Forget Gold and Silver; This is the Investment you NEED to Make
History repeats itself, or so we are told, and those in the markets looking for a SHTF investment should stop looking towards gold and silver and consider something else. We all know you should buy low and sell high. Even with gold and silver’s recent correction the amount of value it takes to acquire them is still quite high. As preppers, the reason why we might purchase these precious metals is they are a store of value. Naysayers often remind me that I can’t eat gold to which I have to admit, I can’t eat gold. People often forget or overlook a currency of the past that was once traded for gold, ounce for ounce. In this case, it is an ancient currency that you can actually eat, in a sense, salt.
Salt is needed for humans to survive on a fundamental level and performs two very important functions. First, salt regulates the flow of electrons on a cellular level by creating a potential energy difference inside of cells, this is what allows them to conduct electrify. Without it the nervous and system would cease to function. Salt also helps cells regulate their size by determining how much water they contain. It does so through by regulating the osmotic pressure of cells and limits their ability to absorb water. In short, without salt (more accurately sodium), cells would absorb water until their membranes ruptured, killing the cell.
It is this same principle that allows salt to have its most observable benefit, preserving food. Until refrigeration there were few methods to preserve meat. The most common of these was salting.

Get salt that has not been commercially fractionated or altered with anti-caking and other additives.
What a stupid dumb fat lazy sleazy American dumbnut post!
There’s more salt on earth than sand. Take some ocean water and let it dry in the sun, duh.
That’s awesome, if you live near the ocean. For those of use a thousand or more miles from salt water it poses an issue in a SHTF situation.
Really?
One rather disturbing question pops up. If the SHTF what makes you think the stock market will remain.
