Kelp: one more "Moreless homerun" advise...
Seaweeds
The weeds of the ocean have so much to give us. Let them help you:
Prevent and relieve osteoporosis
Maintain strong, flexible bones
Seaweeds contain lavish amounts of every mineral needed to create and maintain solid bone mass. Kelp is an exceptionally rich source.
Lower blood pressure and cholesterol, increase cardiac efficiency
Eliminate varicose veins and hemorrhoids
Japanese research confirms the cardiotonic and hypotensive effects of seaweeds.
Maintain healthy thyroid function
Relieve incontinence, vaginal dryness, and persistent hot flashes
Nourish the glandular and urinary systems
Seaweeds are superb sources of the nutrients most needed by the endocrine, circulatory, and immune systems. Regular use helps maintain adequate production of all hormones, especially thyroid hormones. Lavish use may reverse hypothyroidism.
Increase immune functioning
Increase stamina
Minimize the effects of stress, chemicals, and radiation
Lengthen life span
Algin in seaweed escorts damaging compounds harmlessly out of the body. Free radicals are also eliminated. Vitamins E, C, and A are found abundantly in seaweeds. I use seaweed to protect myself from air pollution, chemicals in my food, and the thinning ozone layer. It can be used freely for several days before and after any X-ray, from dental ones to mammograms.
Improve digestion
Restore sexual interest and enjoyment
Ease sore joints
Bring a glossy glow to hair and skin
As befits denizens of the ocean, seaweeds are especially good at nourishing juices: digestive juices, joint juices, emotional juices, erotic juices. Seaweed helps them all flow.
All seaweeds are edible, so you can gather your own, if you wish. Kelp, wakame, khombu, dulse, hijiki, and arame are sold at Oriental and health food stores.
Dosage: As a vegetable, 1/2 ounce/15 grams dry weight, weekly.
As a condiment, unlimited daily use.
