Defensive Cancer Actions - Super Greens Chlorella & Spirulina

I know I've touched on this before but find it vitally important to again reiterate and perhaps more fully explain the reasons you should be adding these to your arsenal of cancer fighting steps.Let's explain what Spirulina is and what it does:Spirulina is a blue-green algae found in most ponds and lakes. It has been consumed for years by Mexicans, African and Asian people. It is considered a complete protein because well over half of it is consisted of amino acids. It is also a rich source of the complex B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, carotenoids, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). Because it stimulates the immune system, it may have antiviral and anticancer effects.It was shown in Russia that children exposed to the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, and whose bone marrow was damaged, their immune system was greatly boosted by Spirulina.In a study of 87 people who chewed tobacco with signs of precancerous mouth lesions, patients were either given Spirulina or a placebo. Lesions in the Spirulina group were more likely to disappear.There are numerous other studies that have been done some of which are reported here:HEALJust by doing a search on the internet, you will find many, many more positive study results on this super food.Now on to Chlorella, which like Spirulina, is a blue-green algae found in fresh water. It is a powerful de-toxifier, as well as an immune boosting supplement. I'm not able to say it better than some experts, so I'll just post their comments here:"Chlorella. A freshwater single-celled green algae consisting of 60 percent protein, high levels of chlorophyll and vitamin A, and dozens of other nutrients. It's being researched as both an antiaging supplement and a cancer preventive."Power Aging by Null, page 149"I also recommend the use of chlorella and/or Green Magma as a twice-daily green drink. Chlorella is a highly nutritive one-celled blue-green algae that is a powerful immune system stimulant that has also demonstrated anti-tumor effects. Research has shown that chlorella is able to repair the DNA system and increase serum albumin levels."Treating Cancer With Herbs by Tierra ND, page 304"A chlorella extract has demonstrated antitumor and antime-tastatic effects in animal experiments. Chlorella has shown some experimental antiatherogenic activity and some radio-protective and chemo-detoxifying effects. It has shown some preliminary benefit in immune function and in some with fibromyalgia."PDR For Nutritional Supplements by Sheldon Saul Hendle and Rorvik, page 89"In 1990, a study on chlorella was performed at the Medical College of Virginia. Fifteen glioblastoma patients were administered 20 grams of powdered chlorella and 150 ml of liquid chlorella, in some cases combined with standard chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. There was a significant increase in health and immune status immediately, and a striking 40 percent two-year survival rate was reflected in follow-up studies. This is extremely rare for this type of tumor, which normally might yield a 10 percent survival rate after two years."Herbal Medicine Healing Cancer by R Yance Jr, page 232Chlorella has been shown, with regular use, to detoxify the body, regulate blood sugar, normalize blood pressure, build your immune system, clean the blood stream, protect the liver, help heal wounds faster...on and on and on. That's why it's called a super-green food!Anyone who is facing cancer or has a history of cancer in their family, should be implementing these two super-greens into their diet immediately. Even if you go the conventional medicine route, adding these to your treatment can only increase your odds for a better outcome. It's well known that chemo and radiation destroy the immune system, so here are two inexpensive ways to boost that system. The sooner you get these into your system, the better!
