How about taking Chlorella?

[AtlantaJJ]

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

Can someone please reference the PDF post threads, I want to share with a couple of friends.

Sorry for the drive by postings, I am getting ready to move an application at work into production, and I am working out in the mornings so that has cut my recreational computer time way down. I am going to call my dad today and do an energy check.

I know my energy is good and this is the time when I would normally be dragging arse just because of the long work hours, and stress at work but I have been getting up and working so far this week in the mornings!! .... I can't wait until the weather warms up. I am going to tear that running trail up.l I have strong hopes that I can get this extra 10 lbs off me without a doubt now. My metabolism is working again. That thing was just about shut down on me. When this project is over I will have some time to concentrate on changing some eating habits.

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.

I appreciate his about the CHL so much!! It's my tummy's conscious!!

Hi Ladies,

As I await "my precious" I realize that I am really afraid of the potential detox symptoms but I am a brave soul so I am willing to put up with a little illness if it is for the greater good. So I found an article that may reiterate some things already said or reinforce confidence in people like me. Here it goes:

Sometimes, but not always, people get sick after starting to eat and live healthy. This is generally due to the body cleansing itself of all the unnatural foreign substances (toxins) that had previously been stored in the body. When a person stops taking in chemicals and toxins and starts eating natural foods, along with more pure water, the body finally has enough energy to start getting rid of all that junk that was previously stored because it didn't have the energy and resources to process and expel it before (the cells were in protection mode instead of growth mode). This cleansing process can sometimes lead to discomfort and/or temporary illness because all those toxins have to be put back into the body's various system's, such as the bloodstream, so they can be moved to places of removal.

It's important to understand that everybody cleanses differently. The degree and extent that a person might detox depends entirely upon the individual person's body. Everybody lives different lifestyles, eats different foods, uses different cleaning and hygiene products, and lives and works in different environments. How many unnatural and foreign substances (toxins) that you individually have stored in your system (in fat cells in particularly), is anybody's guess. However, the more fat that a person has, the more toxins they probably have stored. When the body lacks the proper energy and resources to deal with and expel unnatural foreign substances, those substances are generally stored in fat cells along with water. Thus, fat cells expand, and the person becomes larger. "Fat" is not just "fat" like most people believe. It's very often just the storage of toxins. Unnatural manmade fats (processed/hydrogenated/trans) make us fat, while our cell membranes are literally made of healthy natural fats (phospholipids), and are therefore required by the body/cells for proper functioning.

Some symptoms of detoxing are various body aches, fatigue, headaches, sweating, skin abnormalities, diarrhea/constipation, fevers and negative mentalities. Some people might not even notice any visible differences whatsoever. All a person can do is help the cleansing process along by continuing to drink more PURE CLEAN water and eating more natural foods. It'll pass and you'll feel much healthier afterwards.

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

Yeah I think I need to get another HR Block person. When I brought up the fact that i had all of my medical expenses calculated she made it seem like I didn't qualify for that write off.

I'm gonna save my receipts and see if I get better results next year.

Good Morning Ladies!!!! I am starting my third full week of CHL and my 2nd week was a little rough. On the regular I would have 2 small BM's but I still felt like I was bloated. I upped my grams from 3 grams to 6 grams with spirulina, taking it in the morniing with my green smoothie and at night in apple juice. All last week I had restless nights. CHL does not agree with me at night. I would try to go to sleep (at 2:00 in the am) and wake up every hour, tossing and turning!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!! So I will not be taking it in the evenings.
I have noticed changes in my skin. I have dermatitis under my bottom lip and my skin is clearing up. I also have ezcema on my back, haven't noticed a change yet but last night I made a paste with baking soda, CHL & water and put it on my troubled areas. LOL, WHen you guys said you looked like the HuLk, I understood green, but I did look like the HULK.
My nails are white!!!!! They are never white, they always look dull or off white. They are also hard and growing. I filed them twice last week. Cool!!!! Well this is only my 3rd week and I am looking forward to see what CHL has in store for me. I will say now that I am conscious of the postive effects of CHL, I try to keep constant with my diet and living, i.e, no sodas (ok, down to 3 a week), my green smoothies everyday, small portions, lots of fruit and lots of water. Unfortunantely I haven't lost any weight and I will be happy when I see those results. Sorry ladies, I am rambling.

I think someone posted an article some pages back about auto immune illnesses being helped with chlorella. It's an added plus. I know muse is auto, and so am I withGrave's disease (although a thyroid disease, it is also auto immune and can attack the eyes, in addition to my thyroid being destroyed by radioactive iodine and becoming hypo which I also hope chlorella will help with!), and then I think there are some other's here also fighting auto immune illnesses. I definitely think mariofmagdal is right you are on the right track here. Chlorella has been known to help a huge list of illnesses including cancer. I have my mom on it and she has Lupus (also auto). I wish you the best also!

Luckiest - I was thinking the same thing. My mom has Lupus as well and I am going to guinea pig on myself first and then tell her to get on it. Hopefully it will work for both of us.

Weighed myself this morning - yikes!! I'll check again at the end of this month to see if CHL is really helping me lose weight/fat.

Hi there,

I was thinking the same thing about becoming a guinea pig for my mother. She has lupus and Graves disease (or are they the same). Do you think I should convince her to take it? How long have you been on chlorella and do you do spirulina also? sorry for all the questions, I love my mommy and want to help her.

 

[onelove08]

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?

She is doing ok. I only give her 1 a day. It seems like she is going through a tiny detox. It is cold like but, we are working through it! The energy she has is amazing with it! I think I would start with just giving the family the pills to see how they would react individually.

Thanks for the information HairHustla! I know this thread is huge so it's important to revisit why we're doing this in the first place. As for the fat cell thing, it made me think about why those who are overweight cut down body fat in four months time. No wonder. Our body fat is holding toxins, when they're cleansed, it's easier for them to shrink so to speak. And of course as our body is cleansed, our metabolism increases as our body works more efficiently.

I also appreciate the article's listing of sympoms of cleansing so that others who are considering chlorella can understand why we are so happy about being cleansed of toxins. We're not insane and happy to get fevers, chills, farts, pimples, diarrhea, or constipation (among a whole other host of things) for nothing! We know the rewards of helping our bodies. Thanks again for reminding us why we're doing this and helping others who may have not had the chance to read over the entire thread to understand the "whys" too.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Also I might add Hair hustla's article encourages the drinking of water. Please drink lots of water and/or juice and teas. For water: please used distilled, spring water, or get a filter cause you don't want to give yourself even more toxins while cleansing yourself of others.

Welcome MsCounsel,

I'm glad you purchased Chlorella. Please realize that everyone's hair is being worked on in their bodies on time. Some faster then others as this product also cleanses the body of toxins, provides correct nutrition (including amino acids, vitamins, and minerals) and encourages fast cell renewal (increasing nail growth, hair, etc). I really want to encourage you to stick with it and don't let impatience get in the way! Here's to your health and hair.

Thanks for sharing. Chlorella really works where it needs to first. The weight will come. The article I posted said that for those overweight it reduces body fat and weight within four months. You may have other issues that chlorella is working on first! It will come. Curious as to why baking soda with the CHL? You could just have a paste of lotion and CHL, not sure what the baking soda does. You want it to sink into the body! The lotion trust me, will dry, and not leave any film if that's what you're worried about. You just need to shower it off so that you don't have a greenish tint in the morning!

Weighed myself this morning - yikes!! I'll check again at the end of this month to see if CHL is really helping me lose weight/fat.

If you're gaining, please cut back on the CHL. I read an article and it had reviews about chlorella and this one guy was complaining that he wasn't loosing weight and he gained a little. And they said that he was detoxing too fast and probably taking more than his body could handle. They told him to cut back a little and continue taking the smaller dose. He then started loosing weight and recorded his weight the first second and third month. He lost about 10 pds a month after doing that and only increased his chlorella intake once his body was ready and he was eliminating properly.

I wish I could find it, if I do I'll post it. But we're all individuals so if you're detoxing too fast (and your system is still a little backed up w/o the aloe) maybe a smaller amount of chlorella is needed until it catches up so it can help your body balance itself and lose weight. If you detox too fast, you aren't balanced either and that can throw off your metabolism.

Maybe that's not the case, but I wanted to point that out in case you wanted to try to reduce some chlorella until you're eliminating properly (w/o aloe?) and then increase....just a thought

Hi there,

I was thinking the same thing about becoming a guinea pig for my mother. She has lupus and Graves disease (or are they the same). Do you think I should convince her to take it? How long have you been on chlorella and do you do spirulina also? sorry for all the questions, I love my mommy and want to help her.

You quoted Mscouncil, but that quotes had my info so I am assuming you were asking me, so I'll answer. I only take chlorella as it has lots of stuff that spirulina also has. Lupus and Graves aren't the same but as they're both auto, it makes sense that your mom has both. They are cluster illnesses: meaning that when one is present, docs (or those who KNOW what they're doing) need to keep checking for the others including rheumatiod arthritis because they may pop up later on down the line or already be present (it was in a book I read as I'm just an information geek). Being autoimmune can cause other illnesses that are in the same family to pop up later unfortunately. That's another reason I'm taking chlorella. I want my body to be alkaline so i has the best chance to ward off disease. I get so tired that I wonder what else is happening and I just want to protect myself.

As for your mother: I think it may help her, my mom is enjoying it. She stayed at lower doses than me for a long time, though. She has had lupus for a long time and it is in a progressed systemic stage so I knew her body must be really toxic (with all the medicines she has to take too, that can also build up in your body, so I wanted to make sure she stayed at lower doses so her body could handle it and then build up from there. She is in so much pain you can see it in her face when she just lifts her arms (systemic means it's attacking her organs but she got the go ahead from her doc that it's okay to take chlorella). If you can have her talk to her doctor and be cleared to take it, I don't see a reason why she shouldn't.

I'm not gaining weight. I had not weighed myself in awhile and I was bad over the holidays and when my mom came to visit. I feel like my body is slimming down some, but I'm still not having regular movements on my own. I decided to take 10 g's to cover anemia, constipation, digestion, hair, etc. Maybe I need to lower my dosage to 6 - 8 g's. I don't know quite where I should be with dosage. I want to be able to eliminate without taking aloe.

If you're gaining, please cut back on the CHL. I read an article and it had reviews about chlorella and this one guy was complaining that he wasn't loosing weight and he gained a little. And they said that he was detoxing too fast and probably taking more than his body could handle. They told him to cut back a little and continue taking the smaller dose.

Totally true - My mom is now receiving another full battery of tests because they now believe she has rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks for your information, I continue to look for help for her other than zillion pills she takes. erplexed

Muccopolysaccharides help promote hair growth. This is the active ingredient found in Surge-Hair Revitalizer-Plus 14. This ingredient is found in Spirulina which has the highest amount of protein between Spirulina and Chlorella, and of all other Super Foods. Although they are spoken of hand in hand, they do have different properties. Most who take Spirulina along with Chlorella do so as their main source of protein, as would benefit a vegetarian or anyone scaling back from meat consumption. Happy Hair Growing for those looking for that added hair growth boost.

I take both in equal amounts for now, however, it is suggested that the ratio be 2:1. So 10g Spirulina / 5g Chlorella for example. I plan to fix the ratio once my body is fully adjusted several months from now, if that long.

LD, about the nettle... Do I have to rinse it out of my hair or can I leave it in? And how often do you do the rinse? I will drink the tea daily, but I dont know if I should rinse daily or maybe like twice a week... TIA
