Understood. My comments were purely about one shot dosing and the potential benefits for those wanting to simplify things. Wasn't giving any credence to the mechanics of using their products although did seem plausible until I read your responses in the thread you attached. Hadn't seen that first.
In my situation, I'd be dosing AFR or CarboCalcium which don't have the pH affect of carbonate of hydroxide. In my limited knowledge it seems safe. Yes or no to how I'm proposing?
I don't know - but - it would seem to me that if they are flagging something - the should know what they are doing - if not - there would be little to gain from reporting - I think many are based on NSW - and I agree with your philosophy
Call me skeptical but you’d think that if they had imperial scientific based backed proof of these ranges per element then they’d publish it or we’d find it somewhere. Not one knowing where to look. I’d be looking at the ICP companies to provide that proof vs just telling me on a report I need X of this because my levels are too low and y of that to reduce others or the fall back solution being a WC. They however somehow know exactly how much of their product one needs to buy to then solve what their test shows.
I think skepticism is what is required. Vendor conflict of interest is a real concern when deciding on how to deal with information supplied by them. Information from a vendor can range from that of a snake oil salesman’s pitch to just a stretch of the truth. What vendor supplies proof to support claims about the products they sell?Call me skeptical but you’d think that if they had imperial scientific based backed proof of these ranges per element then they’d publish it or we’d find it somewhere.

I’m going to wing it and just assume NSW as my base but not sweat being slightly above their reported critical levels unless life shows me they are stressed although no guarantee that stress actually related to that I’m being told to correct.
More art than science and lots of upsells to navigate. Sounding cynical but then I’ve learned about vibrant, pH buffers claiming no alkalinity increase, kalk with magnesium and Bolus that only works with one’s product where all the science disputes their claims. Seems like swimming upstream in shark infested waters
Some salts now come with ICP results. Hopefully was from the same batch but who knows. Truth in advertising or marketing something I was taught to question in sixth grade. Kind of like spinning the bottle back then. Are you getting the pretty girl
Don't you think this is a gimmick? As you said - hopefully was from the same batch. And - the 'questioning' started long before that i.e. 'caveat emptor'Some salts now come with ICP results.

Don't know what to think anymore. Once there was a claim of Kalk + mag which was dissolved with science from a company we are supposed to trust based supposedly on science. One needs a PHD in chemistry to traverse these waters. Simpler a day when we fed flakes and changed bowls of goldfish waterDon't you think this is a gimmick?
