I am pretty sure that, scientifically, there is no difference to any of these salts.

But I am equally sure that science is a load of demoralizing, devaluing, material-deterministic hogwash and that the human experience is as, if not more, important to our continued survival and growth. And I'm not even just talking about "the placebo effect". I believe that every unique thing we do on this earth and every novel experience we have creates modes of perspective and emotional state, that enable new and vibrant living thought patterns that contribute to the range of further experience and ideas we're capable of attaining in the future. "Science" has lost its luster; adhering to only what can be discovered in a carefully controlled peer reviewed study filters the perceptions of humanity into a grey goo of clinical meaninglessness. I believe it is necessary, even paramount to re-embrace creative and magical thinking, not necessarily because they are "true" but because the more diversity of thought that exists, the safer the overall "gene pool" of ideas remains and the more likely that unique and novel groundbreaking solutions and discoveries will be discovered by people who haven't been indoctrinated to think only in one box. And even something as seemingly insignificant and trivial as enjoying different types of salt may be part of that way of experiencing the world.

Enjoy not having your pH levels balanced
