Defensive Cancer Actions - Super Greens Chlorella & Spirulina

I know I've touched on this before but find it vitally important to again reiterate and perhaps more fully explain the reasons you should be adding these to your arsenal of cancer fighting steps.

Let's explain what Spirulina is and what it does:

Spirulina is a blue-green algae found in most ponds and lakes. It has been consumed for years by Mexicans, African and Asian people. It is considered a complete protein because well over half of it is consisted of amino acids. It is also a rich source of the complex B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, carotenoids, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). Because it stimulates the immune system, it may have antiviral and anticancer effects.

It was shown in Russia that children exposed to the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, and whose bone marrow was damaged, their immune system was greatly boosted by Spirulina.

In a study of 87 people who chewed tobacco with signs of precancerous mouth lesions, patients were either given Spirulina or a placebo. Lesions in the Spirulina group were more likely to disappear.

There are numerous other studies that have been done some of which are reported here:

Just by doing a search on the internet, you will find many, many more positive study results on this super food.

Now on to Chlorella, which like Spirulina, is a blue-green algae found in fresh water. It is a powerful de-toxifier, as well as an immune boosting supplement. I'm not able to say it better than some experts, so I'll just post their comments here:

"Chlorella. A freshwater single-celled green algae consisting of 60 percent protein, high levels of chlorophyll and vitamin A, and dozens of other nutrients. It's being researched as both an antiaging supplement and a cancer preventive."
Power Aging by Gary Null, page 149

"I also recommend the use of chlorella and/or Green Magma as a twice-daily green drink. Chlorella is a highly nutritive one-celled blue-green algae that is a powerful immune system stimulant that has also demonstrated anti-tumor effects. Research has shown that chlorella is able to repair the DNA system and increase serum albumin levels."
Treating Cancer With Herbs by Michael Tierra ND, page 304

"A chlorella extract has demonstrated antitumor and antime-tastatic effects in animal experiments. Chlorella has shown some experimental antiatherogenic activity and some radio-protective and chemo-detoxifying effects. It has shown some preliminary benefit in immune function and in some with fibromyalgia."
PDR For Nutritional Supplements by Sheldon Saul Hendle and David Rorvik, page 89

"In 1990, a study on chlorella was performed at the Medical College of Virginia. Fifteen glioblastoma patients were administered 20 grams of powdered chlorella and 150 ml of liquid chlorella, in some cases combined with standard chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. There was a significant increase in health and immune status immediately, and a striking 40 percent two-year survival rate was reflected in follow-up studies. This is extremely rare for this type of tumor, which normally might yield a 10 percent survival rate after two years."
Herbal Medicine Healing Cancer by Donald R Yance Jr, page 232

Chlorella has been shown, with regular use, to detoxify the body, regulate blood sugar, normalize blood pressure, build your immune system, clean the blood stream, protect the liver, help heal wounds faster...on and on and on. That's why it's called a super-green food!

Anyone who is facing cancer or has a history of cancer in their family, should be implementing these two super-greens into their diet immediately. Even if you go the conventional medicine route, adding these to your treatment can only increase your odds for a better outcome. It's well known that chemo and radiation destroy the immune system, so here are two inexpensive ways to boost that system. The sooner you get these into your system, the better!

Review: Cancer - Step Outside The Box


One of the best books I have read on the subject of cancer, it's causes, and how to address treating it in the least harmful way to your body (no chemotherapy or radiation). In my search for answers, due to three siblings in the last few years being diagnosed with the disease, I've read numerous information sites on the internet and have purchased several books to become more knowledgeable on this subject.

I've read Kevin Trudeau's book, the Budwig diet, the information on Essiac tea (I've actually helped my sister prepare this), vitamin B17 (laetrile), all the nutritional information I could get my hands on in support of preventing this disease...and I have found this book to be one of the best in supplying all this information in one place.

You will also read why your cells turn into "bad" cells and how they proliferate. Like it or not, your diet and environment have a lot to do with it and most people do very little in adjusting either one of these things once they've been diagnosed. Very few mainstream physicians ever make suggestions of adjusting your diet either and that's probably due to the vast majority of them not having been educated in that being the cause of most diseases. They are educated to treat the disease once it occurs...not on how to prevent it. Unfortunately, that whole education is based on remedies from the drug companies.

Cancer - Step Outside of the Box addresses all of the problems of why we are treated with the mainstream drugs, as well as, the steps you can take to save yourself. Some of the natural remedies do still require a doctor to monitor your progress and if you choose to use those types of remedies, you will still have to find a physician to assist you. It is ultimately your choice. There are references to direct you on the path to finding the right physicians and alternative medicine people that will be able to lead in the proper alternatives for your type of cancer.

It's a whopping 400 pages of information that every cancer patient or person who has a loved one diagnosed with this disease should read. There have been critics of this book who have said that the author, although mentioning the number of family members he has lost, never says whether they tried any of these solutions. They have also criticized the "lack" of editing and the number of typos and grammatical errors.

I find that to be of little consequence...the main information is what's important. The life you could save by reading this book, could be your own!
