How about taking Chlorella?

[yodie]

Alright, I'm going to come out of hiding and say that I just started adding Sun Chlorella to my shakes from the other thread. This is the second day and either I am coming down with a cold or detoxing. If this is detoxing then it is not fun! I feel terrible! I'm taking the Chlorella and the wheat germ shake more for health reasons than hair. I'm going to stick it out but man this is not fun. So far I don't really notice much changes in energy and my skin is certainly not glowing! I will continue until I run out and see where this goes. I am taking a powder form; it comes in packets that measure 3 grams per packet. Is there a special diet that I must adapt when detoxing? Thanks for your help!

I'm sure the other ladies will chime in, but just make sure you get plenty of liquids. I know the detox isn't fun, but it will definitely pass. My mom used to tell me (back in the day) that it cost to be beautiful. So, just think of it as if chlorella is making you even more beautiful inside and out. The detox is the cost.

I know that doesn't help, but it will pass.

Sorry if you shared this, but how is aloe helping? What dose do you use? It seems that since I've been taking chlorella and drinking green juice, I have the gas but not the elimination. I was okay in that dept before I started, though. I just think it's working it's way down. LOL

Aloe is a godsend for me. It definitely helps. Chlorella constipates me even more than what I usually am. Guess that's my detox symptom. I take two aloe pills every night, but you may only need one. I love Nature's Way aloe. No cramping, runny stools. Just nice movements.

Is anyone allowed to get reimbursed for chlorella through their flexible spending account?

No they won't reimburse supplements for me unless they are prescribed

Yodie is right plenty of fluids (preferably good ones) also if you eat a lot of junk, fast, and/or fatty foods cut it out (start out a little at a time-easier that way). There's no point in detoxing if you keep putting more heavy toxins in your body, it will be a never ending cycle.

Does it matter what kind of chlorella you buy?

I picked up the Jarrow tablets yesterday. Is anyone else using these? What have you experienced so far

I'm using theJarrow Yaeyama Chlorella tablets- today makes a week for me and so far, nothing too harsh. slight detox symptoms, still no green bm though. Increased energy and suppressed appetite. I'm in braids, can't speak for the hair growth but i've only been in braids for two weeks and the braids are as loose as if I'd had them for four weeks. I plan on upping my dosage probably tomorrow. I'm currently taking 5 pills a day. I took two when I got home from work today and had a burst of energy (helped me to get the housework done and not to do so much mindless snacking). For a total of seven ( which is 2.8 grams) and I plan on slowly working my way up until I reach goal with the grams. I may double up tomorrow to get the recommended amount and see how it affects me. I said all of this to say that I'm sticking to the bottle of Jarrow's that i bought.

I also opened the capsule and poured the powder into some naked juice- it wasn't bad at all- the naked juice completly masked the taste so I may switch to powder after i'm done with the bottle.... I kinda prefer the pill.

I'm having results with the tablet so I think the only difference between taking the powder vs the pills is the fact that the powder enters the bloodstream quicker (posted earlier by someone a while back),other than a couple of hours tablet users should get the same benefit as powder users, right? I think so but could be wrong. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Happy chlorella'ing!

Isn't there a way for a tax write off? Just curious as you have an illness.

As I'm sitting here reading your piece, I just realized that I just had to make myself eat to take the last chlorella tablet for today. I just started this morning with the tablets. Wow, I guess it is really working faster than I expected.

The reason I ate is because it says to take with meals. Is anyone taking it without eating?

My bottle actually says to take on an empty stomach. I have been taking on an empty stomach in the morning and taking before the rest before bed.

 

[trey21]

I have never been too regular. I go max twice a day. A better BM.

I am still taking ALA. This is my second bottle. Every time I go into the grocery stores, I get these young girls talking to me. I just turned 31, so sometimes I have no clue what they are talking about, I just smile!

Ladies, help me out...what is ALA?

 

[lacying]

Ladies, help me out...what is ALA?

Alpha Lipoic Acid- Its a pill that makes your skin soft and clear. Theres a thread on it in the make up section. HTH

I take mine with food. Mine doesn't specify. Also the sites I research say you can do it whenever. I think it's up to each person.

Hi guys,
My name is Beth, I joined the bandwagon two weeks ago, and i have been 3g of source natural powder everyday. Skipped some days. As usual my p.. is green. Also this may sound weird but i seem to have euphoric dream were i am very happy if i take the powder just before bed. lol. As in like am swimming, i have never smoked weed, but from the explanations i get from people who have smoked weed, thats how i feel in my dreams, as in i wake up smiling and in a good mood, which is weird because i always wake up cranky and need about 30 minutes to catch my thoughts. I dont know if this is my own way of detoxing since this seems to be the only symptoms i am experiencing. I really would like it if there was just a way to get the chlorella growth factor itself without all the other vitamins since i already take suppliments but i guess it doesnt matter since they are in small quantities.
Also, to those wondering if source naturals is the best, i have been taking suppliments for a while and i would like to say that they are some of the most reputable companies out there when it comes to suppliments. There have been situations, were people were taking a certain herb from a different manufacturer, but when they switched to source naturals they started seeing results. So from personal experience i would recommend them.

Thank you Jaxhair for the welcome

Welcome Zyra:

If you aren't getting bad detox symptoms feel free to increase your dose. As for energy, I didn't feel the increase until the around three weeks, and even then it's only a little. I'm just happy because I usually have so little energy from Grave's Disease going hypo (radioactive iodine). Anyways I walk around feeling like a zombie all day most of the time (energy wise) and for once I felt slightly better. So you may, if you have an energy deficit you may only get a slight boost later on down the line. Don't give up. It took the docs 2 years to find out what's going on with me, almost three, and they kept telling me it was in my head until then. I kept beating myself up and then finally I found out I was ill. I hope you're not, but if something is going on, you shouldn't give up. I know someone with chronic fatigue and that isn't easty to diagnose. Either way I hope chlorella helps to balance your system.

Well, I've been on 6g since February 26th and still have no detox symptoms. The second night though I did feel really queasy, but it only lasted for an hour and then I was fine. I'll stick with 6g for a couple of weeks and if I still don't have any detox symptoms, I'll up the dose again.

Also, how were they able to get a diagnosis for you? The doctors that I have been to have told me that everything is fine with me, but I just feel like there's something going on in my body that is not right. No matter what I do or how much sleep I get, I am constantly tired and at times have difficulty concentrating. Is there any specific tests that I should ask for? You can pm me if you prefer.

Sorry for going off topic. I'll update my progress with Chlorella as the time goes on. Hopefully I get similiar results from those who have seen great progress with it.

Hey Neemo,

There are a several posters using these. Hopefully they can chime in. It is yaeyama chlorella which is one of the recommended kinds.

whos taking spirulina too?

Any Hair growth yet ladies???

I am taking equal amounts of Spirulina and Chlorella. I also take 100mg of liquid Chlorophyll

How is your daughter handling it? I know I used some green vibrance in juice and gave some to my daughter. Overnight, she woke up saying her head was hurting. I don't know if it had something to do with the detoxing feature or if it was just a coincedence.

I was also wondering about putting the powder in foods, like spaghetti sauce or ground turkey, just to get some added benefit. Does this seem far fetched?

In some of the readings its been said people buy the powder generally to cook with.
I ordered a Earthrise Cookbook. My daughter is five and after 4 days she is detoxing with flu symptoms, thanks to the snow, she will not miss any school. Also, she is tired all the time, but it will pass. We are gonna ride it out.

Okay I purchased the Jarrow Yaeyama tablets and have taken the recommended dose yesterday and today. I am joining you guys!!!

Am I supposed to be taking any other supplements with this? I am currently taking Biotin, MSM powder and a liquid multi?

 

[luckiestdestiny]

I think I should add this. As I mentioned this weekend I went to see Slumdog Millionaire (I will be buying this movie when it comes out btw as it is sooo good, and I don't buy movies unless they're amazing. If you like Independent movies please go see it!)...anyways that night I had a tiny bit of popcorn at the movie theatre. Later that night I went to this fondue place with my boyfriend and we had a meal rich in cheese, butter, for dinner, and later we had the chocolate fondue plate with: dark fondue chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel fondue for dessert. It had marshmallows to dip, strawberries, bannana bread, and gram crackers so you could make smores. They even brought out this little fire thing that you could take the marshmallows and place over it to melt them, then dip them in the fondue and onto the graham crackers. It was delish, I only ate a little of each meal because of chlorella. I got full super fast.


I must add though when I got home boy did my stomach tear up. I think it was all the richness of the meal meeting the chlorella. It was just too much! Gas like you wouldn't believe. Chlorella will kick your bootay if you eat really badly (even if it tastes so good). It's okay with me though because I've lost so much weight (and counting). I usually don't have a desire for those items and even after I took a bite of each and it was good, I filled up really fast. Chlorella is some amazing stuff and I'm not complaining in the least.

It's kinda like a best friend telling you what's good for you and what to only have a little of, and yet you're not mad in the end.

You can continue with your other supplements, its totally up to you. I have read where some discontinue their use while others continue. For me, I am dropping most of them and keeping a select few.

 

[Blaque*Angel]

Is anybody taking ALA with the CHL? Have any of you tried to apply the CHL directly to their face, particularly if you have acne? I know LD tried it on her hand and it is improving the scar, so I'm wondering if it wouldn't be an option for my never-ending acne....

i'm taking ALA too but when my three bottles have finished i will not be repurchasing Chlorella for life

 

[Blaque*Angel]

I'm still having 3 BM's a day. Is that normal? I'm still taking aloe to push everything out. I've spent so many years being backed up. YUCK!! To think all that was just sitting there and rotting inside of me. No wonder I had bad elimination. That toxic buildup probably shut everything down.

Is anyone else going 3 or more times a day?

Maybe my system is doing a heavy duty cleaning and will adjust itself.
No complaints on my end. It just feels good to gooooo.

i'm having 3-4 per day and not even eating much. just three (small)meals a day

 

[Blaque*Angel]

I only took one bottle of ALA, but I think the egg shake had already made a difference in my skin. I decided not to purchase again, because I think CHL will do the rest. I'm trying to eliminate as many supplements as I can.

I'm applying a topical version of CHL to my skin, so we'll see how that goes.

this is me too ALA was great but Chlorella is truthfully greater!

 

[Blaque*Angel]

i'm adding spirulina starting from today

Whaaat? What's that I hear? The first declaration for life? Okay I'll put mine out there too:

CHLORELLA FOR LIFE!!!!!

 

[Blaque*Angel]

Whaaat? What's that I hear? The first declaration for life? Okay I'll put mine out there too:

CHLORELLA FOR LIFE!!!!!

its definitely for life for me
i have not felt so good in a few years
it is improving my health dramatically.

i have put my mom , two sisters and brother in law on it, i will report their progress as and when they tell me.

my mom says my grandma used to give her batches of it and we took it as children. (thats why the smell//taste was so familiar to me)

i asked why she ever stopped giving it to us but she had no valid reason.

just think how my health would've been if we were given this for all those missing years!!!

i will let my babies take this in a few years time

 

[Blaque*Angel]

i want to send all the pdf's to my brother in law but cannot scroll through all those pages again, i have one downloaded on my desk top but it wont let me copy n paste
