How about taking Chlorella?

[TdotGirl]

Coming in to say it's been 11 days since I last took Chlorella. I switched to another brand, ChlorEssence just to try it out.

I can't remember if anyone mentioned this but, when I went to a health food store, the owner was telling me to mix chlorella, flax seed oil, and hemp seed powder in a smoothie for more energy. I'll try this out when I have time to pick up the rest of the items.

@luckiest destiny: congrats on the improvement in your mom's health, i know that's such a good thing for you and her. I hope she keeps improving!!!

@those who also having sleep problems: I made the mistake and took two chlorella after work the other night and I could not get to sleep for the life of me. I was up practicing braids until 12 & I'm usually in bed no later than 10pm. So, I will have to take my entire dosage in the a.m. to get my sleep at night. I needs my 8 hours!

On another note, my appetite has remained significantly decreased. I have lost 3.6 pounds in one week. I am also doing some other things in combination with the chlorella which includes oil pulling. I am going to stay consistent with this for at least 30-40 days and then will decide If I am a lifer or not.

The last good thing (although I'm a lil embarrased to admit) Chlorella is really helping my cigarette habit. I know this is bad,bad, bad especially since the focus of this is health, but I'm down to only 2 cigarettes a day in one week. By the time the month is over I'm praying to be a non-smoker!! That benefit alone is enough to make me want to testify! The taste of cigarettes is becoming kind of unpleasant when it wasn't before. Yay to my health!!!

Who knew that something as simple as taking chlorella daily would be the jumpstart to a much healthier future for me? I didn't know it, but I'm glad I do now because when you know better, you do better!!!

Just wanted to share how I'm using Nettle. Beside drinking it, I rinse out the DC with it 2x a week, seal, detangle and style. I also use it in a spray bottle to my scalp and hair. Between wash days I just use it as my daily moisturizer and seal with a leave-in con and oil. Sometimes I don't use the leave-in con and just use nettle and castor oil. My hair is so soft and full. My hair is loving this. You may need to strain yours if the tea escapes the bag. My spray bottle got so clogged up that I had to buy a new one.

LD and Moo, what are the measurements you're using? Like I used 4 bags last night for 3 cups of water. Do you use more or less, or what are your ratios? Thanks

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Morning ladies I am the class wimp when it comes to the powder!! It is still making me gag too!! I am purchasing some pills today.. I am also lowering my dose as I feel I am gaining weight as well, and the constipation is still here... Happy chlorella taking ladies!!

Sooner, do you think the weight gain is coming from being backed up?

 

[luckiestdestiny]

LD and Moo, what are the measurements you're using? Like I used 4 bags last night for 3 cups of water. Do you use more or less, or what are your ratios? Thanks

Yall are seriously trying to grow some hair! I use one or two bags at most and just let them steep for a while for more concentrated rinse (if we're talking about for the rinse).

I just keep it simple on me and my wallet.

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Okay so I just got off the phone with my mom (speaker phone. I was actually typing while she talked). Anyways I have to report that my mom lost 9 pounds total (she was just weighed at the doctor's office...she's had to go once a month lately as her test results aren't so great right now and they want to keep an eye on her). That's in about five weeks. But if you realize that my mom has lupus , and that she takes steroids it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE for her to lose weight (and she needs to, those steroids and stuff really made her gain and that's just not good for her joints as she's in pain anyways). I am really happy for her! She credits the chlorella because that's the only thing she's doing differently.

God bless your mom, LD! That is wonderful to hear! I am keeping track of her progress because my aunt has everything your mom has and some of the women in my family also have heart disease and arthritis. Most of them on prednisone and stuff like that...

LOL, no seriously, (laughing at myself) I figured it shouldn't be watered down and not get the full effect.... Hmmm.. maybe that's why my scalp felt initially like it was on FIYAH!!! I had given it a good scritch before my ayurvedic rinse and did this. The cut on my finger was burnin too! LOL! Okay, good, now that I know I can use less, that's really good because I was like how is this gonna last me a few weeks. Thanks gurrrl....


ETA: I was looking at the box and thought, they weren't joking when they named these stinging nettles! LOL... still weak

Just received a Swanson Vitamin's catalog. They have three types of chlorella in tablet form. The one that caught my attention was their chlorella called "Chlorella Growth Factor"

Check it out at www.swansonvitamins.com/chlorellagrowthfactor

Thanks for the information Yodie. You know when I started reading it I instantly thought that this is a really good part of chlorella but not complete. It's great that they extracted more growth factor, but chlorella in general has tons of vitamins minerals and other stuff that the body needs in it's complete form. When I did some nosing around this is what I found on the site. My conclusion is that this would be great as "added chlorella growth factor to speed up hair and nails possibly, but not for cleansing the body or curing ailments. In addition other things in chlorella like amino acids also help to grow hair and the CGF does not have this. So it would be good to like get the one for $14.99 and maybe take one or two a day along with regular chlorella for an added boost. That's IF one wanted to. It's good info for someone who wants that extra kick of CGF but not as an alone supplement:


Swanson: Dr. Kanamori, what is Chlorella Growth Factor and why is it called “Growth Factor”?
Dr. Kanamori: Chlorella Growth Factor is a nucleotide/peptide complex derived from one of the fastest growing single-celled organisms on earth. When cultivated under optimal conditions, a single chlorella cell will multiply into 4 new cells every 20 hours, and it is the Chlorella Growth Factor that is responsible for this tremendous growth.
Swanson: So if one newly cultivated chlorella cell multiplies 4 times in 20 hours, what happens over, say, a two-week period?
Dr. Kanamori: I believe the calculation works out that from a single chlorella cell on Day 1 of cultivation to Day 14, two weeks later, approximately 67,000,000 new cells will have been created.
Swanson: And it is the Chlorella Growth Factor that is responsible for this tremendous growth?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, the CGF promotes this rapid rate of reproduction and growth.
Swanson: Exactly how does Chlorella Growth Factor produce this high rate of cellular reproduction and regeneration?
Dr. Kanamori: CGF appears to enhance RNA/DNA functions responsible for the production of proteins, enzymes and cellular energy, stimulating tissue growth and repair and protecting cells against toxic substances.
Swanson: When you say “tissue repair,” is this how CGF can help humans who take Chlorella Growth Factor in their quest for better health?
Dr. Kanamori: Without question. CGF encourages the rejuvenation of the body’s own RNA/DNA; thus you will look and feel healthier. return to top

Swanson: Would it be safe to say then, that because CGF stimulates cell growth to the extent of 1 cell multiplying to 67 million in 14 days, that Chlorella Growth Factor, when consumed by humans, will greatly help stimulate cellular growth and repair in the human body as well?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, that’s true. Because Chlorella Growth Factor enhances RNA/DNA functions responsible for the production of proteins, enzymes and energy at the cellular level and because many nutritionists believe the production of the body’s nucleic acids (RNA/DNA) declines with age, CGF is an exciting new health product that will help prevent premature aging.
Swanson: As you know, Swanson Health Products has worked closely with Kyoto Chlorella Company for over two years to produce the world’s first Chlorella Growth Factor. To your knowledge is this the first time Chlorella Growth Factor has been isolated and put into an easy-to-take tablet form?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, this is the first time that Chlorella Growth Factor has ever been isolated in a pure powder form and put into a tablet. Swanson: If a person is already taking a chlorella supplement, would you recommend they stop taking it and step up to CGF? Dr. Kanamori: Because both whole chlorella and Chlorella Growth Factor have a different nutritional content and different health benefits, a person will receive maximum health benefits by taking both products, which is what I do on a daily

The CGF is 550 mg. Believe that's close to SN's.

They also have Chlorella and Fermented Turmeric combined.

Thought I'd post.

Just popped in my head, wondering if this will be helpful in addition to regular chlorella for those with illnesses? The more healthy cells are reproduced and regenerated the better for the whole body. I may order one at $14.99 for my mom and I and tell her to take one or two a day along with her chlorella and see if that helps ....hmmmm

LD,

That is so wonderful about your mom! Praise God.

I was thinking the same thing... Maybe to order some and take at least 2 a day in addition to my chlorella. Right now i'm no 9 g, but will take it down to 6 as I hadn't taken it in 3 days and took 9g yesterday and was nauseated like noboyd's business.

Rain that is fabulous news about your weight loss! Too bad about your sleep though. I know that I have had sleep apnea and insomnia for a while and by accident I began to notice I was sleeping better after taking some Omega 3, 6, 9. You can pm me if you need info but I can tell you that it has helped me tremendously and now I can timidly be called a "morning person" whereas before I just wanted to shoot the first person that said anything to me! Good luck to you.

 

[yodie]

Morning ladies. LDestiny, that's great about your mom. Rain of G, I'm praying that you become a non-smoker.

I took 6g's this morning. Think I'll stay here for awhile. Oh, my nails are white.

I keep nettle rinse in my shower. I use it everyday.

 

[belle_reveuse28]

So I'm delivering as promised.. Here are some pics of my CHL face mask. I just mixed 1/2 g of CHL with a dollop of mask (any kind will work) and applied it to my face... Of course I had to make these pics comical. I'm single, we have to entertain ourselves!

I also mixed 1g of CHL with some Jergen's and use that nightly. I added some peppermint oil to it because it does have the faint smell of CHL. My advice is this is something you'd want to wear when you're home for the evening. I worked out and had it on the other day and there was a faint smell of fresh seaweed! LOL! A girl can't smell like nothing from the ocean and keep her rep, knowhutImean! So do this at night when you're sure to shower in the AM.

So this is me Hulkin' it out for beauty! Lawd help me!

EXACTLY! I have never weighed this much in my life until I started taking steroids. It makes you want to eat EVERYTHING. That is why this slimming down and appetite control is so amazing to me because I am still taking what is considered a medium dose of steroids and apparently the chlorella is overpowering those negative side effects. Thanks for updating us on your mom I am happy to hear that.

I just read something about chlorella and yeast(candida) infections and the doc recommeded taking chlorella tabs AND a separate chlorella extract(CGF).

[FONT=Arial, Arial, Helvetica]Take both chlorella extract (CGF) and tablets, the chlorella extract is concentrated source of the immune-enhancing substances that may help activating “yeast killing” macrophages. The tablets contain smaller amounts of CGF, but are rich with chlorella’s fibrous cell walls and chlorophyll that can help hasten removal of toxins. [/FONT]

Thanks Muse! I just wanted to add for those that aren't clicking the article above why Muse mentions the yeast that it roughly says this I'm just pulling a part from the article:
Bacteria, fungi and yeast can start a toxic chain reaction in your body with devastating effects. Invisible to the naked eye, these silent assassins are linked to many health problems that often go misdiagnosed. The late Dr. Bernard Jensen, noted natural authority, believed that “unfriendly” bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses added highly poisonous wastes to the colon and bowel. Left unchecked, they can build up a toxic “pit” in your gut and create serious problems. This toxic buildup can be the root cause of some of the most common health complaints today

[yodie]

Dr. Told me that I have a lot of yeast. Maybe I need to look into this.

My bm was brown today. Shocked. Had 10 g's yesterday and I dropped down to 6g's today.

What does this mean?

Not enough chlorella. Maybe your body just needs more right now. However with your elimination problems, you still should keep it low and work up. It's not like we all have to be green from the beginning.

 

[yodie]

So, that means that 10 isn't enuf and I'm dropping to 6. Guess everything Will adjust in time

 

[ladytee2]

I wonder if I should cut back. I have been taking 6g for about a week and I have not lost any weight. My appetite picked up when I got pms. It wasnt as bad as usual. I did add the spirulina.

 

[VincyLongLocksWanted]

LD,

I was wondering by chance if you came across any other articles regarding CHL and Alzheimer's? I read a little bit about it in the following article: Superfoods For Optimum Health: Chlorella and Spirulina by Mike Adams. I figure "man" will try everything that they can "make" but "what if" there is something natural. My dad was just offically diagnosed with Dementia and based on what I have read he is already at stage 5. This have been a very emotional and trying week for my family.erplexed

He is blessed to have a great daughter like you around him.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

cutting back is only if you're gaining.

Not everyone loses weight right away. You only lose weight if your body needs it (meaning you're overweight). If you're skinny it's highly unlikely as chlorella just balances your body including your metabolism. In addition if you haven't taken chlorella long give it a chance. It took my mom 5 wks to lose 9 pounds. It can take up to 4 months to help balance the body. Some people it's working faster than others and also some are eating well in the first place so it's just adding to it. It won't help if you're eating badly every day, it only adds to help create an environment for weightloss.

I still can't keep up with this thread anymore. I miss when it was like 10 people in here lol! Well anywho,,,,, my questions that didn't get answered was that I've been pre-mixing my Chlorella a day or 2 in advance. I'm wondering if that's ok or if the Chlorella needs to be fresh. I want it to work like it should

 

[AtlantaJJ]

http://www.nutrition2000.com/Chlorella.cfm
Chlorella helps promote cardiovascular health as well as being helpful in fighting cancer. It aids digestion, bad breath, constipation, and is known as a detoxifier of heavy metals. It has been shown to be helpful in the fight against Alzheimer's, Dementia, and ADD.
Chlorella is an alkalizer and helps balance the body's pH. It has an abundance of RNA and DNA that are associated with anti-aging. It also promotes growth in young people and has the capacity to stimulate the healing process in the body and stifle many diseases.

I am so glad I have my dad taking this stuff!! His father died from Alzheimer's! God is good, I didn't even know that but I felt compelled to get my father on to this and he loves it....I can't wait until I tell him about this.

I also feel much more calm and focused these days myself!! I am impressing my friends here at the

Stop it woman. I'm happy others are chiming in.(lol)


Sorry about your question:

I don't believe it matters only a day or two. I wouldn't premix a week of chlorella or anything like that for preserving reasons.

But it is a food, and you could mix foods together until later. I haven't read anything on line saying you couldn't.

Hopefully others can chime in. Muse? Where are ya! Yodie? I know someone has info on premixing if I don't.

Hi Girls,

Just checking in to say:

- i figured out the dose that makes me not farty at work, but just farty in the evenings. I take 2 1g pills in the a.m. before work and then 4-5 g pills at night. (i will be changing to 4-5g of powder at night)

- my nails are growing super fast and are very white

- i haven't noticed any hair growth (at all), but my hair was recently dyed so i'll notice the growth as the color grows out.

- I bought chlorella a few days before discovering this thread, because I read that it was good for anemics and people who are irregular. So far, this bad boy keeps me going like clockwork and I feel strong and energized!

- I didn't realize it, but I did have a detox phase. I didn't get pimples, i got serious lethargia!!! But I'm over it now and am feeling great.

That's my lil update. I'll try to report again in 2-3 weeks with any changes.

I'm so glad this stuff is working for everyone!!!
