How about taking Chlorella?

[IndianAngel22]

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.

Please don't close the thread or change it. I was one of the people who complained but not about the size of this thread, but about how many people are on it. If you switch threads and everyone goes to the new one it's going to be the same thing. I just need to check in more often so as not to get lost. An when you start switching threads it gets confusing unless you close the final one 100%, and then it becomes people just asking the same questions over and over again. I mean it's your choice sense it's your thread but it's just so many people interested in Chlorella now, that's what's making the thread so hard to keep up with, and that's a big accomplishment

I promised myself I would read this entire thread before posting because I'm so hooked on what is going on here and I want know everything! I did it! I did it!

I am so jealous of those who started out with this in January...the "LHCF Pioneers" if you will. Why? Because you are a true example of passion and determination that I strive for in my life. Here some of you are with detox symptoms that are truly unpleasant, yet you are pushing on. Here you are with no "hair progress pics" yet you believe in your heart that you are on the verge of something amazing (you are right my friends). LHCF has not yet seen the type of results that will follow and I am on board all the way.

I was told a long time ago that I should take chlorella and spirulina. Why? Because I have a pinched nerve and the pain is awful at times. I was told that this ailment is caused by toxic metals in the body. I tried it a long time ago at a very low dosage and just stopped taking it for some reason. Fast forward years later, I get addicted to a site called LHCF because I want to take better care of my hair. Then a thread shows up called How about taking Chlorella. It was divine intervention. You have opened my eyes and I am happy to report that I have gone green for real this time and I am all about Chlorella for life.

I am taking Source Naturals pills right now, but the powder is ordered and should be here any day from Vitacost. I am taking 5g and am planning to increase to maybe 9g or more since I (like LuckyD) have thyroid disease (I also had radiated iodine treatments) and I will be on medication for life. I have not had many detox symptoms and I have only been on it since March 1. I did have a dry patch of skin just under my left chin. And BMs didn't happen until today. It wasn't green though (I don't think). I added spirulina 2 days ago and wow my energy level went up!

Y'all I feel so good. My dreams are so wonderful. I can cope with bad situations/moods better now because I just have this undescribable feeling of well-being. I am single and sometimes I feel lonely, but for some reason now, I think things will be okay. My outlook is different. The only thing that has changed is the Chlorella/Spirulina. I am happy to report that in only a few days, my back and neck pain from a pinched nerve is down to a small pull...no pain at all just a little catch that I am hoping goes away with time. I know something good is going on inside and I am expecting a growth spurt due to CHL protein and growth factor. I will not repurchase the many other vits that I take. I will probably just keep the MSM, Olive Leaf Extract, Colloidal Silver and of course Oil pulling.

I plan to stay on this Green Wagon (Who needs a "Bandwagon" anyway?) for life and I will continue to update you all on my progress.

Thanks OP for a wonderful thread and I wish all of you and your families, most of all HEALTH because the rest of your dreams will no doubt follow...

Wow, this thread grows by leaps and bounds, much like our hair will after a few months of chlorella.

Im still doing fine. Im holding steady at 10grams of chlorella day. I have been breaking it up into 6grams in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night. The 2nd and 3rd doses are pill form and the morning dose is powder.

My skin is crappy but I recently started Oil Pulling on the first so I suspect it has something to do with that. No zits but its not as smooth as it was before, I think it will pass, im just cleansing a little deeper now and I havent been eating well these past few days. I'll be better again starting tomorrow.

I look forward to my nettle tea at night now, its such a comfort. My scalp hasn't stopped tingling over the past week. I hope thats only good things.

I finally found a scale, I actually haven't lost but 5 pounds or so. for a total of 10 since I've been on the shake. Im much tighter and leaner though which isn't exactly what I was hoping for but at the same time I don't mind, just means more squats.

I fell off the workout wagon, but starting tomorrow I will be back on it, I got the Mel B video. I wasn't working out to lose weight but I truly feel that the change in my diet and the changes inside my body worked better and faster when I was working out. I could see almost instant results.

Welcome all the newbies. Congratulations. I think LuckyD and I as well as a few others have been on the Chlorella for the longest (within this thread). Im sure some of us wouldnt mind answering questions so Lucky can get a break. Additionally BelleR has a whole bunch of knowledge to share.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

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?

Received your pm. I'm going through it tomorrow to see what needs to be added and it should be placed by tomorrow night. Yay! It looks pretty complete in and of itself. Thanks so much for this suggestion. I really want to help the newbies but still keep this thread in tact. I agree with that you say about how people are going to have to read and can't get away with not doing so. After all this is lhcf and we thirst for knowledge here! This thread has so much valuable stuff in it it would be a shame to skim over. And if cut into more than one, can confuse and divide the purpose and comraderie that we share here. So I think this is the perfect solution. I'll post when it's up. You did a really great job with the info that you compiled! I would post it earlier but I have a major paper that counts for fifty percent of my grade and it's no joke as this class is insane! Thanks so much.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

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.

Bellveuse28 came up with a good solution and it entails what you're talking about here. Where a quick start guide is added to the first page of the post. I'm going to work on it today and tomorrow,, Bell did a lot of it already and I'm just going to double check if any other info is necessary.

The requests have come. I understand why but I don't think it would make anything easier because then there'd be two threads out there or more and then no one would know where to post, and it would just become a hindrance (You know my simplicity motto). I think the idea is in the right place, but that like you said this is a default thread for some (I know it is for me). It's the first place I look before I even search the rest of the thread. I want us to keep our bond so to speak.

So I think we have a solution that can make everyone happy and the newbies a little less confused. Instead of asking them to look back in the thread we can refer them to the first page if they haven't looked yet for the quick start guide. I'll post and let every one know when it's complete which will be very soon.

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.

If you aren't having any symptoms up it! The maintanence dose is around 5-6 grams per the articles I posted earlier anyways. That's the dose that most people should strive for in the long run (after increases for healing,etc, if they go that route)

 

[luckiestdestiny]

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

Unfortunately because she's so far along in her stage of systemic lupus, the docs don't want her to exercise. Her body can swell too much and start attacking itself. She's even on oxygen now (they just did it as they found that all her organs are being attacked including lungs right now) So that's why she's been understandably frustrated. They used to recommend exercise but at this stage they're avidly against it. Ironic lose weight w/o exercise. Though it can be done, it just takes longer. I agree if she could exercise the CHL would take it to another level!

Welcome PGirl. I am so happy that your pain is getting smaller. Here's to hoping it becomes nonexistent. As for thyroid disease and radioactive iodine I am also happy I found chlorella because of taking this. It supposedly stays in your system a year after with traces for years that can cause thyroid cancer down the line. I'm happy Chlorella clears out toxins and binds to them to get them outta the system because I wish I could undo the mistake of saying yes, but I can't turn back the hands of time. I was listening to doctors and misinformed. I thought they must know everything so I should just do what they say. I didn't get second opinions, I didn't research the outcome of doing so. So anyways I am happy that you're taking chlorella too so it can clear out those toxins from that medicine and alkanize our body so that it can be a disease fighting machine!

I thank you also for actually reading the whole thread. I know it is huge now and can be really a daunting task. And of course happy health and happy hair growing. Again welome!

I finally read all of the pages I missed! I HAD to read/finish in one sitting...took a LONG TIME though (just finished a few minutes after 3:00 AM ). There is so much useful info. in this thread. I have to admit I am a bit afraid to take chlorella capsules now....I DO NOT want to experience nausea and I definitely don't want to get sick. Now, I am still taking chlorophyll and it's only one capsule every time you eat...I only experienced bloating and it went away after a couple of days. I am interested in using chlorella for undereye circles and childhood scars--thanks for posting about that LuckiestDestiny. Anyway, the capsules should be in the mail by the end of this week. I will start the green powder (which has chlorella, spirulina, and probiotics among other things) today in my green shake.

You shouldn't be afraid. Most of the detoxing is from the chlorophyll in the chlorella and you already know what that experience is like for you (detox). The other stuff in the chlorella: CGF, amino acids, vitamins, minerals cause regeneration of cells causing hair and nail growth and healing. So you should be psyched as you already know what your detox symptoms are.

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

the more the merrier

There is a free download. Copy the below link and it will navigate you to the download page.

[Blaque*Angel]

well, i got my spirulina powder today

i've not tasted it yet but hope its not THAT bad!!! I did not find chlorella bad tasting at all

I also got 200g's of nettle leaves, so i will be drinking this and also doing rinses once a week!!

OK on to Chlorella, i've been doing a little experiment since the end of last week! i've been mixing a table spoon of chlorella with a tea spoon of MSM and mixing it in freshly squeezed orange juice. i bet a lot of you are thinking but it only tastes bitter because of the MSM...

Anyway i drink this before i go to sleep, i crash out, completely knock out and have the most beautiful colorful, vivid, exciting dreams which i control completely. i feel my head throbbing the whole night like my hair is growing at a faster rate

I'm going to up my dose of chlorella today, i will be drinking it three times a day now instead of two.

I still feel energetic, my nails are beginning to look faker ,very white and shiny
(i was always asked if i was wearing false nails even before chlorella, so i look forward to seeing the lengths they will grow!)

I'm in love with this superfood

I know what you mean BUT I am very happy that more and more people are catching on so it doesn't bother me just hard to keep up and I check it daily!

I think posting useful info in the 1st thread is a great idea. That will give me a place to put all of the links and pdfs I find.

IndianAngel I'm not sure if it will be ok for you to premix but like LD said I would only let it sit premixed for a couple of days if you must (I would really only feel safe with 2 days at the most). Only because when it's sitting there mixed with other chemicals from the juice I don't know if any of the nutrients are being broken down. It may be inconvienient but I would just mix it fresh daily that way you know for SURE that you are not taking anything away from it. HTH!

Welcome to all new comers. We are all very excited about chlorella and hope you all get just as excited and like LD and Kimbosheart said any questions please ask. I would hate to have someone with a detox symptom who just deals with it because they are to nervous to ask-when they probably should scale back. No one really expects new comers to go through ALL the posts, that's insane!

 

[BrandNew]

Ok I just read this entire thread and I will definitely be purchasing this soon. My friend has been telling me about this for months now so I will give it a try.

 

[Muse]

well, i got my spirulina powder today

Cool which brand did you get? I've been taking Earthrise for almost a month and I was going to drop it and just go with my chlorella because I didn't want to deal with taking a bunch of stuff but then someone posted how good it was for hair growth AND I read that it's good at keeping Candida overgrowth at bay. That right there is enough for me to keep taking it, besides it has A LOT of protein and hair is protein so I'm guessing this will just add to the grwoth and strength that chlorella gives us.

 

[Muse]

Ok I just read this entire thread and I will definitely be purchasing this soon. My friend has been telling me about this for months now so I will give it a try.

Hi BrandNew, welcome! So your friend has been taking it for a while? What results has he/she seen?

 

[sheba1]

Does anyone have any online coupons or source codes for Vitacost.com?

This will get you 5% PD93MWB6

 

[sheba1]

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.

Ooooh, I think this is great! Do you mind sharing some of the ways you've been incorporating chlorella for your daughter?

 

[AtlantaJJ]

My son took three tabs last night!

My dad just ordered another bottle of the SN CHL

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I think posting useful info in the 1st thread is a great idea. That will give me a place to put all of the links and pdfs I find.

!

Please post that link in her today so I can bookmark it.

I again apologize for being so drive-by-ish I have a lot of work going on with my project at work.....

I'm still reading though.

all the new people who are just starting out!! I got my dad on this and next I'm working my son on to it, he's 11 just think of all the benefits he will reap. My father is 74 and he is reaping benefits too!!

 

[mariofmagdal]

Ooooh, I think this is great! Do you mind sharing some of the ways you've been incorporating chlorella for your daughter?

Two kiddos take the tiny 200mg tablets. They already take MSM capsules and a multi everyday. I give them the tablets 30 min before meal-time. Their dosage equals 1g. They also drink the Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness Smoothie. One son can only deal with the drink for now, he is 7 and has not mastered swallowing pills. His MSM is opened and added to his juice, not the green one.

If we come up with anything more creative, I will surely post. Go GREENS!

I just got the cookbook yesterday, I haven't tried anything yet.

My sister has been taking this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=300295421026

for a few months so I ordered that. when she was telling me about spirulina i was not interested because she's always jumping from one thing to another for weight loss reasons. but the proof is in the pudding i did not see her for a month or so and she has lost so much weight (about a dress size or two?) she has no appetite so forces a large meal a day

i would like to lose the rest of my baby weight and have as much superfoods in my body as possible, so this it what made me order spirulina.

i'm about to mix it in a fruit smoothie now

 

[Blaque*Angel]

i'm drinking my spir and CHL mixed with spring water,orange,cranberry,apple and elderberry juices. tastes ok to me but i can taste the "dirt" taste that many described the spir tastes like!! it's not bad though, i can definitely handle this

 

[Candycane044]

So today was the first time I used Source Naturals chlorella, and let me tell you the difference is tremendous. Originally, I was taking NOW-Chlorella and I decided to switch in order to get the CGF. Source Naturals is much more easy to mix with my juice, and it tastes a bit stronger in a subtle way. (if that makes sense?) I can't get over how well it mixed with my juice whereas the NOW-Chlorella still had lumps and grooves in it no matter how hard I shook it lol. I'm very pleased with SN, I hope it benefits me even more than NOW did.

Girl, get that paper done... That's most important! Also, I sent you a PM of some info I forgot to add... Pretty much all that info has come from the articles you posted. Thoose are the things people really need to be reading. I dont think I'm talented or anything, but when I come into long threads like this, I find it easy to skim over comments like the "thank yous" and other things that aren't really relevant and can find what I need. Hopefully some of our newbies will be able to do that, or anyone else that gets overwhelmed. It's basically speed reading and then your brain automatically chimes in when it's relevant info.... For newbie's reading this, try it, it really works. Don't focus on reading every single post, just skim down teh page, your brain will tell you when you see something relevant and important to read because eyou already have in mind what you're looking for. It works very well for me. HTH

Wow thanks, Candy! That's very good to know. Absorption rates, digestability, and how well something dissolves in an aqueous solution is very good when it comes to vitamins, minerals, supplements and food. I take SN and I've never had problems with it being lumpy or resistant to dissolving. This makes me very happy that my first choice was most likely the best choice...

 

[yodie]

Okay, I have latched onto your dad via this thread. Is it obvious? Tell him that we're proud of his consistency.

My hair growth buddy made it in this thread. Welcome Sheba1.

Quick question. For some odd reason my bm's have gone back to brown. That was at 10g's. I've since reduced (started yesterday) to 6 g's.
I noticed that I was soo tired and hads a hard time getting out of bed yesterday and today.

Just wondering if my body needs more than 10 g's and if so, is the 6 g's that I reduced to just a teaze?

Do I stay where I am? Go back up to 10 or just increase it to 8 g's?
Still taking aloe. Maybe I'll have to for awhile. I'm okay with that. I have a lot of nast yeast. I've been seeing some of it come out. Thank the Lord.

Any suggestions?

Oh... The chl paste is working. Evening up dark spots already. Gonna take awhile, but I can see a difference.

BelleR, I'm your Hulk twin.

My son took three tabs last night!

My dad just ordered another bottle of the SN CHL

 

[Jaxhair]

I have just bought via ebay.... 5 months supply of chlor and spir!!! All certified organic, the chlor is cracked cell wall and it's free P&P and cheaper than buying at the health shop! Thought I'd buy enough to last me a while whilst the prices are low and P&P is free. It's another brand - Green Origins. Seems reputable, so here's to patient waiting!

Maaaaaan, 2009 sure is the year to get me sorted out healthwise. I've learnt so much and I feel so much better and I'm sure my body and hair will show for it wonderfully come end of this year - can't wait! So excited!

Will report back on these when I start taking 'em.

Still taking mine regularly, and we're green all the way! Shrek would so be proud of me, lol!
