“What is sole therapy?”

Sole therapy—or sol therapy—is just another term for drinking salt water as a way to “cleanse” your system. Don’t be fooled by slick marketing and chemical double-speak. At the end of the day, sole (or sol) therapy is just your run-of-the-mill, ordinary salt water flush.

Currently, the biggest advocates of this quack therapy seem to be non-medical “authors” on various mass publishing sites. (Yes, we’re picking on the “mommy bloggers” again.) How absurd does this “information” get? Well, take a look at some of the ailments sol therapy cures—and we found all these in just one article:

• Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema
• Warts & Herpes
• Arthritis
• Muscle soreness

And this new miracle cure can also prevent diseases. For example:

• Gall bladder & Kidney stones
• Mucus plaque

And if that’s not amazing enough, by mixing yourself an especially large vat of the stuff and floating around in it you can “active your self healing powers”.

The Truth Is …

Honestly and truly, I do not know how people get away with claiming such nonsense. The fact of the matter is, it doesn’t matter how “perfectly balanced” the water/salt ratio is, it’s still just salt water. It’s not “another dimension” or “similar to amniotic fluid”. Nor will it “pass right through” your body without being absorbed.

At the end of the day, this is just another way to sell you an expensive sea salt and another way for an non-medically-trained writer to make an extra buck from ad “clicks”. There’s no science behind it and no licensed medical professional I’ve ever spoken to has ever been willing to endorse such stupidity. And that’s the truth.
