I was inspired to do some research on Algin after I discovered that iodine has been used for heavy metal chelation. Iodine is in seaweed and Algin is seaweed, SO doesn't that make Algin a chelator of some sort? I realized this after doing an experiment - I realized that some times I wake up feeling okay and then after taking my morning supplements I get a headache and start to go downhill so I started taking each supplement individually to see what was causing it and low and behold it was the Algin. I stopped it for 2 days and no headaches! I think it may be that I was taking too much at this time and it was pulling the mercury out with it. So I looked it up and found this similar product with seaweed that they have marketed for heavy metal chelation:

Interesting? I think I will try to reduce my ALgin and see how that goes.

Yeah it causes a headache in me as well at times and makes me very tired after I take it. Definitely a detox of some sort, probably of the intestine from floating Mercury. I don't know if it is a chelator, but it does detox for sure.

Detox is good!!!! It's not a chelator... I guess we all have to judge what works for us, though. You gotta drink a lot of water with it.

So iodine chelates? I get a headache from iodine and go downhill from there. I like taking iodine as it balances my hormones and give me the best dreams. I take the lugols stuff but I am back to only 2 drops.
