Chlorella -
A Detoxifying Superfood

I recommend chlorella to all of my patients. Its food value alone qualifies it as a major superfood, but that’s just part of the story.

It contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant; it is a highly concentrated (45%) complete protein with higher quantities of RNA / DNA than any other natural source; and it is an abundant source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential fatty acids.

But there is something else in it that scientists believe accounts for the remarkable therapeutic benefits of this algae - a phytochemical called Chlorella Growth Factor (or “CGF”) - that exists nowhere else.

Natural doctors have been saying for centuries that whole foods, grown naturally and organically, have healing qualities that cannot be replicated in a laboratory. Vitamin and mineral supplements are no match for them. This algae is the living proof of it.

Animal studies, have demonstrated that CGF significantly increases anti-tumor activity, improves the performance of the immune system, normalizes blood pressure, reduces liver fat, and helps healing after exposure to radiation.

In humans, most of the focus has been on its benefits in heavy metal detoxification.

The presence in our bodies of mercury, lead, cadmium, DDT and other dangerous poisons is often a precursor to serious health challenges. These toxins impede the body’s ability to cure itself and, if left in place, can set us up for long-term illness.

Fortunately, chlorella has been found to be a highly effective detoxifier. In fact, this may be its most outstanding feature. It can remove mercury and other heavy metals from the brain as well as the other cells of the body, and as it does so, it enhances the immune system, improves digestion, and cleanses the colon.

This green superfood is the single most popular supplement in Japan, one of the healthiest industrial societies, where interest is mainly concentrated on its detoxifying abilities. It is so easy to digest that Japanese pediatricians often recommend it for children.

There are reports of this algae relieving conditions as varied as Alzheimer’s, hypertension, diabetes, anemia, cancer, hypoglycemia, arthritis, gout, constipation, and gastric ulcers.

Natural cures work at a deep level to mobilize our life force in the direction of health and vitality. They are not disease-specific, so it is not surprising that a superfood like this would affect us in so many different beneficial ways when imbalances and toxicities express themselves as symptoms.

I use chlorella-pyrenoidosa, a fresh-water micro-algae that is cultured in pure water. It is grown in natural sunlight so that it remains a wholesome food. This is the premium grade. Rapid, low-temperature spray drying is used to crack the individual algae cell walls. This process preserves the phytonutrients and RNA / DNA values and ensures maximum absorbability. Freeze-dried or pasteurized products are not recommended.

A maintenance dosage of tablets or liquid extract for those in good health is 15 tablets (3g) or 30 ml. per day. Those with severe conditions may increase the daily dosage as much as three times, depending on their specific needs.

I recommend this superfood as a daily part of my patients’ diets. I have included it in my Super-Kamut formula to make sure they get some of it every day, but for patients with serious heavy metal toxicity, additional supplementation is called for. As a food, it is almost impossible to take too much of it.
