i know my hsband has it-i just hope once it is fixed he will be ok.
when he was working, until 2012 he ate EVERYDAY shrimp/feta/broccoli for lunch. Later he just drank coffee with some biscuit ands his health problems started. Until 2021 he was walking unassisted--next year he had catheter and needed walker. He spent most of 2024 in hospitals and bnow he is bedridden and needs live in care. He saw maNY DOCTORS of coursew but- as it happens too often! -they were clueless WHY. They tested blood which showed a bit-but not much! -low sodium, iron, calcium and magnesium, Also anemia-also not bad-and they said it was caused by low iron and prescribed some pills-he takes them everyday but his anemia is better or worse anyway. THEY ARRE MEANINGLESS IMO so he stopped taking them now. But when he tried BSM from Earth C. or BONE MARROW HIS rbc COUNT WAS BETTER! And then I read that the cause of such anemia could be low copper and in May I ordered HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS. hE HAS SO MANY DEFFICIENCIES! THEY CONFIRMED BLLOOD TEST RESULTS. Copper was really low, followed by phosphous. Then selenium, vanadium and molybdenium....
Zinc was borderline.... Now he is taking chelated copper, selenium, as he hardly is eating he takes capsules with beef liver, mushrooms, organ meat, cocoa, bone marrow, pumpkin seeds. pink salt capsule only if his blood pressure goes too low So far his blood tests are better--but I do not see him stronger! He is mostly sleeping... I really hope that was the cause of his decline--and I hope it can be fixed--but it is quire disheartening not to see results

I notice improvements, slow but sure: better sleep, a feeling of being more solid mentally, skin is the softest it's ever been, I'm calmer. I will keep on these humic (using Vitality Boost HA) minerals but am not -yet- doing the amount they recommend. I put around 14 drops of them into 32 oz water, and drink that, about a glass or more a day, as well as my RO water, which has celtic salt and 35% food grade H202 added to it. (a pinch of celtic, and 6 drops H202 p/ gal) Thinking this is a powerful adjunct to my continuous tweaking, to reach optimum health! Cheers~

You knew that, right?
Some of them have made some dramatic discoveries during their lifetime, concerning their stock's health/sickness, from being placed in a dire position and having to radically alter their stock management practices in order to survive financially on the farm. "Triumph through adversity" (like during the War) etc. I believe it can be instructive to learn of instances where animals' health sometimes change rapidly for the better. Sometimes this knowledge is transferable to us human types also. Take the instance of one farmer we shall call Bruce. Bruce was farming normally and noticing a gradual decline over a decade or more, in growth rates, together with frequent and increasing levels of sickness, (often from worms/ parasites) etc. They were getting thinner and often dying (the stock not the parasites-THEY were getting fatter! ). Yet Bruce was considered a good farmer; he did all the normal farming tricks and to all intents and purposes farmed his patch well. His farming chums would have called Bruce a fair dinkum man of the soil and all round good joker (or some such-you get the drift?) and the farm "looked" a "Picture". The grass looked "lush". What could be "crook" (as we say)? He was spending an inordinate amount of his working day playing catch up and desperately trying to cure his sick stock; the vet was a frequent visitor.
Then he tried adding various trace minerals to their diet in one way or another. Won't bore you with the methods-this is a family show after all! He even spread them over the ground using a top-dressing aeroplane. How cool is that? Apparently the results were both quick and profound. His stock gained weight instead of losing weight and were all-round healthier and performed better on all counts where it matters on the farm. As a bonus, his medical, fertilizer and vet bills dropped significantly. So, more profit with less costs/inputs. Win win situation and farm / farmer saved. Hay presto.
I am most concerned about the lack of (particularly) zinc, selenium, boron and copper in our soils here in N.Z. but others may well be in short supply through either not being here in the first place or through depletion over the years. If it isn't in the soil then it won't be in the food will it (unless it is "fortified" ha)?
So the moral of this story is that you should take your trace minerals seriously and if they ain't in the soil (and they likely will have packed their bags and left in a huff in the 1950s or 60s sad to say) then you had better try getting them elsewhere. So there you have it, more info from Down Under. Live long and prosper.
