Hi chiron,
Your question: lots of this person's post makes sense, but what about the arsenic? Is it really an issue?
"...The preferred forms of iodine, surprisingly is not kelp. Kelp is commonly contaminated with arsenic. So unless you can get the manufacturer to confirm through data analysis that it is not contaminated, iodoral or Lugols iodine is your best bet..."

Answer; So you want to be a Purest again?
Ok, then let us look at this from a purest point of view:
Elemental Iodine is a Poison!
Elemental Arsenic is a Poison!
Elemental Selenium is a Poison!
Do you want me to go on?
Our Hearts must have a Trace amount of Arsenic to stay Health, but this must be in a Complexed form, NOT in Elemental form!
Our Thyroid and the rest of our body must have a Trace amount of Iodine to stay Healthy, but this must be in a Complexed form, not in Elemental form!
If this was not True, then Why are all the Iodine Purple Pill pushers always Seeking other Minerals to Buffer the Poisonous effects of the Elemental Iodine they are ingesting to Stop the supposed Detox reactions they are having, which may instead be Poisoning them from overdosing on Elemental Iodine!
Oh, so some want to object me stating Elemental Iodine is a Poison?
Where have these Purple Pill pushers went to Grade school?
Enough Elemental Iodine may Kill any Bacteria etc!
How can it do this if it isn't a Poison?
For all those who want to be Purest, I have but one question:
Please show everyone where in Nature we can get any of these trace Elements in their Pure Elemental form, where they have not been Complexed with other Minerals in Nature!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???????????????
So these Elements cannot be found in their Elemental form in Nature!
I wonder what our Creator knows that the Purests of the world have not learned?
Anytime an Element has become bound with Live Carbons and properly Complexed with other Minerals as in the case of top Quality Kelp, this Element no longer acts as an Elemental Poison!
Now let us consider if Kelp has not been allowed to Complex it's Minerals and contains too much NPN, in this case it may contain Iodine or Arsenic in Elemental form still as a Poison!
This is NO Different than all the rest of the Poor Quality foods folks eat every day that contain NPN!
These Poor quality foods all have this same problem:
The term "nitrate toxicity" is commonly used but the toxic principle is actually
nitrite. When Nitrate is converted to nitrite. Nitrite is absorbed from the
digestive system converting blood hemoglobin to methemoglobin. Methemoglobin
cannot transport oxygen to body tissues, so People and animals die from oxygen
insufficiency.
Why do you think I suggest we Seek to find the Best Quality of any kind of food including Kelp?
Kelp is a plant just like any other plant that grows, which we eat!
Why should it be any Different?
If it is growing in Polluted Waste water coming out of an Industrial river into the ocean where the kelp is growing, Why would we NOT Expect it to be Poor Quality like any other Plants grown in a Polluted Environment?
Where has everyones Common Sense run off too?
The Sicker and More Diseased folks become the Less Oxygen our Brain gets and the Easier we become Deceived by False ideas!
It also seems that the Less Common Sense our Brain retains!
Why should this come as a surprise to us?
By the way, if it seems I am being Tough on you , I am because you should know better by Now!
Cause and Effect!
Choose Life or Death this Day!
Smile Tis your choice.
