Didn't know where to post this either. I may not be very bright...

edit- So I'm guessing the options to modify/remove disappear after the post is a certain age?

I used to have a vitamin c shower filter, is this the best way to avoid breathing in chlorine?

My healthfood store only has kelp in preparations like powder and liquid but said Whole Foods probably carry it. I'm wary of buying kelp from a supermarket because of how it may have been processed but are there good options?

I'm planning on taking Lugol's 5% solution for a while and then eat kelp for the long term to get sufficient iodine. There seems to be controversy on the safety of taking iodine preparations because of something that happens during conversion. Mercola recommends against it but others say it's worth it. It's toxic yet it eliminates toxins.

For those who haven't heard of this, they take blood and expose it to certain foods and observe how many anti-bodies are made.

The theory is that when large numbers of anti-bodies are produced in response to certain foods, those foods are being recognized as foreign and are provoking an immune response that may be contributing to illness.

The test recommends I avoid cow's milk, casein (milk protein, in lots of processed food), cottage cheese, American cheese, beef, and brewer's yeast.

There's some controversy around whether producing lots of anti-bodies to food is harmful or not,  but my results seem to reflect my reactions to food. After drinking cow's milk I always have a stuffed up nose the next day and feel groggy. When I drank raw goat's milk this never happened. Now I wonder if casein could be contributing to the brain fog and forgetfulness I've had all my life. There's evidence for a connection between casein intolerance, ADHD, and feeling spaced out regularly. Going dairy-free seems like it would be a good experiment for me, it would be hard though. I've been really enjoying butter lately

The food given to the flies were extracts of bananas, potatoes, raisins, and soy beans.

"On certain food sources, greater activity and greater stress resistance was additionally observed".

I take this as more evidence that food has properties we don't understand or haven't yet observed.

Money is tight at the moment and I'm not able to buy most of the foods I'd like to, but for a while now I've been eating wild red snapper raw from the supermarket. This particular store is a small chain and I know they're especially conscious of cleanliness from friends who have worked there in the past. I'm second-guessing the risk I'm taking because I don't really know anything about the shipping/handling practices of supermarket fish or how many people are eating it raw in this area. I don't want to freeze it before eating because I don't like it once it's defrosted. Thanks for reading 

I feel like losing a bit of blood once in a while could be beneficial overall. You receive new cells, get rid of buildup and toxins at the expense of having to synthesize new blood, and losing whatever beneficial contents it had that the body can't replace itself. I originally first gave blood to find out what my blood type was because I was curious about Dr Lam's Blood Type Diet. What do the people here think of only filtering and recycling the blood cells via the internal organs? Is it critical or unimportant to lose some bad blood once in a while?
