How about taking Chlorella?

[ilong]

I'm still trying to catch up on this thread....but what is a 'slug'?

^^^^^ it is the official/unofficial "chlorella gangsta'" initiation where you take a dose of chlorella POWDER with water only. no smoothie, no juice, nothing that tastes good - JUST WATER!!!

We mean serious business around these parts. <smile> We ain't Playin' - we are going to be healthy and have some long black purty hair.

ilong Is alkaline water made after you you use those Brita or other water distillers ? Haven't used mine in ages

 

[ilong]

@JC-Junkie - to make alkaline water, requires some sort of ionizer or ingredient to raise the pH levels of the water. When consumed the elevelated water then works to balance acid levels in the body. Which consequently, leads to detoxing the body and health improvement. If those systems you mentioned have this ability or ingredients with this capability - then I would assume you could make alkaline water. You can buy the alkaline water in bottles, large jugs, or make it yourself.

Baking soda is a common househould alkaline based product which affects pH levels. If you are familiar with chemical (acid based) skin peels then you probably know that baking soda applied to the treated area after a peel, reduces the activity of the acid peel. Years ago mechanics would make a paste out of water and baking soda to remove acid off battey posts/connections.

(Adding baking soda to water results in "alkaline water")

As always, I would research on my own.

ilong and you wonder why Im still circling around town taking my 80 tabs when you describe powder n water in such an unappetizing way! LOL.

 

[ilong]

Just a thought: "I just have a "gut" feeling that at some point of consistent intake and increased intake of chlorella/spirulina I am going to experience some very good hair growth. Maybe because many of the documented benefits have been experienced by me and/or other posters. So I would expect to see other benefits, hair growth being one, as well.

And when I do - I will not hesitate to update by fellow "chlorella gangsta's".

 

[ilong]

Wenbev - oh no no no no no NO no no no you don't. You aren't gettin' off the hook that easy. You already knew it was before I posted. And we know that you got what it takes to be a true "chlorella gangsta'"

fortune. Lol

[Wenbev]

Anybody get gassy with first few intakes?

Oh yes, I was calling myself Ms. Farty McFartster. A lot of other posters experienced the same

 

[Kilacurlz]

Anybody get gassy with first few intakes?

Yes but for me this went away really quickly. (Within a day or two.)

[yuhlovevybz]

I just got now food chlorella tablets. They taste good, kinda like seaweed. Is this the wrong type?

 

[ilong]

@yuhloveybz - I am taking the NOW brand currently, along with Source Naturals powder.
I don't believe NOW brand is yaeyama, which is a higher form of chlorella, but it's still effective.

I've been taking chlorophyll in my smoothies on a daily basis but I haven't noticed any big changes other than the green booboo. I use about 1/2- 1 tbs. Help?

Phoenix14 this is chlorella which is an algae. Chorophylll is found in chlorella, however to reap the benefits of detox, hair growth and overall wellness we are achieving, you need to get yourself some chlorella Come on in and try some

@Kiowa - I echo @Wenbev's "WELCOME TO THE THREAD"!!!

@Jewell and Kiowa - Isn't the level of energy these supplements deliver, amazing???

Not only that... but I feel 'full' most of the day...starting to eat 'cleaner' too...
For those on a higher amounts, do you take it all at once or throughout the day? ...

 

[JC-Junkie]

Qh I see thank you ilong for clearing that up ! I put allkaline water in the Google search engine and water filters came up also as well as bottled ones

 

[Kilacurlz]

Not only that... but I feel 'full' most of the day...starting to eat 'cleaner' too...

I take 14g total. I take 12g powder in a smoothie I sip on throughout the day. I take 5 capsules (2g) all at once.

I spread mine out, I think by doing that, I get and even amount in my body all day long. I know chlorella has prompted me to eat cleaner too

I'm out guys. I've been regurgitating on/off for the last hour and there seems to be no end in sight due to the nausea. There is nothing left in my stomach, is there anything I can do to stop it??

Oh dear sorry to hear @KiWiStyle ... I don't have any help

Thanks Nix08. I have to leave to get DD from school and I'm praying I'll be ok until I get back. For the first time in over an hour, I'm not feeling completely nauseas. Fingers crossed I can get back home without incident.

KiWiStyle I'm not sure but maybe try sipping room temp water very, very slowly. Flat ginger also tends to help, and maybe nibble on crackers to hold your stomach down. Feel better.

 

[Kilacurlz]

KiWiStyle just know, it will get better. I was very nauseas and couldn't eat for about 3 or so days once I upped my chl to 6gs I believe. I'm now at 14g and have none of those problems.

On a side note my acne is almost gone...again. The dark spots are fading as well. May not be the chl though since I'm using a moisturizer with AHA. But then again it could very well be this miracle supplement!

Ginger root tea might really help but I don't want to stop at the store...I did bring crackers, water and bags with me for the ride though.

Yes it will get better because I quit, LOL! I can handle a little nausea but vomiting for over an hour and still threatening to is beyond my tolerance. My stomach has been completely emptied.

For those having nausea/vomiting issues with chlorella are you taking a good probiotic? Chlorella is a very powerful prebiotic and if you don't have a good amount of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract to ferment it, it may cause issues. Trying a probiotic like Align is worth a shot. My gastroenterologist got my system and health back on tract with that probiotic.
