Chorella ???

[MysticTree]

I saw some at the weekend in the health food shop.

So what am I supposed to be feeling after taking 6 of these a day? I don't feel as though I am feeling any different. I had been feeling quite emotional recently but that hasn't changed; I still do. I thought my mood would alter but it hasn't yet. Still early days I know and I will finish the bottle I guess but so far I'm not wildly impressed.

Are you taking highly absorbable chlorella or the usual stuff which is only half digestable?

For all people the inside changes to the bodies functioning are remarkable. For people in good health the noticeable changes should be increased energy with a good brand and much less sickness (colds). For people with sickness the changes are much more noticeable. But rest assured, the changes happening inside will be incredible + slowing down the aging process (highest anti agimng factor of any food on earth) and keeping the immune system much stronger. But even more important is that it is cleaning many of the toxins out of your body much much faster and more than your body would have ever done in it's lifetime: the toxins thrown off in the urine have been known to increase seven fold...scientists at Chenobyl had never seen such a potent body cleanser of nuclear waste ever. + you are getting great anti oxidant effects + many of the great effects of rare trace minerals that you wouldn't be getting from any land foods. BUT...the most important thing ever about chlorella is that it does something soooooo amazing that scientists once thought it was impossible...it changes your genetic blueprint! We are all born with genetic weakness and are prone to various disease because our DNA is faulty, but chlorella and AFA blue green algae are the only sources of food ever proven to actually repair DNA damage and reprogram it so future disease and problems start to get corrected.

Mystic tree: don't under estimate this amazing golden jewel. Big changes and long term benefits will be experienced by yourself from the inside. There is so much positive research on chlorella, it is arguably the best thing anyone can do in this day and age due to it's protection from pollution and it's ability to feed the body with abundant life giving nutrition and it's ability to reprogram and improve a person's genetics/DNA (it makes a person more perfect).

* detox
* anti aging
* rare earth nutrition that plant foods don't have
* anti oxidants
* high quality protein and sunlight food
* DNA repair and reprogramming.

Chlorella is simply the best thing you can be consuming. lt is better than your best dreams ever. Nothing touches this. Write this post out everyday ten times and read it 100 times a day. Keep it on the back of the toilet door and sleep with it under your pillow everynight and recite it at every spare moment. You are very very lucky Mystic Tree, you have discovered something so amazing and unbelieavably awesome that it is impossible to tell you how awesome this major event is.

Wheatgrass has suptle effects on me, but that doesn't mean it's not important.

Now food like wheatgrass and sprouts don't get me excited, but chlorella gets me so excited that l sometimes can't sleep at night. And thanks to reminding myself of why chlorella is so good [in this post], l am not going to sleep tonight because l will on a high thinking about how great chlorella is and how your body is going to be screaming with joy from the inside. Chlorella is the most exciting food ever! Chlorella is so good that it has the ability to put tears in my eyes when l tell people about it because l am so excited about it. l have tears in my eyes right now...tears of pure joy and excitement.

l have sold a lot of chlorella for companies over the years (put many people on it with no benefit to me) and even had various companies repackage their algae to specific standards. lt has been the thing that i've been very passionate about for over 15 years.

[MysticTree]

I don't want to not be able to sleep. I am not getting that at the moment thank goodness.

As to quality I don't know. It was the "better" of the two stocked in the shop but then I don't know if the person in the shop really knows. It's organic chorella tablets by PUKKA if that helps. http://www.pukkaherbs.com/chlorella.html

No, it is just a manner of speach. lt is a half joke.

Wet your hand and place a tablet in it. Does it almost melt away within 10 seconds?

l would be easy to write a 100,000 word essay (at least) on the benefits of chlorella.

well it is very off-putting. I don't like the high you get form drugs either natural or man made.

Forget the 10 seconds thing. l'll have to think of a better test. Anyway, i'd just buy the best stuff you can get unless you are prepared to buy from Hippocrates (1,500 tabs for $70 + need to pay postage and o/s charges).

[MysticTree]

can you not tell from the brand? I gave a link to it.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Some other significant things about chlorella you need to know

This is GREAT for vegans because it contains high amounts of certain vitamins and minerals that they usually find hard to get in good amounts, namely; vitamin A (beta carotone), zinc, iron. This can really make a difference to the diet (perk vegans up), and with the addition of trace minerals chlorella greatly improves a vegan diet.

Chlorella also improves blood sugar levels, and it makes it is easier to stick to a good raw food diet.

Chlorella is a very good source of omega 3 fatty acids. But not only a good source, but an immediately usable source that doesn't require any conversion. Even a better form of omega 3 than in chia, flax or walnut sprouts.

Wheatgrass has 96 out of 115 possible elements in the universe and AFA blue green algae has every single element ever discovered (all 115), and l suspect that chlorella probably has close to all the 115 elements as well (probably all 115).

Plus chlorella has good chlorophyl levels and a good unique fiber cell wall for cleansing that no other food has.

Vitamin A isn't difficult surely!

I haven't read up on this much just yet, but it would seem like, if the pills you buy are "live" you could start a culture from them and grow it in a fish tank.

[SunshineMN]

Hmm... I got my chlorella on Friday from Azure. I hadn't taken any yet but this post reminded me so I took one tablet just to test it out. It really has a pleasant smell and almost melted on my tongue. Doesn't taste that bad either. I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll do for me. :)

I noticed it says it has 100% of your daily B12 also. That's a great thing since that's one of the things I was concerned about.

I got the tablets because I thought they might taste yuck but I quite like the taste in fact though I am not sure what I would mix the powder into if I got powder instead of tabs.

[MysticTree]

They don't melt on the tongue by the way.

[SunshineMN]

I'd probably mix it in with my lemon water. I do rather like the taste too!

[walnutty]

I get really high quality raw, organic chlorella tablets and all I notice when taking them is that they make me very constipated...so I stopped taking them! Ü

[Frugal Raw]

Sadly, I could not tell from the link you provided how absorbable your chlorella is. Mine is from Nature's Way, and it states on the bottle that the cell walls have been cracked to ensure maximum nutrient availability & uptake in the digestive tract...this is what you want. I take it for heavy metal detox and also for iron supplementation. I can't keep regular iron down, and my daughter is severely allergic to cilantro, so we rarely have any in the house. I definitely felt different taking them - got the familiar metallic taste in my mouth, and had more energy. I am not currently taking them, as I have been doing only blended foods, and I get nauseated if I don't have solids with them. Hope this helps a little.
:)

[MysticTree]

It is cracked cell stuff. It says that on the label and package but, as you say, not on the website!

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Vitamin A isn't difficult surely!

lt's one of the things many vegans get deficient in. lt's surprising, but true.

[Living Food]

I haven't read up on this much just yet, but it would seem like, if the pills you buy are "live" you could start a culture from them and grow it in a fish tank.

No, chlorella has a completely undigestable cell wall, which needs to be broken before you can get any nutrients from it. That essentially "kills" it, although the enzymes probably remain intact, depending on the process. Virtually every company claims that their method of processing chlorella is the best, but most chlorella out there is actually very poor quality.


I get really high quality raw, organic chlorella tablets and all I notice when taking them is that they make me very constipated...so I stopped taking them!

Start slow, with only a couple tablets, and drink much more water then you usually do. Then you can work your way up to a normal dose and not have any problems like that.


Maybe a lot of it is in the mind then. I just don't feel any different but then I am rather a skeptic of the whole pill-popping thing so maybe that's why I don't see any change. They are not clogging me up though.

I find that people in good health have very few noticable changes at first, but it is still doing good things for you. Do you start feeling much better after having, say, a glass of juice? Probably not (unless you were hungry :) but it's still doing good things...you just don't really feel any different. After a long time taking chlorella you might feel you have some more energy, might have better immunity (although truly healthy people rarely if ever get sick), etc, but the difference will probably be subtle. The important thing is that it does have positive effects.

lt sounds like good stuff. Yes it smells good and is nice to eat (the only nice algae). E3 live and spirulina aren't near so nice.


I noticed it says it has 100% of your daily B12 also. That's a great thing since that's one of the things I was concerned about.
Be careful of that. Most algaes are mislabelled from the old days when everyone thought these B12 lookalikes were actually proper B12, and the companies haven't been pressured to change them. Those B12's are said to be mainly B12 lookalikes and will draw B12 from the body, that is one of the downfalls of chlorella. Make sure you take a bacterial form of B12 at a different time of the day from the chlorella. Chlorella can have some proper B12, but it can't be relied upon as a B12 supplement, neither can spirulina. And no, it's not possible to be getting 100% of B12 like on the label.

[MysticTree]

lt's one of the things many vegans get deficient in. lt's surprising, but true.

Why? It seems so unlikely.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

can you not tell from the brand? I gave a link to it.

lt's not enough imformation because testing it in person is the only real way to really tell. Many companies jump on the band wagon and claim their chlorella has a cracked cell wall, but most of it is `poppy cock'...it's company talk...nonsense talk that doesn't mean much. The only true cell wall cracking method is the special patented`dyno mill' method that allows for 82% digestability with minimal loss of nutrients, but most chlorella that is cracked is still highly unabsorbable, in fact, many chlorella companies product is only about 50% digestable. And yes, the `dyno mill' method really effective.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

I'd probably mix it in with my lemon water. I do rather like the taste too!

lf your drink has lemon in it then taking chlorella is a bad idea. Lemon interferres with chlorophyll. l would take it with a green drink or just before a meal or before bed or first thing in the morning, but never with lemon.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

I get really high quality raw, organic chlorella tablets and all I notice when taking them is that they make me very constipated...so I stopped taking them! Ü

That can happen too at the start for some people. Just drink more water.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

Why? It seems so unlikely.

There are possibly many reasons for vitamin A deficiency (some people can't convert beta carotene into vitamin A and other folks don't eat enough foods high in vitamin A and other people probably eat older food that has leached vitamin A), but testing many natural hygiene people at HHI showed that 50% were deficient in vitamin D and A. And various things on the internet also report vitamin A being a problem for many vegans also.

[MysticTree]

then it seems best to take none if the companies all lie.
I hate the pill selling fraternity. Natural and pharma alike they are rotten to the core.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

so true.


but most chlorella out there is actually very poor quality.

it is after the companies have finished with it. Companies use methods such as heat, chemicals, enzymes and ultra sound.

[MysticTree]

so true.


it is after the companies have finished with it. Companies use methods such as heat, chemicals, enzymes and ultra sound.
so there is little point. My previous scepticism is valid and I can go back to being a non-pill-popper.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

HHI sell the good one at the best price.

They are rotten to the core and one of the same. You should read the worldclass book `supplements exposed'. That will open your eyes to how bad the natural supplement companies really are, they utilise many loop holes to sell you dangerous rubbish.

exposing the truth on supplements
* For a vitamin to be called "natural", only 10% needs to be from plant dervied plant sources and the other 90% can be made from chemicals (synthetic).
* For something to be labelled "organic" a supplement must have one carbon atom and it can be called 100% organic depsite it being chemically made.
* 92% of `natural' supplements on the market are bad for your long term health (chemicals) and are made from petro chemicals
* 85% of supplements are owned by BIG pharma
* Almost all vitamins and minerals added to foods (including health foods) are all chemically made and also include petrochemicals, coal tar and terpentine.
* Nearly all synthetic vitamin D on the market uses coal tar and damnages the endrocrine system
* Most synthetic vitamin E uses terpentine
* All fish oils have been shown to contain lipid peroxide which has been proven to cause cancer. They also contain mercury.
* synthetic vitamin B1 uses coal tar
* A landmark Finland double blind study that tested how good synthetic vitamin A, C and E were (using over 250,000 people) showed that supplementing these anti oxidants caused more free radical damage instead of helping it and actually caused a 67% increase in illness across the test population.
* Linus Pauling's researcher secretly found out that supplementing synthetic vitamin C actually caused more cancer than it helped. A complete opposite result to what Linus always thought.


lt goes on and on.

[MysticTree]

I think it does depend on which country you are in and will vary but generally I avoid supplement and I shall go back to avoiding them.

[The Sproutarian (Mr Raw)]

so there is little point. My previous scepticism is valid and I can go back to being a non-pill-popper.
There is still benefit in some products. lt's not so bad if the product is lower priced. Lots of chlorella is half the price of the HHI stuff and only half absorbable, so it is not so bad.

Still, there are some good products out there, but not many. l wouldn't give up. lf you had 10 tabs a day from HHI (1,500 tabs in all), it would work out to alittle over $1 a day (that would include postage and stuff).

lf the worst comes to the worst, at least there is kelp powder and dulse.

[PansyLo]

I think mines is pretty high quality. It was pricey and it melts quite easily... not entirely in 10 seconds but it is a bit melty. Who knows though. If I'm absorbing half it's still better than nothing at all.

I found it helps a LOT with my blood sugar levels which caused me a lot of problems. That's the most noticeable benefit. I don't take it as often as recommended though.

[Mary Kay]

I have been seeking chlorella for months---I do not want pills. I want powder. I feel you get more "bang for your buck" without all the wasted processing and packaging. I've been researching and they're all either from Japan or China and grown outdoors. Since Fukushima, this has me skeptical.....Anyone know of a good source of powdered chlorella NOT grown outdoors in China or Japan.


Are there any other advantages to the pills other than just being able to pop them in your mouth?

Well, I'm wondering about China because some parts are probably far enough away from Fukushima....

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I've been looking for months.....

I no longer supplement, i won't avoid chorella but i noticed like you, that it doesn't do anything to me. At first, when i started to use spirulina, i noticed that my body wanted it and was craving like nuts over that. Since, that i have done my water fast, i am not incline to take that. So my thought are that you probably don't need it.

[Raw Angel Mom]

Mr Raw, which vitamin D or B12 would you recommend to be safe?

[walnutty]

Wet your hand and place a tablet in it. Does it almost melt away within 10 seconds?

Mr Raw,

Could you be more specific?

Does the water on your hand need to warm? Should the hand be slightly damp or very damp?

Any other directions?

I want to test the chlorella I have.

Thank you.

[walnutty]

This is the one that I was taking:

http://www.ultimatesuperfoods.com/ItemDetail.aspx?comcode=SU&plinid=CHLORE&item=CHT1000&type=pl&plnmain=CHLORELLA

[SunshineMN]

Walnutty, those remind me of the ones I got. From Taiwan as well but packaged by a different company. I took 4 tablets before I went to bed last night. Well, actually I just chewed them, the taste is different... not unpleasant though. I woke up this morning with my heart doing all kinds of funny beating. I popped on my oximeter and my heart rate was all over the place. 130 down to 65 back up into the 90's, though my oxygen level was fine. Took about 5 minutes for it to calm down and start beating steadily again, it was kinda scary. Not sure if it was from the chlorella or not. I may need to detox more before I can throw those in the mix, since I'm not in very good health in the first place. :/

I hope this doesn't stop anyone else from taking it. I just may have more heavy metal poisoning than I thought. I still have a couple mercury fillings I need to get rid of but can't afford to just yet.

[zac_haryy]

So I have never really read much about chlorella other then what I searched on google and I found nothing like this. I ordered raw food from a site and they sent free samples of chlorella and it says 50% + 50% ....what does that mean and how many is a recommended to take at a time?

Mr Raw, which vitamin D or B12 would you recommend to be safe?

l get my B12 from a world class soil based bacterial source from HHI., One of the few proper B12 supplements on the market.
http://www.hippocratesstore.org/root/supplements/lifegive/b-12-forte.htm

l get my vitamin D from: wheatgrass, blue-green algae, alfalfa sprouts, sunflower greens (main source). But if you aren't having those foods l would suggest this world class supplement:
http://www.hippocratesstore.org/root/supplements/lifegive/lifegive-sun-d.htm

HHI (lifegive) always take the time to put togeather the best most natural supplements possible. Lifegive never sell junk. This vitamin D is actually in the form of D3.

[walnutty]

This is the one that I was taking:

http://www.ultimatesuperfoods.com/ItemDetail.aspx?comcode=SU&plinid=CHLORE&item=CHT1000&type=pl&plnmain=CHLORELLA

Instead of putting a tablet in my hand, I placed one in a bowl of water. The tablet still had not dissolved after 30 minutes in water. This is very disturbing to me! I have 3 bags of these! So, I emailed the company asking for an explanation...

[MysticTree]

This morning I just feel really sicky. Don't think I'll take any Chlorella today.

[Mary Kay]

Mr Raw, thanks for sharing all your info. I did already know about chlorella, but did not know about the B12 look-alike thing.

As far as D3, I am not vegan, so do take it, but I thought D3 was not vegan.
I also want to thank you for the link to the chlorella from Taiwan, but I'm not comofortable with the distance from Fukushima either. Sigh. I did actually order some from Frontier, which was sourced in China, thinking I'd take a chance that it was far away in China...LOL....but they were out of it.

And finally, are you sure your real name isn't Brian C? LOL

Mary Kay

[MysticTree]

Lol. It's Ron I think!

[Mary Kay]

Sunshine MN,

Very interesting about your erratic heartbeat. But since it didn't seem to hurt you in other ways, maybe? you'd try it a couple more times to be certain it was the chlorella? Maybe a smaller dose?

Just a thought. Also, I'd borrow money/get a payment plan with your dentist, if necessary to get those darned mercury amalgums out. Your health is most important. Not a lecture, just a pep talk!

And if the chlorella is dumping the heavy metals into your system, a smaller dose may just trickle it out. Again though, you could be trying to remove it, but since you still have it in your mouth.....

Mary Kay

[MysticTree]

I decided to take them anyway. Broke them into halves and they haven't made me feel any worse.

Yes, interesting about the D3 thing. l wonder the same thing. l will have to find out about that. One thing l do know, HHI would NEVER EVER have animal products on the premises.

It would be amazing and the biggest honor possible to do Dr Brian's job and do the job that all my heros did (Kulvinskas and Wigmore). l can't imagine anyone being able to fill his shoes when he retires (l do worry about it), so l hope some gun comes along and completely tears it up. Directing HHI would be the ultimate dream job, l have always put that place on a pedestal.

[walnutty]

l'll get back to you later. Yes, that's not good. Unfortunately the company people are generally clueless so l wouldn't expect too much from them.


This is the reply I received from Ultimate Superfoods dot com:

"I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with our Chlorella. I recommend you discontinue use of the product. Our chlorella tables our made from our powdered chlorella just pressed into tables. There are no fillers or binders used. If you wish to continue use I would recommend chewing them or trying our powdered chlorella. If you would like to return it, please take them back to the store that you purchased them at. Please let me know if you have any additional questions."

Not really much of answer in regards to why their chlorella does not dissolve in water within a timely manner...

[walnutty]

Since I have so much of this chlorella, I am going to crush the tablets into powder with a mortar & pestle and then mix the powder with water and drink it. I don't remember where I purchased them, so I can't return them. I will report back on if crushing them resolved the constipation issue.

Yeah, I know. I've been wanting to remove them for a while. What I really need to do is get dentures and I'm a little scared to go have all the rest pulled out at once. Plus I don't really have the money for the dentures yet.

I may wait a bit and try chlorella again. My doctor has me on a pretty strong antibiotic right now for a skin infection in my leg that I'm having trouble getting to go away. It may be the combination of the antibiotic with the chlorella that did it.

I should have the money this week to get some nursery flats so I can start growing wheatgrass, sunflower greens, pea shoots, chia and flax greens. One step at a time. :D

Since I have so much of this chlorella, I am going to crush the tablets into powder with a mortar & pestle and then mix the powder with water and drink it. I don't remember where I purchased them, so I can't return them. I will report back on if crushing them resolved the constipation issue.

Crushing them won't do any good because the cells are too small. lf it was that easy, all the companies would be crushing them and making the chlorella highly absorbable. The problem is much more high tech than that. Anyway...don't worry about it, you'll still get benefit.

l'll try and do a chlorella experiment tonight and get back to you.



This is the reply I received from Ultimate Superfoods dot com:

If you wish to continue use I would recommend chewing them or trying our powdered chlorella. If you would like to return it, please take them back to the store that you purchased them at. Please let me know if you have any additional questions."


completely useless advice.

The ones I purchase already have their cell walls broken. I am just thinking in terms of the constipation. If I liquify the chlorella then they can't get "stuck" in me like they have been.

What kind of experiment?

I am interested in what you are going to do and also what the outcome of it is....Ü...

It seems to me that if the cracking of the cell wall involves a process as apparently complicated and specific as nuclear fission then should we be wanting to take it as a supplement.

If the cracking of the wall can't be done by the body then it is not a natural way of eating it to have the cell walls cracked for us.

Yes, it is....but if you ignore that there is some good information!
