How about taking Chlorella?

[luckiestdestiny]

Great Stars in Heaven my hair is growing faster!!

I have got to straighten my hair next weekend for a length check photo...

It's really soft too !!! I won't even mention my nails!

The little smilies above are singing a congratulations song to you!

Softness I agree, chlorella has made my hair grow out softer (nettle helps too but I know chlorella also does)

I don't split mine up in the day.

Could also be a reason you're not as consistent.

For those that are driven to do so, they can do that. I know myself. If I split into two, I'd forget one, or get preoccupied w/ something else and not have the time, etc. So I set habits so I don't forget. For instance my medicine for my thyroid I take it right when I wake up PERIOD. So I don't forget. For chlorella I take it right at dinner period, so I don't forget. I'm making my dinner and I'm like darn it, where's my chlorella. Or I'm out getting a bite, I reach right in my bag and get some chlorella tablets because I've made it a habit.

So I just take my whole thing at dinner. It says it can be taken any time so that's what I do.

Would it be better to take it split? Probably. But it's better to take it consistently more importantly than any other factor so I'd say go for it! Take it at night. Heck I take more than 6 grams in one sitting and I've been doing the dinner thing every day for a month.

Yeah i've been forgetting a dose some days, i'll just take 6 pills at dinner and see how that works out for me.

I can't imagine what's its going to be like after 4 months, just 3 weeks and all I can say is wow!!!

Chlorella has allowed me to drop 3 pounds without doing a thing, and I swear my hair has grown an inch... I have grown claws for nails too. My toe nail polish looks like I need a fill-in, they usually grow really, really slow.

This is nothing short of amazing for me

Man, I'm jealous! My hair is natural and a thick as a banchee's arse! I think my hair is growing, but I didn't pay much attention to how long it was when I started because I was so psyched about the whole health factors, esp. the cancer thing. Cancer really freaks me out and when people around you are being diagnosed with it or dying more often than you'd ever imagine, it really just freaks me the heck out. So along with weight loss and appetite curbing, I've not paid any attention to my hair. I hope it's growing, and I dont want to straighten it because it got really damaged with heat during the holidays. So i'm a little discouraged as far as the hair thing is going. Maybe it's just healthier for me to assume my hair is growing well, huh?

ETA: Okay, I decided I may straighten a section of my hair just for measurement and see what's gonna ha[ppen in the next four weeks. (sighs relief)

I bought some Chlorella pills from the Health Food store today. Not only am I hoping for good growth, I'm looking forward to Chlorella's detoxing benefits.I eat a lot of processed and fast foods when I'm on the road. I hope this doesn't make me lose weight though.

ETA: I just read LD's post, I take a dose in the morning without fail, then I take another either before lunch or before bed, I just feel compelled to spread my dose out through the day. My dad is taking them 3 times per day. To me it's like food so I want to make sure it's in my system at least every 12 hours.

Congratulations!!! How long have you been taking CHL? Do you notice any thickness or does it fill fuller like a larger volume?

What stands out about my hair is that it's much thicker even for Mega-Tek. I know that when I started CHL my hair was touching BSL and a few days ago I had my niece pull my hair and it reached close to the middle of my bra strap. And I wear the wide straps ya'll. I don't know if I will claim growth yet as I am not scheduled for a length check till next week. And my nails are thicker and tougher.

That's what I do when I'm really lazy. I take a section after wash dc and I put on some more conditioner and Moisture block for heat protection, let it dry. Then I flat iron away. I then know my length. I then just rewet that section w/ a little shampoo(because I need to get out the MB so that moisture can penetrate), add a little more conditioner,and let it air dry. Then I just braid up all my hair.

That's when I want to go lazy style, though I don't do that at every length check. Sometimes I'll do the whole head to see how it's all growing out.

I wonder if it's possible to get protein overload with using Mega-Tek and Chlorella? I know Babydollhair is using MT and CHL. In fact I plan on getting the Protein Bolthouse Farms Goodness fruit juice smoothy. I want to try all of that deliciousness.........

If you're tiny or normal weight, you won't lose. I posted an article about this earlier. Chlorella just balances the body.

Being overweight causes the body to be imbalanced. Think about it when you're overweight you have HUGE higher likelihood for: Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Fatty liver disease, Gallbladder disease, Sleep Apnea, Gout, and Cancer among a whole other host of problems. That's why I roll my eyes when people say it's okay to be overweight. Don't get me wrong I need to lose weight, but I'm not in denial. I KNOW it's bad for my body health wise. Yes you should LOVE yourself no matter what size, but you should also try to get your body in the best shape possible so that you can live the best life possible. At least that's my belief. And I have a thyroid problem so I was told by docs I'd never be able to lose it all so ha! ha! to them because I've lost almost all of it back.

I digress I got off the subject. An imbalanced body becomes balanced through taking chlorella in all ways. If your body is thin (lucky you whether metabolism or eating right), it is not needing balance in that way, chlorella will more than likely balance other "things" whatever they are in your body and cleans you of toxins.

I wouldn't think so because one is external and one internal. But if your hair changes and doeesn't need as much protein, you may reconsider at that point.

Wow protein smoothies. You are powering up the protein, huh? Hair growth exceleration!

You know what's funny, I joined this "challenge" totally for the health benefits. I wasn't really super concerned with my hair growth because I was convinced that it was just going to grow at it's standard rate regardless of what I do. So when I start to look at my hair and see this incredible growth spurt, (my son just verified) what a pleasant surprise!

I am sure your hair is growing too!! I was planning to straighten at the end of this month, so I'm on schedule and due for a length check and a light trim.

It is definately thicker and longer...which is amazing. I'm sorry I didn't do before pictures sooner.... I need to go back in the thread and determine when I started the challenge but I could swear it was like the last week of January or so ... I'll scroll back to see.

My nails are thicker, longer and stronger. I'm not getting the horizontal splits I usually get when they get longer than a certain length. This doesn't make sense because it takes 4 - 5 months to grow out an entire nail.

ETA: My first post was on 1/29/2009 and I started taking it that day because I already had it here at the house, I just never took it...

 

[yodie]

I'll have to live vicariously through you ladies as it relates to hair growth. I'm praying that my hair is growing...I just don't know. I do know that it's soooo soft. This is the best my hair has ever felt after air drying. I don't plan to check for length until May, so I should have some kind of growth by then.

I'm still slightly nauseous. Its better than yesterday, but it comes and goes. Man.. is my system that toxic?

Yodie, I had a day last week where I was nauseated beyond belief and for the whole day. It was right after I had taken the chlorella and drank my fastling tea. I've been doing this regime for three weeks now and had not had that effect, but other detoxing effects. So maybe they vary at times, or maybe one effect is consistent until you're done detoxing. But I was miserable that whole day and stayed in bed... I kept trying to eat things to make my tummy feel better and it all came down to peppermints. I ate some peppermints and I was fine.. but once I finished eating them, the nausea came back, so I brewed some peppermint tea and I was much much better. HTH

Thanks, I needed that encouragement! Im like a wide eyed trusting little child here soaking up everything you say! Hahaha... I feel much better

It does make sense. That's why I was so happy about my accidental discovery. Because when I started doing research and putting two and two together it made sense that if the chlorella growth factor caused rapid regeneration in the body then all things would happen at a faster rate then normal. Meaning if your cells are regenerating,your nails are going to grow faster, and so is your hair. Yes it has to repair other stuff for some people first, but when it kicks in, it kicks in. Its the whole CGF factor.

Its exciting to know we are doing something so good for our health!! Its empowering to know that we can make choices to help our chances of living a long healthy, disease free lives. Yes we can!!!

To first bolded part we will all reap the benefits. I just feel it to my core which is why I started this post in the first place. It's just a matter of time Yodie. Just don't think about it and I'm sure one day you'll look up and gasp with shock at how much your hair has grown. That's what I'm doing. No length checks daily or weekly for me. Just next time I have one I know I'll have a pleasant suprise.


To 2nd bolded I remember you stopped and started back. I think you're having problems because of that.Even though babydoll hair hasn't been consistent lately she's taken it for over a year and her body is used to the chlorella and probably pretty clean of toxins. You were just getting started when you stopped taking them so to speak and are now starting back. I'm sure it'll settle down eventually with consistency.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that. I'm hoping that chlorella will help me with my thyroid disease and just keep me clean of toxins so that my body can be healthy. Another thing I forgot to mention is that chlorella alkanizes the body. Cancer grows in acidic bodies, and so does other disease according to some scientists and health guides out there. So chlorella helps our body to be in the optimal condition for good health.

It is a MUST for the rest of my life.

Welcome to the toenail growth club. It's not fun but at least we know something's working. I was kinda lonely with reservations for one as no one else seemed to be noticing this side effect. So I'll tell the waiter to put set another plate down, some silver ware, and pull over a chair. Grab some big toe nail clippers, or brace yourself at the salon. My toenails are thicker too and I'm constantly cutting them!

I just started taking Chlorophyll (Swanson) today and earlier I had a little indigestion (with belching ). I am beginning to wonder if this is because of the Chlorophyll....I only took one capsule after eating per the instructions (hours later I had indigestion...though it could be due to the *gummy* erplexed rice-from takeout-that I had for lunch). *Shrugs*

Hey dare to dream chlorella is not chlorophyl, though chlorella does contain some.

Chlorophyl is mainly to remove toxins

Chlorella: removes toxins, balances the body, and has chlorella growth factor which causes rapid cell regeneration, alkanizes the body to keep it safe from disease, and in addition provides the body with every essential nutrient from vitamins to enzymes and minerals.

Yeah, I knew there were differences between the two but I ordered Chlorophyll because it was a buy 1 get 1 free thing, lol. I just don't like the indigestion. Have you had any digestion or stomach discomfort with Chlorella?

Thanks for that tip. I'll pick up peppermints and expect the best. Glad the nauseau is passing for you too. BR, we're getting ready to tie the.... (smile). Chlorella is tying up some loose ends (wink...wink...)

I haven't but others have had a problem during the detox phase.

I never stopped taking CHL. I just went down from 9g to about 2-3 g's when my mom came to visit. It was enough for my green to go back to brown.

I feel like I started detoxing all over again and I'm sure I never finished the first round. Oh well, I have nothing but time. I just liken this detoxing and waiting on all the health benefits as my "Esther" phase. It takes time to become MORE beautiful inside and out.

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

I haven't but others have had a problem during the detox phase.

I've read the beginning of the thread but *skimmed* the rest...I did see a few posts about the stomach discomfort. I feel mostly bloated...I'm glad it's not nausea or else I'll stop taking it.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Here is the website of the juices/smoothies that I get from grocery stores. I add my Chlorella to these and it's a great treat. It's nice to know there are more that I haven't tried. They are most delicious.

Go to "our products" and choose Beverages. Also, go to "find a store" and add in your zip code to see if any of the stores near you have them.

And here are all of the beverages on one page:

I meant to put source natural powder and tablets. So know that when you check pills under source naturals, you are voting for powder.

Source Naturals is a great, great brand! As is Solgar!!!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Hey ladies who are using the "other" chlorella brands please tell which one you're using. I know that Jax has already chimed in. Please just post so that we can track the results. Thanks so much.
