How about taking Chlorella?

[luckiestdestiny]

I have the small Source Naturals Chlorella. It requires 10 small pills a day. So what I decided to do is crush the pills and put it in my drinking water. I tried chewing the pills, but they taste disgusting to me, so I'd rather just add to my water and take it that way.

If you can do that, you might want to order the powder. In addition, those 10 tablets have about 2 grams. When you increase, you may want more. I believe you can do the powder as it tastes just the same and can save you some money. I started out with source tablets!

When I finish the pills, I'm going to take the powdered form:

Just noticed this. Please ignore m previous post. This is what I have!

Cosigning there... I thought the same thing earlier in this thread...
That if the protein was the active ingredient, then we're definitely going to get more of that here since CHL is higher than even beef. I'm not sure if eggs have more protein than beef, anybody know?

..

I think the eggshake is more than just protein. With both the eggshake and the chlorella there is a huge synergistic effect. So there is no one thing about it that can be pinpointed for why it works so well. I pretty much stick to the basic ingredients listed in the eggshake, I have switched milk for 4oz of green goodness. But I really think it works so well because you take it on a completely empty stomach and then you are supposed to give it at least 2 hours before you eat so that all the nutrients can be absorbed. All those beauty ingredients go straight where they are supposed to. Give it a try for thirty days, just like you did the chlorella.

And you will be right behind me and probably surpass my hair growth and other results. However even with all the benefits I have seen in this short month, I think Im going to be amazed after 4 months have passed thats the magic number.

Congrats to everyone on such wonderful results.

HAIR
DC'ing my hair today. My hair feels sooo good. I spritz everyday with Nettle. I don't drink Nettle Tea as often, so I hope I'm still getting the great benefits. My nape is the area I struggle with the most. One section of my nape is a little longer. Small progress, but I'll take it. Ovation/MT made my hair soo dry. Maybe I'll use up my last bottle while Nettle keeps my hair moisturized. I doubt I'll buy Ovation again.

SKIN
I also noticed that my neck is lightening up some. I used to have dark areas on my neck. Not sure why, because I sure did wash it. I decided to start using bleach cream on it, but I won't have to anymore. YAY!! My face is looking better too. My 2nd round of detox via my face is subsiding.

TONGUE
My tongue is also redder than what it used to be. This is HUGE for me because it was always so ashy salmon looking. I use a tongue scraper, so the ashy color was an insight to how low my blood levels were. "Go CHL...it's your birthday!"

WEIGHT
I'm back to my 3 mile speed walks and I can tell my body is slimming down.


Hmmm... Just had a thought. My nape has always been very short, like a boy's hair, most of my life. I wonder if my low blood levels had anything to do with it not growing so well? I'm just praying that CHL kicks in and fixes all of that.
Off to have my eggshake.

This thread is going to reach 2000 posts this weekend.

I dont know, girl, 2 inches is a lot, hahaha!! But I will def. try. I see what you're saying about the other beneifts it may have. I just tried an egg in my chlorella shake, and it wasn't bad at all. But since I am doing the Ayurvedic rinses with amla, brahmi and shikakai (which Candy C and others are getting over an inch a month with, and some 2); I'm exercising; I'm now doing Nettle (which LD is getting great growth from and others); and I'm doing Chlorella (which LD and Barbie are getting great growht from); and I was doing MT/Ovation... I have decided to wait and see what these things will do in concert with each other before I add one more thing. If the chlorella makes a huge difference, along with the nettle and ayurveda, then I'm stopping there. No more MT/Ovation unless I need spot treatment or a protein treatment, and I won't be adding anything else if I dont have to.

These things, the tea rinses and ayurveda are very easy, and drinking tea everyday after my chlorella intake is very easy as well. With the egg shake, it says to wait 2 hrs after you eat, and that would be a little inconvenient. So trying to keep it simple, I'll see what happens and report my results... Keep us updated with yours as well..

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have made my own Naked Juice Green machine.

What you Need:

1. Dole Pineapple Mango Juice- Comes in a can
2. Welch's White Grape Pomegranite Juice
3. Apple Juice
4. Chlorella- I use 6g

If you are a Spirinella user, I don't know how to spell it, you may add that too

I use the actual green machine bottle to do this. I consider this my own version of green machine, #1 because Naked juice is expensive, and #2 it tastes delicious and very close to the actual recipe although the fruits are a little different. Just try it So....

Directions:

• Fill the bottle half way with applejuice
  Put in your Chlorella. I use 6 grams
• Fill the final half 1/4 Pineapple Mango Juice and 1/4 White Grape Pomegranite
• Shake very well and chill!

I use this mixture everyday now sense finding green machine. I just drink it throughout the day and it tastes delicious. I feel healthy, I'm saving money, and NO MORE FARTS!!!! That's the most important. Let me know if any of you try it! I'm pretty much done with the applesauce unless I run out of juice for a second lol.

I'm printing this out and taking it to the store with me !! Thank you!!

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Seems like I'm holding steady at 3 BM's per day. Still taking my aloe until CHL kicks in and does the elimination on it's own. I love it!!

I'm now able to take all 10 g's in one shot of Green Machine.
It also seems like my body is now starting to slim down. YAY!! I'll check hair progress in April.

Question why are you taking out the aloe, it's really good for you and I am trying to get into the habit of using it daily and my father is going to as well. I don't understand why you don't want to use the aloe, I think it and the Chlorella complement each other.

 

[yodie]

AtlantaJJ,

I'm hoping CHL will give me daily elimination vs. having to use Aloe. Right now I won't go unless I take Aloe. I'm in no rush to eliminate. I'll take it as long as necessary. I'd be a happy camper if nature would take it's course and I could eliminate without needing to use a supplement.

I think it's great that everyone is doing so well and we've only just begun. Regardless of if chlorella is being taken in conjunction with other stuff, or by itself, it seems there is a huge improvement in health overall as well as hair. For my part I just eat right, take chlorella and nettle. I know some are doing the egg shake, etc, but it's great to know chlorella is adding to that. I agree with the Keep it simple principle. Chlorella takes no time to take, nettle is just automatically part of my hair washing ritual, drinking tea at night is no big deal, and eating right has just become a way of life for me. I'm hoping everyone else can find things that help simplify their life, whatever they may be.

Yodie, I'm glad the nape is getting longer. I know that somewhere someone posted a tip to braid up your nape to get it to grow. It really does work. Last year, I had some breakage in the nape at the start of the year (from a protein treatment don't get me started), and now my nape is super long. I still keep it braided even when I wear my hair out. I put the little nozzle in there with my tea rinse and make sure it gets into the root of the nape even sometimes when I'm not washing just so it gets extra stimulation and it does work. I know you say one side is a little longer, do you think you place more tea there? If not, you probably just have uneven growth and it'll catch up. I don't think that only external will prevent progress as it is a root stimulator btw. Internal is just an extra boost too.

Thanks everyone for reporting in on your progress and being as consistent as possible (we all have an off day but we get back on the horse so to speak). I can't wait until four months to see our wonderful progress, but I already KNOW it's going to happen. There are very few things I can say that with with confidence as I have so much faith in this super food after all the research. I'm excited to know where we're going, and I am also happy with how far we've gotten so far!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

I trimmed, Im at 1.5 now.

But I drink the waistlength shake daily and for about 2.5 weeks I drank 2 of those per day. I use OCT/MT mix every other night and I bun everyday. I also worked out every day this month and I have been drinking nettle tea for about a week or so, maybe two?

All of these things combined gave me these results. I really challenged myself to eat healthy so that I could create an internal environment for great beauty results. Because my hair grows in a V Im excited that the my hair is longer but Im still inches away from full APL. Im most excited that my complexion has cleared up better than it looked when I was taking Accutane and my eyelashes look fake.

In essence I think the CHL took all my other efforts and made them over the top. In January I was drinking the shake and using OCT/MT and I didn't get near this much growth, maybe about 3/4 of inch. After my first week of CHL I saw measureable growth, maybe 1/3 of inch. I posted that observation on this thread. The CHL and working out really changed the efficacy of all the internal and external efforts I used to improve my hair.

No complaints whether 1.5 or 2 is still great!

Congrats to everyone having great results! Keep up the good work! I KNOW I will!

Amazing info Muse!!

Where did you get your Chlorella with CVE from? ..sorry If I missed it

No problem Lebiya, I take Chlorenergy now. It has CVE but I have only been taking this brand for 3 days now. http://www.bestchlorella.com/

I got mine locally at the Vitamin Shoppe, the guy there said he'd never seen it before so I guess they just got it in. Also I found plenty of places online that sell it. Just google it and a bunch of online places will pop up. The Chlorenergy company is very knowledgeable about this stuff. I emailed them about specific strains of chlorella and got a very knowledgeable reply from the founder and president who is also a doctor of Naturopathy of the company(not some hack who works in marketing).

Two questions Muse

1. CGF?


I didn't see a mention of the CGF. What did the guy say when you emailed him? I know all chlorella has it in there, what did he say?

This product sounds interesting and wanted to make sure I got all the info. Oh and forgot to ask about 2. powder, do they make a powder also?

 

[CurlyMoo]

I am close to running out of CHL and it's been less than a month. I have the SN 16oz powder. I am taking 9grams a day and my niece is taking 1-2 tsp a day. I'm thinking of getting the Jarrow brand that has 2.20 pounds of CHL powder so that it will last longer than a month. Jarrow brand users how are you doing with yours? What results are you seeing?

Funny you should ask this question LD. I just got done sending him another email that asked him to explain his views on Yaeyama chlorella specifically and the CGF. The fist question I asked was related to the specific CK strain they use and different names given to this strain in several different sources confused me but he assured me they were the same.

But in the PDF that I post it almost sounds like CVE and CGF are the same thing:

The main attention has been to identify a mixture of nucleic acids, peptides and enzymes, obtained by the extraction of Chlorella cells by hot or cold water. This mixture in the medical literature is also designated as the “Chlorella Growth Factor”. The mixture or extract, as well as some of the single components isolated from the extract, show distinct health modulating effects mostly regarding the immune system.

The thing is I have not been able to find out what what species or strain Yaeyama chlorella is. I know it's named after the island that it's grown on but that's about it. I guess I should at least try emailing SN but their last reply to my question about a more inclusive list of vits and mins was shot downIt could end up being the same thing as Cholorenergy. Hopefully when Mr. Uyama replies he will shed some light on things. Meanwhile I will ask SN if they know.

Unfortunately Cholrenergy does not make a powder (when he replies I will ask him if they are considering). The downside to this product is cost. It rivals Sun chlorella in quantity and price. Which can get pretty expensive.

I still plan on finishing off my SN powder but what I find in my research of the 2 will determine which one I stick with for good.

Hi LD,

My nape is too short to braid. Only sometimes can I catch it to run a hot comb through it.

About to have some nettle tea. I'll put some nettle in a bottle and apply directly to my scalp. I was spritzing, but maybe directly to the scalp is better.

Okay, thanks.

 

[yodie]

Muse,

Is Chlorenergy better than Sun or Source Naturals? I know you're still doing research. I'm asking because the price is up there like you said.

Let us know what you find out.

Spritzing is good to. I used to do that. Now I use a bottle with a nozzle as I can get it directly on the scalp. Whereas spritzing will get mostly on the hair. I just want to make sure you concentrate on getting it where it can do the most good. it's good to see that it is working for you though. Those little bottles are really cheap.

Hey Yodie,

Not sure if it's better yet but according to a book that I read most studies are done with chlorella vulgaris with chlorella vulgaris extract (CVE) and more specifically the CK strain. The book says if you are hoping to see stunning results like the studies then you want to use the same type of chlorella.

Sun chlorella uses the species chlorella pyrenoidosa and I don't know what subspecies SN uses for their products. I think Sun is pretty much a no go because I don't think pyrenoidosa has been studied as extensively and they use the pulverization method to open the cell walls which is actually suppose to be a more premative and harmful (to the nutrients) method. I do know that SN uses a top method of craking the cell wall which is one of the reasons I went with that one instead of continuing with Sun. I just need to find out what type of chlorella SN uses.

 

[Muse]

Oh yeah LD, I just went back through the book again and concerning the CGF it said:

"Among chlorella products, there is an extract called CGF. This name comes from chlorella extract research in 1960 that showed the acceleration of cell division and growth when chlorella extract was administered to microorganisms such as lactobacilli and yeast."

So again I'm thinking that maybe CVE and CGF are the same thing just by a different name...Hey if I can get equal results from SN powder then I'm all for it, MUCH cheaper!

 

[yodie]

LD,

Just used the nozzle bottle for my Nettle rinse. Feels better directly on my scalp.
I thought maybe I was seeing things, but my braids are getting longer. I still want to wait until April before I do a length check.

My hair is in great condition. CHL helps and the fact that I'm using more natural products on my hair. WEN works wonders for me!!

Nettle rinses make my hair super soft. I'm so proud of my hair and I feel like I've only just begun my journey. YAY!! YAY!! and YAY!!

AtlantaJJ, Girl, you better work 47!

Yodie, how are you doing your Nettle rinses? I have been drinking the tea all week. Are you just brewing the nettle from a tea bag and then pouring over your hair?

 

[yodie]

Yodie, how are you doing your Nettle rinses? I have been drinking the tea all week. Are you just brewing the nettle from a tea bag and then pouring over your hair?

I have a cute teapot that I love. So, during the week, I let a Nettle teabag sit in a pot of boiled water. Of course it cools, etc. I add that to my spritz bottle and spritz my twists during the week.

Today I just added some Nettle to a applicator tip bottle and made sure to get my roots.

I also pour some in a cup and rinse all of my hair with it.

I imagine the applicator tip helps get to the scalp and that stimulates the growth, but the Nettle on my hair is fabulous!! It's soooo soft.

You're welcome Trey. Let us know how it works for you. I'll most likely order more Nettle tea next time just because I use alot of it.

After the initial detox are your BM's supposed to get smaller? I was having the HUGEST BM's ever in my life once a day like.... a baby. I know TMI but for real I felt like I was losing an entire baby they were so huge lol! Now they're just small ones again. That supposed to happen?
