^ Russ got better using Algin and it helped with the effects of Mercury as well, I guess thats enough. If you use Chlorealla like Russ did to detox then you might need Algin as well James! It catches what passes through and then takes it out correct? No reabsorbtion? Thats what it appears. I don't use Just Algin either, I use Kombu which is the Kelp plant, it has nutrients within itselt and is not even 50% alginates, so therefore it's not just called Algin and has more health benefits. I know Algin can take away some nutrients and so on when they pass through, that always concerned me and I didn't use it often because of that. I have to look into ALA more to see about it, but as far as the Kelp goes it helps me out and I feel better regardless of what is making me feel better (The organic Iodine or minerals in it possibly?). Thanks for you post though, you seem to know a whole lot and do your research.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
