That is one other problem buying Sea Vegg. There is no one to coach you or explain how to proceed. Also, it is one full dose with Sea Vegg and nothing in between. It is a one answer fits all! Sea Vegg presents its nutrition product very little differently from a medicine. They tell you just to take these capsules and trust me.
Actually, from the reports from vitaqueen and Tam W, I am coming to the conclusion that there is at least some potency to Sea Vegg to cause any kind of symptom at all. That is more than I expected of it. I still contend that it cannot hold a candle to the much more readily absorbable and dose-adjustable and colloidally dispersed liquid supplement that constitutes Original Limu through its proprietary extraction process.
What Tam W. and vitaqueen are experiencing most likely is like the appearance of little whitehead pimples on the crown of my head when I doubled the recommended dosage of Original Limu. The fact that it did generate the pimples was encouraging to me in that I have been involved with enough nutritional products like Barley Green to know that the body goes through an adjustment process with the introduction of a substantially different food source. This process is known as a detoxification phenomenon arising from the body's chemical machinery getting out of sync, out of balance, or out of homeostasis (equilibrium). Some parts of the body's chemical machinery start working in a superior fashion while other parts of the machinery down the chain of chemical processes are not yet ready for the increased output of the earlier chemical processes. The body gets out of balance. Another explanation of the detox effect is that there was insufficient chemical machinery to purge the body of the toxins that had developed in it and now, given the nutrients needed for the purging process, the body starts sloughing off toxins in a big way and thus a person experiences a detox effect.
The effects one experiences in about 20-50% of the people taking Original Limu can be mild headaches, mild flu-like symptoms, outbreaks of the skin, diarrhea, constipation, and possibly others. The reassuring aspect of detox is that one knows then that there is some potency to the supplement and it isn't just sugar water. The other reassuring aspect of detox is that it is only a temporary phenomenon. My detox lasted, however, much, much longer than the usual detox effects of only a few days to a week. Mine of the little whiteheads lingered for several months, but I could live with it because of the unbelievable benefits of the elimination of the pain in my right arm, the congestion of my sinuses, and the flakiness of my skin along with the huge boost in my immune system.
With Sea Vegg, you buy the product and are left to yourself. Also, the product is simply powdered dried seaweed. Again, Original Limu has colloidally dispersed minerals and trace metals and is much more readily absorbable into the blood system due to the 15 years of research and development that went into its extraction process. Also, Original Limu is sold through a network of people who can coach you and train you and answer your questions as they arise. You are not left wondering why you seem to be going backwards instead of forwards as vitaqueen and Tam W. have experienced. And, finally, you can modify your dosage easily with a liquid supplement but not with capsules.
Look, check with friends you know who come from Asian and South Pacific countries. I visited a physician last month and the doctor / nurse partnership, having come from the Philippines said that there was no explaining I needed to do. They ate limu moui seaweed all their lives as they were growing up and suggest that all the sickness they see in the USA could be greatly relieved and eliminated if people here would eat seaweed as well. The Korean couple running a restaurant serving seaweed soup makes the same claim.
There is no question of the value of seaweed especially of the fucoidan in it and the whole spectrum of minerals and trace metals in it. You do want to get the most for you money, however. Original Limu is the best as noted above and it comes with a network of people ready to help you get the most out of it. The next best option is to purchase your own fresh seaweed and go to the time and trouble to prepare it. The biggest downside of getting your own fresh seaweed is that you do not know its source. If it comes from polluted waters off the shores of industrialized countries especially, it could be more harmful than good. Just like the fish from certain regions of the world, seaweed can harbor dangerous levels of heavy metals lie mercury as a result of pollution of the waters. In fact, that is a concern regarding Sea Vegg. It is not harvested, as is the case with Original Limu, from the pristine pure waters off the Tongan Islands in the South Pacific where there are no sources of pollution like heavy industry or large-scale agriculture. In fact, if Sea Vegg happens to be harvested from seriously polluted waters, that could be another explanation for the symptoms experienced by vitaqueen and Tam W., but I have got to believe that Sea Vegg has got to have taken better care in its program than that, hopefully.
The problem with Americans is that they have so bought into the pill-pushing culture that they do not understand supplements. They look for a pill or capsule to work instantly. They look for the quick fix in spite of years of abuse we have heaped upon our bodies with the devastating Western lifestyle and diet. What is needed for a supplement to prove its value is, at the very least, 90 days. Time is needed to work one through the detox period and then after that to discover the proper dosage for seeing the extraordinary and often unexpected health benefits that can arise from the introduction of the nutrients long missing in the Western diet.
