Hello folks,
I am looking for a good brand of chlorella, one that is easily digestible & least likely to provoke an allergic reaction.
Any ideas? thanks again

Hi Gwen!

Nature's Sunshine makes a chlorella that also has Chinese parsley in it. As far as the allergy question, you can be muscle tested.

Good Luck and Take Care....Terri

Have been using both - Natures-Balance.com and earthrise.com. Look for the species 'pyrenoidosa' or 'vulgaris'. I am using chlorella pyrenoidosa by Earthrise. It's very important that it is grown under the best conditions and tested regularly for metals. We have moved away from Nature's Balance, because it took them a while to go to cellulose capsules instead of gelatin(animal source). Maybe they have one now -- don't know. I also prefer the tablet form of Earthrise's pyrenoidosa - they are tinier and easily swallowed or chewed, and they actually taste good unlike others I have tasted. My little 3 year-old granddaughter loves them and chews them like candy!

You want to take them away from meals if you want them to act as metal magnets in the intestinal tract. If you want to make sure you are getting rid of metals from the gut - take about 10 several times a day. You may want to start out slowly and then increase, -- muscle testing before taking them, as LymeBean said, is the best way to assure
tolerance.

I will be taking chlorella forever in order to eliminate the daily pickup of mercury, etc. I take many of them when flying or when I know I am exposed!

Good luck.

Here, Gewen36, gave you the Earthrise website and my comments earlier this morning...

I take spirulina powder from earthrise and am very happy with it. (I know you want chlorella, but saw you needed the earthrise info)....

Please note --- Spirulina or blue-green algae is n o t Chlorella. For removal of heavy metals in the gut only Chlorella works and prevents the metals from relocating and settling at another place in your body -- most often the brain and joints!

GiGi, I found out on Friday that I have elevated Mercury levels. LLMD said he would address this at our next visit so I didn't ask any questions. This is strange as I have composite fillings and no recollection of Mercury exposure. What are the symptoms of this problem and how is it treated?
Thanks

Limelight and all, if you had amalgam fillings before they were replaced with composites and you didn't follow the replacement with a lengthy metal detox program, you may still carry the metals in your body. If you have crowns, under most crowns amalgam was used for years. Dental personnel are severely affected by exposure to mercury. I am convinced that's why many dentists still use it ---- they can't think straight any longer, have lost the ability to think logically and don't get it that mercury is highly toxic to the human body.

If your mother had amalgam fillings, it is passed down to the child via placenta and breastfeeding. Some infants are born mercury toxic, sadly.

Sources of Mercury: All Fish. Pesticide residue on vegetables. Pesticides on tobacco plants. Mercurial fungicides on seed grains. Coal burning (atmospheric). Pink coloring agent in dentures (cinnabar). Calomel (mercurous chlorides. Exterior and some interior paints. Plastic frames on eye glasses. Plastic trim in new cars. Pharmaceuticals. All U.S. manufactured vaccines and other injectables (flu shots, etc.) are preserved with mercury. Cosmetics (mascara), Preparation "H". Contraceptives
(vaginal spermacide gels and creams). Some contact lens cleaners (thimerisol. Over
4000 commercial uses. (This list is a few years old, but not much has changed yet).

The list of mercury toxin S Y M P T O M S is identical to Lyme Disease & Co. symptoms -in other words, the list is endless -- except that it is easier to detox mercury than to cure Lyme, but if you work on both, excess heavy metals and Lyme & co-infections, not forgetting the parasites and viruses) you have a good chance to get well.
It's hard work, yes, but it can be done as many can concur.

I hope that your doctor knows how to deal with metal toxicity. I would suggest you read some of my posts on this subject.

Good luck!

Thanks GiGi. I plan to have an extensive discussion with him and get the detox underway ASAP. Hmm, maybe my love of tunafish is to blame? Ha, Ha...

Hello,

I am thinking to start up with the chlorella again, but was wondering if it may bind to the antibiotics in the tissues?

I would take it 4-6 hours after the antibiotics, but was thinking because it is supposed to bind to toxins and chemicals, possibly it would bind to the antibiotics that are in the tissues?

I am on the zithro and flagyl combo, and the zithro stays in the tissues for a few days, so maybe? that chlorella would bind to it in the tissues?

I am really craving the chlorella, so feel I must need it. Did take some the other day, and felt more energy. But wanted to ask on here what others think?

I am also thinking that I possibly have mercury still causing a problem... did have the mercury fillings out several years ago, and did do many a few years of aggressive drug and natural chelation, but have this gut feeling it is still causing a problem possibly... so thought of the chlorella and the cilantro.

I also made some homemade cilantro the other day... was craving this too, and boy did I get sick from it. MERCURY I thougth right away.

Thinking to do the low dose cilantro and some chlorella long term while on the antibiotics.

I also read that when killing bacteria it can sometimes?? stir up mercury. Not sure if this is correct.

I would be using the Sequel brand chlorella, I am here in canada, and have heard it is really good.

thanks,

Trish

Gwen37,

I was going to write;

Sun Chlorella A by Dyno-Mills available at www.iHerb.com scrolled down and Lisa had already posted same info so there you have it!

My nautropath/herbologist highly recommended it. I must say it worked marvellously for me after living 2 years by a super high-powered substation and being radiated and having heavy metals!

GiGi,

You've given us some great info! THANKS!

Magdalena

Anyone know anything about the chlorella that you can get from the Mercola website? I was thinking about trying it.
