Do you take it daily? How many per day? Does it come in capsules?

I'll check this link.

Wow I am curious as to what is in these Vitamin/Mineral Supplements you have in the US, we would never think to take more than one per day (and best before lunch-time) as some of the vitamins are fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) and what the body does not utilise it tends to be stored into the body especially in the fat and liver and could eventually make your body toxic and can be detrimental to your health whereas water-soluble (B, C) vitamins are the opposite, what the body doesn't use it exits the body through the eliminatory systems e.g. urine (Aus)From: algaelady1 <carol@...>health Sent: Sun, 13 March, 2011 3:34:49 AMSubject: Re: Vitamin mineral replacement

Yes, I take it daily. The amount is up to the individual person - it is food so you can't overdose on it. It just depends on how you feel on whatever amount you take. Personally, I take about 6 capsules a day. Others I know take 15 or more a day. Some people take 2. Since every body is different, their requirements are different. You just experiment.

Yes, it is in veggie capsules.

Oh sorry maybe I should have checked the next lot of emails, you are recommending superfoods such as the Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Chlorella, Spirulina etc., yes they are recommended in large amounts depending on the needs of the person, if you are a pure vegan it is recommended to take the max amount recommended on the packaging, if your diet is a well balanced vegetarian diet then you can take the minimum amount recommended on the packaging as each product is different and each manufacturer makes their products differently in purety, whether it is organic, the amount of constituents etc. Sorry again for jumping in on the previous email.

My original question was what to use to replace regular vitamins and minerals.

Carol suggested blue green algae.

I think it's a good idea, but I can't find Its chemical composition, such as how much vitamin A, B, C, etc. each capsule contains.

I would like to know what others take. Would you please share?

They are not toxic if you are taking them from a plant base. I would never think of taking vitamin A, but instead take beta carotene from carrots. The worst that could happen with too many carrots would be orange skin, but synthetic vitamin A would destroy my liver if I took as much of that as I do beta carotene.

Yeah, and "Dr" Barnett sure seems to accept anything the FDA says. The owners or the green products who had to pay fines because the Gov't determined their products were no good, guess which branch of the government has managed to acquire enough power to decide which products are no good? Yup, you guessed it the FDA, the New IRS, a totalitarian power.

I trust the FDA in two ways.

They or the people at the top, make huge amounts of money, read bribes,

to okay new drugs.

They also can be counted on to drag their heels, when deciding if the

reported side effects of drugs are really bad for us. Look how many

people have been injured or killed by these drugs.

Carol,

Thank you for pointing that out; I did not see that screen. The first thing

that popped out at me too is the very first one called Natural Flavors. I

always suspect MSG to come under that description , but whether it is or

not, what really are those natural flavors. You would think if they were

something good they would be ready to point them out as more nutritious

elements in their product.

Sanr

I would not drink it because of the preservatives it contains. Benzoates

have been shown to contribute to ADHD, so for sure never give this drink to

kids!

Your right, I'm sorry for posting the link in isolation.

But I will tell about my experience with Cell Tech and blue green

algae. I tried taking this " food " for about 6 months, and developed

heart palpitations that kept me awake at night. And for me, it was

like taking speed (others have told me it is like snorting cocaine

with the energy). Once I stopped taking it, the heart issues went

away. And I was not even doing large doses of it. I recently tried bga

again, from another source - again heart palpitations. I don't know of

any other " food " that gives me the same reactions.

I don't think it wise to tell people they can take as much as they

want of this stuff saying it is just " food " , it will not hurt you - I

think that is very bad advice.

Everyone should do their own research and their own experiments with

their bodies, I don't know why someone drug the FDA into this at all.

I just wanted to point out that there is some evidence that this blue

green algae can contain toxins, and there are studies shown that these

toxins could result in liver damage, FDA or not. I realize a lot of

people here don't believe in any studies at all, and that is fine, but

I tend to, for example believe the studies that cigarette smoking can

lead to conditions favorable to lung cancer that such studies have

predicted, there is some value in them.

and won.  They have been in business for 30 years.  And of course they can't

claim it cures anything. It's your body that does the curing, if you give it the

proper nutrition.  And that's what this product is - proper nutrition, with all

the vitamins/minerals/amino acids/protein/chlorophyll/etc. in a balanced form.

It's a food.  Cherries are a food, and their claim is that cherries help with

gout.  But they can't say that, even though it's true.

Interesting you assume I had nobody to work with, or needed a cleanse

- I had been a vegan raw foodist for a few years before trying this

" food " (perhaps such nutrient-rich " food " isn't really needed and the

body rejects it). I will not mention the guides name, but she was a

double diamond at the top of Cell Tech's program, and had been pushing

this stuff for years.

And if there are no toxins in this " food " , then why do these companies

stress that they test for them ? And why are there studies apparently

showing toxins in bga harvested from klamuth lake ?

reaction.  Apparently there was no one to work with you that could guide you in

the proper use.  Some people are just not able to use and metabolize such a

nutrient-dense food,  and need to prepare their bodies with a cleanse first, or

at least some good probiotics and enzymes. I do get a lot of reports of people

getting energy, but it is energy that they are happy to have.
