How about taking Chlorella?

[soonergirl]

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?

Just sounds like you were pretty backed up girl... I was reading my oxygen magazine (my favorite fitness mag) and it said that because of lack of fiber you can lose a significant amount of weight just by getting regular..This was touting fiber, but we know another secret right... You now have a "clean" house... Mine is still a little cluttered...

LOL! TMI but I feel kinda sad that I'm not having them anymore...... I felt like something was happening! Now the new ones don't seem to "measure" up lol. Kinda disappointing. Who knew I'd ever talk about a BM like this?

This is insane! Thank you Though!

I have now read nearly all 200+ pages and I put in an order while reading from iherb and its the middle of the night around 2:30 in the morning and I want to go to bed but can't because of this thread! I can't even get up to eat, my stomach is growling and everything! Count me in ladies! I live overseas so it will take about a week or so to get my source naturals brand but I definitely will be in there with you all. This seems to be just what I need as I am starting a new fitness and diet/health regimen. I know that I am rambling on but I have to tell you all that my husband is deployed and will be back in July so I really wanted to ramp up my figure and hair and all to surprise him and I just generally want to bring sexy back so thank you so much for this and I will be reporting in as soon as I can. You ladies quit posting so I can get my rest!

My dad told me he had all kinds of crazy energy last week. He didn't have to have his usual afternoon naps, he has all kind of get up and go!! He's taking like 30 tabs of the SN per day now and he's going to up his dose. He loves the stuff, says it tastes like dirt!

Let's all bring sexier back, because we're already sexy! You know I'm speaking the truth.

I know exactly what you mean. I was a little worried that maybe it wasn't all coming out because they are pretty small compared to what I use to get. I even took an herbal laxative a few days ago even though I go everyday because I wanted to make sure it was all coming out. Well I didn't get much with the laxative. I'm starting to think that this is the way it's suppose to be once you're regular. Maybe we aren't suppose to have monster BMs but many of us did because we were irregular and didn't even know it.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

I just received my Chlorella in the mail today!!!!! I'm so excited


Does anyone have any more weight loss or hair growth updates???

Hey Beyond Blessed if you scroll back even a few pages you should see lots of stuff that should make you excited. Congrats on receiving your chlorella.

I totally agree!!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

LD, can you tell me how I should braid up my nape? I have the same prob sometimes...

Thanks.

I just do a horizonatl tiny corn row. As the ends get longer, just tuck it under the braid and spray away (with nettle or braid spray to keep it soft)I also use nettle at the root of it alot to encourage hair growth.

QUICK QUESTION: When the body becomes accustomed to the chlorella, is it okay to up the dosage ?(i have the pill)... I think I read somewhere (like 100 pages back) that it was okay to do this. Just wanted to make sure. Currently, I take 5 pills in the a.m and want to start taking an additional pill or two in the afternoon when i get home from work.

thanks!

There are people here taking up to 12 or more grams of chlorella so you can up your dose safely as it is a super food. Don't go crazy. Slowly increase until you get to your goal. There's a post about the suggested amounts waaaay back in the thread about 1/3rd of the way through..

You guys are cracking me up because it's true. I had a few baby BM's, meaning they were huge like I gave birth and now they're tiny. I think that we removed all the gunk in our intestines! But that's just my thought on the subject. Now I'm just regular too.

See yall later off to see SlumDog Millionaire with my Boyfriend. Hope it's as good as everyone says. Good night Chlorella Party!

oooooooh share the email

Ok here ya go:

1st email:

Hi,

I purchased a box of your chlorella and on the back it says that the chlorella is CK-5 strain which I understand to mean Chlorella Kougyo-5. On your website it says that you use the Chikugo strain. Which one is correct?

Thank you

Thank you for your purchase from a store (?).......

Those two are exactly same each other. I use CK-5 Strain for Chloenergy (Chikugo-kabu from Chlorella Industry Co., Ltd.). I am having them make Chlorenergy for us for many years now for the U.S. market and other countires. Chikugo is an area in Kyshu, Japan. CK stands for Chikugo in short.

Thank you, and if you have any question, please feel free to ask us.

2nd email:

Mr. Uyama,

Thank you so much for you very knowledgeable and prompt reply. I purchased my box of Chlorenergy from my local Vitamin Shoppe after reading a book by Dr. Toshihiro Kanno where he stated chlorella vulgaris specifically the CK strain is the most effective. Your product is the only one that I could find with CVE and using the CK strain. Previously I was using Yaeyama chlorella because it has the Chlorella Growth Factor but I don't know what species of chlorella or strain it is. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on Yaeyama chlorella? If so I would love to hear them.

Thank you so much!


Thank you for your purchase of Chlorenergy at a Vitamin Shoppe. May I ask at which Vitamin Shoppe you did buy ?

Yaeyama is of vulgaris as well, that is why, when I met Yaeyama's president at shows, they are appreciative of them using Chlorenergy's (CK-5) research/studies as if it was done on their own product. In reality, they don't have research/studies on their product(s), maybe just a few research. We don't know how they culture their chlorella and how they name theirs. CK-5 is strictly for Chlorenergy (back in Japan, Chlorella Industry-my manufacturing partner--is selling under different names-such as Chlorella King, Grosmin, or Chloreelamin. Here as Chlorenergy. Again, there is no other chlorella supported by more than 500 cases of research/studies, except for Chlorenergy, over 45 years since 1964. Chlorenergy is the very first chlorella came out in form of a mass production. In that Dr. Kanno's book, 98% is reffered to CK-5's research, and some very few are on CK-22 which is also of Chlorella Industry. Therefore, we have decided to call just Chikugo-strain or CK-strain rather than separating CK-5 from CK-22 which are of the same family.

Thank you, and have a nice weekend !

3rd email (just sent so I haven't gotten a response yet):

Mr. Uyama,
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
I purchased my Chlorenergy from the Vitamin Shoppe(that's the name of the store) in Ann Arbor, MI. The sales man said that they had just gotten it in and I was so grateful to see that I could buy it locally. I am sorry for asking so many questions but myself and a bunch of women on an online message board have just started taking chlorella. We are all new to this and we want the best and most effective brand so I pass on the information you give me to them so we can make better purchases. Just two more questions please (I promise, lol ): 1. Is CVE and CGF the same thing but just different names? 2. Will your company ever make powdered chlorella?

Thank you so much for your patience!


He is very nice and responds the same day (even on the weekends-I sent the first on late Friday night and he responded by Saturday morning!) I haven't had this quick a response since I use to email Victor Sabino (Moisture Block creator) with hoards of questions!

It is good to see that Yaeyama is vulgaris species that makes me feel better. Also the one thing that the strain (CK-is the strain) determines is the thickness of the cell wall, the thinner the better so I've heard even if the cell walls are broken. I don't think I can get this info from Source Naturals because they are just one of many distributors so I will see if I can make contact with the Yaeyama parent company. I can say this though obviously whatever strain they are using is working because of the wonderful results being reported, I just want to make sure we are getting the BEST. I wiil report back with anymore info.

Thanks... I don't want to go that far back in the thread, but I guess I will anyway . I haven't reported my results yet, so here are mine as of today:

weight: the scale hasn't moved yet (only been a week or so) but I have increased energy and little to no appetite - which is a good thing for me. The cravings for water and green things (salad and more salad) are constant.

hair: i can't really tell, my hair is in braids right now. But, they are much looser at the root than they normally would be by now - so I'm assuming it's growing.

detox: I haven't experienced any detox symptoms yet which is why I think i need to up my dosage. the bm have been somewhat regular but not easy if you know what i mean so I hope that changes....


Til next time- have fun ya'll!!

LOL, lucky you. My bf just bought me a videogame and went to the bar with his buddies. I can tell you this Street Fighter 4 game sucks when you have to play it alone

I do want to see that so give us a thumbs up or down tomorrow. Have fun!

LD, I've done the little braid on my nape. Thanks so much! I know this will work...
______________________________________________________________________


Update:

For those who want to know about using this in lotions and creams. I stated earlier that I added 3 grams of CHL to my Jergen's firming body lotion and was using on my stomach and chest where I had severe cracking and burning from eczema. It has healed rather nicely and my skin is smooth and pain free, which usually isn't hte case. Sometimes I can't sleep well from all the scratching and discomfort I often get, and must also sleep without PJ's because they also irritate. I can't get over how smooth and healed and painfree my skin is right now. I'ts just amazing.. .. Just thought you all should know.... I'm excited and looking forward to using this daily.

Cool i never heard of this before!

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Your dad sounds gawgeous everytime you talk about him in relation to CHL. Tell dad he's an honorary member of this thread and we're sooo proud of him.

I will tell him that, I'll never ever forget the day that he told me his poop was green!! hahahaha and he was happy about it.

He takes the "CHL" 3 times per day with every meal. That helps him to remember, so he's splitting his dose out through the day which I believe is a good idea. I wan the CHL floating through my system at all hours if possible. I'm going to start taking a small dose at bedtime. When I remember to do that, I have great stamina the next day. The body works on rebuilding itself at night. I think a nighttime dose can really help with that process. That's my theory.

I washed my hair last night and fell in love! My hair is so soft but strong, so springy and dare I say it was shinny with no product at all!

I will take a picture of it before I braid it up next wash. My pig tails are getting thicker, and I have all kinds of curly new growth around my edges. Those little curlies don't want to lay down they are like pretty little springs. I don't even really need a comb to detangle either, my hair is very soft.

I am trying to get on the nettle tea kick. I only remember to drink it on wash night once per week because I make my spritz. How can I get the tea habit going? Perhaps if I spritz my hair daily that will make me make more tea....:scratchch I'm trying to get a new good habit to stick.


The old dog new trick routine...:scratchch

I need to try this for my fingers, that's the place where my eczema shows up. It is greatly improved with the flax and the CHL internal, I need something topical. I am also going to make a mask this morning with clay mixed with a little of the CHL today, since I'm breaking out, it will help my skin heal. I'll report back my results.

Hey there,

I ordered 2 of the Source Naturals, Yaeyama Chlorella, and one of the tablet form plus some berry flavored garden greens juice and the shipping was free which is not bad at all. I looove iherb because they get the stuff to ya! Usually it takes anywhere from 4 days to a wk to get my order from them. Glad to see somebody with me over the water!
