Spinach:
“Copper taken directly by humans is toxic. When spinach grows in the presence of copper as in those great fields in Northern Michigan (near the copper deposits I got to know at Phelps Dodge), the spinach takes in the copper in a way that is structurally and mechanically geared with the metabolic gears of humans. Copper is all right and fills in a deficiency if it fits properly. Spinach accomplishes the gearing. A gear is designed to mesh with other gears. But one loose gear put into the machinery will strip all the others. When it is on the right pinion it meshes with the other gears and can bridge a gear-train gap. That’s exactly what happens to copper and spinach. Henry Schroeder worked with the trace elements. He showed that one Chromium atom is the difference between a diabetic and a nondiabetic. The word diet makes for great confusion. It’s not under-nourishment, it’s just getting the right deficiency chemistry into the brain which may be lacking certain gears.”
