FAQs - Product Questions

1. What are your mineral salts? Where do they come from?

Our mineral salts are full-spectrum, traditionally harvested salts from specific sources in Africa. They are not ordinary table salt. They have not been stripped of trace minerals or treated with anti-caking agents.

Each batch is sourced from communities that have harvested salt for generations. The Tsonga people of South Africa have gathered salt from the Baleni spring for over two thousand years. The communities along Ethiopia's Omo River produce salt from the ash of specific plants, a method passed down through countless generations.

What makes these salts different is what they contain. In addition to sodium and chloride, they provide magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, selenium, and dozens of other trace minerals in their natural ratios. These are the minerals your cells need to communicate, generate energy, and repair themselves.

Because these salts are rare and the sources are limited, they are available only through the Terra program. They are not sold separately. They are part of the full restoration sequence.

2. How do I use the salts? How much do I take?

The salts are used specifically when breaking a fast.

After you have completed your frequent short intermittent fast of 8 to 12 hours, you will take warm water and add a small amount of the salts. The amount is approximately the size of a small coin. Too much salt will not help. You want just enough to restore mineral balance without overwhelming the system.

Stir until dissolved. Drink it slowly. Pay attention to how your body receives it. Then you wait. At least two hours. During this time, your cells are absorbing the minerals. The salts are doing their work. Do not eat. Do not drink anything other than water. Just wait.

After two hours, you take your broth. The broth is the nourishment your body has been prepared to receive. This sequence matters. Fast. Break with salts. Wait. Then broth. The salts alone will not do what the full sequence does. They are one part of a three-part process.

3. I don't have access to indigenous cattle bones. What can I do?

We understand. Not everyone can source bones from indigenous cattle. Here is what we recommend, in order of preference.

Best option. Find a source. Ask your local butcher if they know farmers who keep indigenous cattle. Ask at markets. Ask in farming communities. Many people do not realize that bones are available because they never ask. Sometimes the best bones are sitting right there, waiting for someone to ask for them.

Second option. If you cannot find indigenous cattle, look for goats. Goats are almost always free-range in Kenya. They browse. They eat diverse plants. Their bones are excellent for broth.

Third option. If you cannot find indigenous cattle or goats, look for any animal that was raised free-range. Ask your butcher where the animal came from. How was it raised? What did it eat? The closer the animal lived to how animals should live, the better the bones.

A detailed Broth Sourcing Guide is available in our Resources section to help you find quality bones in your area. We do not sell broth. We cannot ship bones. But the bones are out there. You just have to research and keep asking. Someone knows someone who has cattle that live the way cattle should live.

4. Can I buy broth from you? Do you sell it?

No. We do not sell broth.

Broth is not a product. It is a practice. Making it yourself is part of the process. The simmering. The patience. The smell filling your kitchen. These things matter. They connect you to the work in a way that buying a package cannot.

We also cannot guarantee the quality of shipped broth. Broth needs to be fresh or properly frozen. It does not travel well across Kenya in a postal package.

What we can do is teach you how to source bones and make your own broth. It is simpler than you think. Bones. Water. Time. That is all you need. The Broth Sourcing Guide in our Resources section will walk you through it.

5. Do you sell supplements or meal plans?

No. We do not sell supplements. We do not sell meal plans.

We believe the body does not need more products. It needs less. Less processed food. Less constant input. Less noise. It needs time to clear what has accumulated. It needs the minerals that have been stripped from modern diets. It needs the simple, concentrated nutrition that comes from animals that lived as animals should live.

The mineral salts are available because they are rare and hard to find. They are not a supplement. They are a traditional food, harvested the way it has been harvested for generations.

We do not sell meal plans because we do not believe in telling people what to eat forever. We give you the sequence. Frequent short fasts. Break with salts. Wait two hours. Take broth. The rest is details. Eat whole foods. Reduce processed foods. Listen to your body. That is not a meal plan. It is a way of living. A detailed Food Interference List is available in our Resources section for program members who want specific guidance on foods to minimize during the three months.

TL;DR:

The salts are rare. They are available only through the Terra program. They are used specifically to break a fast, followed by a two-hour wait, followed by broth.

We do not sell broth. We teach you how to make it. We do not sell supplements or meal plans. We give you the sequence. Frequent short fasts. Salts. The two-hour wait. Broth.

The body does not need more products. It needs the debris cleared, the minerals restored, and the raw materials provided. That is what Terra offers. No more. No less.
