Why do I always have to sound like such a grump...I know thats what you all are thinking... however...Kelp is wonderful...UNLESS a person is allergic or highly reactive to it...then it can send you heartrate WAY up there...try muscle testing with the Kelp before using it for the first time. by the way Brooks...why do you think I would be allergic to Kelp but not to Iodine?

I knew that kelp contained iodine, but can you tell me if chlorella does too? Also would it be enough in kelp tablets to re-balance IYO. Many thanks. Dee -------Original Message------- Without question, in my mind, the most useful recommendation for supporting human health which I have ever given this list membership....has been to encourage the inclusion of Marine Kelp in their daily diets. We, categorically contend, without the full-spectrum of required minerals (in assimilable form)....complete utilization of the vitamin family is not possible. Kelp, alone, among present life-forms.... avails us this treasure for human health. Do forgive this lengthy post, but it is well-meant. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
