Dear Andy,
I believe a clarification may be in order. If you will review my
comments, i believe you will find I was referring to to "fresh"
kelp....not dehydrated, granulated kelp----when I made the statement
about my Japanese friend. One pound of fresh kelp will yield about 2 to
4 ounces of dehydrated (properly) granulated product, on average; or so
I am instructed. This would indicate a very high water fraction in this
vegetative organism.
I apologize if I was not sufficiently clear in
my earlier statement.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
p.s. As I have stated, previously, it is the "isolated metal fraction"
that constitutes the real threat....not the organically sequestered
arsenic. There is an enormous difference in toxicity between the two.

Dear Nancy,
If you will send me the man's mailing address, I will be happy to send
him an "Airbrush-type" nebulizer, together with the proper hose assembly
to connect to any standard Oxygen bottle connector....at no charge.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
Dear Brooks,
You have always been a gentleman and the above post emphasizes your
kindness and compassion to your fellow man. Those are indeed rare
qualities these days. I just wanted to say thanks for all you have done
for this list and the people on it.
Okay, enough ass kissing. Now for the mandatory Off Topic segment. I
sent an email to the manufactures of Thorvin Kelp asking them what dose
I should take as a dietary supplement. Below was their response:
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your interest in Thorvin Kelp. For your personal care use you
can contact our distributor, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable, you can reach them
at 207-565-2907.
Animals are capable of regulating their own intake based on need. For all
animals we recommend a free choice method of supplementing, meaning that
kelp is available to the animals at all times. This method works best
because the animals can and do vary their intake, tailored to their needs,
which can change with external factors (i.e. seasons, high stress periods,
and ect.) Our intake references are based on twenty years of animal
observations, averaging the intake of different groups of animals in
different areas. Sheep, goats and horses all use about 1/2 oz. per head per
day, while beef and dairy cattle use 1-3 oz. per head per day. Kelp can be
added to poultry and swine rations at 1-2% of the ration by weight. Dogs
use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per day and cats use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per day.
For fertilizer use we recommend 200 to 400 lbs. per acre broadcast or in the
row, 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. of garden, 1 teaspoon per 6 inch pot for
houseplants, and 10 lbs. per ton of compost.
Sincerely
Melissa Martin
Thorvin Kelp
As you can see, they were very careful not to give specific instructions
for human use, but it would seem that your "heaping tablespoon a day" is
right in the ballpark (1 tablespoon = 1/2 oz. by my calculations). My
concern was that your "Japanese friend" who was eating a pound a day
might be getting a pretty heavy load of arsenic.
Best Regards,
Andy Scott
