my mother is on this insane salt kick. she thinks that natural sea salt has curative properities and that people in high places are keeping the secret of salt from the common people because it would take their business away.
she also believes that all diseases are caused by "parasites" and that by using a "zapper" tuned to the "frequency" of the parasites and drinking copious amounts of saltwater, she can kill the parasites and rid herself of lyme disease.
i know she only believes this tripe because she's hopeless and knows it. alternative medicine is for hopeless people who need to delude themselves into living another pointless day.
