Kelp
is a type of seaweed which is
rich in trace elements. Besides iodine, kelp contains calcium, phosphorus,
iron, copper, potassium, manganese, sulphur, and other trace elements
totaling twenty-two known minerals in all. The iodine in kelp is in the
same form of amino acids as it occurs in the thyroid gland.
A shortage of iodine
causes fatigue, goiter, and gray hair in some individuals.
Adelle
Davis wrote : "Even large goiters disappear when
sufficient iodine is taken together with an adequate diet; the process is
slow but eventually new, healthy cells will replace the abnormal
ones."
Kelp tablets should be
considered what they are: food, not drugs. Kelp when powdered may be used
as seasoning in soup, drinks, etc.
