Guest guest Posted March 2, 1999 Report Share Posted March 2, 1999 Hi , I wanted to ask if you had any information about Chlorella. I had a friend of mine recommend it to me. He has studied nutrition & chinese medicine. I have been taking it for about a month now. I have also been feeling a little fluttering in my thyroid. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else with hypo after taking the supplements. I was hoping it was trying to work again. My friend thought the Chlorella would help with the metal poisoning.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Funny story. About a month ago I got all gung ho to help my progressive healing along and starting taking extra greens (Pure Synergy) which have loads of good stuff like Chlorella. Now, I already have chlorella in my vitamin supplement and you can feel the energy from it when you take it. But, I decided to add. Big rule of thumb when you are treating anything that has you down......GO. SLOWLY. The bottle of greens recommended 2-5 capsules a day to start. The WEBSITE for the product went more in depth and suggested that people new to greens begin with half a capsule. So, in 3 days time I had consumed about 7 capsules when I should have had only 1 1/2. Suffice it to say, while my body was wonderfully oxygenated and purging junk like crazy, my detox symptoms were so bad I wanted to die. LOL!!! Okay, well it's funny now. It wasn't then. It took over a week off of that stuff to get back to feeling relatively normal, again. I will resume taking greens as I think they are wonderful for purifying the body and helping it heal itself, but I will most certainly be going SLLLOOOOWWWWLLLYYY this time around.

Is >there any truth to this? Otherwise, I'm going to start taking it >again. Chinese medicine uses body dampness and/or dryness when accessing a person for acupuncture treatments. They state that some parts of the body can be too damp or too dry indicating blockages in the meridian lines of the body. Note: one part of the body is too damp while another is too dry at the same time. More than likely everyone suffering with candida has blocked meridians. However during natural healing the body produces dampness as part of the process to get rid of toxins, with dryness most often caused by candida toxins making the all cells go rigid. Also during natural healing the body goes backwards through every symptom, illness, injury, etc. - these symptoms can involve dampness and/or dryness as well. I would say go ahead and take the chlorella. Candida sufferers can benefit by acupuncture or acupressure treatments but " trying to " affect relative dampness or dryness is counterproductive to getting rid of the candida.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Bee, is is possible to consume too much chlorella? I always take 3 Tbs a day, but sometimes it feels so healing that I end up taking more like 5... jne __________________________________ Celebrate 's 10th Birthday!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Dear Jeanne, More is not necessarily better. Sometimes taking more of something throws off the balance of other nutrients. It's probably best to have no more than 3 tablespoons per day, except for short periods of time. If you take more than you need your body will also just get rid of it, which is a waste as well. You could muscle test it to be sure. Do you have liquid chlorella, or is it liquid chlorophyll?

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Dear Barb, Chlorella in capsule form is great! If you can afford it you won't need liquid chlorophyll.

Always start on anything at the lowest dose (sometimes even lower) and gradually increase them so you do not overwhelm your body and create too many healing symptoms at one time.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 In fact, Chlorella itself is often contaminated with mercury. ~Inga On Dec 27, 2006, at 4:56 AM, lkpetrolino wrote: Yes, for me, it is too much detox.

You do not need to take Chlorella on this program; the high " good " fats are the very best way to get rid of, chelate out, heavy metals. Also Chlorella has caused some people problems, so I do not recommend it. > > I also recently tried switching from a natural toothpaste that > contained flouride to one that doesn't called Tea Tree. It made me > sicker each time i used it. Any specific brands recommeneded from other extremely sensitive people like myself? ==>I haven't been able to find a good toothpaste without fluoride because they still contain glycerine which clings to the teeth is hard to remove. The best alternative is baking soda and sea salt mixed together and made into a paste with a little water or hydrogen peroxide (H202). Or just use mix 50/50 with water, which I also use for soaking my dentures. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 If your son has mercury poisoning taking chlorella would be the best way to make his situation substantially worse.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I buy Source Naturals Chlorella for about $13.50 for 300 tabs (30 day supply) at Whole Foods. There are probably a lot of health food stores that carry that brand in the U.S. > Also, are you familiar with Chlorella?? > What is your opinion of that? I have used it an think it works, a bit. It also seems relatively safe to me and probably works a bit better than alternatives like spirulina, and much safer than chemical alternatives like Questran (Cholestyramine). Some people cannot tolerate chlorella though, they get some kind of nausea / allergic reaction (?). You need a reliable supplier, because chlorella can accumulate endotoxins (e.g. with wrong growing conditions). Prices often seem outrageous to me, there is like 10x or even 50x price difference between various products on a weight basis, and the most expensive ones are not necessarily the best. I'm now using Yaeyama chlorella from Jarrow, good price and seems OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 try www.swansonvitamins.com their Kyoto Broken Cell Wall Chlorella prices are the best I've found. (their 300 tablet size is about half of what you paid) And quality is NEVER an issue. I get ALL my lyme protocol supplements from them-- not only do they carry their own brand-- but many brands you find in health food stores (NOW, Planetary Herbals, Source Naturals, etc)--- JUST CHEAPER! I use Planetary Herbals Andrographis from Swanson's-- and all other herbs/supplements (knotweed/resveratol, cat's claw, eleuthero, sarsaparilla/smilax, etc.-- there's not much they DON'T carry)-- I use the Swanson's brand. I have not been dissatisfied.... I can get my andrographis for less than HALF of what the local Vitamin Shoppe charges...
