Hi Jaden, did you notice we are both from Tampa? Nice to meet you. Thanks a bunch for the links. They will be a big help for this question as well as in the future. Are you familiar with iherb? Their site has alot of information about herbs and supplements, as well as pretty good brands and pricing. I use Kyogreen daily, which contains kelp.

Nat, the whole CKD thing looks overwhelming to me. I understand the premise and I think it would be good for me to try but I hesitate because my last foray into the world of carbohydrates with Body For Life reversed some of my learned resistence to that (evil ) class of foods. It is great to read that it is working for you. Mind you, CKD has not been ruled out, but perhaps when I am closer to goal.
