Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 " it says its made from alfalfa leaves " Suz A few posts back I think someone mentioned that alfalfa was an immune suppressant. Are all alfalfas alike? I've been searching for a chlorophyll too, but they all seem to have alfalfa in them. Is dried up wheat grass juice any better? Its green!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Dear Suz, I think you do have the right liquid chlorophyll. The one I buy is from " Nature's Way " called Chlorofresh derived from alfalfa too. One tablespoon equals 50 mg of chlorophyllin copper complex. It should be kept in the fridge after opening. >>>do we get the same good dietary benefits from juicing dark green leafys? or is there something unique about actual liquid chlorophyll from alfalfa? ==>You may be getting similar benefits from juicing dark green leafys, depending upon the leafys you use. Alfalfa is unique because grows very long tap roots up to 18 inches long that reach very deep into the soil pulling out nutrients. It contains organic minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium and almost all known vitamins, as well as being very high in chlorophyll.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 thanks for the info, bee! i've been taking it for a few days now, and i like it. its strange to think that something like this can be so beneficial, i'm used to getting my chlorophyll from plants that are still alive. it looks like green food coloring! another green drink i've loved for years is Green Magma. have you heard of it? its spray-dried (so enzymes are intact) barley grass juice powder. just add water! when i was in my vegan phase, i discovered it. and i loved it the first time i tasted it! it tastes like milk to me, the same richness and sweetness. which is a bonus for me, being pretty sensitive to most dairy. growing up, one of my favorite things in the whole world was a cold glass of milk, so this was a dream come true for me after stopping the consumption of dairy. interesting, in that pasure fed cows eat green grasses all day, and this green grass juice tastes like milk! anyhoo, since i read about the benefits of liquid chlorophyll, i have really been enjoying it. and its less expensive than Green Magma! thanks for the tip. ~ love, suz (with a green moustache!) > ==>You may be getting similar benefits from juicing dark green > leafys, depending upon the leafys you use.

I like taking it too. It seems too simple to be so helpful doesn't it? >>>another green drink i've loved for years is Green Magma. have you > heard of it? ==>I've heard of it but I haven't tried it. >>>its spray-dried (so enzymes are intact) barley grass juice powder. just add water! when i was in my vegan phase, i discovered it. and i loved it the first time i tasted it! it tastes like milk to me, the same richness and sweetness. which is a bonus for me, being pretty sensitive to most dairy. growing up, one of my favorite things in the whole world was a cold glass of milk, so this was a dream come true for me after stopping the consumption of dairy. ==>That's excellent it replaced milk for you. Who would have thought? > interesting, in that pasure fed cows eat green grasses all day, and > this green grass juice tastes like milk! ==>Interesting correlation isn't it? > anyhoo, since i read about the benefits of liquid chlorophyll, > i have really been enjoying it. and its less expensive than Green > Magma! thanks for the tip. ==>Great! Sometimes I mix a few things together in warm water - clove oil, eyebright, black walnut extract and liquid chlorophyll. The eyebright is a bit sweet so it tastes good.

I thought from reading here > that it was loaded with vitamins, minerals and enzymes. This looks like it is just copper with some sodium. Do I have the right thing? It looks like it is for people who have had a colostomy. I just want to make sure about this. ==>For a total list of ingredients you may need to contact the company, but if you got Clorofresh you can be assured it is loaded with vitamins and minerals - it is made from alfalfa.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 According to Chinese medicine chlorophyl is a cold type of food. If your body has to much cold in it - you'll notice that when you have the urge to urinate soon after you drink something cold f.i. - chlorophyll might cool you down too much. I have taken it, but I have more discomfort in the bladder when I take it. So I quit it for a while, until the bladder trouble is really over. It is a terrific detoxifier though. It has helped me a lot to clear up the terrible brain fog I had from mercury intoxication (amalgam fillings). a I just started taking this today. I am getting some slight discomfort in the intestine area. Is this to be expected? I took 1 TBSP this morning, but decreased it to 1 tsp. this afternoon.

I didnt believe the bottle's claims that it acts like an internal deoderizer but it's true! So, I'm pretty sure it's going to live up to the other claims made in Bee's files.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 >> > Will chlorophyll help with cleansing at all? i.e. will it help with> constipation? ==>Mainly it is recommended to help get rid of heavy metals along with the diet and other supplements - for more information about its benefits see " Chlorophyll - Its Many Wonders and Benefits " in the files after all of the Folders.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 > > Hi Bee, > > Why don't you recommend liquid chlorophyll supplements any longer? ==>Hi Jane. At the beginning I recommended chlorella which helps get rid of heavy metals. But over time I found too many members didn't do well taking chlorella so I substituted it with liquid choloropyll. As I learn more and more about nutrition I realized this high " good " fats program is the best way to cleanse and get rid of heavy metals. Not long ago one member wrote to me offlist, and I became concerned that some people might take too much liquid chlorophyll, which contains copper (plus other nutrients of course), but they might not take enough vitamin C (minimum of 4,000 mg per day) to keep copper levels down. When Doug reported that both he and his wife had diarrhea I realized that most people cannot start taking 4,000 mg of vitamin C all at once, because it can cause diarrhea (loose stools). Vitamin C must be started at low doses and gradually increased to avoid getting diarrhea or loose stools. For people who change over to this diet too fast, that much vitamin C at the beginning can help with constipation caused by lowering carbs too quickly. Since I am making recommendations to such a wide audience of people it thought it was better to eliminate the liquid chlorophyll totally. The original reason it was on the program no longer applies, mainly because of my ongoing research and learning. I also eliminated taking vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate (ascorbic acid mixed 50/50 with baking soda) after learning that baking soda is antifungal and it's high sodium content can throw off mineral balances. Now I recommend taking only ascorbic acid mixed in water with meals because it can upset the stomach without foods, and also to rinse the mouth well after drinking it because it can be hard on the teeth.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 > > Hi Bee, > I'm slightly confused about the Chlorophyll issue, (I stocked up) as you are no longer recommending it, does this mean it is not safe to use or can I finish what I have? What brought about the change? ==>Hi . Sorry to throw this clinker into the works. I wrote a complete explanation earlier this morning - see if you can find it. You can use up what you have, at the same dose, IF, and only IF you consistently take 4,000 mg of vitamin C per day. If you don't or if your doses vary, cut back on the amount of liquid chlorophyll to 2 teaspoons per day. Also every 2 weeks do not take any liquid chlorophyll to allow your body to adjust itself.
