Re: Good source for seaweed?
 

Laurel, thanks for sharing your experience. I am getting my first weeks' worth of organic veggies from the CSA I joined this week - can't wait! I am hoping to incorporate the seaweed into some salads, because most of the veggies are salad greens.

Rich, as I understand it, iodine makes tissue less rigid (i.e., breast and the linnings of the blood vessels). It is the effect on the blood vessels that results in lowered BP, and the effect on breast density that makes it good for bc prevention. I agree with Laurel, docs poo-poo nutrition as therapy too often. It is as AlaskaAngel says, we need endos involved in our care. I believe an endo would be more sensitive to the hormonal effects of food on the body (hormones, just not necessarily sex hormones, also regulate BP).

Hopeful

Fair point, Rich. Did you read the one about Plum & Peach extract? Oh dear, big pharma can't make any $ on that, can they? Oh dear, better ban all supplements & vitamins (can you say, John McCann?).

Ha! The pitted fruit extract news reminded me of ...Laetrille.
