Toxicity In Today’s World- Ensuring Your Wellbeing By Being Aware
Harmful, Toxic Chemicals Enter Your Body Through The Following…
- food
- air
- water (drink and shower)
Ways To Protect Yourself From The Toxins Entering Your Body
- eat foods that are free of pesticides and chemicals, but that does not help to eliminate the toxins that enter your body in all the other ways.
- take chlorella- whole-food based, green algae, and one of the best natural sources to remove the toxic materials out of your body
Things To Consider
- Your body-naturally able to remove many of the harmful pathogens, chemicals and poisons you may come into contact with.
- 21st Century- more contamination than ever. The body’s ability to remove toxins can be easy overwhelmed.
- Explosion of diseases related to the accumulation of toxins:
- cancer
- auto-immune dysfunction
- brain disorders (ex,: autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
- nerve disorders
- Depression
- learning disabilities
- fatigue
- digestive distress
- reduced ability to properly assimilate and utilize fats
- aching joints
- impaired blood sugar regulation
- female reproductive problems
Mercury
- potent toxin
- can damage the brain, central nervous system and kidneys
- especially dangerous for children, fetuses, pregnant and nursing women and people who have high levels of mercury bioburden
Body Fat
- 100 times more toxins in the fat than in the blood
- decreasing body fat helps to dramatically remove toxins
- choosing the right foods and exercising are key
Infrared Sauna
- one of the most effective detoxification strategies
- use it one hour daily for a month
- hydrate well before and during the sauna treatment
- exercise for 30-60 minutes immediately prior to help liberate some of the toxins
Chlorella-Powerful Detoxification Tool
- helps your body naturally fight environmental pollution
- one of the most widely used supplements in Japan
- binds to lingering heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides in your digestive tract
- does not bind to the minerals the body naturally needs (calcium, magnesium, zinc)
- “knows” which chemicals belong in your body and which need to be removed
History, Benefits, Considerations, Recommendations
History And Benefits Of Chlorella
- one of the most widely studied food supplements in the world
- extensively studied as a food source (very useful for vegans and vegetarians)

- discovery of this heavy metal binding power- mining industry- pumped chlorella mixed with water into mine shafts to collect the residual metals
Things To Consider About Chlorella
- manufacturing process-break down the tough outer cell wall
- completely indigestible by humans (do not have the enzymes to break down its cell wall)
- tough outer cell wall- chemically responsible for binding with the toxins inside the body
- tough outer cell wall- cannot be broken down by our biology
- chewing/digesting chlorella will not release its powerful benefits
- source waters (grown and harvested)-free of contamination
- some people tolerate it better than others
- contains large concentrations of iron (for men, or postmenopausal women, excessive iron can be a problem- have your blood iron levels checked regularly to keep the iron in your blood within healthy levels)
Recommendations
- Broken Cell Wall chlorella from a naturally clean water source
- only form that allows the body to benefit from it
- start gradually to see how the body tolerates it
- begin by first eating small amounts of cilantro for a few days
- best results for detoxification- mixing chlorella with cilantro (organic)
