This discussion...

For me is about our current state of being in the world.

Assaulted by a plethora of toxic forms and levels of what should be "trace" mineral/elements (remember - everything on this earth was here in the beginning save for the extraterrestrial objects that hit the earth from time to time), we struggle in our quest to mediate the problems with our best guesses...

Given that our foods, for the most part, seem to be ever decreasing in nutritional value, while the need for nutrition increases, AND increasing in contamination through various "additives", pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones, GMO, etc. etc., is it any wonder that we all run around in confusion?

How do we undo all this craziness that is being done to us WITHOUT our permission?

Emergency measures to mitigate health problems then emerge such as CS, Ozone, internal h2o2, MMS, large dosing elemental Iodine, etc. Do we need these things? In a perfect world, most likely, no. But then our world is far from perfect.

What is your "perfect" world? Does it include man made comforts? the computer you are on? the cosmetics you use? A cell phone; any phone? The gas, electric, running water, grocery stores, clothing stores? etc. etc.? If so, then you are tied into dealing with these "toxins".

You may not like it, but you cannot have it both ways...

Either go live and hunt/gather naked in the woods, with no more impact on this planet than an animal, or accept things for the way they are...

So what in the world are we to do?

My best guess, after using things like CS, internal H2O2, and elemental iodine, is to balance the terrain... Beauchamp is a good starting point.

Here is the deal... anytime one spends any amount of time researching a particular mineral or element, they come to realize at some point that they are ALL needed in various amounts.

Olree is a good starting point for this information.

Individual need is determined by any number of factors including current state of the individuals body terrain, availability of a needed nutrient in the diet and the ability to digest, process, absorb and utilize that particular nutrient based on other, possibly many co-factors.

is a good starting point for this information.

Further study would reveal that these needs, co-factors, and ability to digest, process and utilize a particular nutrient, ALL vary from one individual to the next... even in the same family.

That is why, one person may receive what they believe is a miracle cure, while another heads to the emergency room trying the same protocol...

In any given protocol, including diet, there are people who suffer problems... why? A look into one's ancestral background may give some clues, along with the quality of available foods in their diet. That, just a starting point.

BTW - animal testing and response to a particular nutrient or medicine is of little value extrapolated to the human condition because their digestive systems are very different. A common mistake in arguing against a calcium rich diet for humans is that cows get all the calcium they need from foraging and grass... humans cannot do this... why? because cow digestive systems are designed to pull and absorb calcium at a greater rate than man's digestive system ever will be without evolution to a ruminant digestive system... While the cow may be able to process all the given calcium from a food source, man MAY, best case scenario, only be able to pull about 30%.
