Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 The chlorella has been removed from PD if it was there before... Re: Chlorella I would be real careful around chlorella. It's one of hte ingredients in Primal Defense, which did horrible things to my son, including hyperactivity, irritibility, hypoglycemia and dilated pupils for the first time. I was told it was likely the chlorella in the PD that caused the problem, as chlorella may latch onto and move metals around without removing them from the body. I for sure will avoid chlorella for my son. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 What I can remeber of previous discussions the worries are 1. Nobody knows the action of which it works 2. These plants have a high affinity for metals, so who knows if they attracted them from their growing environment, which means you could actually be introducing metals by using them 3. There is no known safe dosing schedule, so you could be moving metals around but not getting them out.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I had all my mercury fillings (9) replaced with composites this Jan-Feb. The dentist gave me a book on mercury detox protocol which involved 15-20 different supplements (vitamins, minerals, chlorella, amino acids). In addition, my naturopath had me take " Detox Max " an oral EDTA supplement. I went to the ND recently for point testing and my mercury reading had gone from 100 to 15 (goal is zero) since it was tested before I began the replacements in January. So, does chlorella work? Hard to say which supplement did the trick, or if all were necessary. My ND swears by the Detox Max. It's ridiculously expensive, and she suggested if possible to eliminate all the other supplements if it helped me afford the Detox Max. (Here's a link to one place selling the DTM: http://www.drkulacz.com/contents/store/19.htm. My ND's price is $40/btl and I managed to talk her into a quantity discount.) Jill Chlorella I saw in one of the post a mention of chlorella. On Dr Mercola's site, I saw where he is advocating using this as a mercury chelator in the system. Have any of you tried this? If so, did it work? What dosage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Try using the new search vehicle: http://onibasu.com/ Type in chlorella in the search box, make sure you put a check in the Autism Mercury box below and hit search. For example: Chlorella does not bind heavy metals much better than you do, so it only stirs them around. It is an observed fact that many people become severely worse using chlorella for " detox. " While chlorella does not bind mercury and other heavy metals any better than your body, it DOES bind them better than rocks, soil and water so there is a substantial risk of GETTING TOXIC from eating contaminated chlorella. I have seen numerous tests where someone suddenly shows up with this or that heavy metal after using chlorella when they did not have any conceivable other source of exposure. " lot analyzed " chlorella isn't safe from the above problem because the lot may be a whole pond full, while the contaminated stuff may be growing on a particular rock so that a few bottles are bad but the whole lot, on average, is OK. One of the specific ones I saw was a woman whose hair bismuth went from not detected to more than +2 standard deviations in a few months while taking chlorella. That particular chlorella was grown in the area of germany where they mine bismuth. She otherwise had no exposure. The lot analysis said the chlorella was fine, but there was no other possible source and she got a LOT of it in her (and got a lot worse taking the chlorella). Chlorella is especially bad for people with high " sulfur. " Chlorella does not in any way assist with or accelerate detox. There is absolutely no benefit to using it, so there is no point in taking the risk of it making you worse. [ ] Chlorella Hi folks Anyone had any sucess with chlorella?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 We also made the mistake of using Chlorella (after foot detox baths) and then again recently and both times my son regressed so I am sure now that it was the chlorella. Does anyone have a good list of sulfur foods to avoid, and now what??? Obviously there has been some redistribution of metals and I am trying to figure out the best way to safely remove them....... > > > > > > I was reading an old post http://onibasu.com/archives/am/377.htm. > > The post states that in regards to chelation " anything involving > > chlorella or large amounts of sulfur foods like eggs, broccoli, > > onions, etc " should never be used. > > > > > > > > >Can someone/anyone explain why " chlorella " should not be used?? > > > > > > > > > Chlorella is like a high sulfur food.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 We use chlorella to " mop up " mercury in the blood and bile. My understanding is that it will bind to what's loose in blood and bile but will not pull, i.e. chelate, from organs. As such, it still has a real place in treatment, since loose mercury is doubly dangerous. Redistribution during chelation is bad news. It's critical that the chlorella be rigorously tested to know that it itself is free of mercury and doesn't bring mercury INTO the body. We use the E-Lyte brand and I believe there is a source in Germany that has been equally stringently tested. Perhaps others, too. All the above is my understanding after considerable reading, but I'm a parent, not a doctor, chemist or nutritionist. I know Andy is opposed to chlorella. It's one of those areas where experts differ and I'm open to changing my mind with more information. However, as a starting point, purity is critical.

To find out that the rumour is false a person can try to trace it back to the source. If there was any truth there would be some scientific documentation. There is none. >but > will not pull, i.e. chelate, from organs.

Yes, loose mercury is double dangerous and redistribution is bad news. That's another good reason not to rely on something like chlorella that doesn't chelate and actually makes most mercury toxic people much worse (check archives and you will find that almost every adult who has used chlorella has reported some negative side effects). It's critical that the > chlorella be rigorously tested to know that it itself is free of mercury and > doesn't bring mercury INTO the body.

It's difficult to find more information about a topic that didn't really have any solid (scientific) information to back it up in the first place. It is the companies who are profiting from the sale of chlorella who need to come up with information and they can't because they have none. This is my understanding from taking a quick look at the research papers that the proponents of chlorella refer to. The idea that chlorella might help with heavy metal removal comes from testing it for that use in aquatic ecosystems. In an aquatic environment, like a pond for example, some mercury does bind to chlorella and would be expected to because the chlorella would contain some single thiol (SH) groups and the water would not compete. The research that has been done with chlorella in aquatic environments is limited. From that someone got the brain wave to use chlorella to remove metals from the human body. The human body is way more complex than and different from an aquatic ecosystem and there are lots and lots of complex molecules that hold on to the mercury, thus the single thiols of chlorella would not be even expected to hold on tightly enough to move mercury much. The brain wave was never really tested it just turned into rumour or gossip that has been perpetuated, mostly by companies that profit from the sale of chlorella, and from them repeating the rumour to gullible practitioners and clients. I was tricked by the hype too shortly after amalgam removal before I started to investigate.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 chlorella does not bind metals for removal. It will not help with redistribution but will cause it. As in Andy's previous reply. It will stir up mercury but will not remove it. There are other things you can do to minimize redistribution that are safer. Such as proper protocol, activated charcoal, a lot of vitamins/minerals. There are not studies showing this stuff is safe or that it chelates anything. I would not warn so cautiously if I had not tried it myself based on misinformation. Thinking I could chelate Hg naturally without using dmsa or dmps or ala. I was wrong. I got very sick on this stuff. I definitely would not give it to my kids. I got the most horrible headache of my life when I took this, brain fog, nauseau, shaky, felt like I might faint at any moment. I felt very sick. Redistribution is a minimal risk when following proper protocol and supplements. Andy is a chemist and has stated that chlorella has NO metal chelating properties. And he is against anyone using it or seeing a doctor who advocates the use of it. > > We use chlorella to " mop up " mercury in the blood and bile.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Implants do not have mercury in them. The heavy metals that are used as a catalyst to solidify the silicone into a gel or polymer shell are most often tin, platinum and perhaps nickel or a few other metals, but not mercury. Our mercury exposures come mostly likely from dental amalgam vapors given off with chewing, and from seafoods contaminated from coastal waters.
