These members of the microalgae family contain more chlorophyll than any other foods and were among the first life forms. According to Paul Pitchford in his book Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition, microalgae exist on the edge between the plant and animal kingdoms. In addition to chlorophyll they contain protein, beta-carotene, and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). |

See book keywords and concepts |  DHA is also found in microalgae (microscopic sea plants), some of which contain as much as 40 percent DHA by dry weight. While we don't eat microalgae, it is currently being cultivated, extracted, and sold as a DHA supplement with 100 to 300 mg DHA per capsule. Eggs from chickens fed flax or DHA-rich microalgae are also reasonable DHA sources, providing 60 to 150 mg DHA per egg. For those wishing to supplement, 1,000 mg of DHA and EPA from fish oil, or 200 to 300 mg of DHA from microalgae is recommended.
3. Consider including a direct source of GLA in your diet. Very few foods contain GLA. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Astaxanthin is harvested from microalgae, and is a pigment phytochemical that alga produce when they become stressed and think that their environment is changing for the worse.
It's the same pigment that makes shrimp or salmon look red, and when it is extracted from microalgae and encapsulated, it becomes an extremely potent antioxidant with tremendous health benefits. In some of the research I've done on astaxanthin, I've already seen how the nutritional supplement is practically eliminating arthritis pain in users. |

But at least the group's recommendation that consumers now avoid all processed meat products is a huge step in the right direction. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Many vegetarians supplement DHA produced from microalgae.
The FDA recently approved a commercially available omega-3 fatty acid supplement (Lovaza, Reliant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) at doses of 2,000 to 4,000 milligrams per day for treatment of high blood triglyceride levels. Although EPA appears to be more effective at lowering triglycerides, I prefer omega-3 supplements with equal or greater concentrations of DHA relative to EPA. Studies that show the benefits of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation typically start with about 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams of combined DHA and EPA per day. |

"Food of the Gods" raw chocolate with jungle herbs and nuts
You've never tasted chocolate like this: Creamy, rich, and constructed with 100% raw superfoods like goji berries, jungle peanuts, and even power foods like spirulina and E3 live. I've located a company in Florida that's making the most amazing raw cacao power foods you've ever tasted. I've conducted an interview with the founders of this small kitchen, and I'll bring you details on the products, how they're made and how you can get some for yourself! |

Healthy oils: Consuming regular quantities of healthy oils and omega-3 fatty acids makes a huge difference on the power and reach of your intention. Eat more chia seeds (www.GoodCauseWellness.com), avocados, raw coconut oil (www.RawFoods.com) and minimally processed plant-based oils. Fish oils can also be supportive if you choose to eat fish-derived products. Flax seeds serve a similar purpose for those who are vegetarian. |

High-density whole food concentrates provide real nutrition
In the world of holistic nutrition, we take whole foods from nature that are grown organically, or we take microalgae and other superfood supplements, and we dry them, grind them up, put them into powders, and then encapsulate those powders or shape them into pills or tablets. That's the way to get your nutrition in the modern world. |

CHLORELLA
Chlorella is similar to spirulina but contains just a little less protein, much less beta-carotene, and much more chlorophyll and nucleic acids. It has a tough outer cell wall that is believed to bind with heavy metals, pesticides, and other carcinogens, carrying them safely out of the body. Its chlorophyll content is higher than any food, and it contains higher amounts of fatty acids, about 20 percent of which are omega-3s. | | According to Paul Pitchford in his book Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition, microalgae exist on the edge between the plant and animal kingdoms. 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. | | Green Foods and Drinks

(cereal grasses: barley grass and wheatgrass; and microalgae: spirulina, chlorella, and wild blue-green alga)
If dogs happen to be a part of your family, you've undoubtedly seen them eat grass. Why? No one really knows. Some people believe that dogs eat cereal grasses because they contain nutrients not found in meat that are essential for the animals' good health. One thing is for sure—grass is a rich source of nutrients, and "green foods" made from cereal grasses and algae are among the healthiest foods I know of for humans. |

In rodents, the provision of pure omega-3 oil from microalgae has been shown to reduce the number of blood vessels that feed breast tumors by 43%. [Clinical Cancer Research 12:5879-86, 2006]
Omega-3: halts metastasis
Another stark fact is that with all of the cancer treatments that have been developed in the past decades, none address metastasis, the spread of cancer to other organs that is responsible for 90% of the mortality among cancer cases. | | A 78-year-old with terminal lung cancer, with only a few weeks to live, was given pure omega-3 fish oil from microalgae, and corn oil (containing omega-6 oil) was withdrawn from his diet. Five years later he was still alive. The lung tumors were still there, though they had shrunk a little. Pardini's patient was actually a two-year-old mouse (the equivalent of an 78-year-old human) [Science Daily Nov. 14, 2005] Dr. Pardini found that tumors in mice fed corn oil grow faster and become larger. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Start eating lots of berries and microalgae (spirulina, astaxanthin, blue-green algae, etc.), and you'll build up an internal sunscreen that will protect your skin from sunburn from the inside out. Sunburn is actually caused by nutritional deficiencies that leave the skin vulnerable to DNA mutations from radiation, but if you boost your nutrition and protect your nervous system with plant-based nutrients, you'll be naturally resistant to sunburn. The same nutrients, by the way, also protect the optic nerve and eyes from radiation damage. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While going about his work of raising marine phytoplankton to feed the shellfish, as an experiment, Tom began consuming half a teaspoon of the concentrated microalgae each day along with a drink of water. Within a few weeks he astounded his doctors with his recovery. A subsequent biopsy examination found no malignancy evident in his body. In addition, the diabetes that Tom had developed had also been corrected. Within six months, he had reduced his daily insulin requirement from 88 units to zero; his blood sugar counts returned to normal.6 In short, Tom returned to full health.

Whole Life Food Concentrate (from Bernard Jensen International of Escondido, CA) is a chlorella/superfood concentrate also worth trying.
Microalgae can be preserved for many years and thus serve as an efficient nutritional source in times of food shortage. Because of quality-control issues, use microalgae products that are either U.S. |

See article keywords and concepts |  This is because spirulina is harvested from ocean waters, so the microalgae is absorbing and assimilating the minerals naturally found in the ocean into its own structure. When you consume spirulina, you are absorbing those minerals into your own body, so it's a great way to get mineral supplements without taking them as isolated dosages.
And, of course, there's the effect of the active phycocyanin nutrient in spirulina that has been experimentally shown in Japan to shrink and eliminate breast cancer tumors in mice. |
