Blue-Green Algae: A Powerful Immune Enhancer

[lftipton]

Hey everyone hope your doing well today,
I added blue-green algae to my diet last week. You can buy it in bulk at the healthfood store. I wasn't aware of how potent a supplement it is until I found the following information this morning:
Research is being intensified to discover new ways to strengthen and stimulate the immune system. It was recently reported that a certain species of wild-crafted blue-green algae has a unique stimulating action on the immune system. Its scientific name is Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, and it is harvested in Klamath Lake, Oregon. A highly potent and digestible food, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is high in protein and micronutrients. It contains a complete range of vitamins, essential amino acids, and naturally chelated minerals. Aphanizomenon flos aquae is also an excellent source of vitamin B 12, as well as Omega 3 fatty acids, which protects against heart disease and lowers triglycerides. (Passwater and Solomon, 199.
In a recent double-blind, cross-over study performed at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal (Manoukian et al., 199, it was discovered that eating this particular algae triggered the migration of 40% (nearly 1 billion) of the circulating Natural Killer cells from blood to tissue within two hours of consumption.
Eating this algae also triggered a two- to fourfold increase in the expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of the circulating NK cells. Adhesion molecules allow NK cells to adhere to the capillary wall and migrate out of the blood circulation, to where the "sick cells" are located.
To be successful, the immune system needs killer cells that are both active and travel into tissues. To prevent the development of cancer or the spreading of viral infections like colds and flu, NK cells must migrate from the blood to the tissues where they provide effective "immune patrolling" of the tissues.
Many substances are known to improve the activity of NK cells, such as green tea and Ginkgo biloba. But until this recent finding on blue-green algae, no substance, not even pharmacological ones, were known to stimulate NK cells to migrate into the tissues to search and destroy sick cells.

Chlorella is also a winner as it is in the category of GREEN FOOD. It is impossible to overdose taking a 'greed food' because they are what is known as a SUPERFOOD.

Green foods refers to chlorophyll-rich supplements from sources such as microalgae (including spirulina, blue-green algae, and chlorella) and the young grasses of cereal plants (particularly barley, wheat, and alfalfa). Chlorophyll acts as an antioxidant and may have medicinal benefits against cancer and immune problems. Many people also take green-food concentrates to boost energy levels and physical and mental performance. Off The Shelf Natural Health How To Use Herbs And Nutrients To Stay Well By Mark Mayell, page 291

There are other beneficial algaes, such as spirulina, a blue-green alga, and other super green foods, but I believe chlorella is the best, particularly for people with cancer and/or a weak constitution. Herbal Medicine Healing Cancer by Donald R Yance Jr, page 232

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 Donald R Yance Jr, page 232

Good source for liquid Alfalfa chlorophyll -- http://www.liquid-alfalfa.com/eng/index.asp

In our current, civilized society it is often to be observed that our food can supply us frequently no longer sufficiently with nutrients, in order to keep our body healthy and vital. Accurately we call our current meals "canned goods" and/or simply "food" and not as "nourishments", the body - how the name lets assume - to supply and develop itself optimally.

The visible and noticeable consequences come up fast. The organism reacts with tiredness, stress or illness. A circumstance that could easley be avoided, by taking the necessary minerals, trace elements, vitamine, enzymes and also vegetable energy dispensers with much natural chlorophyll as food addition.

Alfalfa (lucerne) is a kind of clover, whose vitalizing effects already the Arabs use for centuries. They gave its name Alfalfa to the versatile plant - "father of all nutrients".

Apart from a multiplicity at vitamins and easily absorbable mineral materials, essential amino acids and trace elements Alfalfa contains above all also the chlorophyll important for humans. Chlorophyll, the natural life elixir, is the green pigment of plants.

For the process of photosynthesis it stores and catches the energy of the sunlight. This energy is needed, in order to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is considered as main energy source to living organisms. A balanced and nutrient-rich nutrition also supports the acid - and bases equilibrium in the body and further more leads to a pure and healthy body, to which "illnesses caused by civilization" are heavily can harm him.

In response to Alfalfa...Since my post on Cayenne pepper discussing the CAY-1 component(CAY-1 kills fungi by causing holes to form in the cell wall), which is a saponin, I have started researching saponins. It was very interesting to find that Alfalfa, like Cayenne pepper, contains similar powerful anti-fungal saponins. This information confirms the validity of the reports of Alfalfa cures or relief that we have previously seen posted. Another potent saponin source is garlic...again something already stumbled upon by many of us. I am using Alfalfa daily in fresh tea form. I am using Barley Green, Kelp and Dulce. I have made a pepper and citrus gel that I absolutely love. Since my lesions are all healed I have no trouble with stinging when it is applied. Just keep doing what is working...I am still 98% symptom free...somedays I have no symptoms. Today was a great day hope you all had one too...prayers...Linda

Thanks Linda

How do you take it ( blue green algea)........or do you sprinkle on food? I think I may try this!
