Question Number Three: Salt!

[Colin2000]

Hi All,

Question Number Three is: SALT!

You know that white stuff that Government medical civil servants want to ban and cut right down in our food!

If you didn't take salt you would eventually die!

Salt is,  Alexander Cruden says:  "This was even more indispensable to the Hebrews than to us, as they used it as an antidote to the effects of the heat of the climate on animal food, and it also was used in the sacrifices.
They had an inexhaustible and ready supply of it on the southern shores of the Salt Sea, now called the Dead Sea.
Salt symbolised hospitality, durability and purity.  To eat the salt of the king was to owe him the utmost fidelity.  To eat bread and salt together was to make an unbreakable league of friendship."
[Cruden's Complete Concordance to the Old and New Testaments, Lutterworth Press, London. 1737/1977,  Ed's.C.H.Irwin, A.D.Adams, S.A.Waters, P560.]

Yet we are told that salt is bad for us.  I don't believe it do you?

Yours in His Everlovingtenderkindness,

Colin.

Hi All,

A very late addition to above  was set going by that press report today on salt!

What set me off here was my understanding of salt in electrical engineering and my assumption that if you do not take in an adequate supply of daily salt the nerve-paths themselves may cease to function properly.

The signals in the path-ways/chemical-wires perhaps not getting through to the brain or back from the brain to the muscle etc. through low levels of salt caused by political tampering with our food, misguided or otherwise??? .... !

Yours in Christ,

Colin.

I do.
But it depends on the state of your vascular system.

Salt (NcCl) is necessary but to a point.
Also, magnesium, potassium, calcium.
Without them, your heart would stop.

Hi Ruth,

Our prepared food is overloaded with salt and sugar which means we get too much.  Was looking to buy rye bread, only Levy's Real Jewish Rye did not contain high fructose corn syrup..Canned foods contain a lot of salt, 2 cups of soup gave you a days supply :rolleyes5:Really, eating hot dogs and salted potato chips is loaded with nitrates, nitrites, salt and more salt. Cooking tasty food helps you to kick the salt and sugar habit. Ketchup is all sugar and salt and the assorted other condiments.Iodized sea salt is first pick for cooking

[olivet]

But do you not know you are the salt of the earth, Can salt loose it's saltiness

[Colin2000]

Hi Olivet,

Well can it?

Did I not read somewhere that it is thrown away?

Then again He might have meant me?

But am I worried?

Of course I am?

Otherwise I could walk under a bus or something worse, an American Tank with a learner driver in it!

Yours in The Wonderful Name of Jesus Christ my very own Saviour!

Colin.

PS.  Now what shall I do next?  Wake up and have my pills, wake up with a cup of coffee or switch the TV. on and watch what is left of Great Britain going down the sink today?

PPS.  Remember to eat my bread with my salt?

PPPS. Keep the kitchen table empty for my Wife and Son arriving with the weekly shopping?

PPPPS. Decisions, decisions, decisions?

[Ruth Ann]

Just having coffee here and trying to wake up. I woke at 2 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. Mom's got a cold and I worry so much about her. The big fear of her getting pneumonia. At 91 she does very well, but I worry. Like she used to over me. I heard her cough through the night.

Now I probably won't get as much done today as I wanted to.

Salt...
I took the salt shaker off the table a few weeks ago. We were, all 3, using too much.

Now I can taste saltiness in food without adding any.
It's good!

And mom's ankles aren't swollen.

[a2jgrammy]

Praying for your mama RA...may she get over this cold ASAP!

May you get some good sleep.

And Colin, may all those things that Mrs. Colin got for the weekly shopping spree have a few hidden goodies for ya!

[Colin2000]

I am praying too Ruth,

LORD please touch Ruth's mother with your healing hands.

In your Name, The Name of JESUS bind the cold/flu in her throat and in her lungs, make her well again please!

LORD show us what is wrong or what is missing, if it is Salt or one or other of the  elements Ruth her daughter mentioned in her post replace them please so her body may return to balance.

LORD I ask you to show us what is wrong so that we may put it right!  But in the mean time please bind her to you and correct anything you find wrong please.

LORD we ask this in the Name of your wonderful Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour!

Truly Amen LORD Truly Amen,

Colin.

Hi Grammy,

Now how can I answer this,  The LORD says ask me?

So I am asking LORD I am asking!

It seems I am getting far to fat so I am not allowed the goodies!  I know cruelty to husbands Grammy but she is probably right?

Jane is a very single minded woman you know, size ten going on eight but beautiful with it!

I am thirteen stone going on fourteen and being threatened with having my bread and butter and marmalade removed.

But that is another story Grammy,

Colin.

RA

May your mom heal, get her some probiotic drinks and yogurt, put a heating pad on her chest and wait for the Lord to act.  At 2 AM, it is difficult 

[Ruth Ann]

Thank you all for praying for mom. She seems much better! Although not fully well yet.

Now I have it. Awful cold. Sore throat. Cold with chills. Stuffed sinuses and runny nose. Aches. And a spot of poison ivy. 

[olivet]

RA

Horse radish is great for the sinuses.  Pray you are feeling well this Monday

[Ruth Ann]

I've been in bed all weekend, Olivet. Today I crept down the steps to the kitchen. IF I hadn't I'd starve to death. It seems no one else here cooks.

[Shon]

I used to be a salt-aholic.  I had a little food with my salt for flavor.    My feet stayed the size of watermelons. 


But God miraculously delivered me from it.  And I didn't even notice at first when He did it.  It just finally dawned on me one day that I no longer turned my food white with salt before I ate it.  In fact, I rarely ever used it at all.  Am still the same way.  Every now and then I will crave it strongly and will "white out" some jalapenos or something and then I won't eat any for a long time again. 

[wisernow]

 

Me too, Shon.

I have to use a little but have cut way back.

[wisernow]

 

Hope you are feeling better, Ruth Ann!

Some of our family has been having hard stomach cramps with
chills.

Becky's started last Thursday nite at Brandon's graduation and
she ended up with the chills earlier this week.

But she shampooed all her carpets yesterday so I assume
she has recovered.
