Thalassotherapy is defined as the layering of ocean components onto the body; utilizing whole seaweeds, seasalt & ocean water over the body; allowing the absorption of important vitamins and minerals in a bio-available chelated form, for the purpose of achieving mind, body balancing.Rod Mulhollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01155222681607585727noreply@blogger.comBlogger35125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802248047146672018.post-16630830137251948112016-07-12T12:38:00.001-07:002016-07-12T12:38:21.374-07:00

Kelp has been used for thousands of years to aid in balancing hormones in the body. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates would encourage regular activities in or at the oceanside, he would say, ‘nature itself is the best physician’. In Canada we have many varieties of kelp growing in our cold clean Canadian waters this time of year. We have access to some of the best kelp and other seaweeds

Since the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the late 1980's, Lugols Solution has been known and distributed in Poland by health officials to protect the population from radiation exposure. In Poland, the use of Lugols Solution is now very much common knowledge by Poles in the use and protection from radioactive iodine, which is commonly found in the atmosphere following such nuclear accidents.

Lugols Solution was created in 1823 by French physician, J.G. Lugol and given to the open market in 1829. It was developed shortly after the discovery of iodine in 1811 by Barnard Courtois, Napolean’s gunpowder manufacturer. For hundreds of years, practicing physicians prescribed Lugols Solution or potassium-iodide(SSKI) to treat a myriad of disease including: bacterial & viral infection, nerve

A new large population study just released this week in the UK Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health showed that fluoride exposure contributes to hypothyroidism in England's population. The study found that locations that had higher in fluoride content in the drinking water were about 30% more likely to develop hypothyroidism as compared with areas with low levels of the halogen. About 10%

Conventional cancer therapy, as utilized by our doctors in Canada & the US can take many forms. Two of modern medicine's current 'go to' therapies for treating cancer are high energy 'radiation therapy' known as Radiotherapy & a cocktail of chemicals in pill & liquid form, referred to as Chemotherapy. What's widely known by most cancer patients is that these forms of 'conventional cancer

Symptoms of iodine deficiency are often similar to those with Hashi's, Grave's, Fibromyalgia, CFS & other auto-immune disorders. This is because iodine deficiency plays a large part in those conditions & symptoms too. As Dr. Brownstein mentions in his book, 'Iodine, why you need it, why you can't live without it', 95% of the 4000 patients he tested, were deficient in this essential mineral,

I think that if women knew that using whole, raw brown kelp, that is grown indigenously in Canada & the US as a food, in a bath or in a bodywrap spa therapy, would provide them with enough bio-available vitamins, minerals, enzymes, essential amino acids, polysaccharide sugars, protein, fibre that would; strengthen their immune system, prevent & help to treat breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian

Our bodies store about 20% of our total iodine supply in our skin. This became most apparent to me last summer while I was enjoying some warming summer rays of sun by the pool for a couple of hours without sunscreen. I wondered why for so many years I had burned & now I wasn't, even after more than 2 hours of exposure. The sun hadn't changed, it was still as hot as ever, so it must have been

I always find it very interesting to share 'new' health information with people who can really benefit from the therapy, if they choose to take it. It's very rewarding, from my perspective, to see the lights go on as the dots get connected, much the same way it happens for myself. And still does as I 'realize' the positive effects of thalassotherapy & iodine have on the body & connect that in

If you consider your healthy immune system to be a large cushion that protects you from discomfort & disease around your body. With a big cushion, ie strong immune system, conditions that we experience in life such as, stress or bacterial or viral infections will bounce off us if our cushion is big enough. A weakened immune system, with a small cushion, which catches everything that goes by, is

Eighty-three (83) elements in the periodic table that are biologically absorbable & contained in the body, are found in sea water.  Over sixty (60) of these, including many important trace minerals are concentrated in seaweed, specifically in the brown kelps.  These trace elements are minerals which our body cannot produce for itself, but are to be absorbed through our food daily, to help with

This is a delicious way to enjoy the healing benefits of eating seaweed. Japan & Korea have the lowest rates of reproductive organ cancers in the world, due to their high intake of brown kelps. This soup is served traditionally to new mothers in Korea, made by the mother-in-law for the new mother. She then eats the soup with every meal 3X/day for 100 days, to replenish the nutrients lost

A strong and complete immune system includes the essential mineral iodine. Iodine is a fat soluble mineral and not very water soluble, the water soluble version of iodine is commonly found in potassium-iodide. Since vitamin C is water soluble many people regularly consume portions in the 2000mg – 6000mg range regularly to combat colds, flu's, infections etc.. Since iodine is fat soluble it's

Women in Korea are taught at a very young age their biological connection to the ocean - that the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby in mommy's tummy is the same as ocean water.  So during their pregnancy they put seaweed across their bellies to absorb the nutrients that are so important for fetal development.  As the fetal brain requires twice as much iodine for proper brain development as

Pasteurized milk is not a good source of calcium to be absorbed by our bodies. When milk is pasteurized, it goes through a high heating process that kills both good & bad bacteria, healing enzymes, vitamins, good fats & proteins. Pasteurization destroys the natural Vitamin C that is found in raw milk and also converts it's sugar, lactose into beta-lactose, which is readily & easily absorbed

Most people today understand to stay away from processed salt, table salt & processed foods that are high in processed sodium, this is good. The message that needs to be understood more clearly is that unrefined or unprocessed sea salt is good for us and we need it. There is a clear distinction between unprocessed salt and processed salt and hence a direct difference in their health benefits.
