Preparation and amount: Infusion: Steep 5-15 min. Take 1-2 cups daily. Tincture: Take 5-10 drops 1-2 times daily. Fluid extract: Take 10 drops 1-2 times daily. Powder: Sprinkle on food. Take 1 tsp. 1-2 times daily. Powder: Take 3-5 #0 capsules (10-30 grains) 1-2 times daily.
Purposes: California kelp, Norwegian kelp, Nova Scotia dulse, and European Irish moss are all primarily useful for the trace minerals they contain. (California kelp is not as nutritionally good as the others.)
Internally, this seaweed provides an abundance of natural iodine which is missing from much of the soil on the continents. In addition to their nutritive value, when eaten, the seaweed absorbs waste from the body fluids, binds with poisons, and carries them off. A factor, called sodium alginate, in kelp binds with radioactive strontium-90 in the intestine and carries it out of the body. This is an extremely important discovery.
Warning: It is said that, because of their high iodine content, very large quantities of seaweed could produce goiter-like symptoms. But, in reality, the excess trace minerals tend to, rather quickly, be eliminated in the sweat and through the kidneys.
Nice tip.
