Is Kelp a good source of Iodine?
The question came up because I have been taking kelp supplements for over 20 years and still turned up with an iodine deficiency.
Once I started supplementing with Iodoral iodine, I couldn't believe the change it made in me, especially in my bone/leg strength and balance. Here's one doctor's take: http://curezone.com/faq/q.asp?a=13,281,2962&q=657 Quote:
and there was this article: Vitamins With Kelp Not an Adequate Source of Iodine for Pregnant Women http://www.medpagetoday.com/OBGYN/Pregnancy/13029 But they don't really speak to the adequacy of using kelp to obtain sufficient iodine. So what do you guys think? |
You can buy dried powdered kelp in the Asian section of a health food store or Whole Foods in a shaker container, much like salt. It's harvested in Maine. No additives.

I think the Eadeses discussed this in their newest book, The Six Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle, though I cannot find the passage right now. They said the same - kelp is inadequate, use Iodoral. Quote:
Glad to hear the testimonial. I've been using up some kelp tabs but I'll break down and buy the Iodoral now (I think they have it on amazon). |
i have just ordered lugols solution and am hoping for positive results. what's the difference btw that and iodoral?

There was an article a while back about kelp supplements being contaminated with arsenic ....

I looked up the section in The Six Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle, they ran an Iodine load test and they found that despite eating what they believed to be a diet that contained a fair amount of natural iodine from dried kelp, sea vegetables, salty foods and iodized salt - one retained 50 percent and one 60 percent of the iodine load. They corrected this with an iodine supplementation and switched to naturally harvested sea salt. They didn't state which supplement that they switched to. |
So glad I read this! I was using Thyadine and it helped alot I stopped and really feel the difference now..Off to Amazon to get some Lugols!
