Chlorella grown outdoors is full of heavy metals. She always mentions that her chlorella is grown with tripled filtered spring water which is great but conveniently doesn't mention all the contaminates that fall out of the sky into the ponds while it's being grown. Her product (Recovery Bits) is actually priced almost 3 times as much as other companies that buy their bulk chlorella from the same exact company in Taiwan that grows it outdoors. She doesn't actually own the chlorella factory. She just uses his company to source her ingredient. The cost for a bag of her 'Recovery Bits' is $130 for 1000 tablets. This is completely insane! For comparison, I get 2200 tablets for only $54 of the cleanest chlorella that comes from a factory in Korea where it's grown indoors under tightly controlled conditions.
Thank you for the great information! I know that this information is about people, but I have to tell you about my dog Zoey. She is an American bull dog and in May of 2021 she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her Veterinarian gave her about two months to live. Her lymph nodes in her neck were very large. I didn't have the money for chemo or anything else. I had been researching sparkling for myself. I read about all of the good things that spirilina could do including slow down or stop cancer. So I bought spirilina in powder form and I started putting it in her food every day. Zoey is still alive and doing good today. Its been over 2 years since she was diagnosed. Spirilina hasn't stopped the cancer, but i believe it has slowed it down significantly. I believe spiralina is a big part of why she is still here today.
🙌🙌🙌💯 Amen Hallelujah Congratulations!! ThANK you so very much for taking the time to write your feedback!!!! I keep telling my daughter to holistically treat her dog.🙏
You sound very passionate!You also say that you like to do more for the people. Please lower the price so your product will be more accessible to those who need it the most.
I just bought both spirulina and chorella from Swansonsvitamins (very reasonable). seems no heat extraction- they also sell Hawaiian Spirulina very excellently priced
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 20 years ago and even been hospitalized several times because the episodes got really bad, I hate the meds they’ve given me for it, but ever since the pandemic, I started taking chlorella and spirilla and it seems to be controlling the disease…. I haven’t had any flare ups since
yes Ive been working with it since 1985 when i got off drugs. Went to Germany came back in 2016 abd really have fallen in consciousness . Ready to leave Im more Euopean , need warmer people, U.S. too cold for me.
Thank you. I live in Taiwan, and I literally have a huge bottle of high purity spirulina on my counter, completely neglected because I never knew how healthy it was. Going to start taking them now. Thanks again.
Dr gountry I am from România and I whach your very interesting videos since a long time. I find your guest very interesting and her informations very important . Thank you very much for the video.
For those out there that want the same nutrients but cheaper options. There moringa powder that have very similar nutrients as spirulina, same nutrients moringa have more, some spirulina have a bit more, also moringa is anti cancer plant, and that's the reason because very rich in all nutrients, including all the amino acids in the right proportion that our body absorbs. If I'm not wrong it may lower in iodine.
@@hillkadash8869 I buy mine in Brazil, and I also have a small moringa tree. Any organic brand will do it! The only nutrient moringa have a very little of, is iodine. You can eat seaweed separately and it should cover all nutrients needs for good health.
Enjoyed the information. Side effects need to be mentioned! Have an autistic son who experiences seizures. Thinking they might be due to mitochondrial dysfunction, I gave him spirulina this morning. He's had 4 seizures so far today! Most ever. Be careful. Especially if you've had seizures!
The extra seizures might be due to his diet. Carbohydrates are the worst when it comes to people that experience seizures. You could look into the Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting to help your son. All the best. God bless you.
Dr. Gundry talks about amazing benefits of fasting in children with seizures in another video. Please check it out. Some children stopped getting seizures all together.
I’m neurodiverse with diagnosed ADHD and suspected ASD - I’m highly allergic to spirulina, and I’m surprised it’s used so commonly such as can even be added to candy for green colouring. My reaction is that I vomit non-stop for 12-18 hours, and it’s life threatening. I’m a very healthy person diet wise so I don’t believe what one person told me that I was ‘toxic’ and I was detoxing, this is not the case. I have detoxed many times, and also had spirulina reactions many times, completely different. Spirulina needs to be researched. I find it really interesting someone else with autism has had a bad reaction although different.
Has your son always had seizures or something developed after vaccines have you looked into boosting the gut bacteria also detoxing of heavy metals has been helping a lot of kids who suffered after vaccines
I wish prices were lower for our wallets , also. Nearly impossible for extremely low income$$$$ seniors in our 60s 70s & 80s enjoying the ideas of HEALTHY LIFE. WE NEED GOOD FOODS Supplements. Powder form is easiest form to work with !!!! So. Powder form ought be easier to package. Beauty bits products etc. Lower prices are truly ESSENTIAL VITAL health for SENIORS. WE ARE TO BE TREASURED & CHERISHED ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Said that mothers Rock the world. So true, we all get our mitochondrial DNA from our Moms. So Mom's literally carry, hold and burp the future of humanity. My Mom was a super energy bunny, healthy, strong, beautiful. Thank you Mom.
2.13.2024 I'm usually not one for podcast, but this was great. The video somehow popped up on my feed and caught my attention. Years ago, I used to drink spirulina practically daily for months. Yes my skin had a nice glow to it and I was able to reverse "allergies" I'm thinking of starting it again as I approach 50. Thanks for this interview
I was excited while listening to this video about energy bits and spirulina. However when I went to their website I was saddened by the price. I can't afford what they want. I know some will say you can't afford to be without them. The reality is when you're on a meager fixed income you have to make choices on what you can buy or not buy. Maybe in a few years the price will be more affordable when the newness of these wears off or more competition gets in onthis new fad. Until then I will continue to eat sprouts.😊
I’ve had spirulina powder from Food Coop in Lexington, KY. I love the taste of spirulina. I tried it as a thickener making gravy. If you can get past the color of the gravy, I loved the flavor and texture, velvety smooth. (much like xanthan gum, also a bacteria- use too much and it becomes slimy, spirulina doesn’t seem to) Spirulina has all that nutrients in it.
@@meenakothari7841 I’ve done it… no juicer? Just chewing on a wad of wheat grass and you can get some out of it. I think it’s better than nothing. However algae is the best thing ever for me.
I just purchased some of her products. I have been exposed to mold, and it has been hell the last 2 years. Tried everything to get better. Diet, exercise, binders, supplements. I am hoping to go back to being normal. Praying.
Mold illness is pure suffering. Heart beat issues, autonomic dysfunction, pots, dizziness, gut issues, slow motility, anxiety and panic, connective tissue issues, blurred vision, fatigue, tinnitus, MCAS… HELL! Been fully out for a year but I’ts hell. Still trying to recover. Focus on adrenals and liver health
Plant base diet was really big in the 50's, 60's, 70's and on in the Black Muslim community in America. I remember my mother giving us spriulina as a child in the 80's. She used to cook with sea weed and put it in our soups amoug other things . Its a beautiful thing to see our nation embrace eating more vegetables and sea weeds. Health is truly wealth. They are doing a great job educating the public.
Seaweed and algae are not the same thing.....these types of algae can come with MANY serious risks....microcystins, heavy metals, BMAA which is toxic to mammalian cells, and potentially algal viruses linked to parkinsons... ADVICE: DONT LISTEN TO WHAT THESE TH-camR CLUELESS SCAMMERS AND HUCKSTERS ARE SAYING GUNDRY IS ALL LIES FOR PROFIT...AND THIS WOMAN IS A COMPLETE AIRHEAD...
Plants or meat are ok as long as they are not processed. Also, what animals eat and the conditions crops are grown in. Even packaging makes a difference. We have made so many healthy foods unhealthy.
Remember how much healthier everyone looked as opposed to our relatives and friends. I was born in the Muslim movement back in 1966. Along with my parents upbringing, thryt started my being healthy at an early age! My parents are still in good health because of it. I look younger than all of my classmates, friends etc. I don't do any of the Religion stuff though. I'm spiritually self employed. I've experimented and researched and educated myself on super foods supplements herbs and other healing modalities. When it comes to meat the body types and races vary. One size does not fit all and you still have to keep in mind, the agendas are about making MONEY... Find what works best for you. Especially if you're mixed race. I love Spirulina and Chlorella. Pasture Raised Eggs Lamb Beef Turkey Mahi Mahi Salmon other fatty fish. Some of my sources of fat and protein. I stay away from Pork although I do enjoy a few pieces of bacon once or twice a month. I've seen many trends, they come and they go and the band-wagoners in search of magic bullets for weight loss and managing health issues go with the latest fads and would be cure alls. Only to slide back into old habits.
I have had spirulina powder in my cabinet for years and have used it only sporadically in smoothies. I am a veteran with PTSD and sleep issues. I had no idea that spirulina and chlorella were so powerful. I wish I could show you all a photo of my kitchen counter which is filled with individual supplements that I pay a small fortune for. I am looking forward to consolidating through using Energy Bits and Recovery Bits. I have always wanted a kind of one-and-done supplement like these. I know there are others I will continue to take but I am relieved to know that I can take several supplements off my list. Thank you for this information. Ordering today!
Remember Dr Bernard Jensen? He taught us and has written so many book on the subject of Chlorella and how important it is to take it. He also spoked about Sun Chlorella the Japanese brand to be the best and most pure. Read Dr Jensen’s books if you can find it!!! They are fantastic! He has written near 100 books
Yes! I learned so much from Dr Jensen. Hardly anyone gives him credit where credit is due. His book was incredible and eyrodology also. Thanks for bringing that up
Spirulina and Chlorella are no doubt super foods. But unfortunately she is only emphasizing her own brand which is hell expensive. And she claim if u use other than her mentioned brand, you are not going to get any benefit. This is absurd
Catharine is an amazing woman and her products are outstanding! She is extremely knowledgeable and 100% dedicated. After taking just ONE tablet I was hooked! I do not work for her or anything! Just sharing my experience!
@PInk77W1 even being able to do one pull-up is great! I've always been athletic, taught spin classes etc, but I've not ever been able to do a pull-up. I'm 63 now.
@PInk77W1 I've been taking Seravital for the past 4 years, I researched it and saw it was a blend of amino acids, what a difference it has made in energy level! I feel lively like I did in my 30's. Check it out.
We don’t have her brand in South Africa but we have the tablets let me tell you I felt was coming down with flu took a bunch of them high dose the next day my symptoms were gone
@@joymitchell-alderman1494 I HAVE NOT TRIED HERS i just saw hers today...But, have been using Spiurlina in my morning smoothies and wow!!! i have so much energy, my skin is looking beautiful for 67 ys Old and my memory is clearing us and my mind is sharper! So, i would never pay as much as she is trying to charge. i have been using cheaper stuff, but i will upgrade to that which has not been processed using high heat. That being said, any kind you get will help alot. But, getting the better quality is for sure better. Hare Krishna
12:32 First of all the lady is (lying) about Taiwan being the gold standard to grow algae, you could grow this stuff with "triple filter" springwater anywhere ,she's growing it there because she wants to make as much profit as possible . She doesn't think we all know that when you make everything over in Asia it's because that maximizes profit??? Hello! Also why would anyone listen to what someone has to say who's also the sales person for their product, of course she's gonna make it sound great, she's trying to make money off of it , can you say "conflict of interest."
She says that people were not talking about plant-based nutrition 15 years ago? Are you kidding me? These doctors, researchers, etc think they are the ones discovering things now when pioneers, true pioneers, were the ones who truly sacrificed and paved the road they all walk on now. I appreciate all of the. Don't get me wrong, but the environment is more accepting now because of the sacrifices unsung heroes gave to teach about plant-based nutrition. I was taking these 30 years ago. Because I learned about it from others.
sorry but this woman is nothing but a money mongler looking to take whoever is willing to jump on her bandwagon for a ride! The information is out there. You just have to look! I was taking this long before we had cell phones and the internet. I used to buy it at my local health food store
Spirulina can live in ponds up to 116° ....spray dried in drums have all of there enzymes intact after drying. Most spirulina is processed this way and are juat as alive as freeze dried. Had a room mate that bought some earthrise powder spirulina that miss placed it in the tip top cabinet in the kitchen in the way back. Expiration date was over 20 years old, it had gone thru 95° to 100° days of at least 30 of those a year since my house is kinda poorly insulated in the east bay of northern California. Made a smoothie with a heaping tsp, got that brain rush that good spirulina can do. Spray dried spirulina is a archival food, i would put it past the wheat berries found in the pyramids of giza, that some could be sprouted into a plant today. For extremes of survival. I have no doubt that that powder thrown into a body of water, give it some bicarbonates would spring into life. Yeah if you are a vegetarian the algaes would be a life saver.
My point is all spirulina commercially produced is just as alive an bioavailable whether spray heat processed or freeze dried. I'd go by price then the illusion that freeze dried is a superior product.
@@sl4983 Radiation! Chlorophyll eats Radiation for breakfast lunch and dinner. It was recommended by Ann Wigmore to put your wheatgrass trays at the base of your tv screen to absorb the rays instead of you absorbing them. It helps it grow
BG Algae has been around for a long time. This is great info love it! For us canadians though this brand is very costly. ($48 USD just for shipping!) I do believe Gandalf Hawaiian Spirulina is very good too .
I’m 82. Been eating biodynamic food since I’m 29 when it is available. People have always been trying to eat clean and nourishing foods. A supplement of spiraling Is surely warranted but I would not consider it my main menu…it was a bit overwhelming hearing the presentation . Especially since I am sensitive to both food & drugs. However when I was menopausal I did supplement with Chlorella…it’s been around for a long time and it did help.
@@claradiblasi354biodynamic means food grown using biodynamic principles. Biodynamic agriculture was a system devised by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher, theologian & pedagogist who set up Waldorf schools. Biodynamic describes the increased nutrients & energy life force of the food grown using this method.. if youre looking for some b.d. food, try organic farmers markets or seek out a Waldorf community to see if they grow biodynamic food. ❤
@@piakozaris1432wow, ALL this VALUABLE Information and you think it’s because they want to sell you? I would reflect, seriously. You couldn’t get better insight and knowledge, but that’s just me! Healthy, Happy and love a quality conversation, like this
Thank you so much for letting all us that are looking for longlife span and brilliant health a sure way. But please are you sure there is nothing you missed out in getting the right stuff or how administered the product you got. Please you are of good help a lot of people check and share❤❤❤ Thanks.
If you didn't notice any difference in health after taking for some time, maybe its not the healthy kind she speaks of and probably why hers is so expensive. As she mentioned, the processing is important, also there are many knockoffs(fake) of everything around
At some point in South Africa , Minister of Health Dr. Manto Shabablala ,may her soul rest, adviced people to drink Spirulina, was still young at that time, somehow l love spiruiliana it has been around for years. Great and gold information ,thank you.
I’d like to see the data that chlorella removes glyphosate. Very interesting that she talks about soil depletion but then is excited to be at a conference with Bill Gates who is one person responsible for soil depletion.
One concern about Spirulina as a protein source to me is according to Energy Bits own labeling a serving size of 30 tablets only has 5g of protein. At ~130 USD for 900 tablets, that would run out in 30 days and for only 5g of protein daily. Even though the protein can be readily absorbed and is a complete source, this still means that it isn't practical as a replacement for other protein supplements. I've been searching for vegan protein supplements that could really fit this bill. Everything else presented seems really amazing though. Also, Dr Gundry, you've mentioned in the past that it's recommended to take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 according to a UCSD study. 1 serving (30 tablets) on the label of Energy Bits Chlorella shows 14mcg on the website per server (10 bits?), whereas my 5000 IU D3 bottle at home has 125 mcg. I'm just trying to understand how this could really replace the supplements I have in my cabinet. Am I wrong for looking at it this way?
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts about this product. I for one was a bit disappointed when I saw the price. I did comment about that too. My solution is to eat more sprouts.
Wow she looks amazing for 67!!! I was trying to guess her age, was falling around 50 up to 56 because of the grey hair more than anything! Wow, she looks amazing!! 👏
I've got news for you, 67 isn't old, it's young. What is lacking in her diet that has caused the grey hair? She has deep horizontal lines above her upper lip like those of a smoker. Why is she so hyper?
I was a bit concerned when she said you can't take too much of it. The advice some sellers give is start with a small amount and work up to the full amount because it can give you stomach problems.
The cost of this is prohibitive for those of us who need it the most. I am healthy at 74 on a basically plant based diet, but her research is compelling. I would like to help my friends who dont want to follow a healthy diet. I would very much like to know other companies that provide potent absorbable Alge products.
Great Information. Has she tried fresh Spirulina? I've been consuming fresh for 3 years, and OMG, this stuff is fantastic. It's so yummy you can eat it right off the spoon like pudding. This should be mentioned in her informational lectures since fresh food is best and available at a much lower cost.
I’ve just started taking Naturya Green Superblend (wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, hemp protein powder, with some pineapple powder to make it that bit more palatable, etc) with almond milk, and it’s quite tasty. Available from Amazon UK, Tesco etc. Not cheap (£15 for 250g pouch, £7 for 100g) but well worth it, IMHO. ✅🖖
In fact, I’ve been adding Naturya Organic Turmeric SuperBlend (turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper powder) into my diet for a while. Combining the green and turmeric superblends should make for quite a potent drink! 😎🖖
@@Axlotl77 Yes, I was buying wheatgrass some years ago from a local specialist store, but now that the mainstream supermarkets (and Amazon) are offering these superblends at such a good price, it’s a no-brainer. 👌
Please check if you're consuming milled wheatgrass or a juice powder. We don't have enzymes (Or two stomachs like cows) to digest grass you can damage your intestine consuming just powdered grass. Juice powder is slow dried and contains no harmful, indigestible materials
This may just be one of the most informative and educational videos out there shedding light and spreading awareness on health & nutrition. Sincerely grateful 👍🏼
I apologise the markups are not 90% but only 89%. The Vitamin and supplements industry needs a complete revamp, control, and coherent review throughout North America. I take a small amount of Moringa, Spirulina, Maca, Ashwanghanda, and cinnamon daily with my honey and two lemons. Then, I turmeric with raw chocolate, pepper, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and flax seeds. Life goes on without any grey hair yet at 66. Perhaps my monthly 2 litres of olive oil.
Hi can you please give me her contact or something, the interview ended with neither of them giving any information as to where to purchase this stuff. Thanks
Is it as good as she is saying I am trying all these things to try to stop 2 monthly seizures. I am on keto & have just added MCT as keto or ketovaore has not stopped them & I have refused meds since 2012. The seizures started in 2004 from a TBI.
I would recommend starting slow on the chorella because I took several tablets the first time and ended up throwing it all up . I intend to continue to use it but will only take 1 or two tablets and build from there.
Thank you for your information! Taking 30 tablets per day make a big bag last a month. Taking spirulina and chlorella multiple the cost by 2! 120$ X 2=240$! Considering exchange rate for Canada ends up to 356$ per month, not considering shipping!!! Not everyone can afford it!
I totally agree with you and there are not many reviews either . I believe her target is mostly about people who don't really payatention to price and living in US . She is not a doctor nor scientist ???
This was a very interesting Pod Cast but it also felt like a hard sell product promotion like you get a time share conference. If Catharine Arnston help up the product one, she held it up a hundred times and by the time i got 3/4 of the way through the Pod Cast i was ready to call it a day. So PLEASE stop the hard sell promotion, it really is very annoying and has really put me off buying this product. I would like to have more scientific facts as the boards she held up very briefly were really hard to see if they backed up her wonder claims. I do not doubt that these products work well but when people are promoting so hard sell then you start to step back and wonder, is this a snake oil or the wonder product she says it is? I will have to do some more research.
Thank you for teaching and explaining the major health benefits of including Algae supplements. i am 66,! I work as an early childhood educator, so I am always looking to keep my energy levels up. I am ordering the Spirulina right now.
Great podcast! ❤You always ask great questions too Dr. Gundry and you don’t leave the interviewer off the hook, as in you ask the questions we want asked and you challenge your guests even if you are friends. Really excellent style. Thank you for your great podcasts. ❤❤❤
So 30 tablets a day is a serving?? That’s like 33 days worth. So basically I’ll have to spend a $130-$160 a month??!!! Another example that only the rich get to live! Bring the price down to $40 for a month worth and I’ll buy it.
I’ve been taking spirulina a tea spoon on an oatmeal breakfast smoothie every morning since the 80s and a look a lot younger than my counterparts, the effect dramatically goes away after about 40 days or two months of not using it, dramatically for sure in energy, cheers friends, by the way I enjoy pretty much a vegetarian and physically active life, is how I like life to be❤
She should work on lowering her expensive prices Health ranger store has also very clean lab tested spirulina and chlorella with half price or less of energybits
Okay, I'm a normal dude here and guess what. I saw an advertisement for this stuff and my aged energetic mom (still mows her lawn lol) has made this a part of her life so after I saw an add I tried it when I heard the science (mitochondria) and guess what.....mm hm. It works (gives energy). Normal dude lol.
Thank you great to hear what you are doing . I only wished you prices were more cost effective . so many seniors are on board about health , but your prices alone would kill them LIGHTN UP. V
Thank you Dr. Gundry for this podcast! I found this PROFOUNDLY INFORMATIVE!!! I've always wondered about the differences between the two. I use to drink Spirulina protein shakes in my 20's and was in the BEST shape of my life. Now I understand why! I've also taken lots of Chlorella and again, I felt invincible! My doctors would always ask me why I was there in their offices! LOL! Fit as a fiddle! Thanks for the information.
Many indigenous cultures relied con algae especially during war time. The Aztecs relied on spirulina they collected from water and rocks. They also ate mostly plant based. Another thing they ate are purple potatoes aka Japanese purple potatoes. Spanish Inquisition changed all of that though. At home we make spirulina or chlorella guacamole, add it to soup, add it to our sardines and anchovies, make smoothies with it etc etc. I yet to make spirulina tortas that azteca use to make along with other popular Mexican greens that support and clean your kidneys and liver. Very interesting how much we've regressed from what our ancestors knew and did. Btw spirulina is what helped me get healthy before conceiving, during pregnancy and after😊
If I understand correctly when adding both algae to your diet in sufficient quantities you can stop taking other supplements such as fish oil ( omega 3 ) , glutathione and Q10 for instance. I would like to know if there are any conter indications in case of a thyroid problem .
These two algae contain virtually NO OMEGA-3!!! You need to look at Ocean derived algae - Nannochloroposis gaditana contains Omega-3 ALA/EPA/DHA/DPA within a cell-ready phospholipid matrix. Ocean based fish don't eat chlorella or spirulina which are FRESH WATER algae. Folks need to get educated.
Yes, I can’t take too much iron. It seems these products would not be good for me. My iron level is already too high, and my doctor stopped me from taking iron and vit c for a while.
I noticed that she said eating one pill was equal in nutritional value to a whole plate of vegetables. But this couldn't be true because whole raw or steamed vegetables contain both soluable and insouable fiber, which although not vitamins, are great for colon cancer prevention, digestion, helps us go poo, and being an emulsifier, essential for mopping up bad cholesterol in the blood. As for the way it's harvested, I only know that anything grown in China is full of arsenic, lead, and a host of other nasty chemicals used in their factories and literally disposed of in their rivers and lakes. This is especially true of rice grown in China, it absorbs these chemicals like a spinge. I only use rice grown in California, but the FDA analysis found that any rice grown in the USA is by far the cleanest, having only trace amounts. Well she makes the spirulina sound like its really something good, She seems like she really knows her shit I think I'm adding it to my diet.But NOT 30 tablets a night!
The tablets are too expensive. I buy both spirulina and chlorella in bulk 5 pound bags. Mix a tablespoon of each together with powdered bentonite clay and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, along with 16 ounces of water, and shake it up in a mason jar. This is my morning detox drink.
Some forms/formulas are more bio available than others so you could feasibly take a smaller dose of something and have a greater benefit from it. I just looked up that a tablespoon of spirulina weighs 7 grams, four of which are protein. Gram for gram it has a higher concentration of protein than any other plant or meat source.
Anyone on HRT… be careful. See my general post in the comments. More than 200mg of spirulina is contraindicated for high dose rhythmic hormone replacement 🤦🏼♀️ I’m months into recovery from taking it, forgetting it was on the no no list.
@@trendycollections127I think it’s safe to think it’s a plant even though technically it’s not because there’s no structure like plants but many scientists still call it a plant.
I am diagnosed with lupus. Theoretically, spirulina should be avoided, especially if medicated with immunosuppressants, which most patients with autoimmune diseases are administered. I think I just read that spirulina is anti inflammatory tho, so I wonder how it works if off meds and getting the immune system to homeostasis instead of overacting
Thanks for the exciting info!I’d love to try both of your products if you give me a clear answer on my Qs. I’m 56 with hypo-Hashimoto. Can I still take spirulina and Chlorella? It wouldn’t counteract my thyroid medicine?
I’ve been on levothyroxine since 2000 and I’ve been taking spirilla and chlorella for about 2 years now and it hasn’t affected my thyroid meds at all… but I’m no dr
Awesome video ! Thanks for the information . I would love to know if a person with an autoinmune disease can take them , fue to iodine , I don’t know if they are high in iodine ? Which is not recommended for autoinmune disease . Thank you
I too asked the very same question on the instagram account only last week as I too have an autoimmune disease. Because they help with inflammation, I have decided to keep taking them and should I experience any problems or my blood results come back a bit suspect, I will stop taking them. I do feel better for taking them and also knowing they are full of goodness and cannot harm you. Good luck 😊
Yesterday, I attended a ND doctor who told me of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide killing cancers! Has had it do miracles for known persons! Also, treats toe nail fungus successfully!...so I begin @ 82! I have been trying to heal since 2006! 🙏🤗😇🥰
Chlorella grown outdoors is full of heavy metals. She always mentions that her chlorella is grown with tripled filtered spring water which is great but conveniently doesn't mention all the contaminates that fall out of the sky into the ponds while it's being grown. Her product (Recovery Bits) is actually priced almost 3 times as much as other companies that buy their bulk chlorella from the same exact company in Taiwan that grows it outdoors. She doesn't actually own the chlorella factory. She just uses his company to source her ingredient. The cost for a bag of her 'Recovery Bits' is $130 for 1000 tablets. This is completely insane! For comparison, I get 2200 tablets for only $54 of the cleanest chlorella that comes from a factory in Korea where it's grown indoors under tightly controlled conditions.
This is great information, thank you, dude!
so you have to take spirulina to get rid of the heavy metals lol
Will check out/Thanks. Wondering if you have any links for a good start? Thanks again
Where can you buy Korean chlorella in the US?
The cleanest comes from Japan it’s called Sun-Chlorella
Thank you for the great information! I know that this information is about people, but I have to tell you about my dog Zoey. She is an American bull dog and in May of 2021 she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her Veterinarian gave her about two months to live. Her lymph nodes in her neck were very large. I didn't have the money for chemo or anything else. I had been researching sparkling for myself. I read about all of the good things that spirilina could do including slow down or stop cancer. So I bought spirilina in powder form and I started putting it in her food every day. Zoey is still alive and doing good today. Its been over 2 years since she was diagnosed. Spirilina hasn't stopped the cancer, but i believe it has slowed it down significantly. I believe spiralina is a big part of why she is still here today.

You can get all kinds of the same thing she sells (Spirulina & Chlorella) at any decent health-food store for less than she charges.
Is hers cracked wall?
yes please, unless you only want to service the rich and famous.
Manic super woman behaviors results 😮 ???
Just shows again that you can not be poor and healthy in America.
I just bought both spirulina and chorella from Swansonsvitamins (very reasonable). seems no heat extraction- they also sell Hawaiian Spirulina very excellently priced
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 20 years ago and even been hospitalized several times because the episodes got really bad, I hate the meds they’ve given me for it, but ever since the pandemic, I started taking chlorella and spirilla and it seems to be controlling the disease…. I haven’t had any flare ups since
Patty, what brands do you use for your chlorella and spirulina?

Isn't the high protein bad for your kidneys.
Thank you. I live in Taiwan, and I literally have a huge bottle of high purity spirulina on my counter, completely neglected because I never knew how healthy it was. Going to start taking them now. Thanks again.
Dr gountry I am from România and I whach your very interesting videos since a long time. I find your guest very interesting and her informations very important . Thank you very much for the video.
Me too, I just realized it, I'll start using it
what brand do you use? hope I can purchase that
@@SpotiVlog dear I am în România....
@k.h.p.9862.. what brand do you have so I can research where to buy? please 🙏
For those out there that want the same nutrients but cheaper options. There moringa powder that have very similar nutrients as spirulina, same nutrients moringa have more, some spirulina have a bit more, also moringa is anti cancer plant, and that's the reason because very rich in all nutrients, including all the amino acids in the right proportion that our body absorbs. If I'm not wrong it may lower in iodine.
I use a powdered combination of moringa and spirulina.
And is not as expensive as what she is selling.
Which one do you use?
@@hillkadash8869 I buy mine in Brazil, and I also have a small moringa tree. Any organic brand will do it! The only nutrient moringa have a very little of, is iodine. You can eat seaweed separately and it should cover all nutrients needs for good health.
What is seaweed
Enjoyed the information. Side effects need to be mentioned! Have an autistic son who experiences seizures. Thinking they might be due to mitochondrial dysfunction, I gave him spirulina this morning. He's had 4 seizures so far today! Most ever. Be careful. Especially if you've had seizures!
Be careful with where you source your spirulina most are neurotoxic
The extra seizures might be due to his diet. Carbohydrates are the worst when it comes to people that experience seizures. You could look into the Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting to help your son. All the best. God bless you.
Dr. Gundry talks about amazing benefits of fasting in children with seizures in another video. Please check it out. Some children stopped getting seizures all together.
I’m neurodiverse with diagnosed ADHD and suspected ASD - I’m highly allergic to spirulina, and I’m surprised it’s used so commonly such as can even be added to candy for green colouring. My reaction is that I vomit non-stop for 12-18 hours, and it’s life threatening. I’m a very healthy person diet wise so I don’t believe what one person told me that I was ‘toxic’ and I was detoxing, this is not the case. I have detoxed many times, and also had spirulina reactions many times, completely different. Spirulina needs to be researched. I find it really interesting someone else with autism has had a bad reaction although different.
Has your son always had seizures or something developed after vaccines have you looked into boosting the gut bacteria also detoxing of heavy metals has been helping a lot of kids who suffered after vaccines
Her Spirulina is so potent. Good Job Catharine Arnston, I love your product but I wish you can lower the price please!

I'm usually not one for podcast, but this was great. The video somehow popped up on my feed and caught my attention. Years ago, I used to drink spirulina practically daily for months. Yes my skin had a nice glow to it and I was able to reverse "allergies" I'm thinking of starting it again as I approach 50. Thanks for this interview
I was excited while listening to this video about energy bits and spirulina. However when I went to their website I was saddened by the price. I can't afford what they want. I know some will say you can't afford to be without them. The reality is when you're on a meager fixed income you have to make choices on what you can buy or not buy. Maybe in a few years the price will be more affordable when the newness of these wears off or more competition gets in onthis new fad. Until then I will continue to eat sprouts.😊
Go with the stuff you can afford and see how you do. I’m getting mine from an outlet food store. Very green stuff.
I’ve had spirulina powder from Food Coop in Lexington, KY. I love the taste of spirulina. I tried it as a thickener making gravy. If you can get past the color of the gravy, I loved the flavor and texture, velvety smooth. (much like xanthan gum, also a bacteria- use too much and it becomes slimy, spirulina doesn’t seem to) Spirulina has all that nutrients in it.
Grow your own wheat grass 7 days from seedling ..and eat that . Cheapestn healthy also. Grow in 7 pots on window cill

You can buy much cheaper pure and tested & certified… this is way too expensive 👎
I love the way you allowed her to speak and explain everything also! So many podcasters interrupt. ❤
The podcasters interrupt at important moments when good info we want will be spilled, only to have the podcaster change the subject!
I just purchased some of her products. I have been exposed to mold, and it has been hell the last 2 years. Tried everything to get better. Diet, exercise, binders, supplements. I am hoping to go back to being normal. Praying.
Mold illness is pure suffering. Heart beat issues, autonomic dysfunction, pots, dizziness, gut issues, slow motility, anxiety and panic, connective tissue issues, blurred vision, fatigue, tinnitus, MCAS… HELL!

Plant base diet was really big in the 50's, 60's, 70's and on in the Black Muslim community in America. I remember my mother giving us spriulina as a child in the 80's. She used to cook with sea weed and put it in our soups amoug other things . Its a beautiful thing to see our nation embrace eating more vegetables and sea weeds. Health is truly wealth. They are doing a great job educating the public.
Eat your meat
@@g.c.w3382 A plant-based diet is when you eat more vegetables than meat... I eat meat, just less than the average American diet.
Seaweed and algae are not the same thing.....these types of algae can come with MANY serious risks....microcystins, heavy metals, BMAA which is toxic to mammalian cells, and potentially algal viruses linked to parkinsons...
ADVICE: DONT LISTEN TO WHAT THESE TH-camR CLUELESS SCAMMERS AND HUCKSTERS ARE SAYING
GUNDRY IS ALL LIES FOR PROFIT...AND THIS WOMAN IS A COMPLETE AIRHEAD...
Plants or meat are ok as long as they are not processed. Also, what animals eat and the conditions crops are grown in. Even packaging makes a difference. We have made so many healthy foods unhealthy.
Remember how much healthier everyone looked as opposed to our relatives and friends. I was born in the Muslim movement back in 1966. Along with my parents upbringing, thryt started my being healthy at an early age! My parents are still in good health because of it. I look younger than all of my classmates, friends etc. I don't do any of the Religion stuff though. I'm spiritually self employed. I've experimented and researched and educated myself on super foods supplements herbs and other healing modalities. When it comes to meat the body types and races vary. One size does not fit all and you still have to keep in mind, the agendas are about making MONEY... Find what works best for you. Especially if you're mixed race. I love Spirulina and Chlorella.
Pasture Raised Eggs Lamb Beef Turkey Mahi Mahi Salmon other fatty fish. Some of my sources of fat and protein. I stay away from Pork although I do enjoy a few pieces of bacon once or twice a month. I've seen many trends, they come and they go and the band-wagoners in search of magic bullets for weight loss and managing health issues go with the latest fads and would be cure alls. Only to slide back into old habits.
I have had spirulina powder in my cabinet for years and have used it only sporadically in smoothies. I am a veteran with PTSD and sleep issues. I had no idea that spirulina and chlorella were so powerful. I wish I could show you all a photo of my kitchen counter which is filled with individual supplements that I pay a small fortune for. I am looking forward to consolidating through using Energy Bits and Recovery Bits. I have always wanted a kind of one-and-done supplement like these. I know there are others I will continue to take but I am relieved to know that I can take several supplements off my list. Thank you for this information. Ordering today!
I am going to do the self same thing. It is amazing the health benefits that these two powders/tablets provide. Good luck going forward 🥰
Same thing here....big bottle sitting behind dozens of supplements now in use thanks to this podcast

Remember Dr Bernard Jensen? He taught us and has written so many book on the subject of Chlorella and how important it is to take it. He also spoked about Sun Chlorella the Japanese brand to be the best and most pure. Read Dr Jensen’s books if you can find it!!! They are fantastic! He has written near 100 books
Yes! I learned so much from Dr Jensen. Hardly anyone gives him credit where credit is due. His book was incredible and eyrodology also. Thanks for bringing that up
Spirulina and Chlorella are no doubt super foods. But unfortunately she is only emphasizing her own brand which is hell expensive. And she claim if u use other than her mentioned brand, you are not going to get any benefit. This is absurd
Check out Nutrex Hawaiian - they have a great reputation and they make what they sell.
My mother was giving us Spirulina back in the 70's. We seem to forget all these great products as time goes by.
Catharine is an amazing woman and her products are outstanding! She is extremely knowledgeable and 100% dedicated. After taking just ONE tablet I was hooked! I do not work for her or anything! Just sharing my experience!

12:32 First of all the lady is (lying) about Taiwan being the gold standard to grow algae, you could grow this stuff with "triple filter" springwater anywhere ,she's growing it there because she wants to make as much profit as possible . She doesn't think we all know that when you make everything over in Asia it's because that maximizes profit??? Hello!
Also why would anyone listen to what someone has to say who's also the sales person for their product, of course she's gonna make it sound great, she's trying to make money off of it , can you say "conflict of interest."
She says that people were not talking about plant-based nutrition 15 years ago? Are you kidding me? These doctors, researchers, etc think they are the ones discovering things now when pioneers, true pioneers, were the ones who truly sacrificed and paved the road they all walk on now.
I appreciate all of the. Don't get me wrong, but the environment is more accepting now because of the sacrifices unsung heroes gave to teach about plant-based nutrition.
I was taking these 30 years ago. Because I learned about it from others.
You are correct! But I would not have known about it in todays time if it wasn't for Catherine Arnston.
sorry but this woman is nothing but a money mongler looking to take whoever is willing to jump on her bandwagon for a ride! The information is out there. You just have to look! I was taking this long before we had cell phones and the internet. I used to buy it at my local health food store
@@GinaMusings I agree with you!
Absolutely
Spirulina can live in ponds up to 116° ....spray dried in drums have all of there enzymes intact after drying. Most spirulina is processed this way and are juat as alive as freeze dried. Had a room mate that bought some earthrise powder spirulina that miss placed it in the tip top cabinet in the kitchen in the way back. Expiration date was over 20 years old, it had gone thru 95° to 100° days of at least 30 of those a year since my house is kinda poorly insulated in the east bay of northern California. Made a smoothie with a heaping tsp, got that brain rush that good spirulina can do. Spray dried spirulina is a archival food, i would put it past the wheat berries found in the pyramids of giza, that some could be sprouted into a plant today. For extremes of survival. I have no doubt that that powder thrown into a body of water, give it some bicarbonates would spring into life. Yeah if you are a vegetarian the algaes would be a life saver.
I've kept mine in the freezer and add it to OJ
So what is your point
My point is all spirulina commercially produced is just as alive an bioavailable whether spray heat processed or freeze dried. I'd go by price then the illusion that freeze dried is a superior product.

Used both the spirulina and chorella … didn’t notice a big difference in my health or energy.
Overpriced, and am concerned about contaminates.
If you didn't notice any difference in health after taking for some time, maybe its not the healthy kind she speaks of and probably why hers is so expensive. As she mentioned, the processing is important, also there are many knockoffs(fake) of everything around
Take Moringa leaf powder , look it up ,
Maybe you took too little of it
Wish I had known of this before I lost my husband earlier this year of Prostate Cancer.😢💔

I’d like to see the data that chlorella removes glyphosate. Very interesting that she talks about soil depletion but then is excited to be at a conference with Bill Gates who is one person responsible for soil depletion.
Bill Gates and Bill Cllinton? Why would she want to be at a conference with those two scumbags? Strange she mentions them.

One concern about Spirulina as a protein source to me is according to Energy Bits own labeling a serving size of 30 tablets only has 5g of protein. At ~130 USD for 900 tablets, that would run out in 30 days and for only 5g of protein daily. Even though the protein can be readily absorbed and is a complete source, this still means that it isn't practical as a replacement for other protein supplements. I've been searching for vegan protein supplements that could really fit this bill. Everything else presented seems really amazing though. Also, Dr Gundry, you've mentioned in the past that it's recommended to take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 according to a UCSD study. 1 serving (30 tablets) on the label of Energy Bits Chlorella shows 14mcg on the website per server (10 bits?), whereas my 5000 IU D3 bottle at home has 125 mcg. I'm just trying to understand how this could really replace the supplements I have in my cabinet. Am I wrong for looking at it this way?
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts about this product. I for one was a bit disappointed when I saw the price. I did comment about that too. My solution is to eat more sprouts.
I don't believe for a second that it could replace all other supplements. That was just over the top.

Look at her lips.
I was a bit concerned when she said you can't take too much of it. The advice some sellers give is start with a small amount and work up to the full amount because it can give you stomach problems.

The cost of this is prohibitive for those of us who need it the most. I am healthy at 74 on a basically plant based diet, but her research is compelling. I would like to help my friends who dont want to follow a healthy diet. I would very much like to know other companies that provide potent absorbable Alge products.

Great Information. Has she tried fresh Spirulina? I've been consuming fresh for 3 years, and OMG, this stuff is fantastic. It's so yummy you can eat it right off the spoon like pudding. This should be mentioned in her informational lectures since fresh food is best and available at a much lower cost.
I’ve just started taking Naturya Green Superblend (wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, hemp protein powder, with some pineapple powder to make it that bit more palatable, etc) with almond milk, and it’s quite tasty. Available from Amazon UK, Tesco etc. Not cheap (£15 for 250g pouch, £7 for 100g) but well worth it, IMHO. ✅🖖
In fact, I’ve been adding Naturya Organic Turmeric SuperBlend (turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper powder) into my diet for a while. Combining the green and turmeric superblends should make for quite a potent drink! 😎🖖
Wheatgrass alone is wonderful
I can only imagine how much energy this will give you
@@Axlotl77 Yes, I was buying wheatgrass some years ago from a local specialist store, but now that the mainstream supermarkets (and Amazon) are offering these superblends at such a good price, it’s a no-brainer. 👌
Omit the Wheatgrass and replace it with Moringa, and make your own to save a bundle of money.
Please check if you're consuming milled wheatgrass or a juice powder. We don't have enzymes (Or two stomachs like cows) to digest grass you can damage your intestine consuming just powdered grass. Juice powder is slow dried and contains no harmful, indigestible materials
This may just be one of the most informative and educational videos out there shedding light and spreading awareness on health & nutrition.

How of the spirilina powder to take
I apologise the markups are not 90% but only 89%. The Vitamin and supplements industry needs a complete revamp, control, and coherent review throughout North America.

Life goes on without any grey hair yet at 66. Perhaps my monthly 2 litres of olive oil.

If Catharine Arnston help up the product one, she held it up a hundred times and by the time i got 3/4 of the way through the Pod Cast i was ready to call it a day. So PLEASE stop the hard sell promotion, it really is very annoying and has really put me off buying this product. I would like to have more scientific facts as the boards she held up very briefly were really hard to see if they backed up her wonder claims. I do not doubt that these products work well but when people are promoting so hard sell then you start to step back and wonder, is this a snake oil or the wonder product she says it is?

Health ranger store has also very clean lab tested spirulina and chlorella with half price or less of energybits
Thanks for that!!👍
@@walterscott2286 the price of health ranger store is 3 times less than energybits
The quality is top notch
Okay, I'm a normal dude here and guess what. I saw an advertisement for this stuff and my aged energetic mom (still mows her lawn lol) has made this a part of her life so after I saw an add I tried it when I heard the science (mitochondria) and guess what.....mm hm. It works (gives energy). Normal dude lol.
What other supplements are still needed if these are taken? Vitamin D3, Magnesium for example?
Where can I buy this?
Thank u so much my sister . God bless u for such great info . I shall surely be one of your greatest supporters
Wow, 30 tablets a day 😮 on my Spirulina bottle it says 2 tablets a day.
You should start slowly. It has a strong side effect at beginning
What the heck I know.
Thank you great to hear what you are doing . I only wished you prices were more cost effective . so many seniors are on board about health , but your prices alone would kill them LIGHTN UP. V
Catharine Arnston did a beautiful job describing this, thank you.
Thank you Dr. Gundry for this podcast! I found this PROFOUNDLY INFORMATIVE!!! I've always wondered about the differences between the two. I use to drink Spirulina protein shakes in my 20's and was in the BEST shape of my life. Now I understand why! I've also taken lots of Chlorella and again, I felt invincible! My doctors would always ask me why I was there in their offices! LOL! Fit as a fiddle! Thanks for the information.
Many indigenous cultures relied con algae especially during war time. The Aztecs relied on spirulina they collected from water and rocks. They also ate mostly plant based. Another thing they ate are purple potatoes aka Japanese purple potatoes. Spanish Inquisition changed all of that though.
At home we make spirulina or chlorella guacamole, add it to soup, add it to our sardines and anchovies, make smoothies with it etc etc. I yet to make spirulina tortas that azteca use to make along with other popular Mexican greens that support and clean your kidneys and liver. Very interesting how much we've regressed from what our ancestors knew and did. Btw spirulina is what helped me get healthy before conceiving, during pregnancy and after😊
i JUST HAD A ORGANIC PURPLE POTATOE
SOUP? heating them would kill the enzymes. that's why she said if you buy elsewhere the processing is important either raw or frozen not cooked.
Good Stuff. I don’t mind your selling the food. She is dropping facts!
I never eat alone, I always eat with my mytochondria... You are the real deal, great episode ❣️you are amazing and appreciated 👌
If I understand correctly when adding both algae to your diet in sufficient quantities you can stop taking other supplements such as fish oil ( omega 3 ) , glutathione and Q10 for instance.
I would like to know if there are any conter indications in case of a thyroid problem .
These two algae contain virtually NO OMEGA-3!!! You need to look at Ocean derived algae - Nannochloroposis gaditana contains Omega-3 ALA/EPA/DHA/DPA within a cell-ready phospholipid matrix. Ocean based fish don't eat chlorella or spirulina which are FRESH WATER algae. Folks need to get educated.
Yes, I can’t take too much iron. It seems these products would not be good for me. My iron level is already too high, and my doctor stopped me from taking iron and vit c for a while.
I noticed that she said eating one pill was equal in nutritional value to a whole plate of vegetables. But this couldn't be true because whole raw or steamed vegetables contain both soluable and insouable fiber, which although not vitamins, are great for colon cancer prevention, digestion, helps us go poo, and being an emulsifier, essential for mopping up bad cholesterol in the blood. As for the way it's harvested, I only know that anything grown in China is full of arsenic, lead, and a host of other nasty chemicals used in their factories and literally disposed of in their rivers and lakes. This is especially true of rice grown in China, it absorbs these chemicals like a spinge. I only use rice grown in California, but the FDA analysis found that any rice grown in the USA is by far the cleanest, having only trace amounts. Well she makes the spirulina sound like its really something good, She seems like she really knows her shit I think I'm adding it to my diet.But NOT 30 tablets a night!
Thank You Doctor Gundry.
How friendly are these two products to kidneys?
Im going to start the spirilina again. Hoping to have the energy and joy she has
Spirullina have neurotoxins check it before You eat that
what about Sea Moss vs Chlorella?
I have heard that taking spiralina actually blocks vitamin B-12 from being absorbed in the body. Would love to hear more about this argument.
Ohh really??
@@trendycollections127 Yes, I have seen that as well....
The tablets are too expensive. I buy both spirulina and chlorella in bulk 5 pound bags. Mix a tablespoon of each together with powdered bentonite clay and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, along with 16 ounces of water, and shake it up in a mason jar. This is my morning detox drink.
I have always been curious about Bentonite clay... how do you find it?
@@shannon5459 Best to get it from Redmond Clay in a multi pound bag.
Where u buy it
hi where u buy the stuff...thank u
Wouldn't the clay pull most of the nutrients out of the mixture before you even ingest it?
Amazing discussion, thank you so...much
We all need to grow our own micro greens at home.
Some forms/formulas are more bio available than others so you could feasibly take a smaller dose of something and have a greater benefit from it. I just looked up that a tablespoon of spirulina weighs 7 grams, four of which are protein. Gram for gram it has a higher concentration of protein than any other plant or meat source.
Can somebody please link the research about B12 in spirulina as it’s a controversial aspect.
Yes please. I'd love to know too.
Dr eric berg has a video on it
Anyone on HRT… be careful. See my general post in the comments. More than 200mg of spirulina is contraindicated for high dose rhythmic hormone replacement 🤦🏼♀️ I’m months into recovery from taking it, forgetting it was on the no no list.
Please cite the research that algae can replace collagen powder, a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and CoQ10?
We cured my husband with a Keto Diet NO CHEMO!!! and fenbendazole and Ivermectin. Plant based is not the best diet.
What kind of cancer?
👏🏼
Plant? Spirulina is not a plant
@@trendycollections127I think it’s safe to think it’s a plant even though technically it’s not because there’s no structure like plants but many scientists still call it a plant.
We tried those, but it didn't help my husband to survive his glyoblastoma, he got only 3 years after the first surgery
I am diagnosed with lupus. Theoretically, spirulina should be avoided, especially if medicated with immunosuppressants, which most patients with autoimmune diseases are administered.
I think I just read that spirulina is anti inflammatory tho, so I wonder how it works if off meds and getting the immune system to homeostasis instead of overacting
Thanks for the exciting info!I’d love to try both of your products if you give me a clear answer on my Qs. I’m 56 with hypo-Hashimoto. Can I still take spirulina and Chlorella? It wouldn’t counteract my thyroid medicine?
I’ve been on levothyroxine since 2000 and I’ve been taking spirilla and chlorella for about 2 years now and it hasn’t affected my thyroid meds at all… but I’m no dr
Thank you so much for this truly incredible information 🙏🏻
Awesome video ! Thanks for the information . I would love to know if a person with an autoinmune disease can take them , fue to iodine , I don’t know if they are high in iodine ? Which is not recommended for autoinmune disease . Thank you
I too asked the very same question on the instagram account only last week as I too have an autoimmune disease. Because they help with inflammation, I have decided to keep taking them and should I experience any problems or my blood results come back a bit suspect, I will stop taking them. I do feel better for taking them and also knowing they are full of goodness and cannot harm you. Good luck 😊
SPIRULINA not good for folks with autoimmune problems 😢 ok
@@robertdavidson9393 Thank you for your comment. I thought that spirulina was good for inflammation?
@@ladyp4001 it is. however the type is important as there are many fakes out there.
Absolutely stunning information thank you both loved it God bless you
I'm on it - lets give these tablets a go!
Yesterday, I attended a ND doctor who told me of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide killing cancers! Has had it do miracles for known persons!
Also, treats toe nail fungus successfully!...so I begin @ 82!
I have been trying to heal since 2006! 🙏🤗😇🥰
