How about taking Chlorella?

[Muse]

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?

Yay, it's working! Most times, like Mariofmagdal said, I take it 30 minutes before a meal but sometimes I have taken it without eating at all. Come to think of it I don't know the exact reasoning behind them saying to take it with a meal. Since it's a whole food I don't see why it would upset a person's stomach if taken without food. I have read that it helps the body absord the nutrients better from the food you eat and abosrbs any toxins that may be in the food, so maybe that's why not quite sure.

I'm entering my second week of taking CHL. Yesterday I forgot to take my second dose and couldn't figure out why I was so beat from my busy day, then I realised what I'd done

I did fine last week at 3g, I've been very gassy in the evenings but that's all in terms of cons. I feel energised every day, getting up is no longer a fight, and I'm noticing positive changes a few other areas too.

I'm upping to 6g today, come on CHL!!

PS - Still drinking 2/3 cups of organic nettle tea each day - grow hair, grow!

I take mine in the morning before my workout. Before consuming any food (well I do drink aloe juice it is only 1 cup).

Hi everyone! I am checking in for the week. Last week I increased to 6g/20 pills. I had a few headaches but, I just increased my water! I have my daughter ( she is 4) taking 1 a day! Sleeping like a baby! Here is my routine: before my workout I take, 20pills/6g with 1 tbs spirulina powder. After my workout I drink an egg shake which consists of the following: 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp pomegranate extract, 2 tbs wheat germ 3/4c fat free milk and 1/4c of goji juice. It is actually yummy! I use it in place of breakfast. My skin is glowing! My weight is slowly coming down. The next time I wash my hair I will let you know my results but, I do not measure. I can tell you the last time I washed my hair (last Monday) the few hairs that washed down the drain, did not look like mine! lol! Oh also welcome newest chl people! Sorry so long. Mondays are usually the days I report my results thus far! Oh yea I also have my DH taking it as well. I started him on 2 a day.

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 was taking both until I ran out. I haven't and most likely won't reorder ALA.

Wow, you sound like my twin. I am taking ALA with the CHL and I am having wonderful results. I have never ending acne so I thought the combo would be good. I have been taking them both equally since Feb. 1 and I am seeing some good improvement. It's amazing, I feel bad because whenever I am at home I walk to the mirror more often now, just to see the improvement in my face. I also tried applying it over night (chlorella) to my face. I do think that it may help me lighten up some of the scarring from acne. Looking at your pic you even seem to be about the same complexion as I am. I am going to continue to use it topically, and I'll report back on the results.

I'm still having 3 BM's a day. Is that normal? I'm still taking aloe to push everything out. I've spent so many years being backed up. YUCK!! To think all that was just sitting there and rotting inside of me. No wonder I had bad elimination. That toxic buildup probably shut everything down.

Is anyone else going 3 or more times a day?

Maybe my system is doing a heavy duty cleaning and will adjust itself.
No complaints on my end. It just feels good to gooooo.

 

[onelove08]

I have never been too regular. I go max twice a day. A better BM.

I am still taking ALA. This is my second bottle. Every time I go into the grocery stores, I get these young girls talking to me. I just turned 31, so sometimes I have no clue what they are talking about, I just smile!

JUST GOT MY ORDER TODAY!!!!! yayayyyyyyyy! I am so excited... I am officially in!

Thanks for the answer! So I'm guessing it didn't do much for you?

please do! I ordered the pills so I wanna know if I should order the powder for topical application. I take pics to be more objective about my skin improvements, because I always feel like my skin looks like crap. I've been taking ALA for two weeks only, so I can't really say it is working, although my skin is free of pimples today and I noticed that the scars are starting to fade a little faster. I don't know...it could also be due to the fact that I am now using Tea Tree Oil cleansing pads by Desert Essence... We'll see next month if the ALA can withstand the test of the PMS... Last week I had cysts all over the right side of my face and little pimples on the left and on my forehead... My cysts were itchy, but not painful. I haven't had cysts like that for years, but they weren't itchy in the past so I was wondering if I wasn't allergic to something...erplexed
I should get my chlorella in a couple of days, so I'll finally be on the CHL bandwagon!

Your 31 is the new 21... I really hope the ALA will help my skin.

I only took one bottle of ALA, but I think the egg shake had already made a difference in my skin. I decided not to purchase again, because I think CHL will do the rest. I'm trying to eliminate as many supplements as I can.

I'm applying a topical version of CHL to my skin, so we'll see how that goes.

I average 1 or 2 a day, I'm happy that everything is moving properly for you now Yodie - I had a friend who used to only have BM's 1ce a week, sometimes 1ce in 2 weeks - when she changed her diet it brought about a radical change in her regularity. The combo of aloe and CHL seems to be doing it for you too!

Thanks. I'm glad your friend is regular too. I made the efforts to eat clean. I ate tons of salads, fruit, nothing fried, no red meat and drank gallons of water, etc. and I still only had maybe one BM a week. This was pretty much how I ate, so it was my norm.

I checked in and had a sigmoidoscopy (sp). They said everything looked fine, but still, all of that food was just sitting there. Even after eating two servings of fiber one cereal per day (11 or 13 g's of fiber per serving), I'd have maybe 3 tiny BM's per week.


Either way, I'm grateful. CHL and Aloe are working great for me. I will most likely always keep Aloe on hand.

My beloved CHL.

I know what you mean. I am on the auto ship program, when my supplies came before my pills ran out, it was a great reminder that I am doing this for life!

Hey Yodie, I think that ought to be our signature slogan "Go Green Girls"! Sounds good to me!

 

[mariofmagdal]

Hey Yodie, I think that ought to be our signature slogan "Go Green Girls"! Sounds good to me!

That's exactly how I refer to it as "Going Green". I tell all family and friends that I am "going green", and that opens the door for discussion.

Yesterday I applied it to my face for acne issues and to my hands for some recent cat scratches. Actually just taking CHL orally has improved the skin on my face. It's softer, smoother and my acne is clearing up.

I think it took most of us a couple of days to go green. Sounds like you're backed up, so you may or may not have a movement right away. Drink plenty of water. I take aloe to help get things moving. Some of the other ladies take Magnesium Caltrate (I think that's what it's called.)

Enjoy the ride!!

Ok Yodie you are my BM idol. My body wants to have more frequent BM's but it only pushes out 1 a day. I took 2 tsp of Magnesium Sulfate desolved in water, digusting taste. It gave me sharp cramps and very loose stool. I won't be taking it again. Can you tell me what paticular brand of Aloe juice that you are taking.

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

Thanks! I'm hoping the chl will help me clear up my skin. How long have you been taking chl?
I tasted one of my pills and it does have a fishy + grassy taste, but it's not bad.
