The recent animal-related posts jogged my failing memory
into recalling some interesting....and I believe, useful investigations
we conducted some time in the past. These endeavors revolved about the
possible efficacy of "kelp-based solutions" for nutritional support and
disease prevention/abatement in animal pets and livestock. Our results
were VERY encouraging.
The most efficacious protocol was as follows:
Starting with a concentrated solution of kelp (seaweed)
extract [ approx. 11 ounces of soluble powder in 1 gallon of water], we
used 2 tablespoons CONCENTRATE diluted in 1 gallon of water......as the
basic mixture. Our goal was to evaluate the benefits---if any---of
using this material as a nutritional support and/or a disease prevention
modality for domestic pets and livestock. The beneficial results
exceeded our expectations. In chickens furnished this solution free
choice, NO significant nutritional-based deficiencies were
detectable(less than .1%)......with them receiving 3 different
commercial feed mixtures. Among controls, a background pathogenic level
of 5% was a constant....and in some cases outbreaks of varying pathogens
expressed as high as 20%...on occasion. Among "purposely infected"
groups, naturally -occurring recovery/resistance spontaneously
established (lowering mortality from 60% to 10%) when the kelp solutions
were administered as the sole source of liquid intake AFTER THE
INFECTION. The speed and completeness of recovery was noticeably
enhanced when the parent solution was diluted 20%, by volume, with 10
ppm CS. This in spite of contentions/suspicions of antagonisms between
the silver colloid and the parent solution substances. Among subjects
furnished access to the Kelp X CS combination solution, we were able to
infect...via direct injection....less than 2% of the subjects----and the
resulting insults were, in almost all cases, quite mild. Mortality was
less than .05%.
Our results among dogs, cats, and birds.....were equally
impressive; although the physical number of subjects was much smaller.
We did encounter some difficulty in getting cats to drink water
containing this level of kelp.....at least in the beginning. The only
successful method involved maintaining them in cages.....during the
evaluations.
At the time of these experiments we did not utilize MSM,
vitamin supports, fluid electrolyte enhancement, etc.
A rather fascinating byline relating to this type
investigation is that a similar modality involving human volunteers
(older subjects....beyond 60) yielded superior results----when employing
a somewhat modified version----for individuals suffering from a variety
of chronic expressions. The principal modification involved a second
dilution of the kelp X CS with 25%, by volume, of complete sea-solid
solution (reduced from 35,000 ppm to 8750 ppm). The sea solid solution
may be constructed using any acceptable FULL SPECTRUM source (e.g.
Celtic Sea Salt, etc.....but never ANY white or leached marine salt).
This latter modification enabled a rather pronounced synergistic
effect. Interestingly, we utilized the same unmodified, agricultural
grade, kelp powder..... which we used in the animal experiments. Our
bacteriological tests (of these CS containing solutions) revealed no
viable pathogens extant.....prior to use for the human volunteers.
While there was little difference in the kelp
products we evaluted, we settled.....for the bulk of our tests.....upon
on one called Maxicrop. The reasons being that it gave the best
solubility results and seemed to evoke more pronounced biological
benefits----probably as a result of superior extraction/concentration
techniques. We do not endorse this----OR ANY OTHER---product. These
were, simply, our particular results under our particular criteria.
I hope some among you find this of interest.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
