I have not read Dr. Rons work so I can't comment on it.
What Gaaza is trying to get at is this.

Kent says that if copper concentration is that high, you will get invert deaths. Gaaza explains that Dr. Ron's tests showed invert deaths with Kent salt. Therefore there's a possibility that copper concentration is high in the Kent mix. Now, its not certain what exactly in the Kent salt caused a higher death rate. Copper is just one of many metals that tested high at the lab but it is a proven toxin.

Many companies claim many things as I know. Sure, you can take Kent at their word. But then we have to take Marine Enterprises, Aquacraft, etc at their word as well. Then how about the Atkinson and Bingman studies? Should we ignore those test results?

I think what people are hoping for are not company statements but results from more research. But we certainly do appreciate your efforts to communicate with Kent.
