could it be the form of it? (tin) or other things after the WW2 ,like the margarine, that affected this??

"While Tin (Sn) has been established to be an essential trace element for some animals (they won't grow wellwithout it), some researchers are still unsure of whether tin is essential in human health and nutrition. Dailydietary intake of tin from various food sources is in the 1-3 mg range, which is less than 1/10th of the dailyintake obtained years ago before lacquering tin cans, switching to aluminum cans, or in the more distant past,when tin cups or tin pans were still in use. Since bronze contains copper and tin, the use of tin has beenestablished well past the Bronze Age, several thousand years ago.
Rat studies have shown that tin-deficient diets resulted in poor growth, reduced feeding efficiency, hearingloss, and bilateral (male pattern) hair loss. Tipton and Shafer examined tin in human tissue after accidentaldeaths. They noted that tin was found in the aorta, heart, kidney, liver, muscle,ovary, spleen, pancreas, brain, testes, stomach, and uterus, but none was foundin the thyroid of any victim, while the prostate, which usually shows no othertrace element, had tin.
Average concentrations were the same range as cobalt, chromium, iodine, andselenium, which are known vital nutrients. Inorganic tin is capable of entering intobiological activity at saline pH, and it is far less toxic than other known vital traceelements such as copper and cobalt. In addition, tin levels do not vary statisticallywith gender, age, or geographical areas. Misk found traces of tin in the fetal heartand spleen, and higher levels in the liver, while Schroeder and others reported notin in stillborns.
As mentioned on the Acu-Cell "Tin & Iodine" page - where additional information about tin is found - Tin isassociated with Iodine the same way as calcium is associated with magnesium. Tin supports the adrenals,and Iodine supports the thyroid, with both subsequently affecting cardiac output: Tin + adrenals control theleft side, and Iodine + thyroid control the right side. In addition to low Vitamin C and/or Vitamin B1, low tinis a common nutritional cause of low adrenals, which can lead to left-sided cardiac insufficiency.While fatigue or Depression may be experienced with cardiac insufficiency of either side, breathing difficultiesor asthma are more common with left-sided cardiac insufficiency, and swelling of hands and feet is morecommon with right-sided cardiac insufficiency, regardless of the cause.B-Vitamins & InteractionsVitamin C SupplementationVit C / E / B12 / B15 InteractionsBioflavonoids & PolyphenolsHigh / Low Carb-Fat-Protein DietsSimple, Refined & Complex SugarGlycemic Index / Glycemic Load& Satiety Index Chocolate & Cocoa Benefits?Vegetarianism - Pros and ConsEat Right For Your Blood Type Diet Sterols, Sterolins & Beta-SitosterolCoral Calcium & AdvaCal / AAACaMLM & Self-Supplementation Conditions & Diseases A - GConditions & Diseases H - ZADD-ADHD-Behavioral ProblemsALS / Lou Gehrig's DiseaseAlzheimer's DiseaseBone Loss / OsteoporosisCancerH.

Home Sitemap Links & Downloads Flu Remedies The Clinical Research Resource for Cellular Nutrition & Trace Mineral AnalysisAcu-Cell Analysis Acu-Cell Nutrition Acu-Cell Disorders Tin - Health Effects Mineral Ratios Diets & MLM Spiritual HealthTin - Health EffectsI had 285 individuals taking part in the Nutritional evaluation of Tin, some on a short-term basis (3 weeks),and others on a long-term basis (1 - 2+ years), resulting in some valuable feedback on various responses en-countered, including side effects, although the rather poor absorption of stannous oxide was a limiting factorin being able to achieve optimal cellular levels of tin in all subjects.
Of the changes experienced after supplementing tin, negative reactions, e.g. stomach / digestive upsets, orskin reactions, were at par or less compared to the best tolerated trace minerals such as chromium, calcium,or magnesium. Positive health effects were numerous and included improvements with fatigue, some formsof depression, and a general increase in energy, well-being, and mood. There were also benefits with certaintypes of headaches, insomnia, asthma, or improvements with digestion, skin, or various aches and pains.Tin toxicity - or its health hazards - documented over the last 200 years in humans has been linked to theconsumption of foods or beverages that were stored in tinned, unlacquered containers under long-term, low-pH conditions, and where levels of several hundred to several thousand mg/kg were ingested. Symptomswere limited to mostly gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting, with excesstin being rapidly excreted, and no long-term negative health or toxic effects reported.
There are many causes of depression, some resulting from abnormal brain chemistry, while others are associ-ated with low blood pressure, low thyroid, or low (or high) levels of various essential nutrients such as lithium,calcium, magnesium, copper, sodium, protein, Vitamin B1, B6, B12, manganese (low blood sugar), and others.Many of these nutrients are well documented in affecting mood, but I have not previously come across anyreference to tin until starting to do research on it, and after it helped some patients with Depression whereany other drug, nutrient, or intervention had failed.
Tin is not a panacea for Depression --- it will not work when other chemical imbalances are involved, but itcan be the missing link when most other attempts to resolve depression have failed; essentially involving low,or malfunctioning adrenals. For the same reason, some cases of asthma - particularly when related to lowadrenals and subsequent left-sided cardiac insufficiency - respond to tin as well.
Tin (as stannous fluoride) is found in some toothpastes, and it has been used in the form of stannous chlorideas a chemical preservative. It is also added to asparagus to improve its taste, while in some countries it has been utilized as a remedy for intestinal parasites.
Herbal Sources of tin (in the highest to lowest order) include doggrass, juniper, bilberry, milk thistle, dulse,lady slipper, althea, valerian, Irish moss, nettle, barberry, yarrow, blessed thistle, red clover, yellow dock,kelp, licorice, devils claw, pennyroyal, and senna.
