Anyone familiar with this synergy ?
Not true. Cerium and to a lesser amount lanthanum are used as alloy (called ferrocerium, see Wiki) to make 'flint stones' for cigarette lighters. Those could readily be dissolved in sulfuric acid to make water soluble salts and used to convert your plants into heavy metal empoisoned toxic junk... just saying...But this stuff is very hard to get.
If you read the patent, it says one of the most effective ions to use was calcium in the form of calcium chloride. This is just about the cheapest salt there is, because it is what they use for road de-icing. I have some tria and will source some CaCl as per the instructions in the patent and give this a shot...

A: It could. Many heavy metals do strange things, bind to receptors, replace catalytic metals in proteins, but most of all, they are toxic. Sometimes, these effects are rather selective at a given concentration and in a specific species or an certain type of in vitro experiment; though usually, they are just harmful. Look for example at arsenic (no heavy metal but a metalloid/semi-metal), take a little bit and you'll look great (nicely coloured cheeks for instance), take more or over a long period and you'll .A: With all the info I read and posted could it not have any merit at all in nano amounts as a synergistic element with TRIA.???
B: From my notes it would seem a lot of micro's are poison at higher concentration also.
C: I would make another TRIA. thread but I can't think of a good title.
I've dealt with arsenic in food testing for years. There's actually organic and inorganic forms in a class called arsenates. I know Japan is only interested in arsenic trioxide levels. I can run the same sample in a lab using two different test methods. One method shows the total and the other the inorganic form. The total is usually about 10x higher than the inorganic value. That's the terms people use...organic and inorganic.Look for example at arsenic (no heavy metal but a metalloid/semi-metal), take a little bit and you'll look great (nicely coloured cheeks for instance), take more or over a long period and you'll .
Dam, cut my finger today and writing with a band-aid is a bitch... always hit the wrong keys ;( .A butcher in some Chinese province hangs his bacon outside the apartment as he reckons that the city smog & pollution gives the bacon a nice flavour . More smogged than smoked .

But cerium and lanthanum play no biological role and hence are no 'micros'.
They do. And many such elements are used in computers, smartphones, HID lights etc. and are already getting rare. If China starts to restrict the export even further, many tech companies will be screwed...I have heard China holds most of the rare earth.
