Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 -for almost a century, European peasants knew the danger of Aluminium on human health.Go figure. Of course, it's only Anecdotal evidence, like5000+year old TraditionalChineseMedicine, so it's dismissed by the '$cientific'community... The most abundant element in the universe is hydrogen, which makes up about 3/4 of all matter! Helium makes up most of the remaining 25%. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe. All of the other elements are relatively rare. The chemical composition of the earth is quite a bit different from that of the universe. The most abundant element in the earth's crust is oxygen, making up 46.6% of the earth's mass. Silicon is the second most abundant element (27.7%), followed by aluminum (8.1%), iron (5.0%), calcium (3.6%), sodium (2.8%), potassium (2.6%). and magnesium (2.1%). These eight elements account for approximately 98.5% of the total mass of the earth's crust. Of course, the earth's crust is only the outer portion of the earth. Future research will tell us about the composition of the mantle and core. http://ww2.wpunj.edu/cos/envsci-geo/distrib_resource.htm - - - via jagchat Aluminum and Alzheimers. This video details the many stuff which we use regularly and which contain aluminum. Scary. We have chemicalised our lives to an extent that just living in todays world is dangerous.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for the additional info on magnesium. I knew a woman who suffered from chronic, severe Mg deficiency. She had celiac sprue, and like a lot of people with chronic intestinal problems, she had various absorption problems. The problem with Mg was so bad that eventually her doctors had to install a device in her arm so they quickly could give her IV Mg. She was ending up in ER a lot in spite of regular Mg treatments. After doing a lot of research, she discovered that Al will interfere with Mg absorption and utilization. But she wasn't cooking in Al pans. Further research revealed that her favorite soft drink came in Al cans that weren't lined. When she switched from the cans to the bottles, her Mg problems finally started to improve. For additional info on the problems associated with Mg deficiency, see the work of Mildred Seelig, M.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
