I enjoyed reading the article on Boron from the Minerals Info section.
Thanks for posting, still reading...
LOL:
>>Boron is found in apples, carrots,
grapes, many dark-green leafy vegetables, raw nuts, pears and whole grains. “Found” means if it is there.<< This is interesting: >>Boron defends the heart. The story
has been told that Soviet truck drivers were offered bonuses to deliver boron to the Chernobyl site, this with the knowledge that their trip would be fatal, but families would be paid. None realized that, fortified with boron, they could have made their decision with impunity. Boron stopped the “China Syndrome” from occurring in Russia. Boron is known as the calcium helper
and for the metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Boron improves retention of both calcium and magnesium and elevates circulation of serum concentrations of testosterone.<< >>In passing, it might be mentioned
that uptake of aluminum in the absence of boron has a role in Alzheimer’s disease. The herb that best removes aluminum from the body is cilantro, this according to recently released credentialed research. <<
