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?  V.

Hi Brooks, I was very interested in your post as I believe I have an iodine 
deficiency.  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

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.
