to stimulate the peristalsis of the digestive organs, balance the stomach acid, support the production of digestive fluids in the liver and pancreas, regulate the metabolism and harmonize the acid-alkaline balance.
Start Each Day with a Healthy Sole
The ideal way to use Himalayan Crystal Salt is in the form of a sole (so-LAY). Drinking the sole when you awake each morning is like getting up on the right side of the bed. It provides the energizing minerals you need daily to recharge your body, and it helps set the stage for a day of vitality.
Essentially, a sole is water saturated with Himalayan Crystal Salt. The sole contains about approximately 26 parts of salt to 100 parts of water. Prepare the water and salt combination in advance (see directions to the right). Each morning place a teaspoon of the sole mixture in a glass and fill with 8 ounces of pure spring water. Drink it immediately or sip it while getting dressed, checking emails or preparing breakfast. The water helps transport the electrolytes throughout the body to all the many places they are needed.
How to Prepare Sole
Sole is a mixture of water and salt. The object is to saturate the water with dissolved salt so it can’t hold anymore. You’ll know that you’ve created sole when there are undissolved salt crystals in the water. You can’t oversaturate the water with salt. The crystals will simply drop to the bottom of the container.
Place several Himalayan Crystal Salt stones or Himalayan Crystal Salt granules about an inch deep in a glass container. (A canning jar works well.)
Cover the salt with two to three inches of pure, spring water. Let the salt dissolve for 24 hours.
If all the salt dissolves in 24 hours, add more salt to the container. The sole is finished when the water can no longer dissolve the salt and the salt crystals drop to the bottom of the container. There will always be salt crystals in the jar. It doesn’t matter if you have only a few crystals or many. The water is saturated and is now sole.
Cover the container to prevent the water from evaporating. Since salt is a natural preservative, the sole will keep forever. It can’t spoil or go “bad.”
The vibrational energy of the Himalayan Crystal Salt remains in your body for 24 hours.
A teaspoon of sole contains 480 mg of sodium, or 20% of the Daily Reference Value of 2400 mg based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet.

Redmond Real Salt (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054RS3D0/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0054RS3D0&linkCode=as2&tag=intermedicver-20%22%3ERedmond) is mined in the United States and is another good unrefined salt that I also recommend. It can be used as a table salt and for cooking and is available in coarse and fine grinds and in a variety of sizes.
Real Salt comes from a mineral rich salt deposit formed by an ancient sea in Utah. It contains 62 trace minerals, and is without additives, chemicals, or heat processing of any kind. Real Salt’s unique pinkish appearance and flecks of color come from the more than 60 naturally occurring trace minerals. The result is a delicate “sweet salt” flavor that you may not have experienced before.
Special Note: I was very disappointed to hear Dr. Max Gerson’s daughter Charlotte Gerson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FIUjezVfmEY%20simoncini%20and) saying, “That sodium is never good, never in any form!” I have put Gerson in the best light in my writings and his organization does hold the high ground for organic raw juicing but there are some things they say that have no grounding in medical science or clinical reality. Talk to Dr. David Brownstein and he will tell you that often the first thing a patient needs is water and salt but its real salt not table salt he is talking about and prescribing for his patients.
I have written a full essay addressing this communication from Charlotte. And I have another essay on using seawater as a medicine and that will be seen in my Treatment Essentials book that is now finished and ready for publication on the 15th of February. To even think of discounting the medical miracles from the sea, which Charlotte is clearly doing, makes me shudder.

The movement of sodium is critical in the generation of these electrical signals. Too much or too little sodium therefore can cause cells to malfunction, and extremes in the blood sodium levels (too much or too little) can be fatal
