Re: Amla-C plus supplement?

I haven't tried it, and because of the spirulina, I recommend that you

don't either. As to the assertions of high rates of equivalency, well, who

knows. You can find similar assertions for other sources, like acerola,

camu camu, and so on. And besides the spirulina, I'm wondering what sort

of processing is involved in order to form tablets if they're really honest

and there are no fillers, binders or excipients.

Synergy's Pure Radiance C _might_ be a better bet. It has amla berries and

camu camu as well as other good stuff, but it does have freeze-fried

buckwheat sprouts, which I'm rather dubious of. I'm pretty sure Suze's

tried that one; maybe she could share her experience with it.

Spirulina was eaten by both the Aztecs and Africans, and was a prized

food. What do you have against it ?

AFAIK Aztecs weren't models of health, and which Africans are you talking

about? At any rate, spirulina is difficult to digest and can cause and

aggravate digestive problems, and it can also aggravate preexisting immune

problems.

I believe the aztecs, in there prime, were quite a remarkable

civilization and incredible advanced in numerous ways. By the time

the spaniards came, many believe they were already a dying

civilization due to numerous factors (the main one I believe was the

declining amount of animal foods available).

Record has it that the Aztec Messengers would carry only spirulina

cakes on there long long runs to deliver ... messages.

It was used by the Kanembu people of Africa, and they got it from Lake

Chad. They mixed it with about %70 of there food, and pregnant

mothers would eat the cakes often, thinking it would protect their

babies from the eyes of sorcerers.

" Up until the 1200's, the Kanembu were the most powerful people group

south of the Sahara, advancing their position by importing technology.

However, their empire rapidly declined during the 1500's under the

strength of other more aggressive and powerful rulers. "

I've actually noticed it benefits my digestion greatly, judging mainly

by the looks of my stool. I attribute this to the fact that studies

have shown it to boost the reproduction rate of lactobacillus by four.

The Amla C I got was loose powder.Spirulina and me don't get along either.

Was hoping it was a less acid producing form of C too, but was wrong.

Could you describe those benefits?

At any rate, people's systems vary, but if there's anyone whose advice I'll

take without bothering to independently verify it myself, it's Elaine

Gottschall's on what foods to eat for purposes of digestion. Though in

this case too I've looked into the subject at moderate length myself.
