Phytoplankton

March 6, 2007

Lenore,

It's interesting to see all the algae companies popping up lately.

I've been eating algae for the past 10 years – I get it from the

" first " company who has been in business for 25 years. The one I eat

is a wild-grown fresh-water algae, so it doesn't have to have anything

done to is, like what they do to that Phytoplankton product you are

talking about – it's just straight out of the lake. It's more

mineral-rich than the ocean kind because of minerals in the bottom of

the lake that it feeds off of. The Phytoplankton product is a

cultivated algae in a " sea farm " – grown by man – it is only as good

as what some scientist feeds it. What I eat is wild-grown, living on

more than 35 feet of mineral-rich sediment which is at the bottom of

the lake from which it comes, with nutrients known and unknown. It

has an array of nutrients which is not limited to those minerals that

are artificially added to the growing environment of the Phytoplankton

product. It has " extracted nutrients " – so it is not a " whole food " .

Compare to the one I eat - it is 100% blue green algae – which is a

whole food. Whole foods are always better for the body than isolated

ingredients, or parts of foods. It has bioavailable vitamin B12, and

most all other algae have analog B12 which may cause pernicious anemia

in some people. So there is quite a bit of difference. I'm not

saying that that one is not good, just that " mine " is several steps up

the ladder.

It's strange if you go to their website that the guy on the movie says

this has " eluded man " until now. Too bad he never heard of it before

this! It's been for sale for a quarter of a century. There are a lot

of medical and holistic practitioners that are using it.

There's lots of good products out there, so do your research. Some

questions to ask of the Phytoplankton people before you eat this

stuff: How is this product being derived? Is it solvent extracted,

like most are? If it is water extracted, then how are the two

elements being isolated? At what temperature is it dried at? Is it

organic?

The " whole " is always better than the extract, much more beneficial.

Go wild!

hi

I'm really interested in this. i know what pernicious anaemia is but I don't

know what you mean by 'analog B12' or how it could cause it. I'd be grateful

if you could explain what you mean by this?

thanks

Kirsteen,

Analog B12 means that it's " kind of like " the real B12 - It's like a

wrong-sized and wrong-shaped peg crammed into a hole that's too small

for it. This analog gets stuck at the receptor site and then the

correct peg/B12 can't get through because of what's blocking its way.

Even worse is that the analog B12 can block true B12 coming from other

sources.

A local company has phytoplankton very cheap by the pound. It's

not an MLM product. I'm not a distributor yet but I'm considering

it.

Thoughts?

Anyone with comments on this yet 'new' Cancer product that is highly expensive?

Phytoplankton.

A cousin of mine is interested in it and found it in the newspapers. At about

$80.00 a bottle of 60 capsules, my eyebrows immediately went up.

Kooky,

Below some info I found on phytoplankton.

I'm gonna start taking a bit Iodine (Lugol's sollution) and also the Marine

Phytoplankton (FrequenSea):

http://www.phytoplankton4health.com/preferred_customer.htm

Europeans can order Marine Phytoplankton here:

http://www.naturalwayhealth.co.uk/frequensea.php

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.:

" One of the many advantages of FrequenSea (or Marine Phytoplankton) is that it

is microscopic and don't require a large digestion process or processing by the

liver to get into the system. "

" One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life

(and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains the

nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our diet

(essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and

Omega 6). Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82 (riboflavin), 83

(niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D

(tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton. In

short, it contains almost everything one needs to sustain life. Therefore, it

contains almost everything one needs to restore health by providing the raw

materials to make new cells that function normally. This is particularly true if

one stops putting toxic materials such as artificial sweeteners and trans fats

(partially hydrogenated fats) into our body. "

The best source of organically bound iodine that I know of is non-commercially

harvested seaweeds. The dose is about 5 grams a day or about one ounce per week.

So a pound would last about two months. Radioactive iodine is another factor

that can damage the thyroid so one needs to flood the gland with healthy iodine

from organic sources like seaweed. As you know this is particularly important

for pregnant women as if they have untreated hypothyroidism their, a New England

Journal of Medicine study showed that their children may have lower IQ scores.

The better seaweeds are hand picked and dried and not typically available in

health food stores. They are the absolute best forms of minerals that I am aware

of. Unfortunately the people who produce this usually run small operations, and

do not make their products widely known. Kelp from the health food store may

work, but it really depends on how it was harvested and there is no way to know

that reliably, so I rely on seaweed harvesters who hand pick the seaweed and

reliably dry them free from contaminants.

http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/03/ask_treehugger_3.php

several scientific studies have been performed to measure the amount of arsenic

and other heavy metals present in seaweed. Results from these studies show that

metal contamination of seaweed depends on three major factors, including where

the seaweed was harvested, the type of seaweed, and the specific metal. For

example, in a small Canadian study (Van Netten et al., Science of the Total

Environment, 2000), seaweed grown in waters near British Columbia, Canada

generally had lower amounts of heavy metals, especially of mercury, than

seaweeds grown in Japan and Norway, possibly due to lower amounts of these

metals in British Columbia waters. All seaweed samples – even those grown in

Japan and Norway – however, had metal levels that are generally thought of as

safe to eat.

Hello ,

I assume by reading what you are doing alltogether, that your electrosensitivity

must be over and gone by now.
