so Jennifer this looks like an interesting story - but I took a break from reading it to ask about Boron, because I read that Boron is to the parathyroid as iodine is to the thyroid. I got interested in using it with the horse for hoof health - Hair Skin and Nails right? then I found out that you can't grow Alfalfa without adding Boron to the soil, and wondered if that's why some horses do well with alfalfa. I'm a big trace mineral fan! I first found out some applied stuff about iodine from the horses as well. but my first interest in trace minerals was at Penn State when I was trying to study nutrition; micronutrients in the animal Nutrition department might have been my favorite class of all time.
