>>I receive anywhere from 35-150 mg a day of Iodine from a few teaspoons of kelp much cheaper than a Lugol's tab<<
Greetings Aye,
I fear you're proceeding from misinformation somewhere along the line. There is ample research to show (various sources) that one would have to consume (at the VERY minimum) several ounces of kelp to equal a mere 13 mg daily (that 'average' consumption of the Japanese). They are able to obtain their 'average' with less weight, but the type of seaweed they prefer is not exported.
I'm sorry to disagree with you (as I'm sure you know how much I respect you), but to think one can get 35-150 mg a day worth of Iodine from a few teaspoons of kelp borders on insanity. MICROgrams, maybe...but milligrams? If you've got proof, PLEASE post it.
Also, I'm guessing you haven't read all the studies and reports of the high levels of arsenic in kelp?
Am I understanding that you are advising others to eat seaweeds that have spent their life floating in an ocean of poisons & toxic chemicals...in order to get enough iodine? Foods taken out of the ocean (sadly) are no longer "natural" at all :(
