How about taking Chlorella?

[Muse]

Aw thank you dear

My pleasure. He did respond to my last email:

Thank you for your e-mail.

If you give me your mailing address, I can send some written information for you. Don't worry, I welcome any questions you may have. When I spoke with the Category Manager at Vitamin Shoppe, he know Chlorenergy is the best, so he took it starting this year for 400 stores nationwide.

CVE simply stands for Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, while the exract is usually called CGF (Chlorella Gowth Factor). CVE is basically the same thing as CGF, but our sicentists in Japan want to call it simply CVE, because CGF (or CVE) is consisting of RNA/DNA derivative with gylco-proteins, polysacchride, and is not only for growth factor, but is also for adjusting immune functions(keeping homeostatic conditions) as well. So, we sometime call it CGF-Plus. CVE(or CGF-Plus) within Chlorenergy is approximately 25% of it entire weight in its green tablets. So, it's poweful. As you said, you purchased Dr. Kanno's book, the foreword of which is made by Dr. Klinghardt, Ph.D.M.D., who is the expert in neural therapy, and an advocate for heavey metal detoxifcation, and on the back, there is the endorsement by Dr. Colbert who has been using Chlorenergy for many years. Also, you may visit www.JeffHarrisND.com, and click "Heavy Metal", then you'll see the image of Chlorenergy. And you'll find him recommending that "Chloenergy is the best chlorella he has ever found in 13 years of his pract
ice". Dr. Harris (he is mentor to Dr. Klinghardt) uses Chloenergy for his patients for may years.

Thank you again for your interest in Chlorenergy.

So after all the emailing I would have to say that Yaeyama chlorella is good stuff too. I appreciate the fact that he didn't bash their chlorella. I am guessing that Chlorenergy just had the money to fund scientific experiments on their chlorella. I have decided to stick with these tabs for a few months. He didn't answer my question about thme making a powder so I guess they aren't planning on it.

 

[kitamay]

I am close to running out of CHL and it's been less than a month. I have the SN 16oz powder. I am taking 9grams a day and my niece is taking 1-2 tsp a day. I'm thinking of getting the Jarrow brand that has 2.20 pounds of CHL powder so that it will last longer than a month. Jarrow brand users how are you doing with yours? What results are you seeing?

I use Jarrow, I have been using the powder, and started with the pills. I seem to be getting the same results as everyone else right now. So I guess I am doing just fine.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Ok here ya go:





Yaeyama is of vulgaris as well, that is why, when I met Yaeyama's president at shows, they are appreciative of them using Chlorenergy's (CK-5) research/studies as if it was done on their own product. In reality, they don't have research/studies on their product(s), maybe just a few research.

So yaeyama is from the same strain of chlorella? Source Naturals is yaeyama. I may try the other brand but it's good to know they're the same strain. Of course he's not going to mention the quality of that brand, but it seems to be really good and I trust it (babydollhair has used it for a while too). However, if I run out I may get the other just to compare, but at least they are from the same strain.

 

[mariofmagdal]

Chlorenergy vs Yaeyama, just brand names given by their manufactuer/suppliers. One claims to have done more/most research to find the same information that is already out there. Since we did our own research we can charge more? Okay, fine, but that is why I chose Earthrise in the first place because they have research, their brand of chlorella is Yaeyama from Japan and they are a specialty company that otherwise manufactures their products. (Spirulina) Just my take on it. I don't want a hyped product from a company that charges more for the same.

Actually as I understand it ALL Yaeyama comes from the same source ( from one manufacturer on an island in Japan). Earthrise will have the exact same chlorella as Source Naturals because those two places are just two different distributors of the same Yaeyama chlorella. It is good not to fall for any hype from any company but I just tend to believe this one because they have studies with amazing results using their chlorella that are published in VERY reputable journals (I work at a chemical research and development company and I deal with scientific references and journals on a daily basis so I recognize the journal names quickly). He didn't say that Yaeyama was bad he just said some of the studies they quote are actually done with Chlorenegy's chlorella. He didn't actually say Yaeyama was low quality or anything just said he didn't know much about it besides it was vulgaris species. That's why I said I liked the fact that he didn't bash it.

I am by no means telling everyone to go out and get this brand (in fact I incourage everyone to stick to what's working for them) I just found some info and thought I'd bring it back here for anyone to use (or not) how they see fit. If there is something cheaper that is just as good I definately say stick with that.

HELLLLLOOOOOOO Everybody

I have finally stop LURKING "since the past 3 years almost", I decided to purchase the subscription just to be able to see LD pictures of her hair growth. I have been taking the SN Powder since 2/6/09 and I started at 6g off top, stayed there for about a week and moved up another 3g for about another week and finally came to stop at 12g. While at 12g I stayed nauseates(hope I spelled it correct) the actual smell of SN Powder making me sick, and then this past week I did not take any(very long and bad week for my family). The things that I have notice with SN is first becoming regular and a sense of well being and energy and a complete loss of appetite(I have to make myself eat) along with a almost total dislike of candy(which I LOVE candy). My nails have always grown fast and strong but my hair (according to my Hubby and sisters is growing fast) but I will try to keep better measurement of growth. I recently relaxed my hair on 02/22/09 with ORS No-Lye and olive oil/coconut oil in the relaxer. I wil be using Vatika Coconut oil & Emu oil on my scalp directly and Silken Child Silk Moisturizing Creme. My current hair length is between 2 to 3 inches pass SL. For detox symptons I was bloated and then regular, I had one or two bumps on my face and I also experience the hot/cold chill once or twice. I am looking for at least one inch a month, longer eyelashes, and possible correction of my toenails that have a fungus which turned them dark. I am trying to get my Hubby to drink it but that will be an challenge to say the least.

Question: Since the smell itself is making me sick, how do I cover the smell? I have tried applesause and that was a mess, Mott apple juice was okay, Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness is good but tht juice itslef is so expensive for such a small bottle, and currenlty I am mixing it with Cranberry/Grape which taste pretty good but I still smell the CHL.

Please advise, Sorry for the rambling I am just so EXCITED!!!!!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

LOL, lucky you. My bf just bought me a videogame and went to the bar with his buddies. I can tell you this Street Fighter 4 game sucks when you have to play it alone

I do want to see that so give us a thumbs up or down tomorrow. Have fun!

Thumbs way up btw! (movie slumdog millionaire)

 

[luckiestdestiny]

LD, I've done the little braid on my nape. Thanks so much! I know this will work...
______________________________________________________________________


Update:

For those who want to know about using this in lotions and creams. I stated earlier that I added 3 grams of CHL to my Jergen's firming body lotion and was using on my stomach and chest where I had severe cracking and burning from eczema. It has healed rather nicely and my skin is smooth and pain free, which usually isn't hte case. Sometimes I can't sleep well from all the scratching and discomfort I often get, and must also sleep without PJ's because they also irritate. I can't get over how smooth and healed and painfree my skin is right now. I'ts just amazing.. .. Just thought you all should know.... I'm excited and looking forward to using this daily.

This stuff really does work, and the study showed it goes down to the epidermis which even other products can't penetrate. So it heals all the way down into the layers of the skin, and of course skin absorbs anything it comes in contact with, but chlorella is taken down to the epidermis. Not suprised you noticed the healing powers.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

I hope this isn't rude to ask.
BUT

How much did you all pay for your Source Naturals 16 oz tub of Yaeyama Chlorella Powder?

Is $30 a good deal or a rip off?

Thanks!

$30 is good, I saw some places offering $28-$32 and some even more. That is the low end. So you're good to go.

Welcome McQuay! The only other thing I could suggest is two things: Take bolthouse, and water it down to make a spritz and then add the chlorella if it does the job. That way you can stretch it out longer. That's what I do whenever I take juice anyways. Or you could just take smaller amounts throughout the day. You did not say you noticed the smell before 12 gms, so maybe if you divide it in two, you will be okay as the juice will consume the smell at smaller amounts for you. I used to just hold my nose and chug but now the smell and taste doesn't bother me. I could drink it with water (I know it sounds crazy but it's true). You may just also be nauseous as one of your detox symptoms. You didn't have that before you increased to 12. So you could stay there until it subsides, or if it's too much cut back for a couple weeks until your body slowly adjusts and then increase a little (if you're using powder and each teaspoon is three grams maybe if you drop to 9 and wait the appropriate time to increase then only do one third a teaspoon so that's ten grams, and then the next weektwo thirds at eleven and so on until your body adjusts)

 

[Whimsy]

That's about right. Most of us get that size and brand from Vitacost and it's $28.55 there.

Great! Thank you.
I'm ordering on amazon, it's free shipping and $30.

 

[lacying]

Hellooo Chlorella Fam!! Thanks LD for starting this great topic! Have been taking SN pills for 3wks now. I started really low at 200mg now am 6g.
Benefits:
My skin is looking super fab
I have bountless energy (when am not detoxing)
Lost 4pounds so far
and yes the hair growth aint a joke! I had my braids done last week and it looks like have had it for more than a mth! (aint complaining)

Ok the not so good benefits are the detoxing symptoms. Boy, is it hitting me hard or what! I have aches and pains all over my body as if I had been in a fight with a sumo wrestler. Now am down with flu like symptoms.( my body must be really acidic). I know it will pass just cant wait to be back to my normal self without all this aches.
But you know what, am glad its all coming out of my system, rather than having complications in the long run.
Am so super excited to be on this ride with y'all!

 

[Blaque*Angel]

Hey there,

I ordered 2 of the Source Naturals, Yaeyama Chlorella, and one of the tablet form plus some berry flavored garden greens juice and the shipping was free which is not bad at all. I looove iherb because they get the stuff to ya! Usually it takes anywhere from 4 days to a wk to get my order from them. Glad to see somebody with me over the water!

Thanks dear

do customs add their charge on to it?

As i do not want to place an order and get "stamped" by customs

 

[Blaque*Angel]

who else has noticed their bones feeling weird? ooh my bones have cricked and it actually hurts i wonder,are they getting stronger??

 

[McQuay30]

Thanks LD,

I will try splitting up the doses and see how that works along with watering it down more. I got my Hubby to try some and he says the taste was not too bad but the smell could be enough to deter a person.

You did better than me. I bought the 64oz Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness home, and he said any chance I had of winning him over, left when he saw that big bottle!

Welcome McQuay30 and Lacying.

 

[yodie]

I've been noticing the springiness in my hair too. I love it.

You ladies gave me an idea today. My nape is my challenged area. So, I mixed CHL with a little MN and applied it to my nape. I'll try this out and see how it works.

I will tell him that, I'll never ever forget the day that he told me his poop was green!! hahahaha and he was happy about it.

He takes the "CHL" 3 times per day with every meal. That helps him to remember, so he's splitting his dose out through the day which I believe is a good idea. I wan the CHL floating through my system at all hours if possible. I'm going to start taking a small dose at bedtime. When I remember to do that, I have great stamina the next day. The body works on rebuilding itself at night. I think a nighttime dose can really help with that process. That's my theory.

I washed my hair last night and fell in love! My hair is so soft but strong, so springy and dare I say it was shinny with no product at all!

I will take a picture of it before I braid it up next wash. My pig tails are getting thicker, and I have all kinds of curly new growth around my edges. Those little curlies don't want to lay down they are like pretty little springs. I don't even really need a comb to detangle either, my hair is very soft.

I am trying to get on the nettle tea kick. I only remember to drink it on wash night once per week because I make my spritz. How can I get the tea habit going? Perhaps if I spritz my hair daily that will make me make more tea....:scratchch I'm trying to get a new good habit to stick.


The old dog new trick routine...:scratchch

 

[mariofmagdal]

I decided not to post hair pics until next month, but after my wash today, I know I have had some growth. My hair feels great, and I too notice that extra springy-ness others have mentioned.

My nails are so long, I am gonna have to give them a trim soon, I have way too many typos at work! I love them though, they are so healthy looking and I get so many compliments.

 

[deusa80]

So I know this is a really long thread and this probably has been asked before(I will go back and try to read through....but it will take a while), but when you took chlorella how soon did you start to feel the detox effects? Right away? A few hours later? Day's later?

I took 3 tablets(200mg each) of yaeyama chlorella early this afternoon, and a few hours later I started to feel sluggish/tired, some aching, just an overall weird feeling. I can only assume it's that because I haven't taken anything else today.
I figured I'd start out slow, as I said I took 3 tablets and the serving size is 10 tablets and that equals 2g. Was that too much?

Hmm...600mg definitely shouldn't have caused you problems only hours later but who knows maybe your body metabolizes chlorella quickly. You started out at a very safe dose, most people have started out with 1-3grams. I would ride it out for a few days at the same dose and see how you feel. This sounds like normal detoxing, now if you start feeling nauseated, constipated, or suffer from diharrea then you want to drop to a lower dose. It took me about 2 days, I believe, before I felt detox symtoms. HTH!

 

[Muse]

I am so loving this appetite control! It's really stepping up. I went out to a Mexican restaurant and had fajitas for dinner. I was starving by then because all I had to eat the whole day was some raisin bread and a banana for breakfast. Before the food was served I had some chips and salsa and when the fajitas came I had one and was done. My bf was like "What?" when I said I was done. Normally I can chow down and put him to shame but I just wrapped up the rest and ate it today for lunch. I actually went to the bathroom TWICE today.

Now I am a strong believer in the power of chlorella but sometimes it's got me thinking this is too good to be true! But I know it's not because everytime I check this thread someone is experiencing something great. I love it!

Thanks for responding. I'll give it a few days and see how I feel. Hopefully this feeling doesn't last too long.

I agree that you should ride it out. Maybe drink more water and take with food to see if that helps.

 

[McQuay30]

LD,

It worked with watering it down more, so now I will take six in the morning and six at night.

Yay! I knew it. It's too thick normally anyways so i makes it more like a regular drink anyways. Glad I could help.

As I'm sitting here reading your piece, I just realized that I just had to make myself eat to take the last chlorella tablet for today. I just started this morning with the tablets. Wow, I guess it is really working faster than I expected.

The reason I ate is because it says to take with meals. Is anyone taking it without eating?

 

[danigurl18]

I've been taking 3 pills for a while without any problems so tomorrow I'm going to go with 4!

 

[MrsMe]

Is anybody taking ALA with the CHL? Have any of you tried to apply the CHL directly to their face, particularly if you have acne? I know LD tried it on her hand and it is improving the scar, so I'm wondering if it wouldn't be an option for my never-ending acne....

I take mine 30 min or so before eating, and at bedtime w/out eating but with Bolthouse Smoothie-Green Goodness.

 

[yodie]

Made a paste and applied to my face tonight. We'll see.
