About Algin

I use algin and have wonderful results from it. I am very careful about listening to information on the internet against alternative supplements because there are very active disinformation campaigns against supplements that cause the loss of pharmaceutical dollars. Quackwatch is a good example. I have personally found lies/deceptions on the quackwatch website and even wrote a short article about it:

About Mercury Testing

After going through all of the difficulty of renting the equipment and paying out hundreds of dollars of employee salaries for help for a week (not cheap), we found out that the instrument we rented measures only elemental mercury. The main mercury component of coal-burning power plants (the kind that Jamestown has) is organic mercury, so our measurements are useless. Methylmercury measurements are too time-consuming and expensive for us to conduct without substantial financial help.

We did get very high measurements from:

tuna (very high)
tuna-based cat foods (pretty high)
broken fluorescent light bulbs (very high)
broken CFL lights (extremely high, in most cases, too high to measure with our meter... > 999 ug m3)

If cats are fed tuna-based cat food, their litter box also had fairly high mercury readings.

If you open a can of tuna in kitchen, within a minute, the kitchen had mercury levels that are considered hazardous in the workplace by some organizations.

We tested the following items and found that they do not emit elemental mercury:

CRT monitors
Fluorescent lights
Cotton T-Shirts
Denim jeans
Cardboard boxes

We also tested cigarette smoke and detected fairly high amounts of elemental mercury.

We found that our indoor elemental mercury measurements taken from several houses indicated mercury vapor highest in carpeted rooms. Hardwood floors almost never had mercury vapor above them.

We will be posting a video eventually.
