Hello S&JY:
I just received this email. _____ From: S&JY [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 1:48 PM To: Silver List Subject: CS>Lecithin Brooks & others, I have decided to try Brooks' recommendation for mineral supplementation using Thorvin kelp granules mixed with Lecithin granules. What is a good (inexpensive) bulk source for Lecithin granules (e.g. 5-10 pounds)? My initial look on the web resulted in higher costs per pound for the Lecithin than the kelp. I don't relish paying more for something to make kelp more ingestible than for the kelp itself! Thanks, --Steve Y. The TO: in your email is addressed to the silver list. (See Yellow highlight below) Just happens that I got my 55 lb. (22 KG.) bag of aromatic Marine Kelp sitting next to me. So this email's question is important to me directly. Somehow it is not now on the Silverlist. I used to take Lecithin Daily. Now the outpouring of Anti-Soy information has me wondering. If GE soy is the source, then one ounce lecithin is made up many pounds of soy. My doctor who prescribed the Lecithin is no longer practicing medicine due to a severe accident. This is the excerpt of my saved Silverlist email that suggest Soy with Marine Kelp. Thanks Kurt P.S. For those interested in conducting their own "experimental investigations".....to easily/satisfactorily ingest a heaping tablespoon of granulated kelp, divide into three quantities and consume as follows: take 1 teaspoon of granulated lecithin (an emulsified phospholipid derived from soy) place in the mouth and add a couple of teaspoons of water...swish lightly to mix well and add one teaspoon of granulated kelp and dilute with additional water until an acceptable mixture obtains. Next, wash it all down with a glass of plain water. This approach allows individuals having a pronounced gag reflex to easily swallow a mixture they would, otherwise, be unable to do. One very useful side benefit is the wonderful effect of lecithin, both as a splendid emulsifier....and an outstanding source of assimilable phosphorous (an extremely important mineral difficult to obtain in adequate amounts in modern diets). Lecithin also aids greatly in assisting removal of atherosclerotic deposits from the cardio-vascular system. Note: I advise against attempting to swallow these amounts (especially a heaping tablespoon) of kelp----without mixing it with lecithin. The main reason being that kelp is very hygroscopic and will absorb the water fraction so rapidly that a majority of persons will gag. Kelp will even initiate a demand on the moisture lining the epithelial tissue of the mouth. Mixed with lecithin the emulsified compound goes down beautifully.....and makes a MARVELOUS adjunct to protocols such as Mathias Rath's vitamin C based cardio-vascular health protocol.
