CHLORELLA (pyrenoidosa or vulgaris)
HEALING BENEFITS:
Chlorella has multiple health inducing effects. Below are just a few of the published effects that have been demonstrated.
Antiviral (especially effective against the cytomegaly virus and herpes)
Toxin binding (mucopolysaccaride membrane) for all known toxic metals, environmental toxins, such as dioxin and others
Repairs and activates the body�s detoxification functions
Dramatically increases reduced glutathion
Sporopollein is as effective as choestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic metals than any other natural substance
Various chlorella peptides restore coeruloplasmin and metallothionin
Lipids (12.4%) alpha and gamma linoleic acid help to balance the increased intake of fish oil during detoxification programs and are necessary for many functions, including formation of their peroxisomes.
Methylcobalamin is food for the nervous system. It restores damaged neurons and has its own detoxifying effect.
Chlorella Growth Factor � helps the body detoxify itself in a yet not understood and profound way. It appears that over millins of years chlorella has developed specific detoxifying proteins and peptides for every existing toxic metal.
The porphyrins in chlorophyll have their own strong metal-binding effect. Chlorophyll also activates the PPAR-receptor on the nucleus of the cell which is responsible for the transcription of DNA and coding the formation of the peroxisomes (see fish oil), opening of the cell wall (unknown mechanism) which is necessary for all detoxification procedures.
Super nutrient � with a 50-60% amino acid content it is an ideal nutrient for vegetarians. Methylcobalamin � the most easily absorbed and utilized form of B12, B6, minerals, chlorophyll, beta carotene, etc.
Immune system strengthening
Restores Bowel flora
Digestive aid (bulking agent)
Alkalinizing agent (important for patients with malignancies)
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:
Start the standard adult maintenance dosage for the 6-24 months active detox: 1 gram (approx. 4 tablets) 3-4 times a day
Incorporate a more active detox by increasing the Chlorella dose to 3 grams (approximately 12 tablets) whenever Cilantro is being taken. This must be taken one week intermittently, followed by 2-3 weeks on the above adult maintenance dose (i.e. 1 week on, 2-3 weeks on the standard maintenance program).
Chlorella must be taken 30 minutes before the main meals and at bedtime.
This way chlorella is exactly in that portion of the small intestine where the bile squirts into the gut at the beginning of the meal, carrying with it toxic metals and other toxic waste. These are bound by the chlorella cell wall and carried out via the digestive tract.
When amalgam fillings are removed, the higher dose should be given for 2 days before and 2-5 days after the procedure (the more fillings are removed, the longer the higher dose should be given).
If you take Vitamin C during your detox program, take it as far away from Chlorella as possible. Vitamin C is the only substance known so far that can knock mercury off its tight bind in the chlorella membrane.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Most side effects reflect the toxic effect of the mobilized metals which are shuttled through the organism. This problem is instantly avoided by significantly increasing the chlorella dosage, - not by reducing it. Small chlorella doses mobilize more metals than are bound in the gut; large chlorella doses bind more toxins than are mobilized.
Some people have problems digesting the cell membrane of chlorella. It is hard and sophisticated. The industry has developed several ways by cracking the membrane. However, mechanical destruction of the membrane leads to subsequent oxidative damage to some of the most precious ingredients (such as chlorella�s fatti acids).
Biopure uses a patented process by which stiff structural elements of the cell wall are cracked by using sound waves (similar to the process called lithotripsy), keeps the extra cellular chlorella barrier intact, thus protecting all of the cell�s organelles.
Chlorella can also be made bio-available by dissolving the cell wall enzymatically. Biopure produces are proprietary mix of sound cracked chlorella with specific enzymes, which kick into action once chlorella has arrived in the alkaline section of the small intestine. This product is availabe as BioPure Enzyme Potentiated Chlorella or EPC.
Another solution for people with digestive problems is Chlorella vulgaris. Chlorella vulgaris has a thinner cell wall and is therefore better tolerated by people with digestive problems.
Some manufacturers have created cell wall free chlorella extracts (NDF or Nanonized Detox Factors; PCA or Peptide Clathrating Agent) which are quite costly, but easily absorbed. NDF is availabe as NDF and NDF Plus. It contains micronized and nanonized chlorella and cilantro as the primary ingredients. It is recommended cycling NDF Plus into the program: 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off.

Wow, excellent info, thanks!!!
So timely, since I'm having one mercury filling removed next week...and I have ordered Chlorella from Dr. Mercola's website.
Does anyone know if Dr. Mercola's Chlorella is as good as the BioPure?

I would like to know that as well. It is much cheaper. I ordered the BioPure first and have since been using Dr. Mercola's. It is hard to notice a difference.

When I was miserable, Dr. K. told me to take a handful. All info in the article I posted, randibear.
