A story that began in the countryside, long before it became a book.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking about this book always moves me. Because it all started in a simple, practical way, looking at the cattle, the intense heat of the Amazonian savanna, and thinking: There needs to be a better way to feed these animals and care for this soil.<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came from an experience with bovine genetics in Rio Grande do Sul, but it was in Roraima that I felt the need to do something different. It was there that I started researching and found Himalayan Pink Salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I negotiated for almost two years with a supplier from Pakistan, faced payment difficulties, complicated logistics, a container stuck because of the Amazon River's water level\u2026 but I believed. And when the salt finally arrived, I did the tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The results were surprising. In just a few weeks, weakened cattle regained vitality, weight, and energy. That salt with 84 minerals really made a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But up until then, it was just my journey. None of it was written down. None of it had become history for the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day everything changed: the invitation to write a book.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The turning point came when I was invited to give a lecture at UNIP, in S\u00e3o Paulo.
I spoke about COP30, about regenerative livestock farming, about pink salt. My son was there; it was a very special moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the lecture, I met Clesio through our mutual friend, Professor Cl\u00e1udio Scheidt Guimar\u00e3es. The conversation was brief, but I felt he perceived something I hadn't even noticed. The next day, I received a question I'll never forget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c"Vilton, why don't we turn this into a book?"\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I answered "yes" right away.
Without thinking too much.
It was intuitive, it was powerful, it was emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today I say: it was one of the best decisions of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had the experience. Clesio brought the method.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have always worked a lot with practice, with experimentation, with field observation.
But turning all of that into a book... that requires organization, method, clarity, and rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that's where the partnership with Clesio made all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He structured the project in a calm, straightforward, and very efficient way.
He created a methodology to transform my experiences into chapters.
He asked the right questions, pulled threads I didn't even remember, and organized everything with skill and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that writing with him was smooth<\/strong>.
Nothing heavy. Nothing tiring.
It flowed naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It almost seemed as if the book was already inside both of us and just needed to be pulled out using the right method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We publish in record time \u2014 and with international quality.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was impressed by how quickly the book took shape.
We spent days and nights talking, organizing, revising\u2026
But everything in a lighthearted way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before we knew it, the book was finished.
And it wasn't just any book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a consistent, profound, beautiful book, with both technique and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, he took over the world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
