Your Thyroid and Kelp: Podcast #15

This podcast starts with something all men love to do: complain about women. However, Martin and Scott use this only as a starting off point to observe how hormonal imbalances due can do a great deal to harm our quality of life. Whether it manifests itself as road rage or menstrual pain chances are it is the same thing.

The most important controller of hormones in the body is unquestionably the thyroid gland. Martin informs us that though the gland is supported by magnesium, it is really iodine which is the primary controlling element. In fact, most people are magnesium deficient without even realizing it. The thyroid uses up a great deal of iodine and will even go as far as to steal it from our organs if it needs to.

All it takes is a couple of milligrams of iodine a day to cure deficiency. These few milligrams can make all the difference too. If we are deficient over a long period of time, the thyroid will continue to take iodine from other organs and tissues. For example: the breast tissue in women. Certain studies have suggested that this could lead to breast cancer later in life.

At the Life Enthusiast Co-op, we offer a good number of Super Nutrients which can be very beneficial in combating this. I also always recommend kelp to my customers, which is found in every Superfood product we offer. However, you deal with it, it is an important factor to be aware of. I can’t tell you how people I talk to who tell me they simply haven’t been feeling right, and more often than not this is a big factor.

Liquid Barley: Podcast Episode #19

Biodynamic farming is a new farming method is trying to counteract the lack of enzymes and minerals in the average person’s diet. This is a great farming method because not only do you not poison your field with toxic herbicide and pesticide, but you also resupply the soil with the minerals you used up. That’s what being biodynamic is all about. You can actually use a salt or some other paramagnetic rock dust that you will bring to the field and replenish the soil, along with using manure and all the other traditional methods that replenish the nutrients that the plants require.

Martin Pytela and his co-host Scott Paton touch upon this issue in this podcast below:

I have this friend who lives on the coast near Victoria, BC and she would go out to the sea and harvest kelp. She would get the basic seaweed and throw it in the back of her pickup truck. She would grow these phenomenal vegetables using the kelp as manure, thereby getting all the minerals of the sea into her vegetables.

This makes sense because health is strong in the sea. This is where they believe life originated, that we all came from the sea. It is the primary soup from which all life arose, the amniotic fluid of the planets, or the womb of the planet.

For readers who want the same results, but don’t live near an ocean or have a pickup truck, the Life Enthusiasts liquefied barley is as good a substitute as there is.

You can go to the Life Enthusiast Co-op website to read about this product, under the brand MMP solutions, which stands for Miracle Mineral Power. MMP solutions make several things such as green ionic minerals and also the liquefied barley. They are selling so fast that they have told us that they will only ship six packs. They will not even ship individual bottles and it can only be shipped directly to consumer. We would stock it at the Life Enthusiast Co-op, but it needs to be stocked and refrigerated only for a few days, so it’s actually being shipped directly and they ship it in freezer packs. It arrives still cold and the only way you can get it is if you buy the six packs. It’s available in either six portions of four ounces or six of eight ounces.

This product is easy to take and it doesn’t taste nearly as bad as the cod-liver oil my mom used to give me when I was a kid.
