CHLORELLA: The Key to Health, Vitality and Longevity

The whole food supplement that is nature’s answer for today’s most perplexing health problems. * Written by Mark Drucker, M.D.

From the Preface

There are three main reasons why chlorella has helped many of my patients…even when drugs or typical treatments failed.

Chlorella is a potent stimulator of your body’s natural defense system. The most powerful weapon we have against sickness and disease is the immune system. On a daily basis billions of immune cells battle against a constant barrage of enemies including: viruses, bacteria, parasites, and cancer— all threatening to attack from inside the body and out. In the Orient, traditional medical treatments often include natural substances derived from plants, mushrooms or microbial organisms such as algae and fungi. Known as “biological response modifiers,” these substances improve the capacity of the body’s immune system. Chlorella is well known in the Japanese scientific community as a biological response modifier. In fact, studies have consistently confirmed that chlorella can provide critical benefits for the health of individuals with suppressed immune systems caused by toxins, illness or side effects of convention¬ al medical treatments.

Chlorella has been proven in numerous studies to have the ability to bind with, and remove chemicals and heavy metals, to relieve the body of its toxic burdens. Industrial toxins, heavy metals, carcinogenic chemicals, bacteria and a whole host of unwelcome visitors threaten our health daily. As I hold the tiny tablets of chlorella in my hand, the first thing that pops into my mind is how these “dark green wonders” can protect against a wide variety of toxic marauders lurking in the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Toxic suppressors are, without controversy, the most destructive force in our world that robs us of our health. Although we can’t completely avoid environmental toxins, clearly one of the most effective ways we can limit our exposure is by consistently taking a regular dose of this cleansing “superfood” with each meal.

Chlorella nourishes the body with valuable nutrients. Highly processed convenience foods have derailed our diets by substituting the “staff of life” found in whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables with complex carbohydrates such as processed flours, grains and sugars. As part of my practice, I stress to my patients the importance of eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, natural grains and other healthy foods. But with today’s depleted soils, growing methods, processing and shipping methods, even “healthy” foods may be lacking some of the key vitamins, nutrients and minerals our bodies need. Chlorella is a concentrated source of unique, natural, non-synthetic nutrients. It can help provide critical nutritional support that certainly is lacking in the diets of most of us.

Extensive scientific research proves that this microscopic green algae is indeed a phenomenal healer. According to the late Dr. Bernard Jensen, nutritional expert and author of Chlorella: Gem of the Orient, “chlorella is possibly the most thoroughly researched food of our times, with thousands of research papers, from many universities and medical schools.” Numerous studies in Germany, the United States, Israel, England, China and Japan clinically document that chlorella can:

  • Boost the immune system, increasing your resistance to bacteria, viruses, chemicals and other foreign invaders.
  • Cleanse and remove toxins from your body, including pesticides and heavy metals.
  • Protect against cancer-causing agents and help to prevent cancer’s recurrence.
  • Help repair damaged tissue and heal diabetic ulcers and wounds.
  • Protect the heart and reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
  • Promote brain wellness and fend off memory loss and Alzheimer’s.
  • Regulate digestion and support proper bowel health.
  • Revitalize your energy level and stimulate your metabolism.
  • Reverse the aging process and promote longevity.
