I would very much like to see any scientific research you have to back up any of the above comments. Much of what you just touted is myth which is passed on from mouth-to-mouth but has little scientific proof to back it up. If you have the data, please share it.
I would like to refer you to several articles from scientists regarding the use of salt in aquaria to assist in your search for data.
