Yes, I'm taking Source Naturals tablets. I'm at 2 mg's today. Wondering if I should increase it or stay where I am.
I've also been taking iron supplements and aloe supplements to help me "go." I'm backing off the iron today and allowing my body to adjust. Maybe the chlorella will have that natural effect, but I think I may still need to supplement with iron.

I was able to go to the bathroom somewhat. Nothing worth mentioning, but it's really dark (TMI). I know that's the iron.

Yeah me too. Most sites say to decrease then increase again slowly but I have actually read one site that said to increase to help your body push past the detoxing effect quickly. I think you'd just have to try go with what you feel comfortable with whether it's taking a bit more and seeing how you feel or a bit less.

I felt more detox yesterday with taking only 1 mg. Today I've taken 2 mg's and I just feel bloated. I've also taken 4 mg's and experienced more detoxing through my skin. Maybe I'll go back up to 4 mg's and push past it. I want to push past it and prayerfully I'll have regular bm's like most people or you ladies that have experienced regularity with taking chlorella.

I may just be on iron overload and that may be the cause of the bloated feeling. Sheesh!! It's hard not taking my trusty aloe pills. I rely on those things because I don't go on my own, which is why I need chlorella in my life. (Not that you wanted to hear all of that. lol!!)
 
Are you ladies taking it on an empty stomach or full?

I think that would cause the detoxing faster on a empty stomach

Ok I see you were irregular before the chlorella, I thought it was causing you to become irregular. In that case it's probably better for you to take the aloe pills to help you go until the chlorella gets you on the regular "schedule". Chlorella binds to toxins so you don't want the waste with the extra toxins sitting in your intestines longer than it should, you want to get it out of you ASAP so maybe for now you should use the aloe.

Thanks. That's a good idea. I am very, very irregular. The aloe and the chlorella both worked together yesterday.

I love going away for a bit and coming back to see this thread blow up even more!:grin:

Ok so I couldn't wait for my source naturals powder to get here so I went out and got some Sun chlorella pills to tide me over. I have a rheumatology appointment coming up later this month and I want to show at least the slightest progress so I can hopefully prove to my rheumy that conventional meds aren't the only thing that works. He is a non believer. Only thing I have experienced so far is bloating and restless sleeping-I am tossing and turning a lot now. No energy for me yet but I suspect my body has a lot of toxins to get rid of from my normal meds alone!

Ladies I also want to add: I use to get multi vitamin injections at my docs office because I was depleted in everything and she said that since I was so depleted taking regular vits just wasn't gonna cut it until my levels were back to normal. I needed it to go straight into the bloodstream so nothing was lost in the gut. Anyways I would go every week and because of something in the concoction I got a warm sensation in my body as she injected. The longer it took me to feel this warm sensation the more depleted my body was of vitamins and minerals. Eventually after about a month and a half (6 injections) I began to feel it right away because my levels were back to normal.

I said all that to say if you don't experience the wonderful side effects right away it could be because it is taking the nutrients to where your body really needs it (internal organs, cells, etc.) and the hair and nails is one of the last things your body thinks about nourishing when something else is undernourished. The body is really good at prioritizing. If you don't see longer hair and nails right away and you don't have the best diet don't get discouraged give it time. It could be that your body is filling a need elsewhere and when that's done it will move right along and you will see the results. The good thing is that chlorella works FAST and even if you don't see it in a week you will see it soon if you are consistent. Those who see it quickly most likely already have a pretty healthy diet. Like LD has said she eats well and has already done a detox so she is reaping the benefits quickly because of her healthy choices before hand. HTH

And this leads me to believe that you can't just take Chlorella as your only healthy source of food and run out and eat big macs. :nono: Your entire diet and lifestyle has to be geared toward healthy eating and healthy living. Regular exercise, increase veggies, low caffine intake, low stress and continue the deep protein conditoners. :yep:

Wow so I definatly have to update you all on what happend today. So first of all I had the hugest BM ever! TMI I know but whatever. Anyone else noticed this? Second of all, this morning I had to eat breakfast and I forgot. There was a kitkat in my bag so I ate it. My body IMMEDIATELY rejected it and I was in SO much pain I had to leave my classroom. I overheated and passed out in our hallway. Upon waking up I got some cranberry juice and drank that, laid down some more, and then got one of those little lunchables with the crackers and turkey. My body took to that and the pain subsided. I don't know if this is an effect of the chlorella but it made me never want to eat candy another day in my life. It SUCKED!!!!

Also, when is the best time to take it. Night or day?
Click to expand...

WOW, this is a major red flag!!

I'm sorry this happened to you IndianAngel. It sounds like you were not only running on empty but on just sugar and you may have been dehydrated. Have you been drinking plenty of water or fluids in addition to swallowing liquids for the tablets? What did you eat the night before? How many meals a day have you been eating? Since you are going through a detox, a candy bar for breakfast will disrupt the entire system. Since your system is clearing out the junk there is no support for additional or new junk. Or you may have overloaded on sugar with that one candy bar, since you had an empty stomach.

I'll be taking mine with food. But healthy foods and get my three meals a day. I am in no hurry to detox fast. I will take my time with this. I really don't want to regret this healthy living journey by overdoing it or getting sick. :yep:

I take the powder. Honestly when I started it I was still eating pizza and stuff. I like Pizza! But that wasn't really bad I just felt the normal gurgling I should. I was MAJORLY gassy. But this morning when I ate the chocolate I had an empty stomach.
 
YAY!!!! My chlorella just arrived!!!!! :spinning:

I have the Earthrise brand from Vitacost...the tablets.

The directions say I need to take 6 pills per day, but from reading this thread I know that i need to start off slowly.

Should i take only pill a day this week and slowly increase each week??

Or should I start off with more???

Let me know! :grin:

Ok so now I'm also feverish in addition to the cough and sore throat. Oh boy, this had better pass.
Click to expand...

I took tylenol to relieve the symptoms and have been able to function just fine. The symptoms pass quickly.

Someone asked about a Green Blends Powder, there is one from Earthrise. It can be found reasonably at www.luckyvitamin.com

I take the Earthrise Greens Blends tablets along with 70mg of liquid Chlorophyll, and I am getting the same results with regard to detox. My symptoms have passed and I am not sure I need to up my dose. I feel satisfied where I am.
 
I took 1/2 a pill yesterday (500mgs) and didn't have any reaction whatsoever, not even gas or bellly gurgling or anything...so tonight I took a whole pill (1000mgs) and we'll see what happens. I'll stick with one pill for a while and gauge my results.

Everybody can't take it and your body might be rejecting it. I don't think you should be fainting!:sad:
Click to expand...

I'm thinking it's more from not eating breakfast. But to be safe cut back a little if you keep having problems. I think if you're allergic the reactions are violent vomitting and stuff like that. I have noticed I don't want sugar anymore. I just don't desire it as much. I'll take two bites of something sweet and put it down. I think her body may not want sweets but the fainting is more from not eating. She said she ate lunchables and felt better. If she had a problem with the chlorella no amount of food would've made her feel better!
 
Muse said:
Yes this is true. Detoxing shouldn't cause you to faint. Sometimes it's hard to tell if your body is detoxing to quickly or if it just can't handle the chlorella period. I hope everyone here who tries it can tolerate it. Maybe you should cut the dose a bit.
Click to expand...
Agreed w/ cutting it just to be safe.
