I agree with Saint James. Minerals of all kinds can probably be of particular value for this or that. Look at the mineral salt Lithium for example. I saw a hospital in Boston was doing a study with chromium supplementation for depression. I don't notice much benefit from vitamins, minerals, or herbs when taking them, but I do notice a drag when I'm NOT taking them. Subtle. In general though, large-dose supplementation of anything causes me hesitation, because we aren't sure where the difference is between therapeutic and toxic. I have often experimented with alternative approaches, but with caution and generally disappointment. No miracles out there yet for me. Surely mineral supplementation is a good thing. I personally wouldn't expect any drastic response though.
