How about taking Chlorella?

[Muse]

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.

Thank you Kimbosheart. It's funny because I did tell her that people were doing just fine long before supplements. I just finished doing a bit more research on algae and vits and mins needed, how much and where to get them from and I feel pretty safe giving this a shot. I figure I can't be any worse off than I was when I was walking around unknowingly with these deficiencies and not doing anything about it.

Awesome! Thanks for the molasses tip! I will pick some up tonight because I'd like to replace the white sugar.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Hooray! I got my nettle tea in the mail today! Thanks AMAZON. I am going to have some before I lay back down before work tonight.

Let us know what you think of the taste mariofmagdal,

I think you ordered the NOW brand, right?

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Well ladies you just can't share everything with everyone. 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 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 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.

You shouldn't be down! You have been taking these supplements for less time than me and in that time you've gone from dangerously low in in iron and magnesium to on the normal to low side! That's NOT even what I was expecting you to report. I know chlorella works fast but that's AMAZING. Some thing may take longer than others. Definitely give it the four months as you've only been on chlorella for a couple of weeks. I think you should be proud of the report.

Let's talk worse case: You take a D vit or get it from other foods. I don't think that will happen, but I'm just worse casing the situation in a few months. How many other vitamins were you normally taking? I understand about Docs and medicine pushing. My boyfriend is in med school and is only open to alternative methods because he's seen what I've gone through with docs, and being hospitalized, etc. So he's seen how I've turned myself around. I do take the medicines that the doctor prescribe, but when it comes to adding more stuff like vitamins there's just no point when it's in food.

Shame on her for not recommending a healthy diet! MUSE you are making your body healthy from the inside out! You keep going.

But PLEASE realize that this report is outstanding. We've got to see our blessings. For anything to register in two weeks is wonderful.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

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.

No Thanks for the long post! You're apologizing? Then I should apologize for all my posts. I agree about maximizing your health to me it's tweaks that can make the difference. Like I shop organically for everything but if I want some chocolate I have it, just organic (although now w/ chlorella I haven't wanted that). No one has time to be in the kitchen juicing all day (er...maybe I shouldn't say that, I should say MOST people don't have time to juice all day) and eat raw tomatoes all day and night.

To me it's like putting your health and hair on auto pilot. The best stuff goes in, the best results accumulate (depending on the person some will take longer than others but it WILL happen because it has to).

I like autopilot because I can then focus on other things, because I know that good things will happen, because I've done everything I can to make them. Now I don't have to just watch that kettle boil (I think you used that expression but I totally agree with it) because I know it's going to, so I can just move on with my life. I like to free up my time, and simplify as much as possible.

As for length checks and stuff, I'm not bothering for some months because I know this is good stuff and will help me. I even have scar on my hand. I took a pic and will do another in a couple months because I think a scar is healing. But will I check on it everday? No way! I'm leaving it alone just like my hair. Once I find out it's true, I'll post it. Just to share the progress that chlorella is causing in my body.

Think of the four month mantra, almost everything great with chlorella happens around the fourth month, so if we keep taking it, great effects will accumulate.

Notice I'm not saying maybe anymore I'm really confident in this super food.

As for other foods as long as you maximize it'll help you to get the most. Things like blueberries with antioxidents and seafood really help to make your life healthier. I'm not even worried about mercury as chlorella pulls it out. But I don't need to go on, everyone has a clue what to do, it's just doing it that matters.

Also I should mention that things take time as I'm sure you know, so whatever tweaks just make sure you give them time to register in your body because if we're doing the right thing they will. I think we just get into the now! Now! Now! and get frustrated and quit before the good stuff happens. It will happen with consistency.

What I'm trying to say in my long winded away is I did find a secret that's not really one:consistency. That's the greatest hair growth, health, everything secret of all in my opinion. Or rather I should say EFFECTIVE consistency!

 

[yodie]

Muse, we're right in there with ya! I think you made a great decision and I wish more doctors (Western Medical Dr.'s) would try holistic approaches vs. quick fixes. I'm treating some issues over here and I think we'll both see a huge improvement within four months.

Sipping Nettle tea right now. I need it.

Felt nauseous off and on today. Thought I was going to upchuck at one moment. Even with that, I feel like CHL is one of the best things I've done for my body in a long time. I just know my issues with constipation, anemia, weight and hair will be much better in about four months or so.

No BM's for the last two days, but I finally went today. BOY!! And that's all I say.
I feel like this stuff is cleaning my intestines and making clear passageways. I tend to have alot of mucus. Better out than in!

Eating: Well, I stopped for an Egg McMuffin this morning. Not the best choice, but I was running late and it didn't taste the same with CHL. I ate it because that would be all the food until school ended. Oh, grabbed a cookie in the office this morning. Phewy! Tasted like concrete (no, I don't really know what concrete tastes like.) I threw that away.

 

[babydollhair]

I have read so many wonderful testimonials on here already! I know it helped me in so many ways dealing with my eyesight, energy, proably kept my weight down after i had the baby, didn't experience postpardum shedding. So anyway, i havent been taking the powder lately...., i must admit i have been trying the amino fuel i read about now, and garlic, and sea vegetables, it can be alot, i actually have 2 get bk in the habit of taking chlorella powder, i need discipline! I hope i didn't disappoint anybody, i did but then i fell off! I will incorporate it again, Anyway if u didn't know amino fuel makes hair grow too! This thread is awesome!

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Ya'll get this! My 74 year old cool as heck dad told me his BM was green today! That just tickled the heck out of me!!

He's taking 15 tabs a day and is loving it, so far so good, no detox symptoms. He thanked me time and time again for looking out for him.

I'm getting ready to order him some aloe juice also. I have him on SAMe, MSM and probiotics. I'm taking care of my daddy and he is in GREAT shape too !

He walks every day and lifts weights at the gym!

 

[CurlyMoo]

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!

Oh great! Because I just finished off a huge pot of it and it had so many veggies and delicious spices in it too. With a lump of oxtails. I'm celebrating my Chinese birthday Year of the Ox.

Thats so cute. I gave my pills to my mom. I want to give them to my grandma but Im worried because she has other problems.

LOL at bolded. Glad you enjoyed yout oxtail stew - I've not had any for years - hubby doesn't like it.

Muse, so glad about your bloodwork you and your body have done well and thanks to chlor (and God, if you believe) for that! Keep taking it and do not be discouraged by the doctor's ignorance - yup, that's what it is, ignorance! I'm HUGE on natural remedies right now, reading books, countless articles etc and nothing in medicine can cure as well as the pure, potent power of nature. Nothing! I work in medicine (as a nurse) and well, we are all trained to treat symptoms, never the cause of a problem - your chlor and healthy eating might get to the cause of your deficiencies and sort them out. The VitD supp your Dr's pushing will only give you VitD and that's it. It's not holistic. Doesn't look into healing the whole of you.

I watched a clip on youtube recently that really testifies to the power of nature in healing. It promotes the raw lifestyle and I know we are not about that here (Disclaimer: I'm not raw, though I eat at least 80% raw on good days). Let me share it with you ladies just to demo the powerful healing of nature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSUw9SaPLmA

Strive to be healthy. Base it on facts, make informed decisions and take control of your health (we're doing it here anyway).

Keep well girls, have a fab weekend!

**off to make me a green smoothie for brekkie, lol

 

[mariofmagdal]

Let us know what you think of the taste mariofmagdal,

I think you ordered the NOW brand, right?

Yes, Now brand. I just finished my first cup and I love the taste! It tastes like a regular herb tea to me.

You shouldn't be down! You have been taking these supplements for less time than me and in that time you've gone from dangerously low in in iron and magnesium to on the normal to low side!

Thank you so much LD! You are right I should have been looking at it the other way. That my magnesium and iron have improved without the use of conventional supps. The vit D thing can be improved given time. I feel MUCH better and even more hopeful than before today.

Muse, we're right in there with ya! I think you made a great decision and I wish more doctors (Western Medical Dr.'s) would try holistic approaches vs. quick fixes. I'm treating some issues over here and I think we'll both see a huge improvement within four months.

Yay me too! *takes another sip of tea* Thanks Yodi I knew I could find encouraging words here. I love it here! I am also glad to hear that cookies taste like concrete to you, lol It's working !!

Thanks Jaxhair! I wish we had more doctors and nurses here with your mindset. You are right about the vit D just treating one part and not the whole. I am actually enjoying being more proactive about my health now

Hi Babydoll hair, we still love you even though you aren't taking it You helped us get started!

Were you taking chlorella while pregnant? Because I wonder if this would be even better for a baby than taking prenatals.

I have taken Amino Fuel before but not long enough to see results I couldn't even make it through my first bottle. It was just so thick and SWEET to me, hard to get down and tasted like concentrated orange juice without any water. Do you mix it with anything? I got the idea from one of the ladies on this board-she said she got a LOT of growth in one month from taking it.

Owww I'm happy for your dad I just did 15 tabs today but my poo is not green yet. Then again I haven't gone yet.

 

[Muse]

Holding steady at 9g chlorella. I am completely regular even more so than before I started and I have noticed a lack of interest in junk food. Not COMPLETELY gone but lots better than what I was. I don't feel like I have to have a sweet treat after dinner like I use to, my tea takes the place of that now and it satisfies.

I did do a nettle rinse and I can't believe how soft my hair is AFTER it's dry. One thing though I did use a new conditioner also so I guess maybe it wouldn't be fair to give all the credit to the tea just yet but I am willing to bet that's what it was because I have NEVER had any conditioner make my air dried hair feel so soft BEFORE I put any products in. For some reason I have a really coarse patch of hair right in front and NOTHING softens it unless I flat iron it. It's soft now! I am going to leave out the new conditioner next time so I can see if it's the nettle that did it. This may be my answer to crunchy air dried hair.

 

[yodie]

Today is wash day. I can't believe how fluffy and soft my air dried hair feels. I think this is because of the nettle rinses. If so, (I'll find out after many rinses) I'll be a nettle rinsing girl for life!

Yesterday wasn't a good day. Felt nauseous most of the day. I also ate poorly and I think CHL beats me up when I have bad food in my system. Slight headache today and I'm backed up from the junk I ate yesterday. UGH!! Good lesson though. No more eating out for a long time and I have no desire for sweets. It's a new day.

Holding steady at 10g and longing to ditch my aloe for good. Not yet!

 

[mariofmagdal]

I feel bloated and fatigued today. My body is in pain to the point I had to put a brace on my hand. I slept most of the day. I am gonna force myself to eat and then enjoy some nettle tea.I have to wash DD hair, I am gonna brew some nettle tea and try it out on her. Thanks ladies for the great tea rinse updates.

I was reading a study about pregnant women taking it and benefitting but that it's necessary to ask the doc.

Amino Fuel...maybe Babydollhair didn't know aminos are in chlorella at the time? I guess if you want to get even more, but then you can just up your chlorella dose IDK to each their own.

I love Babydollhair, she's been instrumental in letting us know about long term use of this product!

lovetolearn2828

If you're constipated it's important to cut your dose until your body is used to it. We've posted articles and stuff (and MUSE posted and explained how it's bad to let it sit in your intestines as chlorella pulls out toxins and all those toxins will be just sitting there ready to be reabsorbed). So you want them out! If not constipation, please disregard.

 

[SouthernStunner]

I wanna thank everyone that has helped me. No the taste was not for me but I ordered the tablets and will be getting them soon.

I was getting down because I live on a small island (30 miles long 24 miles wide) so there isnt a Whole Foods but I did find 2 organic shops (they didnt help but its nice to know there here) and I finally found some Green Foods juice and it has spirnulla and chlorella in it. So that with the tablets should be all I need. I will start the juice this Monday and the tablets the following (dont want to put my body in shock). Oh and the juice is not bad.

I will PM the person that wanted my powder chlorella. Many have PMed me so it will be the first one.

--SoutherStunner

 

[Whimsy]

I'm slightly miffed at myself for not being as consistent as I should. I hate the gaseousness and the bellyrumbleness the chlorella gives me, but I love being regular. Going once a day is fabulous for me. I'm going to try to take 3g in the a.m. and 3g at night and see how that goes.

I'm so glad to read about all the benefits everyone's having!!

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Excellent article. Thanks!

I find this article, http://chlorella-europe.com/chlorellaweight.html, very interesting as well! It was excellent and most of what it has said I have personally to be true. What's even more interesting is this. Everyone, including me, has talked about their desire for less sweets. Well, in this article, it says that chlorella has high percentages of phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is used as a sweetener in diet soft drinks and snack foods, as a calorie free alternative. One thing I heard though is the way they were "harvesting" the phenylalanine was not good and dangerous for health. Apparently, chemical or bioengineered sweeteners make the bile thick and therefore, inhibit the body's ability to emulsify fats and therefore, causes more weight gain. That's why many people dont drink diet drinks. And the chemicals used to make it weren't good for you. But if it naturally occurs in chlorella, and as an amino acid, then it's most definitely or probably safer.

This article is interesting because it says that chlorella naturally has this, which is an amino acid. Which is probably why it satisfies one's cravings for sugar, even though the chlorella isn't sweet at all. This is certainly my theory, and somewhat tested, but of course, I'm not running a control group and test group, so who knows. Just a thought though!

Did you try adding the chlorella to that green juice before you give up? I'm just betting it'll work for you, or at least I hope so.

Yeah. If you can just find a way to be consistent and power through the gaseousness should subside w/ consistence. Stopping and starting probably causes your body to have to get used to chlorella all over again.
Glad that it makes you regular and please update us!

 

[Whimsy]

Would it be a bad move to take 6gs in the evenings only? I think this would help ease the gassy daytimes...I don't mind being a farty mcfartster at home.

Yeah, thanks for the article. Yeah it's definitely talking about stuff engineered in the lab, not made in nature which is why chlorella is considered a perfect super food. And also causes fat LOSS instead of causing gain (that study I provided earlier about the people losing body fat over four months of taking chlorella) for those that need to lose it, though balancing the bodies metabolism.

I wonder about the whole sugar thing, as chlorella doesn't have a lot of sugar in it at all. Maybe just the natural version of that that's there helps w/ that craving. That could be a good theory, but then again it does also help w/ my cravings for everything from pasta to chocolate.

Thanks again

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Would it be a bad move to take 6gs in the evenings only? I think this would help ease the gassy daytimes...I don't mind being a farty mcfartster at home.

I don't split mine up in the day.

Could also be a reason you're not as consistent.

For those that are driven to do so, they can do that. I know myself. If I split into two, I'd forget one, or get preoccupied w/ something else and not have the time, etc. So I set habits so I don't forget. For instance my medicine for my thyroid I take it right when I wake up PERIOD. So I don't forget. For chlorella I take it right at dinner period, so I don't forget. I'm making my dinner and I'm like darn it, where's my chlorella. Or I'm out getting a bite, I reach right in my bag and get some chlorella tablets because I've made it a habit.

So I just take my whole thing at dinner. It says it can be taken any time so that's what I do.

Would it be better to take it split? Probably. But it's better to take it consistently more importantly than any other factor so I'd say go for it! Take it at night. Heck I take more than 6 grams in one sitting and I've been doing the dinner thing every day for a month.

Great Stars in Heaven my hair is growing faster!!

I have got to straighten my hair next weekend for a length check photo...

It's really soft too !!! I won't even mention my nails!

ETA: I just read LD's post, I take a dose in the morning without fail, then I take another either before lunch or before bed, I just feel compelled to spread my dose out through the day. My dad is taking them 3 times per day. To me it's like food so I want to make sure it's in my system at least every 12 hours.

I might add it's been working out for me, so I don't think it's a detriment to take it once a day and every article I read said it can be taken at anytime
