Y'know how people are always saying 'Bananas have potassium' or 'Spinach has calcuim', etc.? We know that this wouldn't be true if there were none in the soil. Regarding the converse, however, to what degree do different plants exhibit affinities for particular minerals? The president of TRC (which provides "plant-derived colloidal minerals" to many bottlers) once made a loose sounding statement: 'The species of plant has NO bearing on its mineral content; whatever's in the soil will show up in the plant.' (The shale that Rockland mines as a dietary mineral source originated as prehistoric grass.) So if you had selenium-rich potting soil, could you grow wheat grass that's better than Brazil nuts? This relates to the question of the best mineral form. I & others more knowledgeable have postulated that whole SEA SALT represents the ultimate full-spectrum mineral supplement. Would a cancer patient eat Brazil nuts because they provide a better *form* of selenium than sea salt, or because of the high *concentration* of selenuim relative to sea salt? And to what extent is this concentration a function of soil or of plant species? --Russ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
