From our continuing interest in, and research on, of the value of using Marine Kelp....in various forms (particularly, the granulated and powdered forms), we have encountered ever-increasing
protocols of true value. e.g. Studies prosecuted at Texas Tech University have effectively demonstrated that granulated or powdered Marine Kelp fed to livestock 14 days prior to slaughter....had a very pronounced control-effect upon e-Coli (0157 strain; a toxic variety). Tests Of 290 individuals receiving the kelp supplement, only 13 percent tested positive for 0157. Of 289 not receiving the seaweed (kelp) supplement, 83% tested positive for 0157 variety of E.
Coli. This is no small result...by any conventional scientific measure.
Additionally, we have found, in our rather extensive feeding experiments, that ground (granulated) or powdered marine kelp demonstrates to be a very powerful inhibitor of a majority of the various strains of mold (fungi) contaminants commonly occurring among animal feed products (especially, ground feeds). In fact, in our moldy feed experiments...not a SINGLE horse, from among ten candidates... manifested any challenging effects from varying degrees of mold-contaminated sack feed....when fed 3 heaping tablespoons (less than 1/3 cup) of granulated kelp in their 2 gallon ration of pelleted or ground feed concentrates. Conversely, 4 of 9 of the 289 experimental candidates (those not receiving the kelp supplement) did, in fact, manifest considerable digestive discomfort.....together with a pronounced toxic-bacterial bloom (E Coli, 0157 among them). In 2 cases, requiring medical action
to gain acceptable relief.
We feed all of the dogs (21 of them)in our Orphaned Dog
Program, one heaping teaspoon of granulated kelp---every day. They LOVE it. We have NEVER encountered a dog that did not immediately develop a powerful desire for granulated kelp (a few were reluctant to eat it for the first two days....but soon thereafter developed what can only be described as an ADDICTION for this organic mineral supplement. Unfortunately, CATS (as a group) do not respond very well to powdered/granulated kelp....but DO respond very well to LIQUID kelp extract----when mixed with their normal daily ration. This is especially so when mixed with any form of canned cat food (at about 1/4 teaspoon daily for an 8 lb. cat). In fact, a majority appear to develop the same desire for the balanced mineral spectrum...as do the dogs.
We have determined, to our satisfaction, that Marine Kelp
is the SEMINAL element in establishing a well-functioning digestive process in a majority of all higher mammals---humans included. Proper and sufficient mineral intake is ABSOLUTELY essential for adequate absorption/utilization of vitamins....and the production of
the majority of the enzymes necessary for acceptable health.
There are, combinations of other substances that will achieve, essentially, the desirable effects of marine kelp-----but at much greater financial cost----and increased effort in collecting/measuring them.....properly.
One little-known fact regarding marine kelp is.....one heaping tablespoon of granulated kelp will improve the tolerance of an average 150 lb. adult human----to sodium chloride (table salt), by 400%.

p.s. I would be remiss if I did not add this codicil. One heaping
teaspoon daily, of granulated kelp (or 12 50 mg kelp tablets) has demonstrated to be a SUPERB prophylactic for addressing BHP (benign hypertrophic prostate). This, together with 600 mg daily, of almost any currently available phytosterol complex (containing at least 50% of beta sitosterol) furnishes VERY POWERFUL correction/relief to, even,long standing cases of BHP. My personal experience was of 20 years standing (between the ages of 32 and 62). We do not recommend
suppliers of any supplement, as against any/all others. However, I do sometimes list a supplier I have found to be more reliable, or so much more economical...as to merit investigation by others. In this case, I used (and continue to do so) the Phytosterol Complex powder (in 100 gram Bulk bottle) from Beyond-a-Century.
Note: If one does initiate this protocol, do be aware that the more challenging your BHP, the MORE OFTEN you will experience urgency for the first 5 to 7 days (this, because the contraction
of the swollen tissue around the urethra, initially, seems to aggravate the insult). In several cases of our research, we found that ingesting the Phytosterol Complex before 4:00 P.M. each day....
improved/lengthened the interval between and decreased the number of times urgency required rising during the night.
