Many people who have had some types of severe lung disease can not effectively process toxic contaminants in inhaled air. Often those toxins result in airway inflammation in sensitive people or those with reduced lung function from bronchial scarring from infections or severe allergic reactions.

Many in Europe have for centuries found some reliefe buy living in salt caves where the air is much purer than in cities.

Many people complaign of headaches, lethargy, irritated eyes, throats etc after prolonged exposure to those chemicals in enclosed areas from those who cover themselves with perfumes and other toxic aromatic compounds that result in what is often referred to as sick building syndrome where adequate outside air exchange is restricted by modern building construction.

Others experience lethargy and other health issues when exposed to long periods of breathing deisel or gasoline fumes or other environmental pollutants.

Btw, many folks who deal with horses used in shows and competitive events have started using vertical exhaust systems in their deisel trucks after recognizing subpar performance from their animals after being trailered long distances while breathing the burned particulate resudue.

Many years ago cowboys and other rural folk ofen complained of city air not being fit to breath. They were so used to clean air they could detect the polluted air in cities and didnt care for it at all.

There are reasons why many people who never smoked end up with lung cancer and why many housewives who used household cleaning chemicals and never smoked end up with COPD.

I have asthma and after having had a few patients this AM covered in Right Guard, body lotion, cling free, scented clothes detergent, etc my chest is tight and somewhat uncomfortable. I cant wait to get out of this city tomorrow and into the Grrat American Desert chasing blue quail and coyotes and breating clean air. I can gurantee you i will feel and breathe better after a few hours of that.

The down side is my sense of smell will adapt and when i get back tomorrow evening i will be able to smell the stence from the asphalt and people drying their stinking Tide wased clothes in toxic aromatic crap like scented cling free.

Does pink Himalayan salt make french fries taste better?

That or sea salt tastes much better.

Sounds kinda kooky to me, but if that floats your boat and it doesn't bother me, have at it.

Here you go, Doc.l

In 1843, a physician named Dr. Feliks Boczkowski noticed that workers at a salt mine, unlike other miners, did not have respiratory or lung problems. He attributed their healthy lungs to the air climate inside the salt mine. Salt is known to have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Soon, spas opened in the salt caves and today the therapy is popular in Eastern Europe, Russia and Canada.

Wertkin became interested in salt caves when he and his wife were researching remedies for their son, Jack, now 13, who has asthma. They visited a salt room in Florida and were amazed at the difference it made for their son. They decided to open their own business after learning that Chicago was the closest city with a comparable salt room.

That bitch is almost as looney as AL Gore.

The difference between salt miners, and other miners is easy.

Salt is soluble, and goes away after being inhaled. Hard rock dust, or coal, not so much. Just because the crap don't give you black lung, or silicosis, that sure as hell don't mean it will cure you of other schitt.

The only way I will do it is if the hippie chicks in the cave are neekid......

Yes, emphatically yes. I like the pink Himalayan salt or sea salt over regular salt on everything except maybe jerky brine. It's better on fries, steaks, etc.

I suspect there are pyramids involved in this..... somewhere in the process.

Barry - you and I both know how the Santa Fe locals are. It's not been called "San Francisco East" for decades, without reason!

Those folks are so dumb - they believe themselves!

There ya go - put up a big pink Himalayan salt pyramid. Would be a bigger tourist attraction than the Corn Palace at least until it rains, or cows get to it.

ten thousand waves uphill from santa fe ,public area, old ones , young ones, nekid as jays

that would give me a rash or worse

Most of you know that back in the 1800s, tuberculosis was treated by putting the patients in Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Supposedly they would live longer.

The result was quite the reverse.
