How about taking Chlorella?

[Muse]

I went to my doctor today and the first thing she said to me was "you were right I looked up chlorella after I got off the phone with you and it does have vitamin D." I just smiled and said "Yes I know." But inside I'm thinking you shouldn't be knocking something you know nothing about! She wrote me a slip to get my blood work redone in 2 months to see if my levels improve while only taking chlorella.

She said it looked like I had lost weight. I didn't even bother going into how chlorella was most likely responsible because I had to stop going to the gym (per my rheumatologist's instruction) for a few weeks now. When I got on her scale I saw that I had lost 3.5lbs! This is quite a feat for me if I'm not working out AND on prednisone(steroids for inflammation). I am finally experiencing consistent appetite control, not that I've lost it completely but I just have no desire for junk anymore. I have WAY more control which is too awesome because I am usually out of control as far as appetite on prednisone.

I am not bloated anymore, I feel more like myself again BUT now I am gassy too! Oh well this too shall pass, I see that I have a lot of work to be done on my digestive system. I put the Source Naturals powder on hold for now so I am taking 9g of Chlorenergy pills and 9g of spirulina.

I think I've seen Mango nectar near the hispanic beverages in the grocery store(I can't remember the brand name). I'll keep trying flavors until I find the right mix.

I LOVE mango nectar. Good choice!

Maybe you should share all these wonderful benefits with your dr. Maybe she'll be more apt to suggest CHL to her patients instead of expensive drugs.

OMG It makes me feel so good to know that there is someone else out there like me. I have also been on BC sense I was 18. If I don't take it I get extrememly terrible pains, my tubes begin to drop and I can feel it, and I get uncontrollable contractions. It's so painful and makes me sick and overheat and sometimes I'll pass out. And this is "NOT" being on my period LOL! I seriously though tI was the only one. I dunno wtf I'm gonna do if I ever have to come off of it Maybe we should be friends

Oh, mos def we can be friends cause my Lord, I know how you feel.. Vomitting for a whole day, contractions.. I figure when I do have a baby, that will be a piece of cake cause these periods made me want to shoot myself in the head. And yes, I'd get hot flashes and everything.. It's unreal... It was so bad I was so afraid to get a new job or something because I seriously have to be home when I have my period. I cannot be out in public. I use the Nuva Ring and it's amazing!!! I still get cramps sometimes and a little nausea, but nothing like before. But recently, I rediscovered Yogi Tea's Women's Health Support, it's a tea especially for our reproductive organs and cycle. Well, I used to take it a week before my period and it would help but I was not on birth control then. But now with a combination of both, I forget that I'm on and my days are usually shortened and very light. (Sorry for the rest of you if thsi is TMI). But it is my hope that chlorella will heal whatever is going wrongo with my body because I honestly believe that so many women have terrible periods because of environmental and agricultural toxins in our food supply and environment. We will see what happens. I took myself off the birth control 3 weeks ago and my period is due in about a week. So I will let you all know for those of us who suffer really bad periods. And if you do, definitely get the Yogi tea, it's no joke, like seriously. Start drinking it everyday for a week before your period, you'd be surprised. "ve never had periods that I could forget about. That was a blessing from heaven for me. WE'll see what Chlorella is gonna show up to the plate and do for us.

ALERT ALERT!!!!!! SPRING BREAK ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be going on spring break in FL..... I take the powder.... WHAT TO DO!?

Get some pills! I take mine with me in case my powder is not available.

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Thank you! I'm just a little happy that I can after 15 years still fit the same clothes. I have been pretty close to the same size my adult life, it takes work! I'm going to be 47 this year so I'm just counting my blessings for being healthy and feeling great!!



OMG! YOu're 47!!! OMGGGGGGG!!!!!! You look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Atlanta, I thought you were like 34!~ You are incredible! I so wanna be like you when I grow up ! LOL!!! I am amazed! You got me beat, homegirl.... I love it, what an inspiration you are!

 

[belle_reveuse28]

OH ladies I missed y'all so. I have been testing this week and I couldn't quite make it to the board. Yesterday was a month on the Chlorella for me. I am proud to say that I made my goal of 2" for the month, actually a little over that. I will have my brother take pictures on Sunday that way when I show you my growth progress at the end of March you will have proof.

I have lost weight, gained muscle tone and my eyelashes look false. My skin is flawless none of my classmates believed me when I told them how stressful studying has been for the past 2 months. This is a miracle, I will definitely be creating a paste of chlorella and emu oil to place on my stretch marks for the next few months to see if I can see some tone and improvement there.

Inspired by LD, I put chlorella on a cut that I have had trouble healing and it did the trick in a day. This cut has been on my hand for the past week and it wouldnt heal because I wash dishes everynight but one night of studying with chlorella paste on my hand did the trick,

Because I had to travel to take my exam I fell off on the eggshake for tuesday, wednesday and today but I plan on getting right back on it tomorrow. I also cut my dose of chlorella in half because i would not be able to deal with frequent BMs because of the test.

A quick tip: if you are taking tablets and you have a cut or some small scar to heal, just run the tablet under the faucet and rub it directly on the scar. Its the perfect amount and its not quite as messy as making a paste.

It's great to see you reach your goal. Is the 2" solely from Chlorella, or are there other supplements or growth aids you are using?

 

[jerseygurl]

I ordered my chlorella on Tuesday and I missed them yesterday and today. So I have to postpone my trip on Monday so that I can pick up my chlorella.

Good going ladies.

I trimmed, Im at 1.5 now.

But I drink the waistlength shake daily and for about 2.5 weeks I drank 2 of those per day. I use OCT/MT mix every other night and I bun everyday. I also worked out every day this month and I have been drinking nettle tea for about a week or so, maybe two?

All of these things combined gave me these results. I really challenged myself to eat healthy so that I could create an internal environment for great beauty results. Because my hair grows in a V Im excited that the my hair is longer but Im still inches away from full APL. Im most excited that my complexion has cleared up better than it looked when I was taking Accutane and my eyelashes look fake.

In essence I think the CHL took all my other efforts and made them over the top. In January I was drinking the shake and using OCT/MT and I didn't get near this much growth, maybe about 3/4 of inch. After my first week of CHL I saw measureable growth, maybe 1/3 of inch. I posted that observation on this thread. The CHL and working out really changed the efficacy of all the internal and external efforts I used to improve my hair.

Hey the 80 percent veggie 20 meal plan without trying!

Okay maybe that's not funny to you. I did notice when I eat pizza I felt a little sick. There was this one place that was all natural but the just piled on the meat and cheese and it was a nono. I think the oiliness of it is too much when combined with the chlorella. So now I only eat it from this place that is organic and has just a little meat proscuito on it and mozzarella and asparagus. But I'm talking it has very little meat on it and very thin crust. It's really good though. I haven't craved it that much though because of the chlorella.

Well I increased my dosage to 9 grams today and when I had my turkey patties I got sharp pains in my stomach. erplexed I may have to get veggie burgers but I haven't found any that I like. And I'm really temped to finish off those pecan cookies, not because I'm hungry for them but because they have been sitting for a while and I hate to waste food.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have made my own Naked Juice Green machine.

What you Need:

1. Dole Pineapple Mango Juice- Comes in a can
2. Welch's White Grape Pomegranite Juice
3. Apple Juice
4. Chlorella- I use 6g

If you are a Spirinella user, I don't know how to spell it, you may add that too

I use the actual green machine bottle to do this. I consider this my own version of green machine, #1 because Naked juice is expensive, and #2 it tastes delicious and very close to the actual recipe although the fruits are a little different. Just try it So....


Directions:

• Fill the bottle half way with applejuice

• 
  Put in your Chlorella. I use 6 grams
  [*]Fill the final half 1/4 Pineapple Mango Juice and 1/4 White Grape Pomegranite
  [*]Shake very well and chill!

I use this mixture everyday now sense finding green machine. I just drink it throughout the day and it tastes delicious. I feel healthy, I'm saving money, and NO MORE FARTS!!!! That's the most important. Let me know if any of you try it! I'm pretty much done with the applesauce unless I run out of juice for a second lol.

You know something I had this exact juice mix when I started and I had no gas passing. Hmmm I may go back......

 

[ttlayli]

Hey ladies! Just checking in.

Been at 4 grams since Weds. Nails are still strong and long. My face is clear and looks really good. My acne post-"redness" scars are fading and my skin has this golden glow to it.

I'm still taking pills; I haven't ran out and I plan to use them up before I start on the SN powder.

 

[CurlyMoo]

50 pages YAY!

 

[kryolnapps]

Actually I have read in a few places that it can be taken before drinking to help with hangovers. One account said that Japanese business men would take them for that purpose before drinking their sake. So based on what I have read there are no interactions but since chlorella is a whole food it shouldn't have any interactions anyway.

That's good to know, thanks! In any case, I will try it out all next week and report back!

Have a great and healty week ladies!

YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could feel how down you were the last time you visited the doc, I'm so happy about this visit, and I'm happy your doc was honest with herself, some would probabaly STILL insist you stop taking it...then after reading such wonderful things about it, start Secretly taking it for HERSELF. Natural remedies are usually a NoNo in modern society, When in my opinion work FARR better than any prescription, man made drugs! |

 

[Lebiya]

I've been reading wonderful things about that Waistlength cocktail drink, Some people racking amazing results, but I have faith that with high dosages of chlorella/spirulina, they will be just as good or maybe even better!

 

[Muse]

Thanks ladies! I plan on telling her of ALL the benefits I am receiving but I'd like to give it a few months because she is kinda skeptical because I have only been taking it for 3 weeks now(only 2 when I got the blood work done). So in a few months she'll see for herself and when she does I am going to suggest that she research this more on her own and possibly prescribe to her other patients.

I also found this:

Abstract Background/Aims: A unicellular algae, Chlorella vulgaris, was used as a biological response modifier. Although hot water extracts of C. vulgaris (CVE) are thought to augment immune responses, the effect of CVE on fatigue and physical stamina has not been studied. Methods: In the present study, we investigated the effect of CVE on forced swimming test and blood biochemical parameters related to fatigue, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine kinase (CK), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose (Glc), and total protein (TP). CVE (0.05-0.15 g/kg/day) was orally administered to mice. Results: After 7 days, the immobility time was decreased in the 0.1- and 0.15-g/kg CVE-treated groups (179 ± 8.3 and 175 ± 2.1 s) in comparison with the control group (223 ± 5.4 s). In addition, the contents of BUN, CK, and LDH in the blood serum were decreased in the CVE-fed group. However, they had no effect on the elevation of Glc and TP level. Conclusions: The results predict a potential benefit of CVE for enhancing immune function and improving physical stamina.

The main parts that I was interested in were the bolded. I have an auto immune disease that specifically attacks my skin, muscles, and joints (not internal organs as well like Lupus). I have been struggling to keep my CK in my muscles down for years now(normal is about 33-160) I am currently at 1494 and it has been as high as 4000+. Without my steroids it just can't be controlled and when it's high that means my muscles are being degenerated and broken down slowly. I was so happy to see this study specifically testing chlorella and it's affects on the CK. Granted the test was done on lab rats but I am still hopeful and happy to see that the CK in the rats decreased. I have switched over to chlorella with CVE in hopes of getting the same result.

To get back on subject I can't wait to straighten my hair in a few months to see how the chlorella affected it!

 

[Muse]

Here's a great pdf that sums up the benefits of chlorella in an easy to read format AND is backed by references from various studies. Nothing that most of us haven't read already but I'd say it's a good handout for those who are interested AND want some scientific proof to back it up. I have saved it to my desktop and will have it handy when someone tells me there's no research to prove these claims. Heck, I may print one up and give it to my doctor!

I have the small Source Naturals Chlorella. It requires 10 small pills a day. So what I decided to do is crush the pills and put it in my drinking water. I tried chewing the pills, but they taste disgusting to me, so I'd rather just add to my water and take it that way.

Thanks for this info Muse. I appreciate all the research that you are doing. In addition I am happy your doctor is responding. I don't know if they will start offering chlorella to patients (or maybe they are selling vitamins so who knows) but at least she will be able to see all the benefits in a few months. I am confident that those tests will only get better. This is such a wondeful food.

I trimmed, Im at 1.5 now.

But I drink the waistlength shake daily and for about 2.5 weeks I drank 2 of those per day. I use OCT/MT mix every other night and I bun everyday. I also worked out every day this month and I have been drinking nettle tea for about a week or so, maybe two?

All of these things combined gave me these results. I really challenged myself to eat healthy so that I could create an internal environment for great beauty results.

After my first week of CHL I saw measureable growth, maybe 1/3 of inch. I posted that observation on this thread. The CHL and working out really changed the efficacy of all the internal and external efforts I used to improve my hair.

It's all good though... 1.5 inches is 4 months to 5 of hair growth for some people who only get a quarter inch a month.... I appreciate your modesty though, it's cute. LOL...

I thought about doing the drink to waist length shake, but earlier in this thread I think I made a post about the main thing in it was the protein, and since CHL was very high in protein, even more in beef, then I figured I"d just stick with this. I'll see what happens before I start that. I stopped MT-ing for a bit, but will pick it back up soon. I did get great growth from it, Ifigure with that and the Chlorella, and my Nettle came yesterday, hopefully I"ll be right behind you.

I, too, am also exercising at least 5 days a week if not more. I'd be very blessed to achieve the success you have! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. This makes me hopeful because I'm practically doing all that you are, except for the shake.

I've been reading wonderful things about that Waistlength cocktail drink, Some people racking amazing results, but I have faith that with high dosages of chlorella/spirulina, they will be just as good or maybe even better!

Cosigning there... I thought the same thing earlier in this thread...
That if the protein was the active ingredient, then we're definitely going to get more of that here since CHL is higher than even beef. I'm not sure if eggs have more protein than beef, anybody know?

I have saved it to my desktop and will have it handy when someone tells me there's no research to prove these claims. Heck, I may print one up and give it to my doctor!

Thanks, I've been wanting something that was pretty comprehensive to give to my mom and other friends...
