Chlorella, A Super Green Food

There are many green foods on the market, spirulina, alfalfa, kelp, and green barley just to name a few. Chlorella seems to have been overlooked for not only its nutrition value but also cleansing and healing as well. We all want to get the most for our nutrition dollar. It seems this remarkable green food has been used for common ailments like maintaining healthy blood pressure, keeping cholesterol within normal range, cleansing the bowel and the body in general of toxins, sleeping well, increased energy, better skin tone, stronger nails, flexible joints, weight loss, thicker hair and better digestion. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Sound too good to be true? It’s time to check out this remarkable food.

What is chlorella? Chlorella is blue - green algae grown under special conditions which make it extremely rich in nutrients. It is amazing what has been discovered about chlorella and other blue-green algaes. Oxygen has been shown to be better utilized by the body. The body chemistry seems to become balanced. Viruses become less of a problem. Chlorella is rich in essential amino acids the building blocks of the body. Tests show the lungs are protected from air pollution. Vitamin C, vitamin K, choline, pantothenic acid, biotin, iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc are some of the nutrients available in chlorella. It has a detoxifying effect on all organs and tissues of the body. A Japanese study with patients exposed to chemicals showed that one year later the patients had improved dramatically after taking chlorella for one year. Studies done on animals have shown antitumor activity since chlorella has also been shown to increase interferon production in the body.

Ten years ago in my journey to become a natural healer, I studied Dr. Bernard Jensen’s book. Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management written by Dr. Jensen opened my eyes to how important it is to keep the bowel cleaned out on a regular basis. Dr Jensen writes how chlorella moves out waste from the bowel even if it is embedded in pockets of the bowel. These tablets not only contain chlorophyll to cleanse, but fiber to help move waste out. He had many patients revive their health as a result of using his methods. I highly recommend reading this book. He recommends certain supplements of quality. If chlorella is not harvested and grown under the proper conditions it will not be as beneficial.

Dr. Michael E. Rosenbaum endorses chlorella, also. Dr. Rosenbaum has been using chlorella for over twenty five years. He is author of several books including Super Supplements and The Natural Way to Energize & Revitalize Your Life. He states that chlorella is a super food which contains over twenty nutrients your body needs to cleanse your system and promote your body’s natural defense system. It seems Dr. Rosenbaum, earlier in his practice, had suffered from illness, stress and being overworked. He met Mr. George Higashida and Mr. Hideo Nakayama from a well known company which makes a quality chlorella. These two remarkable Japanese gentlemen came from Japan to tell American doctors about super chlorella over twenty five years ago. As you can see it took a long time to get the word out. Dr. Rosenbaum got well as a result of using this food and has been telling people about it ever since.

Are you a low carbohydrate dieter? Chlorella may be just the food to help you not only get your nutrition plus a good quality protein. The protein from this vegetable source is said to be better than meats or soy. Ounce for ounce you will find more protein in chlorella. It is sixty percent protein by weight. Chlorella helps with sweet cravings as well.

What have you got to loose? This seems to be a tried and proven supplemental food which even doctors are recommending to their patients. Of course there are always exceptions so check with your health care professional to be sure.
