My acne is almost gone. It's dried out quite a bit. Now if these spots will go away, I'll be a happy camper.

Also weight has been falling off as well. I've really changed my eating habits--trying to cut out meat completely. Almost there! Anyway the chlorella has really suppressed my appetite quite a bit. I have 20 pounds to lose so this is great!
 
Acne is gone and no new cysts since I reupped my dose! So hopefully this is the end of it. For the acne that developed since I started the chlorella there are few marks. In the past acne would always leave marks, so this is new. I wonder if it'll make old ones go away. If I could only be that lucky!

I'm up to 8g. No problems so far. I'll probably go up to 10 and stop there.

Also still no sign of my colitis symptoms! My doctor would have a fit if he knew the only "meds" I was taking is chlorella!
 
just checking in, kinda fell off the supplement train this weekend. I'm no longer green, which is weird. I started back on everything I'm taking on Monday but still no green. :( I'm thinking maybe for me my top off isn't 12g if it got out of my system so fast. I even feel like I'm detoxing again, two pimples on my cheek this afternoon. Anyone have this issue after missing a couple days worth of chlorella?

When I was at 6g I stopped for about 4-5 days and I was still green. I started back up and the acne did get worse and I was sluggish again as if I was detoxing again but I have steadily remained green since I don't know maybe 2-4 days after starting chlorella supps. I wonder if the difference for me was I started the powder after that 4-5 day break. I wouldn't think that would matter though.
 
Wenbev - YES!!!! If I miss more than a complete day - I stop being green. When I resume I detox again (lethargic, full feeling, etc.) and shortly after I am green again. I just went green yesterday after missing 2 doses on Friday and 2 doses on Saturday. I normally take 3 doses daily.
This happened before when I had my colonoscomy test.
 
What brands are you ladies using. I'm out looking for Chlorella today and I want to get the best. I picked up NOW brand but I'm returning it for one of the yaeyama brands.
 
KiWiStyle I'm using source naturals yaeyama. Take a look at the poll results to see which brands the original posters were using to help make a decision. There's chlorella and then there's yaeyama chlorella. :)
 
@KiWiStyle - I spent a couple of weeks researching and debating on which chlorella to buy next. My original purchase had been source naturals (non yaeyama). I ordered NOW brand because I was completely out - but I felt it would not be the final brand I decided on. It had higher mg per serving but the CGF was not stated. While waiting on that order I purchased Vitamin Shoppe 1000mg (from the retail store).

Last week I ordered Source Natural Yaeyama Powder (CGF 531mg) which is approx 3g per serving (1tsp) I haven't received it yet and I won't start taking it until after I have completed the NOW brand and Vitamin shoppe Brands. CGF is suppose to be the KEY ingredient in chlorella which (supposedly) yields all of the suggested benefits. If this is true I expect a noticeable difference in benefits.

I will keep you posted. But I think if I were you starting off, I would purchase the yaeyama type chlorella and a brand whose CGF content is known. The last thing I want to do is take pills for the sake of taking pills. I want to see hair growth and super benefits. :lachen:

ETA: Here is a pic of Source Natural Yaeyama Chlorella Powder I ordered. Posted Chlorella Growth Factor (531mg)

NSA yaeyama seems to be the consensus, thanks!

The other Whole Foods didn't sell the powder form of NS chlorella so I'm just going to use the NOW brand. I am going on vacation Friday so I won't start my detox until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe when I get back my regular whole foods location will have it back in stock.

KiWiStyle - I'm not sure if pricing is comparable but I ordered online from Vitacost.com.

Are you sure you want to start chlorella before going on vacation? The uncertainity of how your body will re-act to detoxing, to what degree you will detox, going green , as well as general adaptation to the supplement is an unknown. Not to mention the possibility of becoming Ms. Farty McFarster II :lachen:
 
man after reading through this thread I thought I finally found something that I use to take yrs ago that would take me through detox. and then I read that if you have something like lupus or ms that you should not take it because it will make our disease work over time. for now I will stick with the bamboo.

Shadiyah Congrats on reading thru the thread! I've actually heard the opposite about chlorella interaction , maybe more research might be called for. I believe the OPs mother had lupus was taking it as well. I have graves disease which is another autoimmune disease like lupus and I'm doing well so far. We'll see for sure once I do labs in a couple weeks.

Wenbev thanks... I have MS and my symptoms I have is easily aggravated by the littlest thing. I had to take another med because it made things worst for me. the extra twitches and all just not worth it. but was so looking forward to helping with my cholesterol lol. I am on a lot of meds so I can not take a chance but I will still ask my dr but it said not to take it no longer than 2 months.
 
Shadiyah and Wenbev

I also have an autoimmune disorder...two in fact and so far I'm thinking my ulcerative colitis is headed towards remission. Fingers crossed..

My mother had MS and was on so many meds before she passed. I've often wondered since I started taking chlorella if this might have been the answer for her. My SIL also has MS and I might recommend chlorella to her. "Unfortunately" she's married to a MD and not an OD so it'll probably be a no go for her.
 
Kilacurlz I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I really think the chlorella has helped me emmensly. I don't feel tired like I used to, my spirits are up, joints don't hurt so bad. I have a DO instead of an MD, an Endo and a Chiro/Kinesiologist. The latter mentioned taking chlorella for another issue and the more I read about chlorella I knew it could possibly help/ease lots of things going on in this bod of mine.

No, I'm going to start when I return from vacation. I don't want any flatulence problems or any other detox related problems for that matter.

Wenbev thank you so much!

You just made me realize another benefit...I don't have joint pain anymore. It was getting so bad in my toes, knees and wrists, but I only just realized after reading your post that the pain is gone! The only other thing that's ever helped has been msm, and of course the few times I've been in remission.
 
I'm so into this thread that I have a webpage always open to it (currently on p. 103). So far so goof, I'm at 6g/day, split into 2 doses/day. I will up my dosage to 8/g day starting Sunday. Taking chlorella has really encouraged me to take charge of me health and I see little improvements in all areas. Also, I've incorporated nettle tea as a daily drink and into a hair spritz & wash and I'm loving it! I got the idea from luckiestdestiny, the OP and I'm so grateful b/c/ it's been a God-send!
 
Onhergrind09 What kind of results have you noticed since using nettle tea in your hair? I ordered nettle tea from vitacost when they were doing their BOGO free. I've been drinking a cup daily for about two weeks. I always forget to use it as a final rinse since I've been wearing my hair straight since September. Once the heat kicks in here I'll go natural and incorporate the rinse more often.

I agree with Wenbev: I thought I had read chlorella was suppose to help with lupus. BUT, I totally understand your reluctance to take a chance.

Kilacurlz - sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope that you continue to show improvement so that your improved health will be send the message to your SIL and her husband.

I am very happy you all are seeing improvements in your medical challenges. I hope those improvements continuously increase to the degree that the chaallenges are eliminated.

KiWiStyle - glad that you are waiting. And have an absolute FANTASTIC vacation
