Bamboo Salt English | Page 16

Another important trace mineral in bamboo salt is platinum, which is about 3ppm in bamboo salt. Many kinds of anti- cancer drugs using platinum were developed, and it is used for cosmetics and as a health supplement in food, but the impact on the human body has not been studied in detail. Mr. Kim, Il-hoon, the creator of bamboo salt, said in his book “What is in salt? There is platinum in salt. Due to the platinum in salt, compounds of calcium and other minerals are synthesized. We gather up and create bones. So all the tasks required for making bones are done by the platinum in salt. The traffic of platinum energy is called neurons and the bones where platinum energy comes down are as white as finger nails. That’s because there is infinitesimal amount of platinum energy, and without that, the compounds of calcium are destroyed soon.” Considering the fact that platinum plays a role as a catalyst for chemical reactions, we can say that Mr. Kim, Il-hoon’s explanation of platinum synthesizing various minerals is very reasonable. As we put bamboo salt in the food we eat, the platinum in the bamboo salt promotes the synthesis of various minerals in foods. In other words, bamboo salt increases the absorption rate of minerals contained in food, and performs the role of catalyst to promote the operation and synthesis of minerals successfully. In bamboo salt, most of the trace minerals essential to the human body were detected, such as iron, silicon, copper, vanadium, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, silver, platinum, strontium, boron, and lithium. It is believed that many more kinds of other trace elements are in bamboo salt, but considering the cost and time for component analysis, it is required for medical research centers and component analysis institutions to be more interested in studying bamboo salt, and attempt to obtain data about the standard of bamboo salt components through repeated analysis. In addition, they should research about how the impact of bamboo salt minerals on physiological function is different from that of other minerals. 16 16
