It would be great to have naturally containing supplements, but because of so much contamination now, it's left people in a bit of a catch 22 situation. Though they're tested for toxins, what level of toxins can people like us handle?

So it's a concern. I know how you feel, it's so frustrating. Sometimes I don't know what to do.
Alfalfa seems a great source of minerals as well, tha and Spirulina, might pick some good brands up on that and take them. I am scared of the Kelp too, I stopped it just for that reason and that alone, that and I felt crazy after a few days on it. Did it make me worse or was that just detox? Catch 22 like you said, I have no clue if it made me worse or it was working well. I know I felt really great one night after the Dulse dosage, energy through the roof but that never lasts as you know frown I want a natural source of minerals, Kelp was one of the best, but at what cost? It says the one I take is tested and below 3ppm for Arsenic and other things, www.seaveg.com is where the brand is at. I guess we need to just find something which can really help boost our iodine safetly, maybe I will try Lugols. I don't want to throw myself off balance worse though, thats the last of what I need right now.

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.
