she took kelp tablets, each provising 225 mcg of iodine.

I think it is probably best to avoid kelp if you have another source of iodine supplements you can take. Those who don't, would probably be okay taking one kelp tablet a day for a month or two.
She probably got a cheap untested brand though, the one I am looking at or have used is from www.seaveg.com they are tested and some of the best you can find, so I have read and tried. Dulse from them was great IMO, why can't I use something everyday from something like that when we eat bad things everyday or breathe or drink it? This is alot healthier than somes diets IMO or water, but only for a few months? I agree and disagree tehre, if you get the right kind which is low in metals anhd high in minerals then the minerals should offset that and actually negate the harm from little metals. I want to get a good brand, perhaps that seaveg is the best to use and is very safe and healthy? Who knows, but isolated iodine is not what I wnat to do, anything inorganic and Isolated is not for me as it causes further imbalances over time too. So many questions, every one has an opinion and too little answers. I guess we have to see and do for ourselves. I still think a low level of metals and high minerals would be very good! I am still trying to find one that works JK.

Whats funny is that they keep using this one lady and I heard it and you heard it over and over for proof, but didn't they do that with tryptophan too and even the BLUE guy as well from a dude who took too much for too long and turned blue (Colloidal home made). They rarely mention the brand and how much they took and so on, but these appear to be isolated incidences and they use them over and over to scare you away from things that are actually good for you if taken right and the right supplement?

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.
