The human body is constantly at war; every the immune system defends against innumerable day threats to our health. But the ability to ultimately win the war against illness and disease is in our control. We have the best defense known to the human immune system.
When an invader attempts to enter the body, it must first cross multiple barriers such as our mucus membranes and skin. If the invader enters the body, white blood cells quickly recognize the pathogen as an invader and begin to coordinate the defense system. Soon, other defender cells, such as killer cells, macrophages and phagocytes come to help destroy the invader. White blood cells begin to produce an antibody to defend against any future attacks. The body produces more than one billion different antibodies to combat many types of invaders.
The invaders are attacked and destroyed by natural killer cells. The killer cell binds to its target, aims its weapons and then delivers a lethal burst of chemicals that produces holes in the target cell’s membrane. Fluids leak out and the cell bursts.
Macrophages, the “garbage men” of the body, have tentacles that grab the destroyed organisms and engulf them. The function of the macrophage is to ingest any foreign particles, including aged body cells.
Damaged areas are repaired and the normal, healthy condition of the body is restored. Mast cells release histamine and heparin which stimulate other cells to open the blood vessels, thereby increasing circulation and allowing the process of cell and tissue regeneration.
These articles piqued Hartley's interest with the information about the amazing results people were receiving from drinking a little bit of sea water each day. This led him to research the Great Salt Lake, an inland sea located near his home. He discovered that not only did the Great Salt Lake contain the same minerals and balance discussed by George Crane, but that it was 6 to 10 times more concentrated than regular sea water. Hartley knew there was a need for these minerals and thus, the idea for a company was born. Yet it was not until Hartley had tried the minerals himself and had witnessed powerful results from his friends and family that the company was established with initial product sales.
The minerals from this desert sea caused such dramatic and varied results in people and Hartley knew from his growing stack of testimonials that the company's first product, Inland Sea Water, was effective. In 1968, he and his wife, Gaye, founded the company and began selling pure Great Salt lake water to the public. A short time later, he discovered how to use nature's own processes to remove the sodium, thereby creating low sodium, Concentrate Mineral Drops.
The origin of the Great Salt Lake can be traced back to ancient Lake Bonneville which covered most of Western Utah and small parts of Idaho and Nevada during the Ice Age (between 23,000 and 12,000 years old). In the warmer, dry period after the ice age, Lake Bonneville receded and the Great Salt Lake is the remnant of that ancient lake.
The total amount of salt dissolved in the Great Salt Lake is about 4.5 to 4.9 billion tons. As the lake rises, its salinity drops because the same amount of salt is dissolved in more water. The lower the lake level, the saltier it becomes. In the past, the lake's salinity has ranged from a little less than 5 percent (which is just above sea water) to nearly 28 percent (beyond which water cannot hold more salt). As water flows over or moves beneath the Earth's surface, it dissolves minerals from the soils and rocks. The streams that originate in the Wasatch Range and other nearby mountains all flow into the Great Salt Lake, bringing in water with varying percentages of dissolved minerals. Since the lake has no outlet, all of these minerals remain in the lake.
