Spirulina

Spirulina is a powerful detoxifier. When I first starting taking it I was getting very strong heirxhiemer reactions. A lot of fungal dieoff and zits that didn't seem to stop. On top of this I was passing gas almost all day long. Eventually these symptoms began to fade and my overall status began to improve. So it's definitely anti-fungal, but I wonder if it's more because it's supporting healthy gut bacteria. Something it's claimed to do, but in my case the browner stools I experienced would be strong evidence of this.

When I first started taking the spirulina I kept increasing my intake by about 500mgs a meal every few days. I went up to about 20grams a day which I felt was too strong. The fungal dieoff was too much for my eliminatory organs to deal with. After a while I've tapered off my intake to about 1 to 2 grams per meal three times a day for maintenance.

Another thing I noticed when I started taking spirulina was that my fingernails began to grow in smoother with less ridges. I attribute this to the spirulina enhancing digestion and helping to absorb micro-nutrients.

Lastly, spirulina seems to really give me an increase in energy and vigor. I find that my muscles seem harder and my veins even seem to pop out a bit more. I feel stronger and less sensitive. I'm guessing this is do to the large amount of bio-available amino acids in the spirulina.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Spirulina works well with Chlorella. The general rule is to take half as much chlorella as you do spirulina. And you should increase your intake very slowly with both of these supplements as your body needs time to adjust and eliminate toxins before it can take more of it.

I use a brand of spirulina called EarthRise. I buy it by the pound to save money as spirulina can get expensive if you plan on taking it for long periods.
