too much of a good thing is still too much
Soil scientists and animal feed experts long ago realized that excesses of certain essential minerals could hamper the availability of other equally essential minerals. Alas, the modest cost of scientific research that may have fine-tuned these subtle mineral interrelations appears to have been absorbed by the billions and even trillions that drug companies wanted to develop ever more complicated medicines designed to divert bodily symptoms that arise as it reacts to diminished nutrition.
Below are four charts presented for your study. None are perfect, with perhaps the leftmost most useful because it includes stimulation effects as well as antagonism. The author, or builder, of the rightmost made a valiant attempt to incorporate far more minerals than the leftmost, but it is doubtful that the chart could withstand vigorous classroom discussion. And, yes, much more such discussion is needed.
Even through imperfect, the charts deserve study by the perceptive RBTI client or consultant. Reams strongly urged that we consume "a great variety of foods." His long history of soil science decades before he attempted to aid those suffering from terminal illnesses prepared him to see what he was looking at. This included situations where excesses of vital minerals could cause soils, animals, and people to suffer from "too much of a good thing." A wider variety of diet not only brings more essential minerals to the table, but it tends to prevent over-consumption of foods that are rich in minerals you already have enough of.
