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

How do I get my 11 year old on the CHL. ??? :scratchch

My kids saw that green powder and were like ewww, No way mom. And my kids take vitamins everyday. My six year old likes candy so much I had him on a probiotic at one time. He begs for his vitamins. This morning as I was explaining what chlorella was he was like just pass me my gummies. I dont want that green stuff .[/quote]


Give them the tablets. No way are they going to take the powder unless you can hide it in a drink. they need less anyways so the tablets will last a long time with them and start them out on the right path. At 11 I'd give them 1 or 2 gms at the most...smaller kids I woudn't even give a gram but it will help their system as they get older and keep their bodies alkaline and hopefully disease free and healthy!

I can't sleep!

Welcome to the club! I kept on waking up in and out of sleep every hour tossing and turning. The past two nights have been restless and I have mini migranes all day....

I'll give him a couple of quarters to try it...he'll do it for money then I'll tell him why and he'll likely take them on his own (he's on a health kick)... he can take 6 tabs a day and work up to 12 - 15, that would be perfect for his lil' self.

I'll give it a try.

All chlorella promotes regeneration that can lead to hair growth. How fast will depend on our body. I hope you have the patience necessary to see the full benefits. I only bring this up because it's a whole food and each person's body processes it differently. That said: I checked it out. It looks good. I am one to take yaeyama chlorella, but I noticed this one is Japanese certified. The only one to stay away is chinese chlorella so it seems that you are set to go. I even see it list the CGF which is so important for chlorella! Congrats on starting chlorella please check in when you get it!

Hey Ebony, I havent' seen this one. We took a poll and If I were you, I'd go with one of the brands that are most popular and that others are getting great results with. Source Naturals, Earth Rise, Jarrows and Sun Chlorella are the most popular brands where there has been abundant available research on the efficacy, absorption rates, type of chlorella, etc. These brands are all Japanese Yaeyama Chlorella, which is the type of Chlorella you want. More than enough people are using these brands which would be able to tellyou how well they are doing. I am using Source Naturals and its working very well. I'd go with that one. You can get it from Amazon for $28 adn Vitacost for $30. Also, you can take this alone as your only supplement as it has all of the vitamins and minerals one pretty much needs. I have to admit though, you're going to have to spend some time perusing the posts because it's just way too much info for me to retype here. There's a lot to know, especially ways to use it or easiest ways to ingest, and detox systems and what to do... HTH

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Everyone please feel free to ask questions if you can't find it in your search through the thread. I realize it's getting long. I even had a pm suggestion to start another thread. My fear with that is that it will get confusing as to which thread to report back to and dissuade us from progress reports and having one centralized place to go to. I'm all about simplifying. I am happy there is so much interest, but I don't want others to feel overwhelmed with the size.

thanks.

 

[soonergirl]

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

Yeah that and I am still craving junk!!! Bought some jarrow brand chlorella pills today so I will add these and I got some aloe pills... Congrats to all of those that are seeing changes in the health of themselves and the health of their family members... This is a blessing...

Hey Ld, I was thinking, maybe we can put together an informational intro for people on the first post. I'd be willing to help you. We could hit some basic bullets on brands, dosage, suggestions on how to take, when to take, the expected amt of time to see progress, detox symptoms, and whatever you can think of. On some of the other long wagons on the forum, the OP did this and it helped so that she didn't get as many PMs, or people who are overwhelmed with the amt of pages but want to join. Id be willing to write some quick bullets on brands, the importance of CGF, when to take, with what or how, and if you want to address the others. I'll PM them to you adn then you can edit the first post and add this info. Let me know what you think...

 

[MsCounsel]

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.

Oh Please.... I AM IN LOVE ALREADY!!!!! No worries but thanks. I mentioned my hair but I have for the last year read about the health benefits of superfoods. I am using this for overall body health. I used to drink Odwalla drinks so that I could obtain some of the benefits but way too many carbs.

Anywhoo. I wanted to report back. Now last week I started taking Coconut oil internally as a detox. I started Chlorella on TUESDAY evening. TOM is also visiting me. Usually during this time, I am extremely sluggish and tired no matter how much sleep I am able to get. Well, yesterday, I noticed that I had energy all day. In fact, when I got home, I did laundry, worked out, fried fish, and made lunch for today. I had crazy energy. I am so excited. Any hair benes will be an added bonus. I am thrilled. I am reasonably healthy but I have asthma and severe allergies. I take supplements and have never felt this great. I pushed aside all of my vitamins and will take them only on the weekend since I leave the chlorella at work. I will continue to take it along with coconut oil and spirulina.

This is a great journey. I wish everyone luck....

This sounds good. Would we put the info in a separate thread to refer people to read, or would we just pm the info to others as a guide? Let me know and just pm me what info you come up with and I'll add my two cents. Anyone else want to chime in please do so!

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

This thread is way too long to read/keep up with. Anyway, I got my green powder today. I plan to mix it with green smoothies. I expect to receive my chlorella capsules very soon.

Actually, you can put it at the very first post of this thread which still should be editable, but only you can do it since you were the OP. I wrote a small intro to the info I submitted to you. So basically, make a line under your first post (hit edit first), and then copy and paste the info, add what you want adn then hit save. That way, when people come to this thread, there will be the introductory info right there. You can also say something about what other questions they may have at that point can be found in the thread. People are still going to have to read, cause you just can't get away with not doing so. But at least the intro will give them a guide on how to get started... I tried to hit the major points, but I think I didn't include what results people are getting, and how long to wait before you see real changes, I think you said 4 months. I'm sure you'll see waht's missing. What do you think?

Oh, please don't start a new thread. I feared as this thread gets bigger that the requests would come. I like the idea of adding the pertinent information to the first post. If the first post get's too full maybe you can also add to your other posts on the first page. This is my default thread, the first place I come to when I enter the site.

 

[Candycane044]

LD I'm so happy to hear about your mom! As far as my check-in, I still don't crave sweets and I haven't been eating as much. My energy is still SO high everyday, and I have not needed naps as mentioned before. My skin is starting to look wonderful and I have had acne and scars from acne most of my life. I've been looking in the mirror in disbelief about how great my skin looks. I will post pictures in a few more weeks.

My hair is definitely getting thicker, however I've noticed that my nails are not as hard as they were before. I'm thinking maybe I should up my dosage, I'm still taking a little more than 3g. My BM are still green but I want my nails to be harder again.

I too like this idea. I think that the first post should be edited. And thank you ladies (belle and LD) for volunteering to do this!

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.

Does your mum work out at all? I'm thinking that CHL and exercise are the perfect companion.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Yeah if the constipation is there still, you're too high. Also try lowering your juice intake or making it into a spritzer by adding water (still lowering the juice content). I've noticed that people have been drinking huge amounts of juice (not you just in general) and that's just waaaay too much sugar. If you're juicing it's different because you can control the sugar content by adding one fruit to some green veggies to cut the flavor. But for those buying straight juice there's a need to think it's juice so it must be good. Even w/o added sugar, juice is only good in moderation because that 8 0z juice has at least 2 pieces of fruit in it, and if you're drinking more, it's like you've had 4 or 6 pieces of fruit in a day or even more! Fruit and veggies are good, but fruit must be had in moderation. Up the veggies, lower the fruit a little HTH!

Very interesting, I just noticed this while going back to catch posts I missed. This could be my problem with constipation. I add too much juice. I have been adding water to my CHL juice lately because I wanted to loosen the smoothy.

UPDATE:

My nails look like I have french tips.

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.

Doh! I use all the bags I have been saving which at this point is 20 tea bags and add them to 3-4 cups of water and set to low heat. I'm still getting dark Nettle smelling tea out of it. I save whatever I don't use in the refrigerator for daily moisturizing. My braidouts have never be this soft and supple. It's almost like touching my little nieces hair but much thicker.

Welcome to all the new ladies!

I got my Earthrise Cookbook in the mail today. I have only skimmed it, and there are recipes for alcoholic beverages. ( I remember someone asking) So far I have learned when cooking or mixing, the green powder should be the last item you put in. It is fine heated, but just like other foods, they loose their nutrients the longer they cook. I will post more findings as I go through it a little more.

LD, great news about your mom , much continued success to her.

My 8 and 5 yr olds are loving being green. They each take (5) 200mg tiny pills per day. They race each other swallowing. So far, my son no symptoms, my daughter had a fever and tummy bubbles and a bit of fatigue. She is great today. Right now she is at the YMCA working off the extra energy. My six yr old still has difficulty swallowing pills and he does not want to chew them. So he does the bolthouse farms drinks.

My husband and 18 year old son are yet another story. They do not like the color green I suppose, they want no part of it, but I am not giving up on them. I will keep working until I win.

Enjoy all the heathly benefits of being GREEN ladies! Have a great evening.

 

[Whimsy]

Thanks Whimsy. How long have you been taking it (I know when you bought it, but when you're started it)?

Um, I think it was 3 or 4 weeks?

Is anyone taking the Vitamin Shoppe Super Chlorella brand and having good results in either hair growth, weight loss or just overall health? I bought this brand and want to make sure its as good as the others...

 

[trey21]

Give them the tablets. No way are they going to take the powder unless you can hide it in a drink. they need less anyways so the tablets will last a long time with them and start them out on the right path. At 11 I'd give them 1 or 2 gms at the most...smaller kids I woudn't even give a gram but it will help their system as they get older and keep their bodies alkaline and hopefully disease free and healthy!

I'll give him a couple of quarters to try it...he'll do it for money then I'll tell him why and he'll likely take them on his own (he's on a health kick)... he can take 6 tabs a day and work up to 12 - 15, that would be perfect for his lil' self.

I'll give it a try.[/QUOTE]
Once I told showed my kids on the website that chlorella promotes growth in children, they were willing to take it in any form. Right now they are taking the pills but they love the naked juice and bolthouse farms and want to try the powder mixed with those. I'll probably incorporate it by making some fruit smooties for the family this weekend. My husband and I are up to 9 grams (he won't touch the powder) and the kids (ages 12 and 15) are taking 2 grams each. So far I am the only one with detox symptoms. I actually stayed home today...flu like symptoms. Hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow.
