I've been wrong many times before but I still can't imagine that brewing a warm cuppa nettle tea and stirring chlorella in it would taste good. :look:

You had me at hello.

I was thinking the same thing. I was kinda speechless when I saw the smoothie. I do thank curly Moo for posting it though, as maybe someone else may like it. But me:nono:
 
I am gonna drink it. I just remembered I ordered 120 bags!:blush:

If I don't like the taste, I will rinse me and my daughter's hair with it.

I know what you mean about the taste of things, drinking the powder superfoods supreme from GNC is a task everytime and it is berry flavored. I have the nerve to add my liquid mint flavored chlorophyll to it.:ohwell:

All in the name of great health, I am lovin it!

You know I drink it, use it as a rinse and keep some in spray bottle for my daily moisturizer. It taste like herbal tea a mild version of black tea.

Oh, I agree with you. I can't imagine drinking chlorella with tea. But some folks do things like that.
 
Hey ladies,

This is for those who have lost weight, to help those who may be looking for that benefit. I was trying to isolate what helps that process whether it's just in the bodies own time, or if it's the way it's taken.

Do you take your chlorella w/ food, or at another time during the day?

I take mine with my food.

When I say w/ it can even be around meal time like 30 minutes, before or after. I take mine like five minutes before (how ever long it takes me to drink it) my dinner. And I only take it once a day.

I take mine 30 minutes to an hour before or after. Not with a meal as I'm eating, I just don't like taking it with food just yet. I always get the feeling it wouldn't stay down.

I've been doing it that way since the beginning, but if you feel queasy, sure I understand. I still think anytime before or after a meal is helping that meal to process better and the nutrients to process better in the body....just a theory.

Hope to hear more responses on this.

BTW I love the waves in your avatar, just noticed...you did change it right or am I just imagining things?
 
My headaches are gone and I must be in the energetic phase. Because one minute I was quietly sipping nettle tea and then I was doing laundry, moving furniture, cleaning the kitchen and throwing out trash. I rearranged my entire living room. The thing is that I didn't feel especiallly energetic, moving tables and couches just seemed so effortless. I just feel strong and like I have more stamina.

I need you to help organize over here!:lachen:

I am so helpless with that stuff, though my place is super clean, I really need to organize stuff more effectively.
 
Oh ladies I wanted to add, I noticed hair growth on my head, eyelashes, nail growth, and annoyingly toenail growth (that I have to cut repeatedly) but no growth on my face so that makes me happy.

Thank you Lukiest, you noticed. YAY! :yay:Yes I did change my avitar. I was wondering if someone would notice and eagle eye Luckiest spotted it.

I like the idea of taking CHL after a meal to help process the nutrients, I take it 3x a day so it's spread out throughout the day; before and after my meals.

:lachen:

Luckie I've been wanting to do this for over a year now. Sunday is my designated cleanup day, but I put this off because the idea of rearraging the living room seemed like to much. I finnally got that painting up that had been sitting on the floor for a year. :lachen:

And the funny thing is that I didn't even break a nail. My nails are so strong Luckie, and they stayed strong while cleaning the dishes. Usually they get really thin, bendable, and then break off when I open a cabinet or something. I don't know how I managed to not break a nail while pulling and pushing furniture? :spinning: Chlorella is doing this. MT does not make my nails THIS strong.

Congrats! I would love for my eyelashes to get longer. They are already long and thick but I want them rediculously long, like little eye fans. :yep: I can do without the toenail growth though. My nails are stronger and thicker almost like my toenails but prettier.
 
:sad::blush::look: Does this mean I can't eat my oxtail stew? :lick::ohwell:

No, not at all! Eat the oxtail by all means, it's just the artificial junk we take in when eating/drinking. Things like sweeteners, flavour enhancers, preservatives etc in food and drink - these, in my opinion are toxic and our bodies could do without them. Good old oxtail on the other hand with lovely herbs and spices and veggies added........ making me drool!:lick:

I used to work for a nutritional supplement company (pharmaceutical-grade omega 3&6 oils). Our advice to consumers was always to take the oils along with food, as this created the best environment for absorption into the body.
 
Wow, I just had to read like 7 pages since yesterday - this sure is a party!

Guys, I just wondered - chlorella and all the other superfoods we are taking detox our bodies. Just curious why some are still taking colas and such which add even more toxins to the body? Or am I OTT? I mean, the detox symptoms I went through last week were so nasty, I've not eaten or drank anything with ingredients I have any doubt of - I'm scared, lol. Then again, I went full monty on detox and was just on water, teas and freshly extracted fruit and veg juices for 6 days, lol. Intense! Now I'm mostly on smoothies and juices and water, water and more water and all is well - thank God.

Point I'm trying to put across - if your taking superfoods and detoxing, give your body a chance to do a good job of it, support that temple, don't pour in toxins as it struggles to clean up and eliminate what's there already. You will find your cravings for these stuff goes if you stay away from them while you detox.

Just sharing, hope I've not offended anyone and if I have, I apologise.

Here's to health!


This is precisely why I didn't start taking chlorella the minute I eyeballed this thread, I was still fighting my 'I wanna eat chocolate and lots of it!' side. I think I've pretty much got it under control now :look:

Chlorella will probably control it for you!:lachen:

I didn't stop wanting fries (even if they're organic it's still bad if you eat it a lot), or pasta, or chocolate on my own. It wasn't as if I made up my mind to stop. Taking chlorella just MADE me stop. Some how I'd take a bite and not want any more.
 
I hope it does the same for me sistagirl, I need saving from myself!

Its so annoying because I generally eat well, but once I start having choc, it becomes an everyday indulgence, and then I fall off in other areas - exercising, eating things I know I really shouldn't...
 
:grin:It's my one month anniversary.:hug3:

How do I love thee chlorella let me count the ways (okay I know it's cheesy):

1. hair growth.
2. Great nails
3. Skin is off the charts good right now.
4.weight loss

This #4 deserves a little more clarification. As of today I lost 14 pounds in one month. I KNOW that's a lot so I talked to my boyfriend who is a med student in his fourth year (about to graduate). Anyways he says that it's not an alarming amount: recommended is 2-3.5 so I'm still in the safe range. Also as I'm not dieting, I'm doing just fine. So YAY!:bdance:

Okay let's go on shall we.

5. Longer eye lashes (I want them to look like they have mascara on them w/o it gosh darn it so grow lashes grow!)

6. Longer toe nails (ew! I have to cut them alot but I'll deal w/ it. A small price to pay.)

7. I am SOOO regular. Like once to twice a day and I like it.

8. rash cleared in four days, not bad for a detox side effect.

9. I have a little more energy (considering my thyroid state and autoimmune illness I'm not mad at that. I'm sure I'd have lots more if I was completely healthy).

10. Me no stinky!:lachen::lachen::lachen: I don't have to go on there...
11. My eyes are really white instead of slightly bloodshot even if I pull an all nighter studying.

12. Hair is softer.

13. I think scars are healing better. I'm not sure yet because I'm in denial. I checked my hand over and over as I had a surgery scar there. I took a pic and I'm going to see how it does over the next month and check back in with everyone.

14. I just love that it's working for everyone else here!


:beach: The future looks bright for chlorella.

May we have continued improvement and health!:yep:

Ok so I tried the nettle tea last night. I love it! I heard a few people say they were having a hard time with the taste but I like it. I did add some lemon and 2 teaspoons of sugar(don't have any honey:sad:) but 2 tsp is 8g of sugar-a LOT better than the juice I was taking in.

I did mix a little chlorella in to see if I would like it (1/3 teaspoon) and I have to say it wasn't bad at all but anymore than that and I probably would have a hard time. So mixing a whole tsp is out of the question but I didn't mind trying because I have downed WAY nastier things for the sake of my health -anyone who takes prednisone and gets it caught on your tongue knows what I mean:yep:

On another note, I drank 2 cups of nettle tea before bed last night and I selpt like a baby! I haven't been sleeping too well for the past couple of weeks and last night I felt like I was on a mild sedative. I didn't ingest anything new besides the tea. Anyone else experience this when drinking this tea right before bed? Is it known to help with sleep?

That's why I take it at night. It's really calming and soothing. i usually take it before bed. It's not known for that, but I find that it's true. I really does make you more relaxed. That's why it's a treat to take it because I feel more relaxed at night.
 
I can't find this green machine stuff anywhere. :( where are yall getting all this stuff? I don't think we stores with this stuff out here :( And this Nettle Tea what's the diff between drinking that and regular tea!?

And I am also a walking fart..... Ure not alone out there.

On another note. I definatly notice my hair growing for once. I don't know if it's the Chlorella but I think it really is increasing my growth. I'm excited to take my picture in March I hope it really is increasing the growth

They are Naked Juice products. You can find them in Walgreens or Jewel. You can go to the website and plug your zipcode in the locator to find stores in your area.
 
Nausea the last couple of days, ever since I ate Steak n Shake. I limited my food to fruit, veggies, and meat yesterday and was fine until I ate a bowl of Kroger brand Captain Crunch cereal. Not sure how long this intolerance is going to last, but I hope not too long because it makes me feel like a weakling to get nauseous when eating stuff everybody else can eat and be fine! :ohwell:
 
Just ordered some Nettle tea from iherb. Can't wait to start sippin it at night. I'm also thinking about brewing some and putting it in a spray bottle for my hair.
 
Well ladies you just can't share everything with everyone:nono:. I get a call from my primary doc about my blood tests and she says that my iron and magnesium levels are on the normal to low side but not deficient. I was previously dangerously low in both but considering that I haven't taken supplements for either for more than 4 months that is pretty darn good for me. Then she says that i am dangerously low in vitamin D. I told her at an earlier visit that I was taking chlorella and she turned her nose up at it. She then asked me if I was taking my vit D supplements and i told her no because I am taking my algae. Then she's like "Um...I don't think it has vitamin D, I don't understand why algae would." I said "Yes it does it has more than the supps you told me to take." She said "No it doesn't." I said "Yes it does I am looking right at the nutrition facts." I then read to her how much it has.

Then she told me a lot of times supplements don't really have what they say on the package in them and that I need to get an independent company to check the level of vits. So I told her that maybe I should get an independent company to test the supps she wanted me to take to make sure they had what was on the label.

She is a big supplement pusher and doesn't believe in today's society that you can get all of your vits from just food. She says the only way I can get D is from the sun or the supps she recommends. I asked her how long it could take to see an improvement in levels if I took supps and she said it could take up to a month so I told her well I have only been taking this algae for a couple weeks and she's just like:nono: I told her I would rather get my vits from food now and she said that was impossible. I told her I eat a lot of bananas now for magnesium and she said that's not enough. I find that funny because I'm not deficient in that anymore so I'm getting it from somewhere enough so that it takes me out of deficiency. I'm sorry but I have never heard of a doctor that pushed supplements over healthy eating. Then she went on about how great supplements are and that's why it's a billion dollar industry and I told her the drug industry is a billion dollar industry but that doesn't mean it's good for you! She didn't say anything.

Sorry this was so long but I am completely frustrated and a little down over this. I feel like I have finally found something that will help so many deficiencies that I have and I am so excited and to have my doc completely smash it down WITHOUT even knowing a single thing about it! makes me feel :sad: She never once recommended a healthy diet but she pushes her pills. After I got off the phone with her I remembered what LD said about 4 months being the amount of time a lot of deficiencies were corrected in various studies. I will give myself 4 months and if I take a blood test and it has still not improved then I will try it her way. I think that's only fair. I have now decided to keep my excitement about this stuff here on the boards where people don't shoot it down without knowing anything about it beyond it's name.
 
LuckyD Congrats on all your progress, I guess if its been a month for you I should be coming up on a month next week. I will be sure to post my observations so we can all compare. And extra congrats on the weight loss.

I have been thinking and I am going to formulate a personal challenge for myself for March and April and Possibly May. I had that thread about "maximum" hair growth potential and I really think its a matter of getting your body back to basics and then enhancing the growth function some how. So I have been coming up with ideas on how to take the age old advice of "eat right and exercise" to its most efficient point and still have an enjoyable day to day life where I don't live at the gym and eat raw tomatoes. And I think I have some ideas, all this started because of this chlorella journey. I have always been a bit of a geek when it comes to health foods and folk medicine but Chlorella really got me, I love the effects its having on my mind and body, I feel enhanced if that makes sense.

LOL, sorry for the long post, just thinking out loud I guess.
 
Muse, give it the four months on the Chlorella and maybe research some other foods that have what you need. I really think you can correct your problems through diet and exercise. Modern medicine hasn't always been around and people were obviously healthy enough to live and procreate before the multi-billion dollar supplement industry came about. Through research and persistence I know you can do it, and keep in mind that some people took higher doses of Chlorella to cure their problems and deficiencies. Maybe you should go even higher like in the 10-15g range for the next few months if you can handle it.

disclaimer: Im not a doctor, Im not trying to give medical advice, You should consult a doctor that wants to listen to your concerns, Im only repeating whats been posted already on this thread

Sorry I had to CMA


I know that Blackstrap molasses can provide iron and you can use it to sweeten your tea instead of honey or sugar.
