Admittedly, I hijacked this response from another forum...


Here is one of Dr. Richard Olree's comments about what he and his Family do for health :

I take magnesium and selenium daily. I make sure I get some sunlight. I sometimes consume supplementary fatty omega oils. I cook with olive oil every day. And I attempt to get every bit of Aluminum out of my Life. I try to keep myself and my Family away from Noxious fumes, which can be inhaled and cause damage. A lot of this stuff the body can regulate its own, but there are a few basic metals that it needs in order to do so. I take "Sea Kelp" for my Iodine once or twice a week--not just one pill. but 10, 15, 20 at a time. just like sitting down and eating a meal full of "Sea Kelp". it's interesting that the women of Japan, with 10 percent of their Diet being "Sea Kelp" , have the Lowest incidence of Breast Cancer in the world. Seawater has blessed the earth with all the necessary minerals, we just have to know how to use them .

take it. it is just fine. some think(and i do too) that some Iodine in its natural form helps the purified Iodine to absorb better. unfortunately, these days our oceans are too polluted and Iodine too depleted(less available) from what it used to be(my theory) for kelp to be your sole source of iodine for your total needs. so when your Lugols gets there, keep taking one a day of the kelp at least till its gone. it might help your body do with the iodine what its supposed to.
