Seaweed
Seaweed is amazing, it is the perfect food, medicine, mineral, vitamin packed vegetable and fruit. Seaweed is an algae. Seaweed is a super food and an adaptogen, meaning it is packed with goodness, and helps the body to work at its best.
Believe it or not, trees and forests exist beneath the sea, seaweed algae forests. There are many kinds of sea vegetables, seaweeds, algae, but organic non toxic is the only one best and safest. There are three kinds of seaweed, brown, red and green. Kelp is brown seaweed and one of the most nutritious. It is called kombu, when kombu kelp seaweed is used in broths, soups and heated dishes, it is more nutritious. This goes for other seaweeds too.
Brown kelp, kombu, has the most phytonutients of all the seaweeds. Kombu is the best sea vegetable aiding in weight management because when consumed, it gives you the feeling of being happy and full. Kombu is the most utilized, most consumed and when eaten with organic grains and beans, most completely nutritious.
Kelp, kombu, has Fucoxanthin, a component that aids the body to metabolize fats. There are other seaweeds, all beneficial, including nori, the sea algae vegetable seen and used to wrap sushi. Dulce does too.
Seaweeds are so wonderful because they contain most of the nutrients and electrolytes found in our blood. Kombu, brown kelp is again one of the best in the area too.
Kombu for example, and many of the other seaweeds have calcium and iron. Seaweed helps with many body mechanisms and functions. It naturally wants to step in and balance systems that are off balance.
The pineal gland is vital for our health, and is damaged in most people because of toxins and toxic exposure, especially from fluoride and or chloride added to drinking water.
To make a long story short, more on this can be found in my other books and videos, but to sum it up people are in Apocalyptic Times for decades from manmade technologies that far excel that of UFO technologies.
Seaweeds are vital for life and health.

Types of sea vegetables:

Nori is known as laver, Porphyra teneraor and also known as yezoensis. Sheets of nori are wrapped around sushi, and used in soups. They can also be wound wraps to help protect injuries and help heal the wound. Raw nori is best, but is excellent when heated in soups and broths as it unlocks healing properties.
Dulse is another kind of sea vegetable called Palmaria palmate. Red seaweed.
This sea vegetable is found off the coast of Ireland and Scotland in cold waters.
Irish moss Chandrus crisps makes a thickening agent and gelling agent, carrageenan. Very nutritious and healing. Gelatinous and does not come from animals.

Fucoxanthin, metabolism booster helps burn fat
Insulin resistance. Fucoxanthin stimulates the fat burning protein into activation, called thermogenin. Wakame is identifiable because of the thick vertical band in the center of it’s wide leaves.
Sea algae seaweed called Arame Eisenia bicycles and Hijiki Hizikia fusiformis, grow along the Asian coast of China, Japan and Korea. Excellent in:

While most drugs are loaded with toxins, approved by the FDA, they have a helpful, and often life saving qualities. The side effects of most drugs are dangerous to other parts of the body and system, in most cases, with adverse side effects including death. Wellness comes with time and patience. As people get better health naturally, their doctors will hopefully be able to reduce or eliminate many or most or even all of the medicines that had been prescribed, that is an ideal outcome. Profit at the hands of peoples lives is not what medicine should be about, but it tends to be about that a lot of the time. Get well, feel better, as good as you can, every day.
I write a lot of books, make a lot of writing and artistic journals, and create videos to help people find their joy, their happiness, by exploring the world, nature, around them. I am a teacher of all levels globally. I want people to have large versatile selections of reading material, journals to be creative in, and watch videos with informative messages, poems, songs, and classes. I hope that in time every senior living and hospice center can benefit from my material, especially journals and videos with only quality content and as commercial free as possible. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to bring entire stories, story clips, and fairy tales, health and lifestyle, beauty and home, national park and general information to you. Classical music to fine art and photography, especially of national parks is incredible, of which I offer the world.
I write here today, as an act of faith and love of God, to help other people feel better, be their best, be able to be productive happy people, and even if it is just a bit of feeling better, that is better than not feeling a bit better.
My story goes back some time. A process, a long time, almost twenty years, dedicating my life to God, giving him thanks for all his love, his kindness, his warmth and goodness. My work is just giving back a tiny bit of what God gives me. Since it is likely to take many years for most of my works to reach a large population of people, I have put the transmission and distribution of my material into the discretion of God himself. God has a way of getting things to people in the time it is needed, he has many angels and archangels to assist him in this work. That is how I believe, the power of God and the blessings of miracles. Soli Deo Gloria

There are many kinds of additional seaweeds, and they are all important. The essential thing I wanted to convey in this book, is that seaweed, is a superfood, and has so many things that are good for you. The realization is that sea algae is a whole food in many respects, a whole food packed with everything in it. One could almost live solely on it, but it is good to add variety, and not miss out on the complete package our bodies need, have seaweed with organic beans and organic rice, fruits and vegetables. It’s just nice to realize that such a.food exists in the world. Regardless of what people say, it is important to care for our world, protect it as best we can, and keep it as pure as possible.
The indiscriminate use of nuclear power plant production on the rise, it’s additional counter productive waste and byproducts used in and on everything, is something that future generations must consider, and try to eliminate. People can’t fathom what is happening in our world today.
That is why seaweed is so vital and critical all at once.
Laurel Sobol lives in western America with her husband, three children, two dogs, one cat, and one fish. God bless you.
