Hemoglobin's relationship to chlorophyll is that hemoglobin is a respiring, iron-containing protein that takes the oxygen we breathe, produced by photosynthesis, for which chlorophyll is critical, and distributes it throughout our bodies. In other words, plants are the only source of oxygen on this planet, and because oxygen requires chlorophyll for its production, it follows that we must have chlorophyll for hemoglobin to carry out its function.
All of our food comes from plants or from animals that ate plants, which then creates all of the tissue that makes up our bones, organs, and flesh. |

An article in the Idaho Observer quotes Ingri Cassel, president of the North Idaho chapter of Vaccination Liberation, regarding chlorophyll substitution for blood. Cassel relates two incidents of people who successfully restored their blood count and platelet levels back to normal by drinking one pint of liquid chlorophyll the night before scheduled blood transfusions.41
Chlorophyll helps to build red blood cells, which carry oxygen to every cell of the body. |

Because chlorophyll is not known to be an essential nutrient, a deficiency does not exist. People who do not eat plenty of green foods lack chlorophyll in their diets.
How much is usually taken?
Optimal levels remain unknown. chlorophyll in the amount of 100 mg two or three times per day can be used ro treat bad breath (page 209).
Are there any side effects or interactions?
No side effects have been reported with the use of chlorophyll.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE

Chlorella (a food algae) is one of the best sources of chlorophyll. It can heal liver toxicity and supply needed minerals to this hardworking organ. It can also soothe bowel tissue, stimulate bowel function, and reduce Candida overgrowth. A typical dose is 100 mg of chlorella daily. Other sources of chlorophyll are barley juice, wheat-grass juice, and spirulina (available at most health food stores).
Eliminating Yeast
As noted above, chlorophyll can be effective against Candida. Several other nutritional supplements have also been shown to be effective in treating candidiasis. |

Both chlorophyll and hemoglobin are structured around a por-phin ring, which is the building block of both molecules, with the difference being that the core of hemoglobin is iron, whereas the core of chlorophyll is magnesium. Each has its own unique function, and yet both are very similar in that they are the carriers of what gives life—chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis and hemoglobin is the red blood cell that carries oxygen to every cell in the human body. |

Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per gram than any other plant. Chlorella can speed up the rate of cleansing of the bowel, bloodstream and liver, by supplying plenty of chlorophyll. Chlorella and spirulina are used as nutrient-dense foods and sources of fine chemicals in their most natural forms. They have significant amounts of lipid, protein, chlorophyll, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and unique pigments. They may also have potent probiotic compounds that enhance health. (You will find three chapters in Survival Medicine for the 21s' Century devoted to Spirulina as a pure medicine. |

Anything that has chlorophyll has magnesium, since it is the center of the chlorophyll molecule.
Some people and especially children might develop a rash from using the magnesium oil when applied directly to the skin. Many children, if the magnesium oil is used at full strength, will feel a burning or stinging and this can be painful and if this happens the oil should be washed off quickly. In such cases you need to dilute the magnesium oil 50/50 with distilled or mineral water and when the body acclimates to the magnesium one can then build up to the full concentration. |

The popular breath-freshening gum Clorets capitalized on this connection between chlorophyll and deodorizing, but truth be told, chlorophyll packs a powerful wallop. Some practitioners recommend taking a few capsules or tablets on an empty stomach to support gut health and detoxification. And more fiber in your diet— always a good idea—promotes the elimination of toxins from the body. |

In addition to chlorophyll they contain protein, beta-carotene, and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).
SPIRULINA
Rich with chlorophyll, protein, beta-carotene, and the beneficial fatty acid GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), spirulina also contains a pigment called phycocyanin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and which, in one study, was shown to inhibit cancer-colony formation. The cell wall of spirulina is composed of mucopolysaccharides (MPs), which are complex sugars mixed with amino acids, simple sugars, and sometimes protein. |

Magnesium is required for chlorophyll to function properly; chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that's necessary for photosynthesis. No magnesium, no plant life. We humans need magnesium for more than three hundred enzymatic reactions, bone formation, and muscle and nerve function, in addition to the job of buffering acid waste from protein digestion.
Here are some problems you may suffer if you have insufficient magnesium:
?Your body will have more trouble converting vitamin D to the activated vitamin D that your body can actually use.

Parsley is high in chlorophyll and has agents that neutralize odors in the blood stream and lungs. Green vegetables, watercress, and alfalfa also have high levels of chlorophyll. Eat foods high in vitamin C and vitamin A, such as squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, red peppers, and citrus fruits, for their good dental health properties.
Supplements: Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps to keep teeth and gums healthy. Take 500-1,000 mg every four hours, or up to bowel tolerance; give children 250 mg three times a day. |

When we eat fresh fruits and vegetables we absorb the blood of the plant - the rich, nourishing chlorophyll. chlorophyll is the solar energy that the plant has absorbed from the sun, the richest and most nourishing food you can put into your body. "Chlorophyll is liquid sunshine." Green plants alone possess the secret of how to capture this powerful solar energy and pass it on to man and every other living creature.
When you put sunshine on the outside of your body and 60% to 70% raw fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, you are going to glow with radiant health! |

They are high in chlorophyll, which is a cleansing phytonutrient that actually purifies the blood, enhances liver function and helps detoxify the body, especially of heavy metals like mercury or arsenic. chlorophyll is a wonderful nutrient to get into your body, and of course you can only get it from consuming plants. But there is more to these cereal grass juices -- they also have phytonutrients that have been well demonstrated to treat chronic diseases such as cancer. |

Cilantro also does a great job. chlorophyll works wonders for cleaning your blood of toxins. But none of these can completely counteract the metabolic byproducts of consuming animal products and processed foods. So in addition to adding the healthier whole foods, you will need to work on cutting out processed foods and transitioning to the 3 principles of Unified Health Theory discussed earlier in this chapter.
