 although I know that Hv doesn't endorse kelp

Yes I do. I just gave a long explanation in my previous post. Kelp is a seaweed. And I use various seaweeds in my products.

I'm very sorry, I thought there were specific problems with kelp, so is this product ok to alternate with the dulse? it actually contains some dulse too.

The only commercial algae that I have a problem with is the blue-green algae being harvested from Klamath Lake. This algae is toxic.

Dulse is another form of seaweed/kelp. I think this is where you were thinking I was against seaweeds/kelp. Certain seaweeds such as bladderwrack and dulse are rich in polysaccharides. These are not good in cases of autoimmunity since they increase white blood cell activity and thus the rate of destruction.



a question to Hv:
since I began taking iodine, a month ago, with lugol's initially and then in natural form, I've generally felt it's doing good to me, my feet in particular don't hurt so much any more when I walk. But I'm having these monstrous pimples coming out in my face, I normally don't tend to any acne so it's the iodine. I remember in the iodine forum they used to mention something like bromine-acne? could it be that? I never had the habit of soft drinks, but I had plenty of sweeteners like aspartame or similar since young age. What can I do to help my body eliminate the bromine - or whatever it is- in another way? this way of the pimples is definitely not too convenient, but I can bear it if it's only temporary

It IS NOT from bromine, it is the iodine. We just had a thread on this recently that ended up in a debate. But the research I did verified that iodine can cause acne in some sensitive individuals. Here was the thread:

And a recent thread on bromine:

Sorry, I wasn't aware of these threads as unfortunately I don't have much time to follow the forum, and CZ in general.

No problem. It is actually good that these threads get reposted anyway so more people will be aware of these potential side effects. And most people will not have the time or energy to dig through all the posts looking for previously posted information. So I don't mind reposting the links.

Whatever the cause, I suppose that it wouldn't hurt to lower the dosage a bit? At the moment I'm taking 4 caps a day. In the label they say 3 a day with meals, but I eat most often only twice a day so I thought I could go for 2 caps per meal, twice a day. Would you suggest to reduce it to 1 caps twice a day?

Since the problem is with excess iodine being pushed out through the pores it would be a good idea to reduce your intake. This is actually a great example of more not always being better.

on another note, I do remember a post of yours on acne as connected to problems with the liver, and I know my liver needs some care too. Curiously, every time I happened to supplement with iodine I also had random pain in the liver, years ago after a few weeks with lugols the pain got quite serious until I expelled 2 flukes, and after that it disappeared. So now it could be that some other fluke is around and that the iodine is disturbing it. I certainly need to address the health of my liver a bit better in the immediate future.

- sorry Infinitelove for hijacking your thread with my personal questions, I'm finished now :) -

Not a problem. That is in large part  why this forum is here for so we can all share.
