Hi Everyone - I've been traveling and haven't been on the forum for a few days. Got a lot of catching up to do.
Seamonster - do you make/use DIY Vitamin C serums? Some acne sufferers have good luck with it - some don't. Also, plain old aspirin is salicylic acid, which is known to fight acne. You can make your own peel with aspirins to tide you over until you are able to resume your retin a and skin peels regimen.

Jobwright- most of us try to increase by 1-3 grams weekly to allow your body time to adjust.
Fine 4s and mahogany7 = welcome to the thread.
I take chlorella and spirulina but I use a 1:1 ratio
Kiowa - my my my - you are going to "turn every place you go this summer - OUT - at the rate you are going"
. . 12lbs??? That is AWESOME!!! I haven't had weight loss yet - but if it is a choice between painless joints and weight loss : NO COMPETITION - painless joints wins.

ilong How do you make a vitamin c serum. I used to use expensive department store ones and my skin loved them.
I make my own salicylic acid oil it replaced my old prescription and works just as well to combat back acne. How do you make a peel with it?

@ilong It's only3lb per week
...it really curbs my appetite, I'm only eating half of what I used to eat, and stopped snacking
I had a health checkup last week, and everything came back normal. I don't think I am eating enough - I have my green smoothie in the am, and oats for breakfast, for lunch, I have my reg fruit smoothie with a salad - in the evening, I try and get some protein salmon or fish with a veg, and I am stuffed..The biggest difference I have had is that my PMS is more or less gone...I mean Aunt Flo snuck up me this month,because usually I am snarling,ready to bite someone's head off,and get terrible munchies
, people want to know what happy pill I am on, and I show them my green 'slime' as they call it...WHAEVER! I like the new mellow me...

I am still using the mask and each day my face is a little clearer. Not only is the acne clearing but the dark spots are much much lighter. It's been at least 23 or more years since my skin was this clear. I'm still waiting on the glow though. 
I'm also still trying to take 14 g internally. I've missed a couple of days and have regretted it. The weight I lost from it is creeping back on me too so I really need to get it together!
Eta today my DH took his first dose of the powder--2g. He's a health nut so it didn't take much convincing.

So...I was taking my 5 little pills (1g) at night because I didn't want to feel any "side effects" during detox. But for the last 3 nights I have been waking up at like 2 am with so much energy I can't rest. So, moving forward, I will take it in the morning so I can reap the benefits of the energy bursts. Only problem is I am a coffee drinker. First thing in the morning...my trusty cup of Joe... and after I drop the kids off I drink coffee with my MCD oatmeal on my drive in to work. So since I can't take CHL with coffee, I'm trying to figure out at what point will I remember to take it. Maybe I should order orange juice instead of coffee, but I so love my caffeine. Any other coffee drinkers in here that have figured out how to make it work in the morning?
Maybe I'll start having it with my lunch (I don't drink coffee then) ... maybe you could have yours then too?

I make a 20% Vit C serum using powder/crystal ascorbic acid. For example:
for a 10oz final vitamin C serum product
2oz. of Vit C Ascorbic Acid powder
2oz of an oil (jojoba, vitamin e, almond oil, etc.)
6oz. of DISTILLED water.
Dissolve vitamin c in Distilled water COMPLETELY. After vitamin c is dissolved completely add oil and shake well. Store in dark bottle (i.e. amber color) - protect from light. Make only enough for a week as the vitamin c serum will oxidize (turn brown) and should not be used.

Jobwright - I posted upthread "my experience" with taking chlorella and spirulina late at night in an attempt to help members avoid the late night energy bursts. Because they are high in protein and protein converts to energy - it is not recommended you take them late at night.
I am an AVID coffee drinker. I take my vitamins in the am with apple, orange or grape juice that contains MSM powder. By the time I get my coffee en route to work - I am done with my vitamins and can enjoy my Tim Hortons delicious coffee.

Wenbev - thanks for the welcome back. Trying to catch up.
Jobwright - if I am running late - I put my vitamins in the little plastic snack bags and take them with me. AND if all else fails - I have a back-up: I keep chlorella and spirulina in my vehicle. So I'm never without them.
Mahogony7 and g.lo - good news on "almost green". I wouldn't worry - I truly believe when chlorella has finished it's internal work - what it has binded to will come out.

Oh wow see this is what i get for not visiting the hair section for so long...
i recently went vegetarian and read that chlorella was an excellent source of protien. I didnt know of its hair benefits and now i am uber excited about it! I have been taking it for about three weeks nown and i am just now "green" i get bm every morning and i am glad about that. Im guessing my body is still detoxing because im still lethargic in the am however once i am up, i am up. My face is much clearer and my skin is very soft with little lotion granted this could all be because of my overall diet change but i will be paying more attention as my body gets used to everything. I take natures way chlorella in capsule form. I dont quite understand food labels but it says it has 1g of protein 815mcg of iron and 1230 mg of chlorella. I also have a green powder mix that i mix with my juices that contains chlorella. Green vibrance.

I think chlorella is making me calm. ..I'm normally pretty hyper, a fast walker, pretty much do everything quickly but lately I haven't been in as much of a rush (unless absolutely necessary)....could that be chlorella? It's only been the last couple of days but it's noticeable.
Welcome mallysmommy to the thread! How much and what brand are you taking?

I'm coming back to chlorella after a three year hiatus. 
I could not afford to be consistent with it, so I never re-started taking chlorella until now. I got some Jarrow Yaeyama tablets from my local Vitamin Shoppe until I shop online. I didn't want to spend the money and end up postponing the purchase again.I'll start slow at 500mg and increase the dosage to 1g next week.
