This detoxification of heavy metals and other
chemical toxins in the blood will take 3-6 months to build up enough to
begin this process depending on the dosage of
chlorella a person is
taking. (See Below) It is also this fibrous material that greatly augments healthy
digestion and overall digestive track health. The chlorella actually
binds with the mercury and carries it out through the digestive system.
Chlorella plays a particularly crucial role in
systemic mercury elimination because the majority of mercury is
eliminated through stool. Once the mercury burden is lowered from the intestines,
mercury from other body tissues will more readily migrate into the
intestines -- where chlorella will effectively remove it.
A clean bloodstream,
with an abundance of red blood cells to carry oxygen, is necessary to a
strong natural defense system. Chlorella's cleansing action on the bowel
and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of the liver,
helps keep the blood clean. Clean blood assures that metabolic wastes
are efficiently carried away from the tissues.
Chlorella is also very high in
nutritional value.
Important Note Chlorella is
very effective in removing mercury.
However, Chlorella contains iron and can actually raise
iron levels. To much iron can be toxic because our bodies has a limited
ability to get rid of it. Iron is actually an anti-antioxidant.
Iron is a free radical and to much of it can actual cause harm. So if
you are going to use chlorella extensively you should measure your iron
levels. The best way to do this is through a measure of serum ferritin
level in conjunction with total iron binding level. If your levels are
too high, above 150, one way of treating elevated iron levels is by
taking a simple extract from rice bran called phytic acid, or IP6. Not
only is this an inexpensive solution, but also it doesn't require any
prescription.

How Much Chlorella
Should You Take For Detoxification
In
Japanese studies 3 grams per day
was found to be a good maintenance dose. At this level you will not
notice many changes if any. However this amount will give you a healthy
dose of nutrients. Most studies and my own personal use has
found that 6 to 9 grams will give you noticeable changes in energy,
digestion and elimination. (1000mg equals one gram)
I personally take
about 6 grams a day minimum. If you have any constipation this will fix
you right up. If you have been found to have mercury in your body by
laboratory testing you should begin by taking 16-20 grams a day.
Chlorella is a food source so one can eat as much as one wishes.
However, like with any food allow your body to tell you if you are
eating to much. Chlorella can be taken at any time of the day. Chlorella
is also safe for children of all ages.
Note To Drinkers
A Japanese study showed that taking 4-6gm of chlorella
before consuming alcohol can prevent hangover 96% of the time, even after a night
of heavy drinking. Chlorella is considered to be a first class
detoxifying agent, capable of removing alcohol from the liver
NOTE EXTRA NOTE About 25% of people can not tolerate chlorella. This
may be due to a cellulase insufficiency: if you are unable to tolerate
chlorella, it would be wise to consider adding a digestive enzyme
supplement with cellulase in it to help digest the chlorella.
