Does anyone have silver fillings? I have some and all of the detox symptoms I keep reading about is freaking me out.

Here's some info regarding silver fillings. HTH.
Mercury fillings are a common source of contaminants used in dental surgeries. These fillings are also called ‘silver-fillings’ which is not untrue, since they really contain a bit of silver powder among others, but it is mixed up with ‘pure mercury’, one of the most potent nerve toxins. These mercury fillings emit a constant stream of mercury vapour which gets absorbed into your body. Very often small parts of these mercury fillings crack and are swallowed with the food. Almost all dental patients in the UK and other countries are subjected to routine mercury poisoning every time they get a ‘silver filling’.
Chlorella can help protect you against dental mercury poisoning by bringing it out of the body before it can cause any harm. If you decide to have the mercury fillings removed, be aware that the process of drilling them out results in mercury exposure in your body. The removal of those fillings needs to be made with a rubber dam protecting your oral cavity
from swallowing the particles and the help of a powerful suction and disposal system which, unfortunately, is not very common in most dental practices. Taking Chlorella before every procedure offers good protection against the vapours and bits of filling you eventually may inhale or swallow during its removal process.
There is probably no need to say that one should avoid the silver mercury fillings at all and that preventative methods are the only way to avoid tooth decay.

That's funny. I actually had those. I just didn't think about it until you mentioned it. My eyes also got brighter and whiter so you're on your way. Who knows why this happens?

Earlier today I posted a picture of my new growth on my hairline. Usually 8 days after a relaxer I dont have springy new growth, my relaxed hair looks fresh for about 1.5 weeks. After taking Chlorella for a month this is the first time I have this much new growth in a short time. Not only that, my body hair is growing faster, too. I noticed this before but today is the first time I really noticed the growth on my head.

I relaxed my hair last Wednesday night. This morning as I was brushing my hair I noticed my new growth. This is the most new growth I've had in 8 days and I can't comb through the crown of my head. The Chlorella and weekly Nettle Tea rinses are working for me.
Yay!!!
By the way, DO NOT use the nettle capsules for the tea rinse unless you are able to strain the tea well. Flakes of the nettle were falling from my hair after I tried it. Using the tea bags is MUCH better. So true

Thanks for this info. I've been taking CHL for less than a week, but I wanted to start taking Sprirulina by the time I increased my dose this week and I wasn't sure how to incorporate it or what dosage to start at. I've only been taking 600mg daily of CHL(source naturals pills) and I mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't feeling good at ALL that first day. Since then I haven't felt like that...I started Sunday and the following days I just had a headache and increased BM's...actually yesterday and today I haven't had a headache at all. I feel like my appetite has increased and I've actually gained weight(about 2 pounds)since last week....hopefully that won't continue.
The one thing I did want to mention is hair growth. Now, I've been using MT on my scalp daily for the past 3 or 4 weeks and I've mainly noticed thickness and a little growth. Well the other night it seems like my hair grew over night. I mean the NG was really noticable and thick. I don't know if this was from the MT finally kicking in or from the CHL...or just a combo from both of them... but either way I like it.
Yeah, I don't think that the chlorella would make you gain at that low a dose. You would have to be over detoxing for that to happen and that only happens at higher amounts for a rare few. Maybe you ate something differently or too much of whatever, or your just gaining pms water....who knows? In addition if you're drinking too much juice, you may need to decrease and add water.
I'm sure the headache will go too.

We decided to keep it together. If you need a guide, we just added to the first and second post a mini guide so to speak for chlorella! I don't want to open new threads and divide the focus and comraderie here.

I could see how one would think the thread is taking a different turn. However, Spirulina and Chlorella are mostly spoken hand in hand. For the most part, they are taken together. The additional findings regarding Spirulina were bound to come forth in this thread. Basically with regards to research, they both fall under Blue-Green Algae. It's very fitting under one roof, what does not work for some will work for others, it's an added benefit as many of us are finding. Gone Green for LIFE!

I don't mind the talk. Hey we even talk about Nettle too. I'm not really taking spirulina except in my green drink mix, as I'm mostly focused on chlorella, but it is most definitely a super food too.

IMPORTANT FOR SPIRULINA TAKERS
I don't mind spirulina in small concentrations, but higher amounts scare me. I have found some research such as this:
http://www.raysahelian.com/spirulina.html
Spirulina and the Immune System
Apparently spirulina has the ability to stimulate the immune system which could be beneficial in some individuals, and potentially harmful in those who already have an overactive immune system or an autoimmune condition. Therefore, spirulina is not advised to be taken regularly for those who have lupus, autoimmune thyroiditis, pemphigus vulgaris, and other such autoimmune conditions.....
That's the reason I try to limit spirulina use as I do have an autoimmune condition, and my docs are checking to make sure I don't have another that is undiagnosed (as they are usually in clusters or can cause other autoimmune to happen). I definitely don't want to encourage that.
This article does say however that it's definitely good for others who don't have these problems, so please do not assume spirulina is bad. I just don't think it's advisable to me.I am pleased that you love it mariofmagdal and that you're getting benefits from it.
I know chlorella also has high protein and cgf so I have to stick to that.
I also wanted to let those with other autoimmune or other conditions know so they can judge for themselves and make a decision that's best for them.
I'm also adding this piece in this edit just for information purposes. Though it speaks of some specific auto, it is referring to all, as all auto immune illnesses attack the body, and spirulina can cause the bodies attack system to be stimulated to attack itself even more: so in Rheumatoid arthritis that would be the joints, in lupus major organs, graves the eyes and thyroid, fibromyalgia the joints and muscles, other illnesses would cause other stimulations; and on and on for example:

Herbal Supplements and Autoimmune Patients
Potential Adverse Effects of Some Herbal supplements on Patients with Autoimmune Diseases
By Victoria P. Werth, M.D.
Herbal supplements are used widely, and some of these supplements may stimulate the immune system in ways that could be harmful for people who have or are prone to autoimmune diseases. There are a number of herbal medications that have been studied and have immunostimulatory effects. Among these are Echinacea, the algae Spirulina platensis and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. We recently reported three patients with autoimmune disease, two of whom had pemphigus vulgaris, whose disease exacerbated shortly after beginning one of these herbal medications (Lee and Werth, Arch Dermatol 140:723, 2004). In one case of dermatomyositis the patient re-flared several months later after rechallenging herself with the same herbal product.

My little princess is a Chl pro. She comes home from school and the first thing she seeks are her little green pills. I am impressed that I do not have to remind her. Her big bro on the other hand is upset that she beats him taking them everyday........so cute to be GREEN.

I have read those studies as well. There are mounds of research out there that counteract one another. As with any supplement, if you have any serious condition, your medical practitioner should be your first stop.
Any and all information released here should be regarded as just that, for informational purposes only. I am in the medical field and this is not my specialty.
It is however, a great environment for sharing and updating the progress of those who have decided to go green. I am happy to be a part, as one who has gone GREEN.

Thanks so much for this link! Even though I've researched this off and on for years, there was still some info. (such as the supplement info) that I didn't know. I'm going to save it for future reference.

Are you ladies taking any specific brand of spirulina?? That energy boost sounds great. I need something to help me lay off the coffee in the mornings.

I do!! I am experiencing pink eye issues!!!! I use anti bacterial soap and wipes all the time but since chl i have been getting eye infections.. i have the green stuff in my eyes some mornings... i know tmi... mine is mostly mornings only, not throughout the day...

Pink eye is a little different. Get to a doc for that! I just have more moisture in the morning at the eyes an had that for a weeks, but that has cleared up. pink eye is an infection. I think the eye issue thing is just the body cleansing itself versus an infection which is what pink eye is.

I'm waiting for an answer too because I'm excited about the possibilities of chlorella for skin blemishes.

No worries I have! I have a $45.00 bottle of bacterial eye drops to show for it!! I have not had conjunctivitis in years and all of a sudden it shows up.. I am a contact lens wearer and have stopped wearing my contacts because of this..Is it a coinky-dink I dont know but I am taking care of my eyes and I wake up occasionally with "red eyes" which always clear up by the afternoon...

Hi there,
I take all Earthrise products, my decision was based upon the fact that they manufacture their own Spirulina. I believe I am not the only one using Earthrise for Spirulina. Their website is very informative and they have been doing this for over 25 years. www.earthrise.com I order them from Luckyvitamin.com, I believe vitacost and some others carry this brand as well. Best wishes to you fellow Greenie. ;0)

Here is what I am thinking. Yes we should be aware of this info and take it seriously...BUT think about this...
Some say that it is the build up of toxins in the body that make people sick with diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis. So would it be crazy if I said...if CHL gets metals and toxins out of the body, then you could potentially rid the body of the autoimmune deficiency? If the autoimmune deficiency goes away, then the info mentioned is null and void. Could this be why they say take Chlorella and Spirulina together?
