I have hypothyroid condition, and was told taking kelp would be good for it. However, regular Kelp is so high in salt that I began to have nose bleeds soon after taking it. So, I switched to Dulse . . . which has much less salt, but also much less Iodine . . . BUT it also has much MORE manganese, which is necessary for the uptake of the Iodine. (Kelp is very LOW in manganese.)
One teaspoon of Kelp is reportedly the most one should take. . . . But, is 1 tsp. of Dulse enough to take its place? And, what is the highest safe dose of Dulse considered to be?
I haven't been able to find any source that spells out specifically how much Dulse is the equivalent of 1 tsp. Kelp . . . for the equivalent therapeutic effect, considering that the Iodine in the Dulse is more bio-available due to the additional manganese in it . . . but also that the amount of Iodine is much lower in the Dulse.
Does anyone know of any good online info. or discussion regarding this, of which they could share the link?
Any health problem is in the long time in the making and usually takes a long time to heal.
Megadoses of any perceived "magic bullet" is normally counterproductive.
Normally there are many (not just one) lifestyle changes that has to be made in order to address the overall problems that led to the condition.
The safest thing to do is to eat plenty of vegetables (including sea vegetables) in moderation, get plenty of rest, and talk to health care professionals and other people who have had similar conditions and gather information which may be applicable to you. Everyone is different and the accrued problems are definitely different.
Remember moderation is King. The body can assimilate just so much especially when it is already ill. Be patient and be smart. Look for small steps in the right direction not immediate cures.
I've been dosing with Iosol Iodine on Dr. David Williams recommendations for probably 5 yrs...he says low dose 1-3 drops in "clean" water daily...that's what I usually take. Iodine is needed for all body tissues, breast included. When I have stopped the Iodine for a while, I would end up with breast pain and tenderness. So my friend said "are you taking your iodine"...and I was off it for a while...So I never miss a daily dose.
A friend has very low body temp and Dr. Williams says 4 drops for a couple weeks can bring that temp up..it has for her.
I "played" around with kelp at a point but then got involved with an Iodine group and went to the iodine/iodide which is Iosol combo. I deal with HypoT, take NDT since 2002 and selenium daily as well, had Hashimoto at one time but don't know if I do now or not. I know some people taking higher doses for cancer treatments. 1 drop of Iosol is 1.83mg.

Hope this helps.
And I can't second this enough.
