Re: yttrium
I forgot to mention turmeric and
Sea Salt ; also a source of yttrium

"I had lunch with one of our farmers (Patty) yesterday and we talked about turmeric.
I told her about the PubMed references on Dr. Tom Cowan's Web site and the studies that show turmeric dissolves cancer cells (http:// fourfoldhealing.com/2007/12/30/turmeric).
Turmeric is also mentioned in Charles Walters' Minerals for the Genetic Code. His book, which he calls an exposition of Dr. Richard Olree's work, contains information about the element yttrium in turmeric. The information gets dense concerning yttrium's beneficial effect on a codon (a codon is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA). Walters (Olree) says turmeric is a yttrium/boron-based element. Walters also says turmeric (or curcumin) is used like salt and pepper in India where the incidence of Alzheimer's is low.
As we talked about turmeric, Patty said turmeric is used to keep pickles crisp.
Does anyone know about this?
As for lanthanum, Walters says that it's another critical element that is required by our DNA.
I noticed lanthanum and yttrium are both in celtic
Sea Salt (I've included the elements in celtic
Sea Salt below).
Yttrium and lanthanum are also in Azomite (See:http://azomite.com/ typical_analysis.html). Sally has listed Azomite as a superfood in the back of her cookbook.
When we started our chapter, I bought a bag of micronized Azomite from Peak Minerals (http://www.azomite.com). The micronized form has the consistency of flour. Sally has said she puts a little Azomite in juice. I've mixed it into yogurt.
There's also a small pellet form of Azomite that's used on soil (Peak does not officially sell it for human consumption—they sell it as a soil amendment).
