Dr. Bob’s Sea Salt is hand-harvested by skilled salt farmers, using time honored, hand-crafted methods dating back centuries. It is unprocessed, natural and unrefined, a balanced mixture of essential minerals in the correct proportion that closely resembles our body’s own chemical make-up. Electrolytes provide critical conductivity in the body. They produce the “sparks of energy” that keep our bodies functioning. Without that “spark” created by the positive ion from quality salt, the body’s homeostasis, or compromised. As energy is exerted, body salts are lost through perspiration, and excretion through the kidneys.

• Heart Health
• Brain Function and Health
• Water Balance within the Body
• Balance of Ions
• Protects Against Sunstroke
• Anti-aging – should be used on the skin
• Regulation of Bodily Fluids
• Maintains Acid/Base Balance
• Eliminates Excess Carbon Dioxide
• Stops Muscle Cramps
• Regulates Glucose Absorption

Like protein, our bodies cannot store salt for future use. It must be replenished regularly, especially during and after strenuous exercise. The watery part of blood, the plasma, has a concentration of salt and other ions that is remarkably similar to sea water. A balanced sea salt with the right proportions of sodium, magnesium, and potassium, along with the other minerals and trace elements found in seawater, fill the extracellular fluids of the body allowing nutrients in and waste to pass out through the cell walls.

A medical doctor and an atheists scientist explain how natural health, or “Alternative Health” write a book called, “Trick or Treatment” by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst. Singh is a physicist and the writer of several popular science books. Ernst is a professor of complementary medicine.  Singh is an atheist.  Why is that important?  Well, let’s just say that science and atheism seem to go hand in hand these days.  Is science a matter of belief?  Is health a matter of believing?  Check out the video below.

Quora Question:

Why are companies using the word “plant based” instead of just saying vegan?

My Response:

Vegan didn’t exist as a word until around 10 years ago as far as I can remember. There are militant vegans who run around spray painting butcher shop and throwing rape whistlers into the back yards of slaughter house owners in the middle of the night. Militant vegans are giving the rest of us a bad name in short. Plant-based sounds better and it doesn’t have an ideology behind it.   I’m a vegan because the plant-based diet is the healthiest diet.

YouTuber Drew from “Genetically Modified Skeptic ” attempts to align religion with alternative medicine.  Honestly, I’m not sure what alternative medicine exactly is, or how it’s defined.  According to Drew, both religion and alternative medicine (natural health) are pretty much the same thing.  I debate those points with our friend Drew in this video.

How are religion and alternative medicine are similar according to Drew:

1. Anecdotal evidence
2. Placebo Effect
3. Confirmation bias
4. Rejection of Science
5. Emotional manipulation

One of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, Ashwagandha has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions, and is most well-known as an adaptogen (natural substances that help the body to adapt to stress and exert a normalizing effect upon bodily processes) with restorative properties. The use of Ashwagandha may help alleviate stress, fatigue, lack of energy and impaired concentration. It is frequently referred to as “Indian Ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties.

Fulvargine is a blend of L-Arginine and Fulvic Acid.  L-Arginine is a powerful circulatory stimulant used in the production of nitric oxide in the body which causes arteries to dilate for improved blood flow.  L-Arginine stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH), which is a key to longevity.  It is an immune system builder that improves circulation, promotes muscle growth and cardiovascular health. L-Arginine regenerates the liver and improves libido.

Fulvic Acid is an excellent carrier that has the ability to transport nutrients around the body better than any other element. L-Arginine and Fulvic Acid work synergistically to enhance their nutritional impact on the body.  For peak performance, take Fulvargine around 30 minutes before a work out since it opens up the blood vessels and significantly improves circulation which results in improve cadio-function as a result of increased Nitric Oxide production in the body.

We combined L-Arginine with fulvic acid in liquid form for immediate effect.  If you’re an athlete then you know that nitric oxide is required for a great workout.  L-Arginine is an essential amino acid which is required by the body for use in several capacities.  Athletes use Arginine for the production of Nitric Oxide and Human Growth Hormone (HGH), which is one of the keys to longevity.

• Produces Nitric Oxide in the Body`
• Opens the Arteries and Increases Blood Flow 
• Assists in the release of Human Growth Hormone
• Immune Builder
• Improves cardiovascular function
• Encourages wounds to heal
• Regenerates the Liver.
• Promotes muscle growth
• Improves circulation  

Nitric oxide causes blood vessels to open wider for improved blood flow.  L-arginine is converted in the body into a chemical called nitric oxide.  L-arginine is an amino acid that opens up the blood vessels.

Nitric oxide was named “Molecule of the Year” in 1992 .  Three US scientists—Robert F. Furchgott, PhD, Louis J. Ignarro, PhD, and Ferid Murad, MD, PhD received the 1998 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine for its discovery.

Humus and Human have the same meaning: From and Of the Earth. Humus is the primary root of our food supply. Humic and Fulvic Acids are the substrates of the soil from which we get our food. Our soil is mineral depleted, which means our foods are mineral depleted, which means We are mineral depleted.

We obtain our American Shilajit from New Mexico along the continental divide where the ancient plant material has been crushed and compacted for 100,000’s years.

Minerals are the keys that start the engine of our health. Every metabolic process in the body depends on a mineral to function. – Dr. Bob McCauley Humic acids are a group of compounds created by the degradation of organic matter and are a portion of natures biological processes. Over time the deposited material has decomposed and reduced into humic, fulvic, and ulmic fractions.  Humic and Fulvic acids are excellent for human health.

Humic and Fulvic acids are excellent for human health.

• Humic Acid is a Powerful Detoxifier. 
• Humic Acid oxygenates the blood. It also assists with mineral transfer/ Humic Acid also acts as a dilator, increasing the permeability of cell walls.
• Humic Acid balances our cells electricity.
• Humic Acid is antimicrobial. It also benefits the body by allowing it to recognize its own dead cells, thereby reducing infection and warding off a host of diseases.
• Humic Acid is an Immune Builder – Contains an abundance of complex sugars, allowing the body to manufacture glycoproteins that attach to killer and T cells
• Humic Acid has Anti-Inflammatory Properties.

Take just before bed for a good night’s sleep.

Fulvic Acid Health Benefits:   

• Fulvic Acid assists with nutrient transport around the body. 
• Fulvic Acid helps the body release toxic metals and keep excess iron from accumulating in the tissue.
• Fulvic Acid bonds  with positively charged metal ions in the body which are then excreted through the urine and feces.  
• Fulvic Acid is a diuretic that increases the body’s ability to rid itself of excess heavy metals through the urine.
• Fulvic Acid helps accelerate processes of protein and nucleic acid metabolism and stimulates energy providing reactions.
•  Increases  energy
•  Regulates blood sugar levels.
•  Purifies blood, stimulates & heals the pancreas
• Aids with digestion.
• Promotes the movement of minerals, especially calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium into muscle tissue and bone.
• Stimulates the immune system and improves recovery time after exercise.
• Acts as a carrier which helps assimilate nutrients better.
• Attaches to Blood Cells to be transported around the body. 
• Anything will bond to Fulvic Acid.  
• Everything in the body works better with the presence of Fulvic Acid.

He talks fast, very fast. When he talks social issues and politics I don’t pay much attention. But when Ben Shapiro – www.DailyWire.com Editor in Chief, talks about health issues he usually demonstrates that his knowledge about health is about that of the average person which is almost nothing.

Should we eat meat? Well, his wife, who is a medical doctor, says “Yes, there are nutrients in meat that you require.” Is Mrs. Shapiro a nutritionists? Has she studies nutrition? Medical doctors get absolutely zero training in medical school about nutrition. None. Zip, zero, Nada. So why would Ben refer to his wife as an authority on whether or not we should eat meat. No offense to Mrs. Shapiro, MD, but you might as well use a grade school teacher or the mayor of a major city as your “authority” on nutrition because they know every bit as much about health as any medical doctor, including Mrs. Shapiro, MD.

Quora Question:

Why aren’t you vegan? If you’re a vegetarian, why aren’t you vegan?

My Response:

I was a vegetarian for 18 years before I discovered first spirulina, then chlorella. These are the best foods for providing protein to the body. When I added those foods to my diet I understood that I didn’t need to consume meat, fish, eggs or dairy. I was getting the protein from spirulina and chlorella. I still love dairy but I avoid it. A plant-based, vegan diet is the healthiest diet. Oh, and don’t cooked any of the plants if you want to truly be healthy.
