Kelp - Sea Herb - Thyroid Balancer & Good for Hair Skin Nails

Kelp is an excellent source of minerals from the sea, especially iodine which is very important for the thyroid gland to function properly. The thyroid gland is an important regulator of metabolism and weight.

Kelp cultivation dates back to 17th century Japan. Kelp has been part of the Japanese diet for over 2000 years in sushi, noodles, soup, medicine, etc.

Kelp is one of the highest sources of minerals and vitamins. It is especially high in natural iodine plus all the cell salts that are so important to the proper function of the body and the thyroid. It is also known as bladderwrack.

Kelp should be good for everyone due to it's strengthening effect to the entire body. It is especially good for ailing and convalescent persons and during pregnancy. It supports the nervous system and is helpful for weight loss by raising the metabolism and burning excess calories.

The micronutrient values of Kelp greatly exceed those in soil based crops; more importantly, their trace minerals are in organic forms the body can readily absorb and use. Kelp is known to contain many vitamins, chelated minerals and essential amino acids. (chelated meaning - bound with a protein ion, or best explained as - in a form that can be absorbed easily and directly by the body. Because of its natural iodine content, Kelp has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. In other words, thin people with thyroid trouble can gain weight by using Kelp, and obese people can lose weight. Physicians have been known to recommend the use of Kelp for obesity, poor digestion, flatulence, and obstinate constipation. It has been reported to be very beneficial to the sensory nerves, membranes surrounding the brain, spinal cord, and brain tissue. Other uses are for hair loss, goiter, ulcers, arteries, and nails. Kelp is said to protect us from the effects of radiation, and softens stools.

Kelp is beneficial for hair, skin and nails. It helps combat stress, eczema, glands and radiation poisoning. Kelp can also prevent birth defects, aid in pregnancy and strengthens the adrenal glands.

It is also an excellent subject for singing about. For example HERE. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Excellent. But can you just re-do the science and include stuff like "helps maintain erections, boosts semen production, keeps breasts firm, prevents sagging bottoms.." and suchlike?

I think my next venture will be a fresh Kelp bar in Covent Garden - say £4.50 for a small glass of kelp juice. Now to find a Kelp supplier who can do daily deliveries ....
 
You want useless information my bud?

During WWII it was found extract of kelp made camoflage netting impervious to radar. (almost a yottie connection).
Production plants were built at Barcaldine near Oban and near Girvan to make alginate now used in a range of processes from brewing (finings and to make the head stable) to welding electrodes and pharmeceuticals.

So there!
