Kelp is a plant of the sea and is harvested off the coast of many of the oceans of the world,in places such as California, Norway and Newfoundland. As a product of the ocean, it contains many of the numerous elements that the oceans contain. Since the seas are water, they can dissolve into solutions the many elemental products that the land under the seas contain and thus, transmit these elements to the many plants that grow in the seas.

Kelp is one of those plants that is readily available and useable to mankind for many purposes an nutrition is one of them. Among the many elements in Kelp are the minerals to include Iodine, bromine, alginic acid, alginates and their organic salts, especially sodium alginates. These effect such organs as the thyroid gland which has very vital functions to perform in the body in the way of controls over many important Raccoons, such as the endocrine system. Japanese's studies show a direct relationship between the ingestion of the Algin contained in Kelp and the prevention of breast cancer and have concluded that Algin is responsible This is both a mechanical (due to the fiber content of Kelp) and biochemical action to enhance immune system function. It is reasoned that the alginates effect the T-ceils.

Kelp, a 'Gift from the sea' provides its treasured iodine, which is needed by the thyroid to healthily function. Due to its unique ingredients acquired Rom the rich supply of nutrients Rom the sea, Kelp has the buffering ability to neutralize wastes from the body Quids to be more easily discharged from the body.

Kelp also helps soothe an irritated throat and mucous membranes. Kelp's action soothes coughs, dissolves firm masses,such as tumors, treats enlarged thyroids, lymph, node enlargement, swollen and painful testes and reduces edema, all of which can be caused by the malfunction of the thyroid gland Iodine is important for thyroid disorders, whether underactive or overactive and obesity.

Iodine feeds the thyroid which controls metabolism. For this reason, Kelp has been used for a long time in weight loss formulas. Sodium alginate is known to reduce strontium absorption (radiation). Kelp is effective as a diet aid, thyroid stimulant and glandular balancer. Kelp aids in a cleansing regimen, since it can bind radioactive strontium, barium, and cadmium in the gastrointestinal tract,preventing their absorption into the body.

Kelp may reduce the risk of poisoning from environmental pollution by providing fiber that increases fecal bulk and reducing cholesterol levels through the retardation of bile acid absorption. Kelp,by its normalizing effect on the thyroid gland has effectively accelerated the burning of excess calories by regulating the body's metabolism.

Uric acid contributes to rheuimatic pain and Kelp has those elements that help handle uric acid and eliminate it from the body system. Acidity and lack of essential nutrients for nerves and their insulating sheaths leads to inflammation and neuritis. Iodine acts as a tranquilizer and interrupts the disease chain,"disease-to-pain-to-aggravation-more-disease-more pain and so on".
