Chlorella Benefits

What are the 3 daily VITAL Chlorella health benefits that can you can take all the way into your “health bank”? You might know by now that Chlorella may offer you oodles of health benefits to the point that it sounds “too good to be true”, however decades of widespread scientific research done on Chlorella health benefits can be shorten in the Foreword of “Chlorella Natural Medicinal Algae”, where Dr. David Steenblock, B.S., M. Sc., D.O wrote: ” As you can see from the small number of pages and the large number of references, only the highlights of the scientific research have been included but I would estimate that it includes at least 98% of all the clinically useful information one needs in order to understand and utilize this substance effectively. This book is intended for the intelligent layman and health practitioner looking for answers in regard to preventing and reversing health problems. I hope that this book will serve to educate the public of the benefits of chlorella and that the public discovers its usefulness so that each and everyone may live a long an healthy life” So, in what essential ways Chlorella health benefits can enhance YOU to have a longer and healthier life in today’s challenging context?

For starter, Chlorella offers incredible benefits to remove toxins, heavy metals and a long list of nasty’s that are literally killing us without us realizing it… This may sound controversial, yet unfortunately true: toxins and pollution are almost everywhere todayL.                                          This is taxing ALL our body systems in lethal ways, which is aggravated by daily stress… Our brain and bodies get more and more tired, exhausted, depleted of energy, even at younger ages… The levels of toxins accumulated in our bodies from air, foods, GMOs, water, household items, furniture, EMF and other pollution sources are reaching dangerous levels, and are impacting all of us. Diseases, cancer and allergies are on the rise… Have you ever experience coughing, sneezing or getting swelling, hives for no apparent reasons? Have you had your eyes tearing because they are so dry? That can be symptoms of the pollution that enters your nose, eyes, mouth, ears, skin, etc. It is just literally everywhere, but it is impossible to completely avoid it! These are where the health benefits of Chlorella to gently and daily detoxify the body, at multiple levels, can be so invaluable today. As Dr. David Steenblock stated: “The detoxification capability of chlorella is due to its unique cell wall and the material associated with it. The cell walls of chlorella have been shown to have three layers of which the thicker middle layer contains cellulose microfibrils.” From the clinical studies and medical research that have showed that Chlorella health benefits lead to successfully detoxify toxins such as arsenic, mercury, lead, pesticides, insecticides, cadmium, uranium, P.C.B, radio actives materials etc. from the human body as its cell walls binds to, absorbs these toxics substances and then escorts them safely out of the body, we can assess how important it would be to integrate, into our daily routine, the Chlorella health benefits to detoxify the accumulation of poisons in our body.

Chlorella Health Benefits to Remove Cadmium, Pesticides, Insecticides, P.C.Bs Cadmium, as an example, is suspected of contributing to high blood pressure and atherosclerosis,(30),(31), and to take responsibility in the activation of blood clotting. This is one of the reasons why the air from cigarette smoke, filled with cadmium, is so toxic to second-hand smokers. “The clinical usefulness of Chlorella to detoxify cadmium was shown by a scientific study by Hagino, et.al., (71)who demonstrated increased excretion of cadmium in persons suffering from “Itai-itai (cadmium poisoning). Dr. Ichimura has reported that he gave 8 grams daily of chlorella to patients suffering from pain caused by cadmium poisoning and that he obtained good results. When chlorella was given for 12 days, cadmium in the excretions of the patients increased 3 times over the

baseline. After 24 days of chlorella the cadmium in the urine has decreased 7 times greater than baseline and the pain of the patients was markedly reduced.

As another example, Chlorella has been used to detoxify people suffering from P.C.B. exposure (polychlorbiphenyl). Doctor Ueda of the Kitakyushu City Institute for Environmental Pollution Research in Japan gave 30 patients who suffered from P.C.B. exposure, daily doses of 4-6 grams of Chlorella for a one year period. As a result almost all improved (less tired, better digestion, normal bowel movements). Beside P.C.B., chlordecone (kepone), another very harmful chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide, has been shown to be removed more than twice as fast from the body when Chlorella is taken by mouth.”                                                                                                          “Chlorella Natural Medicinal Algae” by Dr. David Steeblock, B.S., M. Sc., D.O

Chlorella health benefits to detoxify poisons and toxins out of the body are of course contributing to also benefit our immune system; yet, Chlorella triggers unique health benefits for the immune system itself… A hundred years ago only 1 in 30 people died of cancer! Between that time and today, critical factors to health have drastically changed, and sadly enough cancer has become a familiar occurrence, threatening 1 out of 2-3 people! In the province of Ontario, Canada, alone, about 63% of deaths are due to cancer, and hospitals cannot keep up with shortages of beds available to sick people… As said, exposure to environmental toxins from foods, water and air has risen exponentially, and has sadly become a part of our daily biology. Healers generally agree that cancer initially results from a combination of malnutrition and body toxins, leading to cancer cells in the body. But rather than treating a localized tumorous manifestation, a wiser approach is to address the entire body nutritionally and to thoroughly detoxify it in order to have a chance to permanently reverse cancer and other health conditions. Detoxing body toxins is crucial in a cancer-fighting program. Accumulation of body toxins leads to energy blockages and to the deterioration of the immune function. The collapse of the body energetic and organ functions may eventually allow cancer cells to multiply and may begin with allergens in foods or air, with poor food choices and lack of activities. It may result from heavy metals, viral or fungal agents, chlorine, nicotine and other chemical toxins, x-rays, radioactive and electromagnetic elements.                                                                                                                      It may also result from stress, negative attitudes, or any other influence that taxes the immune system beyond its capacity to respond to it. Most healers further agree that any influence which weakens the functional capacity of our liver also increases our risk of cancer. When the liver fails to process all the toxic materials that are brought to it, toxins back up in our immune system, which then loses its capacity to deal with more toxic influences. Cancer represents the most extreme form of nutritional collapse. It starts to develop when oxygen uptake is inhibited and red blood cells deteriorate (15). Therefore, you might be greatly interested to find out that studies have shown that the hot water extract of Chlorella stimulates macrophage, interferon, B cell and T cell production resulting in anti-tumor, anti-bacteria and anti-viral properties and effects.

• T-cells are active against viruses and cancer;
• B-cell are active against fighting bacteria;
• Stimulation of macrophages increases cancer cell destruction as well as removal of foreign proteins and chemicals;
• Interferon is a natural secretion of the body and is thought to be a physiological stimulator of macrophages (2,7,8).

The stimulation of macrophages increases cancer cell destruction as well as the removal of foreign proteins and chemicals. Consequently, these particular Chlorella health benefits play an important role since we have a limited number of macrophages in the body, allowing only so much removal of harmful substances from the blood. This shows the capacity of Chlorella to be able to not only prevent cancer or pre-cancerous conditions, but other diseases associated with viral infections as well. Chlorella health benefits for the human system are also due to its broad nutritional profile, which contributes to make this natural wonder food, a healing and energy food to help prevent or inhibit the spread of cancer. Among all the goodies and nutrients that Chlorella contains, let us refer to the effects of vitamin A and beta-carotene to strengthen the immune system and as an alternative cancer prevention and treatment, which thousands of papers about nutrition have related to. They have shown that people who eat plenty of green food and yellow vegetables have fewer cancers, due to the high vitamin A content of these foods. In addition, when high doses of vitamin A are combined with radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer, the treatment dose of radiation can be reduced by 50% and the patient can tolerate larger doses with fewer side effects (5). Beta-carotene, which Chlorella abounds with, has been shown to destroy cancer cells and to enhance macrophage production of the tumor necrosis factor and of the helper T-cell stimulator, interleukin I. Beta-carotene works synergistically with vitamin E as an antioxidant to stop cancer in its initial stages. Extract of algae were also studied and were shown to be more effective than just beta-carotene, causing the Harvard group to speculate that other factors are to be found in algae that give algae more anti-tumor effects than can be explained by the beta-carotene content alone (9)(2).

By stimulating the body’s immune defenses, Chlorella health benefits provide the body with extra ammunition so it can fight cancer more effectively. However Chlorella is not an anti-cancer treatment in itself but rather is a safe, alternative and potent cancer adjunctive aid, working best with conventional treatments. Studies have indicated that, as a “biological response modifier”, the medicinal alga Chlorella can provide critical health benefits to people weakened by illness, severe treatments and a suppressed immune system, improving their life, without interfering with the effectiveness of conventional cancer therapies, and possibly reducing future reoccurrences of viral infections that have escaped surgery or chemotherapy. Some nutritionists have recommended that people who have cancer take as much as 20 to 30 grams of Chlorella per day, as well as CGF, extract of Chlorella. However, it is strongly recommended that a nutrition-oriented physician monitor the specific dose and application of Chlorella in each individual case.

Chlorella, with to its dense nutritional profile, can bring great health benefits to your daily nutrition as a superfood that contains a superior content of pre-digestible protein (over 65% with Bio Chlorella®) and a wide spectrum of healing nutrients -such as vitamin A, C, E, beta carotene, chlorophyll and C.G.F, to name a few- that could help to prevent and treat a wide spectrum of health conditions. A majority of diseases today are caused by nutrient deficiencies, which affect all of us in this era of mega-commercialization and food processing. For example, at Kyushu University Medical College in Japan, Chlorella was given to five patients who were previously taking conventional medicine, including antibiotics, and who showed resistance to healing. In three cases, wounds healed in less than three months, while two of the more serious cases took about two months to heal. What is the super strength hidden into the health benefits of chlorella? You might have read our What is chlorella page, where we referred to the notable and incredible survival capacity of chlorella. Effectively, under optimum sunlight and fertile conditions, each chlorella cell multiplies into four new cells within 24 hours, which in turn continuously multiply into four new cells daily etc. It is this unusual characteristic of photosynthesis, as well as its composition that give Chlorella its outstanding healing properties. By providing us with most necessary nutrients to live a healthy life Chlorella helps to build a layer of protection for our body’s defense. Also, because of the size of chlorella and our red blood cell as well as the characteristics of chlorophyll and our hemoglobin presenting similarities, clinical observation have demonstrated Chlorella to fortify the blood, giving it the name of “vegetal blood”. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are our nucleic acids. And the high DNA and RNA content of chlorella supplies our body with nucleic acids for cell rejuvenation. Dr. Benjamin S. Frank, author of “Nucleic Acid Therapy in Aging and Degenerative Disease”, found that deteriorating cells can be rejuvenated if they are provided with substances that directly nourish them. Particularly, by helping the body to stay well supplied with nucleic acids, Dr. Frank has found that you can look and feel six to twelve years younger than you actually are!

When using foods high in DNA and RNA content Dr. Benjamin Frank also discovered that health problems such as heart disease, emphysema, arthritis, memory loss, vision deterioration and depression would disappear! Among the testimonials of rejuvenating experiences brought by Chlorella health benefits, clearing of the mind, high level of energy, well-being, clearance of bad breath including morning breath, younger and smoother looking skin, flatter stomach, enhanced sexual energy, have been reported. Find below are some of the volunteers’ comments that were reported following a 6 weeks study at the Aging Research Institute with a dosage of 15 Chlorella tablets per day (2)

• “Helped the vaginal yeast problem”
• “My hands and feet were cold before, but the tablets helped them get warmer”
• “I have decreased cravings for sweets”
• “My hair is no longer dry and has been improved”
• “reduced foods cravings, heart burn, and bad breath”
• “Reduced headaches”
• “Feel more alert, better memory, improved energy”
• “Reduced coating on my tongue”
• “Reduced day sleepiness”
• “Cleaned up the tarter on my teeth” (patient chewed the tablets).
