More Information

Chlorella has been proven to be an active immune system builder as well as a detoxifying agent. Detoxification refers to the removal of toxic substances from the body The detoxification capability of chlorella is due to its unique cell wall and the material associated with it. The cell walls of chlorella have been shown to have three layers of which the thicker middle layer contains cellulose microfibrils.  Clinical studies and medical researches have showed that toxins such as arsenic, mercury, lead, pesticides, insecticides, cadmium, uranium, P.C.B, radio actives materials and more have all been successfully detoxified from the human body by using chlorella. The chlorella cell wall binds to and absorbs these toxic substances and escorts them safely out of the body.  In the last 50 years, over 75,000 synthetic chemicals have been introduced into our environment and toxins are now found in nearly everything we ingest, touch and breathe and often lead to a wide variety of diseases and disorders, including allergies, skin reactions and even cancer. You need to get rid of these on a daily basis to ensure and protect your health. Taking chlorella algae every day (RECOVERYbits) is like giving your body a shower from the inside and stops toxins from gathering.

A hundred years ago only one in thirty people died of cancer. The odds of being diagnosed with cancer is now  one it three. Cancer has now become a familiar occurrence. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Exposure to environmental toxins from foods, water and air has risen exponentially, and has sadly become a part of our daily biology. Many agree that cancer initially results from a combination of malnutrition and body toxins, leading to cancer cells in the body.

Deterioration of the immune function, which eventually allows cancer cells to multiply, may begin with allergens in foods or air, and with poor food choices. Or, it may result from heavy metals, viral or fungal agents, chlorine, nicotine and other chemical toxins, x-rays, radioactive and electromagnetic elements. It may also result from stress, negative attitudes, or any other influence that taxes the immune system beyond its capacity to respond to it.  Many also feel that any influence which weakens the functional capacity of our liver increases our risk of cancer.

When the liver fails to process all the toxic materials that are brought to it, toxins back up in our immune system, which then loses its capacity to deal with more toxic influences.  Cancer represents the most extreme form of nutritional collapse. It starts to develop when oxygen uptake is inhibited and red blood cells deteriorate . Studies have shown that chlorella algae (like that found in our RECOVERYbits) stimulates macrophage, interferon, B cell and T cell production resulting in anti-tumor, anti-bacteria and anti-viral properties and effects.

• T-cells are active against viruses and cancer;
• B-cells are active against fighting bacteria;
• stimulation of macrophages increases cancer cell destruction as well as removal of foreign proteins and chemicals;
• interferon is a natural secretion of the body and is thought to be a physiological stimulator of macrophages

Maccrophages help destroy cancer cells and remove foreign proteins and chemicals. This is an important property since there are a limited number of macrophages in the body, allowing just so much removal of harmful substances from the blood. This shows the capacity of chlorella to help prevent not only cancer or pre-cancerous conditions, but also other diseases associated with viral infections.

Chlorella also contains the highest known source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps in the prevention of the spread of cancer by increasing the oxygen uptake, therefore promoting cell reproduction. Studies have indicated that, as a "biological response modifier", the green food chlorella can provide critical health benefits to people weakened by illness, severe treatments and a suppressed immune system, improving their life, without interfering with the effectiveness of conventional cancer therapies, and possibly reducing future reoccurrences of viral infections.

Chlorella with to its dense nutritional profile, contains a wide spectrum of nutrients-such as vitamin A, C, E, beta carotene, chlorophyll and C.G.F, to name a few all of which may help prevent a a wide spectrum of chronic diseases. Most of these diseases (heart disease, diabetes etc) are caused by nutrient deficiencies affecting all of us, in our present era of mega-commercialization and food processing.

Why Algae Helps

Algae Helps Build your Immune System

A depressed Immune system is a lot like a depressed friend. It doesn’t want to do what it’s supposed to and shuts down. That’s when things start to go haywire. Normally, a strong immune system can fight off viruses, free radicals and other intruders, but when it is depressed (due to stress, lack of nutrition or lack of sleep), the result is that you become susceptible to just about everything. And you often end up catching everything! If you are already sick, from a cold or cancer, building your immune system is critical to getting back on your feet. Studies have shown that one of the keys to a healthy immune system is having sufficient oxygen in your cells. In fact, cancer cannot even exist in oxygenated cells. So to prevent colds or to heal from anything, one of the things you need to do is get more oxygen into your cells. Eating foods that are rich in chlorophyll is one way to do this. Algae, especially has the highest concentration of chlorophyll on the planet, so it is real superstar when it comes to bringing oxygen and antioxidants to your cells. When selecting which algae to eat, to help build your immune system, we’d like to suggest our RECOVERYBits™ which are made from chlorella algae. This is because in addition to having a high concentration of chlorophyll, 60% protein (which help rebuilds cells), they are an oxygen based algae. So when you eat chlorella algae, additional oxygen is released into your body – which helps fight disease and rebuilds your immune system. Chlorella also contains RDA and DNA and a unique substance called Chlorella Growth Factor, which further repairs your health, your immune system and your RNA and DNA.

Antioxidants Help Fight Cellular Inflammation

Another cause of illness is cellular inflammation. Inflammation occurs when cells become so damaged by free radicals that they can't survive or replicate properly, so they replicate in a damaged form, or not at all. This leads to a build up of damaged cells and eventually, there is a tipping point, where illnesses as varied as heart disease to cancer or diabetes take hold. To help prevent this, you need to eat lots of antioxidants. Algae is likely the best antioxidant you could ever add to your diet. Not only because it has the highest concentration of beta-carotene in the world, but it also contains many other antioxidants and nutrients that further calm inflammation and protect your health. Arm yourself with algae and your health will thank you. Oh and you might be able to say goodbye to colds….for good!

Why Drink Water?

OK, so now you know that algae can help you feel like a superhero. But you’re not done yet. You also need water. Lots of it. And no, coffee or soda's don’t count. Nice try though.

Think about this. When you were a kid, you probably had a gold fish. Right? Remember what happened when you didn’t change the water in the fish tank? It got murky. Your goldfish seemed depressed, stopped swimming or worse – died. Poor thing. But once you cleaned out the tank and replaced it with fresh water, little “Goldie” was probably back doing laps around the fish tank. Maybe even back flips like a character out of Dr. Seuss’s book “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”. Well, your body’s cells are just like little Goldie. They need a constant supply of fresh water and if they don’t get it, they slowly but surely shut down- just like your friend Goldie. Without a daily supply of fresh water, the water around your cells gets dirty, murky and toxic. Just like the water in your goldfish bowl. Yuck. Who wants dirty goldfish water sloshing around inside them? Not us. Not Goldie. And not you either. So drink up. Drink often. And hopefully drink with our algae tabs.

But seriously, here’s why you and your need water. Your brain is 75% water. In fact, your muscles are 75% water too. Ever notice how you get thirsty when you lift weights? You do lift weights don’t you? The point is, your body is over 60% water and some parts are even higher, like  your blood and lungs which are 90% water. Your body is constantly rebuilding itself. Your bones, your organs, your skin, absolutely everything is in a constant state of re-growth 24/7. Can you imagine a skyscraper built without steel? Well, water is one of your body’s most critical building materials. You can’t build healthy bones, organs or anything else without water.  Not only that, but water is what moves stuff around in your body. Not having enough water is like not having enough construction workers on a work site. Donald Trump would not be amused. So, as you can see, water does way more than just quench your thirst. It builds and operates your body which is why an occasional glass of water just isn’t enough. You realy should try to get eight glasses of pure, unadulterated water every single day. Sounds like a lot. We know.

So, lets do the math. Each day an adult loses an average of six cups of water from urine, four cups from breathing, sweating and bowel movements and two to three cups from digestion. That’s twelve cups even before you add in the dehydrating effects of caffeine, stress or exercise. Granted some of your H20 needs could come from your diet but only if you are eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. And no, French fries do not count. Nice try. We bet you are walking around dehydrated like everyone else but you just don’t know it. When you are dehydrated, you fatigue easily and nothing works as well as it should. In fact, without sufficient water, your body thinks it's in survival mode. Just like a squirrel who hides nuts before the winter, your body stores whatever water it can get its hands on –causing swelling in feet, legs, hands, or horror of horrors - weight gain. But once you give your body what it needs, this stored water is usually released. Say hello to your new energy and weight loss.

By the way, that eight glasses of water a day is just a starting point. Your body treats water like a bank account. Every time you drink water, it’s like you’re making a deposit into the account. Unlike a real bank account where you are the only one authorized to make withdrawals, water withdrawals from your body can be made anytime  without your authorization or knowledge. Yikes! That’s right. It’s like giving thousands of total strangers your ATM card and PIN number and allowing them to withdraw whatever they want, whenever they want. And they do. The result? You become bankrupt – of water. And who are these unscrupulous strangers making these unauthorized withdrawals? Some are things you can control like your food and drink (eg. caffeine and sugary foods are very dehydrating). Others are things you can’t control like breathing. Remember those twelve cups of water that you lose each day?  Without additional water deposits to cover these other "unauthorized" water withdrawals caused by caffeine or stress, your body can easily go into “overdraft” and become bankrupt i.e dehydrated.

Still not convinced you need water? Then consider what happens when you get dehydrated. Without water in your body, you would be poisoned by your own waste products. Whoa! That got your attention didn’t it? Sorry for the drama. But here's what happens. During dehydration, the water surrounding your cells is reduced, leaving the small remaining amount to become stagnant and loaded with toxins. As dehydration continues, since your body absolutely has to have water surrounding its cells (to perform all their daily duties), it pulls out water from inside your cells. Yup, like a fugitive on the run, your body literally “steals” water where ever it can find it, from inside your cells, your blood, your organs and even from inside your colon (a big contributor to constipation). This continues until your cells finally lose all or most of their internal water, shrivel up, malfunction or become damaged. You can usually stop these early stages of dehydration just by drinking more water, but most people have no idea they are dehydrated. Too bad because there are so many health conditions that could be eased just by drinking more water. Who knew? Well, now you do. Drinking eight glasses of water a day is one of the easiest ways to gain more mental vitality and better health. Well, in addition to taking our algae tabs of course. Water and algae are two of the simplest, fastest and immiate routes to better health.  So drink up and drink often, especially with our algae tabs. Little Goldie would approve :)
