Marine phytoplanton are microscopic algae plants that grow abundantly in oceans around the world.  These micro algae are some of the most nutritious food on the planet. Marine phytoplankton, a simple organism, is complete nutrition in its most basic form - the "building blocks of health" and is the foundation of the marine food chain. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae AFA is a fresh water, edible species of blue-green algae.

Steven Schecter, N.D - "There is no family of foods more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables ... sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclitides, heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins."

Algae are non-flowering water plants that grow in almost every drop of sunlit water and every gram of soil, on the barks of trees and the surfaces of rocks. It is estimated that there are as many as 50,000 species; these include seaweeds and plankton. Collectively, algae is responsible for 90% of the Earth's oxygen and 80% of its food supply. 

Miracle Superfood: Wild Blue-Green Algae by Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D.  A Clinical Nutritionalist, Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D., famous in England as a health expert on television. She tells of her passion for wild blue green algae and the many profound health benefits she and her patients experienced.

Algae has been harvested and eaten for centuries and yet, until recently, its immense nutritional value has mostly gone unrecognized. Now, science has begun to focus their attention on the nutritional potential of algae because of global hunger, shrinking resources, depleted lands, etc. The results of this research and testing have been impressive enough for UC Irvine scientists to call it a "Super Food, capable of contributing to the achievement and maintenance of wellness".  Chlorophyll is a very important part of the algae. Its molecular structure is almost the same as that of the hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying throughout the body. Oxygen is the prime nutrient, and chlorophyll is the central molecule for increasing the oxygen availability to your system. Chlorophyll is vital for the body’s rapid assimilation of amino acids. Algae is the highest know source of chlorophyll.

Dr. Hugo Rodier M.D.  - "The micronutrients and electrolytes in plankton are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutrients and electrolytes. While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human cell. As noted above, our metabolism will suffer, leading to practically all diseases." 

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.  - "One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton.  It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).  Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82 (riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost everything one needs to sustain life.  Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. This is particularly true if one stops putting toxic materials such as artificial sweeteners and trans fats (partially hydrogenated fats) into our body."

Plankton is rich in polymeric, and basic healthy sugars, such as polysaccharides (J. Plankton Research 2005;27:695.) Plankton also have an alkaline pH, which is important, given the acidity of our diets high in refined sugars, soda pop, and farmed large animals. Marine Phytoplankton contain many elements available no where else. You may have heard of fresh water phytoplankton like Spirulina and Chlorella. These algae also have many health benefits, however, with the 200+ separate species of marine phytoplankton, their nutritional profile is second to none!

Dr. Robert Rowe Ph.D - "My 81 year old mother had been telling me how much energy she had been having since taking the phytoplankton. However she had misunderstood the amount she should be taking – she was consuming mere drops, rather than the proper ounces. Having been a student of homeopathy, it suddenly dawned on me there must be a major energy component activated, even though her dosage was so small. The work of Fritz Popp came to mind: Dr. Popp, a world renowned physicist, found that living things emit small packets of light called photons. We can see the phosphorescence produced in the ocean when the water is stirred at night; we are able to see the sparkling photon light produced. Dr. Popp was able to show that the effects of a compound could be duplicated just by bombarding water with the electromagnetic frequency of the compound, which is how homeopathy works.

Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D. -  "Sea plants can transform your health. A seaweed bath is a great way to get the benefits of sea plants all over your body. Seaweed baths are Nature's perfect body-psyche balancer, and they're a good way get natural iodine. There are many reasons why I recommend sea vegetables as part of my healing programs -- weight loss, cellulite control, detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more. Sea vegetables can transform your health! I believe that when we eat sea vegetables, and when we take seaweed baths, we are tapping into the ancestral and restorative source of all life- the ocean. Include sea vegetables into your diet every day and you 'll see a difference. I do! Sea plants -- gifts from the sea!"

Blue Green Algae has been eaten for health benefits by millions of people for thousand of years. In Africa, Mexico, China, Japan and Europe, the healing powers of algae have long been recognized. These algae contains an unusually large proportion of high-quality protein (approximately 55 - 65%), with all eight essential amino acids present in an ideal balance. It also contains powerful antioxidants, a wealth of trace minerals, vitamins (especially B vitamins), rare and essential fatty acids, unique forms of sulfolipids and a variety of phytochemicals such as phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, and chlorophyll.

Dr. Theresa Dale, Ph.D., N.D. - "I suggest every person who wants to maintain a healthy physical and mental state use AFA on a daily basis. AFA is a live food. You will easily digest and assimilate all the nutrients. AFA is good for children, teenagers and adults of any age." Dr. Dale is an international pioneer in energetic medicine, hormone rejuvenation and self-help health education.

Karl J. Abrams, Professor of Chemistry -  "AFA has more bio-available chlorophyll than any other food. In biochemical research circles, the presence of chlorophyll in such high quantities is a clear indication of the AFA's extraordinarily high life-force. This inheerent vitality helps keep the AFA's wide spectrum of nutrients at their absolute nutritional peak. For me, this partially explains the mystery of how AFA can have so many positive health benefits." Professor Abrahams is the author of  Algae to the Rescue and also Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - A Nutritional Approach

AFA contains unique molecules that modulate various aspects of human health such as:  Phenylethylamine (PEA) known as the "molecule of love." Beside enhancing concentration and attention, PEA is a natural mood elevator and anti-depressant. But the most extraordinary discovery is the ability of AFA to stimulate stem cell release and migration, making AFA the first natural compound known to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body.
Recently the first stage of an extensive research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada produced some remarkable results. The project studies the effect of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as on general blood physiology. It was discovered that eating AFA had a profound and unique effect on Natural Killer (NK) cells. The results were recently published under the title: Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells. It appears in Chapter 3.1 of the IBC Library Series, Volume 1911, Phytoceuticals: Examining the health benefit and pharmaceutical properties of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. 

The only known source of this specific variety (AFA) of blue-green algae is Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Known for being one of the world's most pristine lakes, it is surrounded by ancient volcanic mountains, and plentiful with rich sediment. Klamath Lake now has more than 37 feet of this sediment, which is why it is known to be one of the most nutrient and mineral rich areas on earth. The nutrients in this lake, plus the lake's pure water from fresh mountain springs, combined with an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, are the components that allow this most pristine environment to grow a perfectly nutrient-rich food.   references

Dr. Baxter D. Montgomery, M.D. - “We have had excellent results with Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) in our disease reversal program, specifically with cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.  Within a few days of starting to drink AFA, my staff  and I  noticed a leap in our stamina during our workouts, an incredible boost in our mental clarity and ability to stay focused, and a decrease in our appetite.  Our patients have commented that they are losing cravings for “the bad foods” as they continue to drink AFA.  We are amazed and overjoyed at the tremendous results we see with regular use of this live super food.” – Dr. Baxter D. Montgomery, MD with the Houston Cardiac Association, HCA Wellness and Disease Reversal

Dr. Gabriel Cousens M.D. - "As a physician working with thousands of clients, I find that Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) helps to restore overall biochemical balance by nourishing the body at the cellular level. The positive response from the use of AFAhas been extraordinary. A wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily."

Dr. Abrams has written a very easy reference book for those of us who are seeking the absolute best in nutrition for vibrant health! Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is the most nutrient dense food available on earth. In this book, Dr. Abrams clearly explains how this natural superfood from Klamath Lake in Oregon can work for you. Algae to the Rescue Everything You Need to Know about Nutrition Algae 

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) Blue Green Algae is the first protein and most ancient food on earth. At the bottom of the food chain, it is the most nutrient-rich food (ounce for ounce) known to be created by nature. This simple organism is complete nutrition in its most basic form - the "building blocks of health". Wild AFA blue-green algae is a superb natural source of nutrients for the body. It boasts outstanding levels of chlorophyll, vitamin B12, beta-carotene, iron, protein, enzymes, amino acids and many more complementary nutrients in a completely assimable form. As a result, it can help to increase energy, correct imbalances, oxygenate cells and realize high levels of physical and mental health. Recent tests conducted by Gitte Jensen, PhD; Donald Ginsberg, MS; and Christian Drapeau, MS; have revealed the effects of AFA Blue-Green Algae (BGA) on health, disease, and the immune system.

Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD,  from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine, explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton (microscopic plants/organism that live in the ocean) are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutrients and electrolytes. While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human cell. Good nutrition will enhance the structure and function of all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles, hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision, digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically, our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy, minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. 

Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time for things to work. One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make...The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).

Gabriel Cousens, M.D - "Presently there is a common belief that there is no cure or even amelioration for the degenerative process called Alzheimer's Disease. Having personally experienced and witnessed in my patients the brain function enhancing qualities of a blue-green algae named aphanizomenon flos-aqua, I was interested when I read some reports of its effects on Alzheimers Disease. This algae is particularly high in active neurotransmitters and appeared to have positive therapeutic results in people whose general mental functioning seemed sluggish. For my experiment I chose two individuals who had well documented Alzheimer's Disease. They had obvious deficient mental functioning. Each month, besides my notes, the mate of each of the patients was asked to fill out a questionnaire covering thought process, memory function, ability to focus, judgment, perception, emotions, ability to care for oneself, and sleep function. Each section had several categories to be evaluated from 1 to 10 for a total of 28 questions. Each case has been followed for 12 months."  read more

The Genesis Effect: Spearheading Regeneration With Wild Blue Green Algae

Dr. Apsley offers a wonderful source of information about the nutritional value of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (wild blue-green algae). A huge proportion of the food raised for consumption is radiated, or grown with chemicals. It contains a fraction of the vitamins and minerals that are needed for optimum health. Dr. Apsley offers hope and a solution to those of us who want a whole food supplement that has not been genetically engineered or altered in any way. Wild blue-green Algae has a high profile in the three basics: proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It is easily assimilated and used by the body. Nature's superfood is one of the richest known sources of B-12, which is especially important for a vegetarian like me. It is also an excellent source of the Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. According to Dr. Apsley, the people who consume wild-blue green algae on a regular basis (at least 1 gram per day) report numerous health improvements and benefits as their bodies de-toxify and heal on a cellular level.

Christopher H. Hassell, M.D - "As my patients began to use Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) products, I noted that many organ systems responded well to this kind of natural nutrition. I´m so grateful to have these powerful tools for myself and my family"

Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D - "Almost 98 percent of the patients I see in my clinical practice are deficient in one or more minerals or vitamins. Yet our health is dependent on complete availability and absorption of nutrients in a form that our bodies can utilize. Even a deficiency in just one nutrient can cause a chain reaction, triggering deficiencies in many other nutrients. There are many biochemical and reasons for poor nutrient absorption which may include  a sluggish body,  excess of unhealthy mucus along the walls of the small intestines,  nutrient-deficient foods,  malfunctioning digestive system. It is possible that a person may consistently take vitamin or mineral supplement pills, with little or no recognized benefit if the body.s biochemical absorption system fails to function properly.  Unlike supplement pills and unlike most other foods, the AFA algae has a greater than 90 percent assimilation rate. This means that the algae, recognized by the body as a food, absorbs with unsurpassed efficiency and rapidity when com- pared to most other natural or perhaps unnatural substances. 

Thus, even if a person's internal absorption system is malfunctioning, the algae is so biologically assimilable that tangible benefits can still be obtained nonetheless. For these reasons, the wild blue-green algae could play a major role in wiping out malnutrition. For example, an acclaimed study on severely mal- nourished children, under the auspices of the Central American University (1994), found that 79 percent of these subjects no longer exhibited symptoms of malnutrition after just six months on the algae.. In addition, NASA has been studying the algae as a possible food source for space missions.. It is understandable that this algae delivers such a broad spectrum of benefits ranging from weight loss to memory booster to immune system enhancer and much more; it.s all in the rate of assimilation and absorption. Finally, it.s interesting to note that the Russians have used algae to treat patients exposed to radiation in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Following are summaries of this algae.s potential benefits, based on my own clinical research and clinical case studies and other research reports as well."

Tests conducted by Gitte Jensen, Ph.D; Donald Ginsberg, MS; and Christian Drapeau, MS; have revealed the effects of AFA Blue-Green Algae (BGA) on health, disease, and the immune system. It has been suggested that due to the many various properties of BGA, including the synergistic effects of the concentrated phytochemicals (Carotenoids, Chlorophyll, Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, and Phycocyanin), algae can be used in many ways to encourage health and healing. The following information highlights the benefits reported in this study and the positive effects of AFA Blue-Green Algae.

Mr. Drapeau, a foremost scientist in the study of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, holds a Masters of Science degree in Neurology and Neurosurgery from the Montreal Neurological Institute, an affiliate of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and has been extensively involved in the study of nutrition, naturopathy and various natural therapies.

Most significantly, Mr. Drapeau collaborated with many scientists affiliated with Harvard University, McGill University, the University of Illinois, Oregon State University, the University of New Mexico and the University of Mississippi in the study of the effects of blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) on human health. Mr. Drapeau continues his involvement in the clinical study of AFA:

 

Phycocyanin, the blue pigment in AFA, which is a natural selective COX-2 inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory properties.

A polysaccharide that stimulates the migration of immune cells in the body; the only natural compound known to stimulate immune cell migration.

But the most extraordinary discovery is the ability of AFA to stimulate stem cell release and migration, making AFA the first natural compound known to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body."

 

Dr. Fred Bisci - “As a clinical nutritionist with over 40 years experience, I’m impressed and delighted at how AFA helps such a wide range of health problems. I can only conclude that AFA has the therapeutic versatility of a true adaptogen, nourishing the body and mind on multiple metabolic pathways at the deepest of physiological levels. AFA’s energetic boost is therefore wholesome and lasting, unlike the temporary ups and downs of unhealthy stimulants such as sugar and caffeine.”

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae's Effects on the Circulation and Function of Immune Cells in Humans

Rafail Kushak, PhD, et al.  - The Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association - Vol. 2, No. 3, January 2000
A Peer-Reviewed Journal on Nutraceuticals and Nutrition Mark Houston, MD
Department of Surgery, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Research and Development, Cell Tech, Klamath Falls, Oregon

Consumption of a moderate amount (1.5 grams) of the blue-green algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae results in rapid changes in immune cell trafficking. Two hours after AFA consumption, a generalized mobilization of lymphocytes and monocytes, but not polymorph nucleated cells, was observed. This included increases in CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cell subsets and CDl9+ B cells. In addition, the relative proportions and absolute numbers of natural killer (NK) cells were reduced after AFA consumption. No changes were observed in the relative proportions of naive versus memory T cells, neither in the CD4 nor the CD8 fractions. A mild but significant reduction in phagocytic activity was observed for polymorph nucleated cells. When freshly purified lymphocytes were exposed to AFA extract in vitro, direct activation was not induced, as evaluated by tyrosine phosphorylation and proliferative activity. more 

The first scientific report published on AFA was by Gabriel Cousens, MD (1985), in the Journal of Orthomedicine on the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Several case studies were presented where AFA appeared to noticably reverse the progression of this degenerative condition. Subsequently, Dr. Cousens has continued to advocate the use of AFA especially for conditions related to mental and emotional functioning. Since that study, thousands of seniors have reported success using AFA on a daily basis.  Algae Nutritional Properties

What follows are results from three studies on children and the use of AFA: Nicaragua - University of Central America

Sevulla and Aguirre (1995)1, in their doctoral research studied 1,567 school children who were given 1 gram (4 capsules) of AFA a day for six months.

    * A 54% percent increase in classroom participation was reported by teachers.
    * A 21% percent increase in classroom attendance records was found.
    * Overall, physical improvements in hair, skin and general health were observed.
    * The school's ranking on standardized academic tests went from lowest to highest in the nation.

Key Finding: A dramatic 81% improvement in the children's academic scores were reported

Harvard, Massachusetts - Center for Family Wellness

Claudia Jarratt and her staff (1997) conducted a landmark study of 142 children who ate between .5 gm and 1 gm of AFA a day for ten weeks.

    * Improved social skills with peers
    * Reduced anxiety and depression
    * Less argumentative, controlling and demanding behavior
    * Increased ability to follow directions and focus on tasks

Key Finding. Parents and teachers reported significant improvements in children's problem behaviors in 10 out of 11 categories using the Achenbach rating scales. Sierra Vista, AZ - The Stillwell Learning Center

Jeffrey Bruno, Ph.D., Joe-Jo Gittelman, and Barry Tuchfeld, Ph.D. (1998) conducted a study of 31 children in a special reading program who ate either 1.5 gm, 3 gm, or no AFA a day for three months.

    * Significant behavioral improvements on the Conners Parent and Teacher Rating Scales
    * A forty percent improvement on children's mean score of memory recall
    * A twenty percent improvement on children's mean scores of concentration
    * A dramatic increase in tutorial classroom attendance records
    * Overall reduced physical symptoms and complaints

Key Finding. The AFA groups demonstrated a significant reduction in toxic levels of aluminum. Toxic levels of aluminum are correlated with learning problems and References:

The Algae AD/HD Connection - Can Blue Green Algae Be of Help with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?
John Taylor, Ph.D., Licenced Psychologist and leading AD/HD authority

The "Children and Algae Report" is a summary of the information of the Center for Family Wellness gathered during their research study of 140 children. This study was designed to investigate the effects of feeding Super Blue Green Algae to children who struggle with learning, social and behavioral problems.

The research team questioned whether the addition of Algae to children's diets would help alleviate these challenges. The statistical analysis of the data gathered during the study demonstrates that eating Algae clearly has a notably positive outcome in those areas of concern for a vast majority of the study sample.

The report also mentions another study involving 1,482 students in Nicaragua, a country where malnutrition impacts about two thirds of the population. The positive results of adding Super Blue Green Algae to the children's diets were noted and qualified, as were the improvements in the children's class participation, academic scores, and overall health.

In this Children and Algae study, parents reported significant behavioral changes in their children, including:

    * significant improvement in the ability to focus, follow directions and concentrate
    * a reduction in argumentative, demanding and combative behavior
    * fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression
    * improvement in social skills
    * fewer signs of emotional and behavioral withdrawal
    * less acting out behavior and fewer conduct problems
    * a reduction in behaviors characterized as "strange"
    * fewer physical symptoms, such as headaches and stomach aches, for which there is no apparent medical cause
    * Increased energy, vitality, and stamina.
    * Greater ability to handle stress.
    * A strengthening of the immune system, resulting in fewer ailments and a speedier recovery from sickness.
    * Relief from the discomforting symptoms of hypoglycemia, fatigue, mood swings, allergies, etc.
    * Improved digestion and relief from constipation.
    * Enhanced mental alertness and clarity.
    * Improved memory.
    * Alleviation of anxiety and depression.
    * A stronger sense of direction and positive outlook on life.

As the study progressed, many children exhibited language and reading skill improvements. Parents and teachers, alike, began reporting that the children had better social and interactive skills, and more self-reliance.

This report also includes:

   1. Practical guidelines on how to feed AFA to children, and the correct amount
   2. Some of the parents favorite Algae recipes

AFA targets hidden nutritional deficiencies and detoxifies the body

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

"1 was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was bedridden for one year and housebound for 5 years. 1 began consuming Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) in the spring of 1988, and consider the algae to be one of the" shining stars of my overall program." At this point in time, I function on a very high level and am virtually symptomfree, as long as 1 adhere to certain healthful principles."   - Bonnie S., New York

Diabetes

""I have always required large doses of insulin, and for the past three years I am requiring an average of 50 units of insulin per day. My eyesight has grown worse the last few years, to the point that I was nearly blind. Five years ago, the doctor diagnosed me with Diabetic Retinopathy, and I was treated with Panretinal Laser Photo-coagulation. After this procedure I was able to see again, but the side effects of the laser surgery included loss of my peripheral vision and a complete loss of night vision. For an extended period of time I have relied on my family members to drive me around due to my blood sugar levels fluctuating so severely and rapidly. Since childhood my blood sugars have been out of control and I have even lapsed into a diabetic coma. I began eating Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) algae two months ago. I started by taking 500mg per day, and by the end of the first week I noticed something truly amazing. My insulin requirement was cut in half! During the second week of eating AFA, I increased my algae intake to 1 gram (1000mg) per day. At this point, my insulin intake is remaining steady around 30 units per day. By the end of the second week, something even more amazing happened to me. My eyesight started to change. I started to get back some of the peripheral vision that I lost due to the laser surgery, and for the first time in five years, I am able to see my children in a low-lit room at night. Before I had to turn on the light or use a flashlight to check on my kids. Since then my eyes have continued to improve and I am able to drive in the dark again. I have much more energy than I have ever had before. (My son even tells people that they should take algae like his mom, so they have lots of energy to play with him.) It has now been two months, and I have worked my way up to 2 grams of AFA algae per day. I have tried eating more algae, but I got to the point that I was requiring more insulin, so I went back to two grams per day. My insulin intake is remaining steady at 30 units per day with nearly zero fluctuation. The pain in my legs and feet from neuropathy is about half of what it was, and I now have energy to get up and go all day long. I am now able to go to town by myself without worrying about blood sugar reactions, or poor eyesight. The days I require more insulin are the days that I'm not getting enough exercise."

Healing Crisis (Herxheimer Reaction)

Note from Shirley
Healing Crisis: As with all true natural cure, the road to better health may begin with a healing crisis. As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your  body over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like  symptoms and fatigue. This is called a healing crisis. You may feel worse before you feel better. As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing. For example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes may reappear or get worse for a period of time as your body eliminates toxins through the skin. You may also experience an initial increase in urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting worse, you are actually getting better. Eventually you will reach a plateau of better health. During the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted.  Lean more about healing crisis

Are You Really Meeting Your Animal´s Nutritional Needs?  Dogs/cats  --- Equine

Some of the ways Captive Wildlife at Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center have benefited from Organic Blue Green Algae (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae)

Metabolic Bone Disease (a common - and sometimes deadly - problem for captive wildlife raised on milk replacement products) - Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae Blue Green Algae (BGA) helps supplement the diet and put back missing elements that help build strong bones.

Skin and Coat Conditions - Animals kept in toxic situations (roadside stands, with constant diesel gas fumes) and climates unsuited to their natural habitat suffer a variety of maladies - loss of hair, frostbite, poor coats - BGA improves such conditions.

Malnourishment - nearly all captive wildlife are subject to malnourishment if they are kept outside licensed zoo and accredited sanctuary systems. Even "enough" food is not usually the "right" food. BGA stimulates appetites and food absorption, improving the overall metabolism of the Animals.

Joint Health - Many captive wildlife are confined in concrete cages, with no chance to exercise in a naturalized habitat. Discomfort is common in the joints, especially elbows, of Great Cats who have only concrete to lay on. BGA goes a long way toward relieving the pain and tenderness, while improving joint health, too.

Of the Sanctuary's 74 Animals (Lions, Tigers, Bears, Jaguars, Leopards, Mountain Lions, Servals, Bobcats, Coati Mundi), seven serious cases have been improved or eliminated through the use of Super Blue Green Algae, and all the other Animals have derived benefit in the various ways already listed.

Elephant Sanctuary
Parade magazine's issue of Sunday, February 24, 2002, featured a full-page article, including photographs, about the Elephant Sanctuary, the country's only protected natural habitat for Asian elephants. "Elephants arrive at the Elephant Sanctuary both physically and emotionally damaged. By using products like Blue Green Algae and Spectrabiotic we help elephants to recover from past traumas or simply maintain good health after a lifetime of mismanagement. Jenny [one of Carol's 'girls', age 34] spent her entire captive life performing in circuses, and was rescued from an animal shelter. She now receives daily supplements of Super Blue Green Algae that, interestingly enough, help to strengthen her injured knee. Another elephant, Sissy [age 40], had been mistreated by her handlers. When the assaults were videotaped, public outrage paved the way for Sissy's transfer to the sanctuary. She now receives Spectrabiotic daily to help counter her tendency toward colic and loose stools. In both cases we have seen a marked improvement in the health of these elephants." To read more about the Elephant Sanctuary and Carol's extraordinary work, visit www.elephants.com

Animal Care with Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA)

For thousands of years, animals in the wild thrived on a diet of natural, raw foods, which provided all of the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll their bodies were designed to use. But today, whether animals live in our homes, on our farms, or otherwise under our care, their diets are often very different than in the wild. Most of us feed the animals we love commercially produced diets. We take comfort in buying the best commercial diets we can afford and believe that our animals are receiving all of the nutrition they need.

Unfortunately, this belief just isn’t true. Commercial animal diets do not meet several critical nutritional needs for your animal(s) to achieve optimal levels of health. In fact, many veterinarians are concerned about the nutritional quality animals receive from commercial foods alone. In the spring of 1998, the Animal Protection Institute and the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, developed a survey to gauge veterinarians’ views about commercial diets and their impact on animal health. They found that 90% of their respondents were concerned about the quality of nutrition available from commercial animal foods.  more

Animal diets require not only high-quality protein, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins with their co-factor minerals and trace minerals, but also enzymes and “friendly bacteria” (probiotics) to function optimally, have a strong immune system and healthy blood, organs and tissues. Unfortunately, many of the nutrients they require are heat sensitive and critical nutritional properties are destroyed with high heat processing applications or improper storage. It is still common practice to not only use these damaging procedures, but also to use inferior ingredients in most animal foods in order to reduce costs.

Enzymes are necessary for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. When enzymes are not available to the animal from food because of cooking, processing, and storage that are part of even the best commercial diets, the body must compensate and risk depleting its own enzyme supply. In addition, commercial diets are fortified with synthetic vitamins and vitamin isolates instead of whole, natural vitamins. While the addition of these chemicals allows commercial foods to be legally considered “complete“ they do not provide the same benefits to the body that whole, natural vitamins and minerals provide. If these nutritional needs are unmet over an extended period of time, your animal will develop an impaired immune system. This may show itself in your animals by any number of symptoms, including increased allergic reactions, dry skin, dull hair/coat, and increased susceptibility to parasites.

Optimal Nutrition: The Missing Health Link For Animals

Millions of people give great care and attention to their personal health and nutritional well being, while ignoring some important members of their family: the pets! Believing that animal health is fully taken care of by regular visits to the vet and high quality pet food, pet owners nationwide may be missing a crucial part of the health equation. Many leading animal health experts point to lifetime nutrient malabsorption as the leading cause and hastener of many chronic ailments in the animal community.

"From domestic to wild, animals of all types have at least one thing in common with humans: Optimal nutrition provides optimal health," says Nancy A. Bozeman, D.V.M., M.S., B.S, of The Animal Doctor Clinic, Arlington, TX. According to Dr. Bozeman, obtaining a high level of nutrition is more elusive than one might think. "While 'gourmet' or 'fortified' pet food may be a hopeful solution," she says, "A big bag of synthetic supplements may not be the way to optimize an animal's health. Regardless of the treatments an animal may need, if you don't have superior nutrition you can't have superior results."

Your pets deserve complete nutrition, too. Many pet owners, show dog owners and other animal lovers are feeding AFA to their animals with amazing results.
 

Maintaining your pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles) on a daily amount of AFA may provide the following benefits:

Lustrous coats, silkier hair, more vibrant colors, better skin and less brittle nails.

Better general health, lessening of symptoms reported in arthritic animals.

Old animals act and feel younger.

reduced stress, better temperaments, increased immune systems, increased energy levels.

Testimonials of Animal Recovery

"It was March 3, 2000, three days after my trip from India when my son yelled to me in the kitchen, “Mom, Echo’s legs just collapsed, she can’t get up!” Echo is a purebred Australian shepherd who has reached the age 13 on a vegetarian diet, mostly dry dog food. Her arthritic condition made some show a year prior to her lame condition. I was using the AFA already and noticed all-around better health! But my family had full responsibility for Echo’s care in the month I was gone and went back to the old dog food regime, which I don’t blame them, keeping up with the raw food prep takes some conscious effort and time. I talked to a friend who recommended Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). Within 3 months, she was up and running again. The AFA was her primary food mixed with her regular old vegetarian dog food. She was taking it easily as I was too. The AFA was giving her energy and movement improved in her back legs. We all need love and attention to make any healing progress and I’m convinced that the AFA from AFA is from a loving source sold by caring people who also experience it’s healthful loving qualities that nurture from within." Kathleen Abelson - Ashland, OR

Bird´s testimony - Shimoda   "My ten-year old Caique, Shimoda, was a very beautiful, colorful bird: bright green, orange, yellow, white and black. When he was about three and one-half years old, just beginning his sexual maturity, I came home one day to find my beautiful bird had pulled out all his colorful feathers. He was now down to his all gray down feathers, and looked like he was wearing gray flannel underwear. I panicked. Then I found out that, allopathically speaking, this is common behavior for birds when they reach sexual maturity. Solutions could include making environmental changes, so I changed his cage, moved it, changed his toys, etc. However, on and off for the last six and one-half years he has plucked at his feathers. No matter what I did this didn't change much. I decided to feed Shimoda Blue Green Algae. I started feeding him a mixture of about 1/16 of a teaspoon of the algae and one teaspoon of water. He liked the taste, so he would take dropper after dropper full. His feathers started to grow back and he has been taking it ever since. He now looks beautiful. He seems happy; he is not pulling his feathers and they’ve grown in beautifully. And he enjoys getting his algae." Carin Segal

Cat´s and dog´s testimony - Walter, Cinnamon, Sparkle and Creampuff   "We've had terrible problems with all our animals (three cats and a dog) peeing and pooping where they aren't supposed to, on our hardwood floors under the table, on chair legs, on beds and in closets, etc. I started giving all four of them the AFA products, especially supplementing with enzymes, probiotics, Super Sprout & Alage and CoQ10 (in addition to Animal Matrix), based on what I had read and heard from our great holistic vets and on the chat list. It has helped tremendously. I started all this AFTER we took them to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong with them, and couldn't even suggest anything to try! According to the vet, our 10-year-old schnauzer, Walter, was simply experiencing "doggy Alzheimer's" for instance, and had "forgotten" that he was housebroken! The CoQ10 seems to have helped him the most, so maybe he was right. Anyway, it's such a relief and so fantastic to have something that works! To me it is just an "experiment in miniature" on what these products can do for us people too! Certainly made a believer out of my husband, who I have to admit was very skeptical at first, but now he takes the products religiously, and his digestive system is on track as a result."

Horse Performance and Recovery with Nutritional Support

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) has brought better equine health and the supplement's results are amazing. Horses eating AFA not only look better but have improved temperament, increased energy, stamina, and their hooves become stronger and more flexible.

Horses with hoof problems, active and inactive horses may all benefit from eating AFA. Maintaining your horse on a daily amount of AFA may provide the following benefits:
 

Better general health, strengthened immune system, quicker recovery from stress and high performance demands.

Stronger, more elastic hooves, clears up laminitis, white line, abcess, and dry-cracked hoof walls. Makes good hooves even better!

Better coat, much clearer eyes.

Improved disposition and attitude towards breeding and training.

What Breeders are Saying about AFA

“After feeding Chino, my world champion Paso Fino Stallion, AFA from Klamath Lake his temperament changed. The biggest difference was in breeding. Instead of taking 45 minutes with a mare, Chino now takes 5 minutes and has a much better attitude toward the whole breeding. His hooves also have improved. I have been eating the algae. I am feeling good. I have much more energy, and I notice that my hair and nails are growing faster.” - J.R. Morales, Owner/Trainer Ocala, FL

“I have been feeding the algae to my Champion Paso Fino horses, and to the mares that are breeding. The algae has helped very much. The foals are easier to wean, horses that were eating their tails stopped immediately, the mares that were nursing are in better condition and the horses coats look much better. Also a horse with laminitis cleared right up. I am amazed, and was very skeptical when you first told me about this food.” - Angel Usategui, Owner/Breeder Miami, FL

Pregnancy and Foal Health

“The AWS National Breeding Director, Nikki Atwell, purchased a TB mare that was underweight and in the last trimester of her pregnancy in 1997. This mare ate twice as much as all the other horses and would not gain weight. The foal was born and they both were underweight. The Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) was started as soon as it arrived to help the foal and the mare gain weight soon after the foaling. After a couple of months the mare gained weight while nursing a now, large foal, and again in foal herself. Our Vet couldn’t believe the difference in the mare’s condition. The mare’s hoof condition has improved, hoof wall improved dramatically, but the most noticeable change is her coat’s iridescence. The AFA has helped to create a healthy, vigorous horse from the inside out.” - Jean Brooks

Overall Horse Health

“My horses display a sense of well-being. AFA makes the horses better focused and prepared for training. They perform at their peak. Their coats and hooves have shown a marked improvement as well. They have increased stamina.” - Carl A. Nafzger, noted Trainer/Owner, Author of “Traits of a Winner”, trainer for Kentucky Derby winner ‘Unbridled’ , Trainer of Eclipse Award Winner Banshee Breeze, and Vicar – Winner of GR 1 Fountain of Youth and Kentucky Derby

“If someone were to ask me the most significant benefit to my top thoroughbred race horses that are eating the AFA is, I would say that the AFA enables them to perform at their very peak. The nutrition is everything.” Ian Wilkes, assistant trainer for Carl Nafzger, Kentucky

Other conditions improved with AFA: Laminitis, White Line, Abscess, Fungal, Cracked or Shelly Hooves, and in most cases significant recovery in Foundered Horses.

Proven Safe! Over 2 million pounds have been consumed - 96% by humans. Our Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), is Certified 100% Organic!

What we have discovered about APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE (AFA):
 

Allows your horse to perform at its peak

Supports the immune system, making your horse less susceptible to stress related illnesses

and viruses

Aids in repairing damage from Laminitis, Fungal, Abscess, and White line Disease

Improves Hoof Quality

Improves and Enhances your breeding program

Marked Improvement of baby and mother during weaning

Provides nutrition that no other food is capable of matching

Is part of the daily feed program of many of the nations top championship horses.

Clinical Case Studies

Farrier, Wayne Blevins and Veterinarians, Chris Voss DVM and Angie Stamm DVM of Slate Creek Veterinary Clinic, were presented with a 5 year-old Morgan gelding, named Rowdy, with severe abscessing and acute laminitis in August 2003. The owner, Chris Crowe of Shingle Springs, Ca. began feeding two ounces of AFA a day.

That's over 64 Micro-nutrients! A few examples include:
 

 Glycine - Calms the nervous system

 Glycogen - Increases physical stamina

 Histidine - Enhances nutrient absorption

 Selenium - Boost the immune system, relieves anxiety

 B Vitamins - Provides physical energy

.

This list could mean nothing!: Without assimilability (the ability of the body to utilize every bit of the nutrients) there are no results! Many scientifically formulated products will list many components. The key to all nutritional products is assimilability.

What makes AFA unique is that it is 97% assimilable. Compare that to 5% - 25% from synthesized formulas.

We recommend syringing the first ounce in his mouth, just like a wormer. After that he will recognize it and look for it in his food. You can keep on syringing if you like or just mix AFA in his feed, a teaspoon tucked into a flake of hay, or a frozen cube of AFA on top of feed or hay. Horses love it.

Prevention of cancer and viral infections with Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) 

Recently, the first stage of an extensive research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada produced some remarkable results. The entire project studies the effect of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as on general blood physiology. In the performance of this project it was discovered that eating AFA had a profound and unique effect on Natural Killer cells. These results were recently published under the title: Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells. It appears in Chapter 3.1 of the IBC Library Series, Volume 1911, "Phytoceuticals: Examining the health benefit and pharmaceutical properties of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals." (Currently at press.)

Before I give you the results of the research I will tell you the Natural Killer cells (NK cells) are part of our body's immune system, designed to search out and destroy abnormal cells, including cancerous cells and virally-infected cells.

It's important to know how big the problem is so you can appreciate how big the solution is.

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Worldwide, tens of millions of people die each year from cancer. In third world countries, viral infections are also a significant cause of mortality. In the United States, over one person out of every three will have cancer sometime in their life. Cancer is one of the most menacing and frightening things in the world today.

It is important to know how and why a person gets cancer. Please understand a complete explanation could fill a huge number of textbooks. It doesn't serve the purpose of this letter to get too complicated, so I'll keep it simple.

What is cancer?

Cancer is a condition in which cells undergo abnormal cell division. The average human body has more than 54 trillion cells. Millions die every day and must be replaced. The process of replacement is called cell division. One cell divides and becomes two. Normal cell division results in theproduction of two normal cells. Sometimes, due to various factors, a cell degenerates and starts to divide in a disorganized manner. The cell is then said to be cancerous. The malignancy or severity of the cancer depends on the rate of growth, the organ or tissue affected, the state of the immune system and many other factors.

What cause abnormal cell division? 

In a simplified way, substances that interfere with normal cell division are said to be cancer-causing substances or carcinogens. There are thousands of normal everyday chemicals found in our food, water, and air that are carcinogenic. The incidence of cancer is increasing because the number of industrial and domestic carcinogens is increasing. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may also lead to skin cancer. If 99.9999% of the cells were to divide normally, we would still have approximately 5,000,000 potential cancer cells produced everyday. You can conclude that at any point in time, your body contains cells that are potentially cancer causing. Whether or not you have cancer depends on the number of carcenogens you are exposed to, your ability to remove them and the strength of your immune system in eliminating newly-formed cancer cells. Before I write about the immune system and how it controls cancer, I want to tell you about the other menace that NK cells control?viruses.

What is a virus and how does it cause illness?

A virus is a sub-microscopic, illness-causing organism, consisting of pieces of RNA surrounded by a protein coat, having the ability to invade a cell and use its machinery to replace itself. Some commonly known viral conditions: Herpes, Rubella, Influenza, Yellow Fever, Rabies, Polio, Hepatitis, Mumps, Small Pox, Common Cold.

A virus travels through the blood and lymphatic system until it finds a susceptible host cell. It then attaches itself to the cell membrane and forms a channel through which it sends it's genetic material for duplication. The host cell is then forced to produce duplicate viruses until it is so full it bursts, scattering thousands of newly-produced viruses. They then seek their own host cells and a full-blown viral infection is underway. Viruses are transmitted by contact with infected mosquitoes, mice, pets, friends, air, water, food, bats, birds and insects. Whether or not you have a viral infection or cancer depends largely on the strength of your immune system.
What is your immune system?

It is a group of tissues and organs whose role is to protect our bodies against substances or organisms that could potentially cause a illness. The entire immune system is quite complex. It is composed of many organs and tissues (bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus gland...) that produce different kinds of cells having specific immune functions, as well as chemicals that modulate these various immune functions. One of these types of cells is called NK cells. They are a subset of T-cells. They are also called cytotoxic T-cells, meaning "toxic to other cells." One of their main functions in the body is to search for cancerous and virally-infected cells and kill them.

How do killer cells work?

NK cells have the ability to recognize cells that are cancerous or have been infected by a virus. The strategy used by NK cells is a drastic one?they directly approach cancerous or virally-infected cells and release strong free radicals in their immediate environment. The free radicals create a hole in the cell, and the cell then dies. The dead cell is later eaten by another kind of immune cell?the macrophages?the scavengers of the body. To leave the bloodstream and reach the tissues where they look for abnormal cells, NK cells have homing molecules on their surfaces to help detect infected cells and they use large molecules called adhesion molecules which allow them to crawl out of the blood, through the capillary wall, into the tissues.
The Punch Line

The team of research scientists at the Royal Victoria Hospital, led by Dr. Gitte S. Jensen, discovered that:

Within two hours after eating 1.5 grams of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, an average of 40% of the blood NK cells (one billion) left the bloodstream and migrated into the tissues. They further discovered that in some cases the NK cells that remained in the bloodstream had two to three times as many adhesion molecules as they did before the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae was eaten. After a few hours, the NK cells had returned to the bloodstream.

What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
 

More pictures of vaccine damage available to view at the CDC website

 "Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced." Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com

This child (below) died as a result of vaccines (CDC website)

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious illness in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic illness such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic illness in their November 22, 1997 issues. Learn more about vaccine and diabetes connection --- asthma and vaccine connection --- SIDS and autism and vaccine connection --- "Shaken Baby Syndrome": the vaccination link  One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the smallpox vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots by 2 years of age. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15 shots, by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all the recommend shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot. 

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only  test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)
