Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Cheryl, Here is the information I have in my files. They are in VA so if you live closer than TX, you might get a better price. These are 50# bags and come in coarse, fine and not sure what else. Jean ********** shipping rates are 10 bags 139.22, 20 bags 207.70, 40 bags 342.53. These are from Southeastern freight lines. thanks ------ End of Forwarded Message This Countryside ad was in the August ACRES, USA. They said $40 to $42 per bag if by the ton. 1-888-699-7088, Country Side Otherwise, $58 a bag for 10, plus shipping at shipping rates are 10 bags 139.22, 20 bags 207.70, 40 bags 342.53.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Which onen? Kelp I hope this isn't of topic but I was wondering about the iodine properties of kelp tablets in particular if used to protect the thyroid from radiation fallout. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 How do you know it's clean? The water from the large river flowing through there (forgotten the name) has highly toxic stuff in it.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hard to check it out without a reference, location or name? However the seaweed that is harvested for us tested for chemical, heavy metal toxins at the beginning of each season prior to harvest. Why it remains clean? The West Coast of Vancouver Island is very remote and there are no industries have been there. Most of the coastal area there is ecological reserves.

Any iodine intake, whether from kelp or via Lugol's/Iodoral, will require the companion nutrients, because the companion nutrients are there to help with the detoxing that occurs when the body has enough iodine and starts kicking out the bromides that sit on the iodine cell receptors and cause illness. There are not a " lot " of iodine companion nutrients. The companion nutrients are: selenium magnesium Vit C unrefined salt That is NOT a long list and it is a very important list to be taking for general health. -- moderator At 11:22 AM 3/30/2011, you wrote: >It is possible to collect unpolluted kelp.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I just had a look at wikipedia to see what the dose for potassium iodide was for an adult in the case of nuclear fallout. I was wrong. It is not 150 mg but 130 mg. But that's still an awful lot of kelp tablets or a very, very big pile of seaweed to munch through to get any protection.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I never said iodine was 'unsafe'.What I said was kelp was the safest. What I meant was ... the companion nutrients are ALREADY present and in the chelated form (easily absorbable) and in the right balance For some iodine is easily measurable and the best solution for them, for others, like myself I am looking for a way to supplement my diet (with a food source) and lifestyle to prevent future problems that I am susceptible to. Kelp is more a longer time solution because it can be turned into an enjoyable part of ones diet.
