I suggest you check out the work of Michael Martin Melendrez, Soil Secrets developer and owner. You will find he is well ahead of the program in re-vitalizing our depleted soil through his complete soil food web program. His website is: www.soilsecrets.com.

Blessings,
Yvonne Scott for TerrawoRx, distributor of Soil Secrets products and landscape restoration specialist.

Remineralizating Soils for Optimum Elemental Balance
by David Yarrow July 2005, Acres U.S.A.
http://www.acresusa.com/magazines/archives/0705remineralize.htm

Remineralization of our agricultural land and garden soils with 90-plus
minerals is the goal of two lifelong advocates of sustainable organic food
production, Robert Cain and David Yarrow, who were brought together by
their common interest in the research of Maynard Murray, M.D.
As most Acres U.S.A. readers are aware, Dr. Murray was a medical doctor
and research scientist who was troubled by the obvious continual decline of
American health and the subsequently flourishing pharmaceutical industry.
He searched for reasons, on biological and chemical levels, as to why our
bodies lose their resistance to chronic illness and develop degenerative
disease.
His studies led him to the sea, where, miraculously, cancer, arthritis,
arteriosclerosis and aging on a cellular level seemingly did not exist. He
discovered that sea life is sustained in a balanced solution consisting of
all 90-plus atomic table elements. Murray observed that a cubic foot of
seawater contains considerably more living organisms than an equivalent
amount of soil.
Murray theorized that the apparent difference in disease resistance and
vitality between life on land and in the sea is due to mineral deficiencies
in our soil and food. He visualized an endless cycle wherein continents
rise from the sea rich with minerals. The constant effects of climate —
freezing, thawing, rainfall, and erosion — combined with mankind’s
historically poor stewardship of the land and increasing acid rain cause
topsoil minerals to go into solution. These mineral solutions then enter
streams and rivers and subsequently flow into the sea. Murray concluded
that these minerals hold the key to human health. Therefore, it made
perfect sense to recapture them and restore them to our soils.
Initially, he successfully experimented using diluted seawater on soils
and crops. Then he discovered that if water is totally removed from pure,
mineral-enriched seawater, 3.5 percent remains as solids. He called these
minerals “sea solids” and used them exclusively, during many years of
extensive research, on all ranges of crops and soil types. Murray even
developed a specialized use of sea solids for hydroponics, and operated a
successful 13-acre hydroponic fresh-produce farm in southern Florida. The
results were consistently the same: the plants flourished, matured more
rapidly, were healthier, were more disease and drought resistant, and
produced outstanding taste along with greater yields. In assays testing for
nutrients, foods grown with Murray’s sea solids had significantly more
minerals (ash content), vitamins (25 percent more vitamin C in tomatoes; 40
percent more vitamin A in carrots) and sugars. In addition, he witnessed
the same amazing results in all types of livestock and poultry that were
offered feed grown in soil enriched by his sea solids. Physiologically,
these animals were healthier, gained weight more rapidly, and reached
maturity sooner.
During his 30 years of research, Murray conclusively proved that the
proportions of trace minerals and elements present in pure seawater are
optimum for the growth and health of both land and sea life. Additionally,
he found that once these minerals and trace elements are restored to the
soil, reapplication is not necessary for five or more years, given normal
rainfall and climatic conditions. Cain, under Dr. Murray’s direction,
applied these minerals to both soil and hydroponic food production, and
personally tasted and witnessed their outstanding effects.
Since creating sea solids by desalinization of seawater is very costly,
Murray searched the earth for the best source of sea solids in their
natural form. He required expansive tidal flats on the banks of a
mineral-rich, unpolluted sea in an arid region with little or no rainfall.
Prior to his death in 1983, he disclosed to Cain the location he had found
to be the purest.
Only recently, Cain and Yarrow have begun mining sea solids from Murray’s
source and distributing the product throughout North America. Cain says he
believes Dr. Murray discovered the true “Fountain of Youth.” However,
the fountain with its life-enhancing properties is located not at a
springhead where a stream or river begins, but rather at the opposite end
of the ecosystem, where it empties into the sea.
Cain and Yarrow’s vision is to improve the quality of human health
through the food we eat by remineralizing the soil in which it is grown. In
their opinion, application of these extraordinary sea solids with their
90-plus elements — the sea’s full spectrum of minerals — to tired and
depleted soils is the perfect solution. They believe that as stewards of
the land, it is our responsibility to restore the mineral balance to soils
and subsequently the foods we ingest. Cain and Yarrow hope to convince all
stewards of the land to help sustain life on this planet by remineralizing
their soils and spreading the wisdom of sea energy agriculture.
