Health, wellness and ageing.
Use of kelp for detoxification and environmental protection.
We all do age, but the deterioration
associated with ageing can be controlled, at least, that is the way many
specialist think. It is speeded up by toxicity and our bodies' response to it.
Toxins play an important part in ageing. A toxin is defined as any compound
that has a detrimental effect on cell function, cellular growth, tissue
regeneration or structure. The more toxins you ingest, the faster you age. We
all know that our Modern environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the
air we breathe and the water we drink is polluted with chemicals most of them
foreign to our body. In our modern world managed to produce more than 2.000.000
synthetic substances.
 Never before,
not in any known civilisation and recorded history, have we exposed ourselves
so consistently to biological, chemical, heavy metal, electrical, emotional,
psychological, and stressors. In addition, the nutritional quality of our food
produced has significantly diminished in over the past 40 years. The
synergistic effect of stress, toxicity, and nutritional depletion can be
devastating. Long term effects under estimated.
Advice: until we change the environmental laws,
remove the carcinogens and other toxins from our food, water, and air that
needlessly increase healthcare costs, cripple our nation's productivity, and
devastate American lives the best solution is detoxification. Detoxification
needed to maintain life and health. Problem is that in any
known profit-driven economy, health considerations are hardly a priority other
than lip-service. Because of the fact that all these 100% man-made products represent gigantic financial interests and
a way to get rich, accumulate wealth, the political system very slow to act.
Different
diets lead to different diseases and have effects on vitality and ageing. The understanding how dietary habits of
different groups of people related to their degree of health? There is a big
difference for example between uptake of iodine in the countries that do use a
lot of seaweed like Japan and other who do not.
Both
clinical research and epidemiological studies, which compare the rates of
diseases in populations with different dietary habits, point to Japan’s low rate of
hart failure, obesity, breast cancer and healthy ageing More people here in the West are reaching a biblical age but mostly in a
state of “ multi-morbidity”. The facts in Japan proving that lifestyle and dietary choices can make an enormous
difference to your lifespan and to your quality of life in later years. Japan
is an industrialized nation like we are.
Detoxification/Alginic acid/ iodine.
There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and
environmental pollutants than brown seaweeds, algae and ... sea vegetables.
That Seaweed contains compounds which bind with and remove toxins from the
tissues of animals and humans.. Many using seaweed for this purpose already to
compensate for using polluted food, compensate for air, water, land and
products. Brown seaweed’s such as kelp, rockweed contain this alginic acid which
can binds with the toxins rendering them indigestible and carries them out of
the system. Alginate is non-toxic and is not reabsorbed into the rest of the
body from the gastrointestinal tract. Alginate is specific and consistent in
its reaction, is resistant to stomach acidity and the enzymes present in the
intestinal tract ... it has also been shown to have no adverse effect on the
ability of humans to assimilate calcium and other natural minerals.
The other is iodine.
Iodine
is anti-microbial, anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti fungal , anti-cancer, and it
enhances immune function, important for hormone production, reverses
fibrocystic breast disease, and shrinks ovarian and thyroid cysts.
Can
removes toxic chemicals, flush out chemical toxins like fluoride, lead, mercury
etc., apart from biological toxins. It also prevents the proliferation of
harmful bacteria in the stomach.
Iodine
removes the toxic halogens fluoride and bromide, Iodism, an unpleasant brassy
taste, runny nose, and acne-like skin.Lesions,
is caused by the bromide that iodine extracts from the tissues.Symptoms
subside on a lesser doses of iodine.
-------
Consuming
high iodine doses should, of course be coupled with acomplete
nutritional program that includes adequate amounts of selenium, Magnesium,
and Omega-3 fatty acids. However all are abundantly present in seaweed and
explain why the Japanese can consume such large quantities.
Consumption
in Japan between 0.05-0.1 gram/day and in the USA 0.00024 gram/day.
(RDI is
0.00015 gram/day).
Breast
cancer in the U.S. is the highest in the world, 1 in 7 American women (almost
15 percent) will develop breast cancer. Six million American women with
fibrocystic disease have moderate to severe breast pain and tenderness that
lasts more than 6 days during the menstrual cycle. Today, 90 percent of women
have epithelial hyperplasia, fluid-filled cysts, and fibrosis. For more information and expert opinion please search the web. Type "iodine for health" in the search bar of Yahoo, bling or google.
Iodine is a relatively rare element in the Earth's crust, but is
concentrate in the oceans. It is the heaviest essential element known to be
needed by all living organisms, but its rarity in many soils has led to many
deficiency problems in land animals and in human populations.
Important because ease of attachment to organic compounds, gentle because
it is a very heavy element (slow) having the right power/properties as
commonly needed by living organisms. The transport of iodine and its
organification (synthesis of organic compounds) can be blocked by Br-
ions, chlorine and fluor due to a mutual competition between bromide, other
halo ides and the iodide anions. Therefore, bromine seen as having a zombifying
potential. ( Retarding of the body/functions).
The removal of bromide from tissue
and organs will only take place when there is a access of iodine and the right
pH. Mineral assimilation is affected by pH, minerals have different pH levels at which they can be assimilated into the body.
Minerals on the lower end of the atomic scale can be assimilated in a wider pH
range, and minerals higher up on the scale require a narrower pH range in order
to be assimilated.. Iodine, which is high up on the atomic scale, requires near
perfect pH for its assimilation into the body.
Iodine
insufficiency problems are aggravated by our use of agents that interfere with
the utilization of iodine, these include the halogens (class of chemicals to
which iodine belongs) fluoride, bromine and bromides, and chlorine. In 1980,
bread makers started using bromide as a conditioner instead, which competes
with iodine for absorption into the thyroid gland and other tissues in the
body. Bromine replaced iodine because of the concern that iodine might be
toxic. In fact, it is the bromine that is toxic and which can also interfere
with iodine utilization.
Iodine
is essential for the body of humans and other animals and is detected in every
organ and tissue. It is found in high levels in the thyroid, breast,
liver, lung, heart, and adrenals. Iodine is essential in pregnancy.
Fluoride,
added to 50% of the U.S. water supplies, is also present in most toothpastes,
it is used in fluoride dental treatments for children. It is also present in
many processed foods and beverages. Now associated with zombifying or
multi-morbidity. It is all about vitality and health,
aging plagued by a multitude of illnesses, dependent on medication, in need
of care, for years and years on end, the typical risks of painful aging and a
premature, painful death.
Bromine is also used to clean hot tubs and is
present in many medications, deinfectants, plastics. Chlorine, used to treat
swimming pools and present in many of the public drinking water supplies, also
interferes with iodine levels in the body. Sangster, et
al : reported a decreased ability to concentrate and sleepiness in normal
male subjects ingesting 4 mg sodium bromide/kg bw/day.
Your lifestyle and dietary
choices can make an enormous difference to your lifespan and to the quality of life in later years.
