Miracle Superfood: Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA)
and Marine Phytoplankton
Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) and Marine phytoplankton have
been called and "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet. The
health benefits of these microscopic algaes have been reported for more
than two decades, yet it is only recently that science has revealed the
mechanisms by which these acts on the body, and the astonishing health
benefits they provide for people and animals.

Algae are the most well known of a group of organisms called phytoplankton.
Algae can best be described as small or microscopic plants. These
organisms are photosynthetic, meaning that they function as plants, producing
their own food from sunlight. Phytoplankton are the basis of
most aquatic food chains, and are one of the primary producers of the oxygen
we breathe. There are several different types of phytoplankton.
Algae has been harvested and eaten for centuries and yet, until recently,
its immense nutritional value has mostly gone unrecognized. Now, science
has begun to focus their attention on the nutritional potential of algae
because of global hunger, shrinking resources, depleted lands, etc. The
results of this research and testing have been impressive enough for UC
Irvine scientists to call it a "Super Food, capable of contributing to
the achievement and maintenance of wellness". Chlorophyll is a very
important part of the algae. Its molecular structure is almost the same
as that of the hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying throughout
the body. Oxygen is the prime nutrient, and chlorophyll is the central
molecule for increasing the oxygen availability to your system. Chlorophyll
is vital for the body’s rapid assimilation of amino acids. Algae is the
highest know source of chlorophyll.
Marine phytoplanton are microscopic algae
plants that grow abundantly in oceans around the world. These micro
algae are some of the most nutritious food on the planet. Marine phytoplankton,
a simple organism, is complete nutrition in its most basic form - the "building
blocks of health" and is the foundation of the marine food chain. Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae AFA is a fresh water, edible species of blue-green algae.
Steven Schecter, N.D - "There is no family of foods more protective
against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables ...
sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclitides, heavy
metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins."
Algae
are non-flowering water plants that grow in almost every drop of sunlit
water and every gram of soil, on the barks of trees and the surfaces of
rocks. It is estimated that there are as many as 50,000 species; these
include seaweeds and plankton. Collectively, algae is responsible for 90%
of the Earth's oxygen and 80% of its food supply.
Miracle
Superfood: Wild Blue-Green Algae by Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D.
A Clinical Nutritionalist, Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D., famous in England
as a health expert on television. She tells of her passion for wild blue
green algae and the many profound health benefits she and her patients
experienced.
Blue Green Algae has been eaten for health benefits
by millions of people for thousand of years. In Africa, Mexico, China,
Japan and Europe, the healing powers of algae have long been recognized.
These algae contains an unusually large proportion of high-quality protein
(approximately 55 - 65%), with all eight essential amino acids present
in an ideal balance. It also contains powerful antioxidants, a wealth of
trace minerals, vitamins (especially B vitamins), rare and essential fatty
acids, unique forms of sulfolipids and a variety of phytochemicals such
as phycocyanin, phycoerythrin, and chlorophyll.
Dr. Hugo Rodier M.D. - "The micronutrients and electrolytes
in plankton are exactly what human cell membranes
need to carry out their metabolism. Not surprisingly, the composition of
human plasma, or fluid surrounding cell membranes, is similar to that of
sea water. Relying solely on land-based food sources may lead to deficiencies
in these micronutrients and electrolytes. While transient sub-optimal nutrition
may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in these micronutrients will adversely
affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human
cell. As noted above, our metabolism will suffer, leading to practically
all diseases."
Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. - "One of those rare products that
contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy
life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains
the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in
our diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present
(Omega 3 and Omega 6). Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine),
82 (riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812
(cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all
present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost everything one needs
to sustain life. Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs
to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that
function normally. This is particularly true if one stops putting toxic
materials such as artificial sweeteners and
trans
fats (partially hydrogenated fats) into our body."
Plankton is rich in polymeric, and basic
healthy
sugars, such as polysaccharides (J. Plankton Research 2005;27:695.)
Plankton
also have an alkaline pH, which is important,
given the acidity of our diets high in refined sugars, soda pop, and farmed
large animals. Marine Phytoplankton contain many elements available no
where else. You may have heard of fresh water phytoplankton like Spirulina
and Chlorella. These algae also have
many health benefits, however, with the 200+ separate species of marine
phytoplankton, their nutritional profile is second to none!
Dr. Robert Rowe Ph.D
- "My 81 year old mother had been telling me how much energy she had been
having since taking the phytoplankton. However
she had misunderstood the amount she should be taking – she was consuming
mere drops, rather than the proper ounces. Having been a student of homeopathy,
it suddenly dawned on me there must be a major energy component activated,
even though her dosage was so small. The work of Fritz Popp came to mind:
Dr. Popp, a world renowned physicist, found that living things emit small
packets of light called photons. We can see the phosphorescence produced
in the ocean when the water is stirred at night; we are able to see the
sparkling photon light produced. Dr. Popp was able to show that the effects
of a compound could be duplicated just by bombarding water with the electromagnetic
frequency of the compound, which is how homeopathy works. More

The
blue-green algae Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) grows abundantly in
Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon. It has recently come to the attention
of medical researchers, who are now conducting studies on this unique food
to understand and uncover its secrets. Recently the first stage of an extensive
research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal,
Canada produced some remarkable results. The project studies the effect
of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on the immune and endocrine systems, as well
as on general blood physiology. It was discovered that eating AFA had a
profound and unique effect on Natural Killer (NK) cells. The results were
recently published under the title: Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells. It appears in Chapter 3.1 of
the IBC Library Series, Volume 1911, Phytoceuticals: Examining the health
benefit and pharmaceutical properties of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.
AFA has been shown to:
1. Stimulate the mobilization and migration of immune cells, as well
as their activity.
2. Contain a substantial concentration of highly bioavailable omega-3
fatty acids.
3. Contain phycocyanin, the blue pigment in AFA that has been shown
to inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-2), which is responsible for
the synthesis in the body of pain- and inflammation-mediating substances.
Phycocyanin is also a strong natural antioxidant.
4. Contain a large concentration of phenylethylamine (PEA), a compound
endogenous to the brain. PEA is known to build up concentration and mental
energy, to elevate mood, and to alleviate depression and attention deficit
disorder.
5. Stimulate the release of bone marrow stem cells and their migration
into tissues, supporting the body's own mechanism of regeneration and healing.
6. Contain a selective ligand for the adhesion molecules Land P-selectin.
These molecules play a crucial role in inflammation and cardiovascular
health. Many scientific studies carried on AFA reveal its unique healthpromoting
properties, perfectly suited to promote health and and wellness.
Dr. Theresa Dale, Ph.D., N.D. - "I suggest every person who wants
to maintain a healthy physical and mental state use AFA on a daily basis.
AFA is a live food. You will easily digest and assimilate all the nutrients.
AFA is good for children, teenagers and adults of any age." Dr.
Dale is an international pioneer in energetic medicine, hormone rejuvenation
and self-help health education.
Karl J. Abrams, Professor of Chemistry
- "AFA has more bio-available chlorophyll than any other food. In
biochemical research circles, the presence of chlorophyll in such high
quantities is a clear indication of the AFA's extraordinarily high life-force.
This inheerent vitality helps keep the AFA's wide spectrum of nutrients
at their absolute nutritional peak. For me, this partially explains the
mystery of how AFA can have so many positive health benefits." Professor
Abrahams is the author of Algae to the Rescue and also Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - A Nutritional Approach
AFA contains unique molecules that modulate various aspects of human
health such as: Phenylethylamine (PEA) known as the "molecule of
love." Beside enhancing concentration and attention, PEA is a natural mood
elevator and anti-depressant. But the most extraordinary discovery is the
ability of AFA to stimulate stem cell release and migration, making AFA
the first natural compound known to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon
of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body.
The only known source of this specific variety (AFA) of blue-green algae
is Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Known for being one of the world's most
pristine lakes, it is surrounded by ancient volcanic mountains, and plentiful
with rich sediment. Klamath Lake now has more than 37 feet of this sediment,
which is why it is known to be one of the most nutrient and mineral rich
areas on earth. The nutrients in this lake, plus the lake's pure water
from fresh mountain springs, combined with an average of 300 days of sunshine
per year, are the components that allow this most pristine environment
to grow a perfectly nutrient-rich food. references
Dr. Baxter D. Montgomery, M.D. - “We
have had excellent results with Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) in our disease
reversal program, specifically with cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia, and
diabetes. Within a few days of starting to drink AFA, my staff
and I noticed a leap in our stamina during our workouts, an incredible
boost in our mental clarity and ability to stay focused, and a decrease
in our appetite. Our patients have commented that they are losing
cravings for “the bad foods” as they continue to drink AFA. We are
amazed and overjoyed at the tremendous results we see with regular use
of this live super food.” –
Dr.
Baxter D. Montgomery, MD with the Houston Cardiac Association, HCA Wellness
and Disease Reversal
Dr. Gabriel Cousens M.D. - "As a physician working with thousands
of clients, I find that Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) helps to restore
overall biochemical balance by nourishing the body at the cellular level.
The positive response from the use of AFAhas been extraordinary. A wonderful
and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should
be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself
daily."
Dr. Abrams has written a very easy reference book for those of us who
are seeking the absolute best in nutrition for vibrant health! Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) is the most nutrient dense food available on earth. In
this book, Dr. Abrams clearly explains how this natural superfood from
Klamath Lake in Oregon can work for you.
Algae
to the Rescue Everything You Need to Know about Nutrition Algae
Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) Blue
Green Algae is the first protein and most ancient food on earth. At
the bottom of the food chain, it is the most nutrient-rich food (ounce
for ounce) known to be created by nature. This simple organism is complete
nutrition in its most basic form - the "building blocks of health". Wild
AFA blue-green algae is a superb natural source of nutrients for the body.
It boasts outstanding levels of chlorophyll, vitamin B12, beta-carotene,
iron, protein, enzymes, amino acids and many more complementary nutrients
in a completely assimable form. As a result, it can help to increase energy,
correct imbalances, oxygenate cells and realize high levels of physical
and mental health. Recent tests conducted by Gitte Jensen, PhD; Donald
Ginsberg, MS; and Christian Drapeau, MS; have revealed the effects of AFA
Blue-Green Algae (BGA) on health, disease, and the immune system.
Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD, from the Tennant Institute of Integrative
Medicine, explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine
phytoplankton (microscopic plants/organism that live in the ocean)
are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism.
Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding
cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based
food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutrients and electrolytes.
While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet
lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure,
and detoxification functions of the human cell. Good nutrition will enhance
the structure and function of all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles,
hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision,
digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically,
our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy,
minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental
function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress,
and mood swings.
Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide
all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the
existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time
for things to work. One of those rare products that contains almost everything
you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is
marine
phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body
cannot make...The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega
6). Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D and major and trace minerals
are all present in phtyoplankton.Marine phytoplankton can reduce depression,
harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. more

Gabriel
Cousens, M.D - "Presently there is a common belief that there is no
cure or even amelioration for the degenerative process called Alzheimer's
Disease. Having personally experienced and witnessed in my patients
the brain function enhancing qualities of a blue-green algae named aphanizomenon
flos-aqua, I was interested when I read some reports of its effects on
Alzheimers Disease. This algae is particularly high in active neurotransmitters
and appeared to have positive therapeutic results in people whose general
mental functioning seemed sluggish. For my experiment I chose two individuals
who had well documented Alzheimer's Disease. They had obvious deficient
mental functioning. Each month, besides my notes, the mate of each of the
patients was asked to fill out a questionnaire covering thought process,
memory function, ability to focus, judgment, perception, emotions, ability
to care for oneself, and sleep function. Each section had several categories
to be evaluated from 1 to 10 for a total of 28 questions. Each case has
been followed for 12 months." read
more John Taylor, Ph.D., Licenced Psychologist and leading AD/HD
authority highlights the often missing nutritional factors associated with
AD/HD and describes how AFA (Blue Green Algae) provides these critical
components. Additionally, potentially neurotoxic substances that need to
be avoided with special needs children are mentioned. Over thirty-six scientific
references are cited within this
remarkable report
Dr.
Apsley offers a wonderful source of information about the nutritional value
of Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (wild blue-green algae). A huge proportion of the food raised
for consumption is radiated, or grown with chemicals. It contains a fraction
of the vitamins and minerals that are needed for optimum health. Dr. Apsley
offers hope and a solution to those of us who want a whole food supplement
that has not been genetically engineered or altered in any way. Wild blue-green
Algae has a high profile in the three basics: proteins, carbohydrates and
fats. It is easily assimilated and used by the body. Nature's superfood
is one of the richest known sources of B-12, which is especially important
for a vegetarian like me. It is also an excellent source of the Omega 3
and 6 fatty acids. According to Dr. Apsley, the people who consume wild-blue
green algae on a regular basis (at least 1 gram per day) report numerous
health improvements and benefits as their bodies de-toxify and heal on
a cellular level.
Christopher H. Hassell, M.D - "As my patients began to use Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) products, I noted that many organ systems responded well
to this kind of natural nutrition. I´m so grateful to have these
powerful tools for myself and my family"
Dr. Gillian McKeith Ph.D - "Almost 98 percent of the patients
I see in my clinical practice are deficient in one or more minerals or
vitamins. Yet our health is dependent on complete availability and absorption
of nutrients in a form that our bodies can utilize. Even a deficiency in
just one nutrient can cause a chain reaction, triggering deficiencies in
many other nutrients. There are many biochemical and reasons for poor nutrient
absorption which may include a sluggish body, excess of unhealthy
mucus along the walls of the small intestines, nutrient-deficient
foods, malfunctioning digestive system. It is possible that a person
may consistently take vitamin or mineral supplement pills, with little
or no recognized benefit if the body.s biochemical absorption system fails
to function properly. Unlike supplement pills and unlike most other
foods, the AFA algae has a greater than 90 percent assimilation rate. This
means that the algae, recognized by the body as a food, absorbs with unsurpassed
efficiency and rapidity when com- pared to most other natural or perhaps
unnatural substances.
Thus,
even if a person's internal absorption system is malfunctioning, the algae
is so biologically assimilable that tangible benefits can still be obtained
nonetheless. For these reasons, the wild blue-green algae could play a
major role in wiping out malnutrition. For example, an acclaimed study
on severely mal- nourished children, under the auspices of the Central
American University (1994), found that 79 percent of these subjects no
longer exhibited symptoms of malnutrition after just six months on the
algae.. In addition, NASA has been studying the algae as a possible food
source for space missions.. It is understandable that this algae delivers
such a broad spectrum of benefits ranging from weight loss to memory booster
to immune system enhancer and much more; it.s all in the rate of assimilation
and absorption. Finally, it.s interesting to note that the Russians have
used algae to treat patients exposed to radiation in the Chernobyl nuclear
disaster. Following are summaries of this algae.s potential benefits, based
on my own clinical research and clinical case studies and other research
reports as well."

Tests conducted by Gitte Jensen, Ph.D; Donald Ginsberg, MS; and Christian
Drapeau, MS; have revealed the effects of AFA Blue-Green Algae (BGA) on
health, disease, and the immune system. It has been suggested that due
to the many various properties of BGA, including the synergistic effects
of the concentrated phytochemicals (Carotenoids, Chlorophyll, Polyunsaturated
Fatty Acids, and Phycocyanin), algae can be used in many ways to encourage
health and healing. The following information highlights the benefits reported
in this study and the positive effects of AFA Blue-Green Algae.
Mr. Drapeau, a foremost scientist in the study of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae,
holds a Masters of Science degree in Neurology and Neurosurgery from the
Montreal Neurological Institute, an affiliate of McGill University, Montreal,
Canada, and has been extensively involved in the study of nutrition, naturopathy
and various natural therapies.
Most significantly, Mr. Drapeau collaborated with many scientists affiliated
with Harvard University, McGill University, the University of Illinois,
Oregon State University, the University of New Mexico and the University
of Mississippi in the study of the effects of blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae) on human health. Mr. Drapeau continues his involvement in the
clinical study of AFA:
Phycocyanin, the blue pigment in AFA, which is a natural selective COX-2
inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory properties.
A polysaccharide that stimulates the migration of immune cells in the body;
the only natural compound known to stimulate immune cell migration.
But the most extraordinary discovery is the ability of AFA to stimulate
stem cell release and migration, making AFA the first natural compound
known to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration
and repair in the human body."
Dr. Fred Bisci - “As a clinical nutritionist with over 40 years
experience, I’m impressed and delighted at how AFA helps such a wide range
of health problems. I can only conclude that AFA has the therapeutic versatility
of a true adaptogen, nourishing the body and mind on multiple metabolic
pathways at the deepest of physiological levels. AFA’s energetic boost
is therefore wholesome and lasting, unlike the temporary ups and downs
of unhealthy stimulants such as sugar and caffeine.”
Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D. - "Sea plants can transform your
health. A seaweed bath is a great way to get the benefits of sea plants
all over your body. Seaweed baths are Nature's perfect body-psyche balancer,
and they're a good way get natural iodine. There are many reasons why I
recommend sea vegetables as part of my healing programs -- weight loss,
cellulite control, detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more. Sea
vegetables can transform your health! I believe that when we eat sea vegetables,
and when we take seaweed baths, we are tapping into the ancestral and restorative
source of all life- the ocean. Include sea vegetables into your diet every
day and you 'll see a difference. I do! Sea plants -- gifts from the sea!"

Consumption of a moderate amount (1.5 grams) of the blue-green algae
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae results in rapid changes in immune cell trafficking.
Two hours after AFA consumption, a generalized mobilization of lymphocytes
and monocytes, but not polymorph nucleated cells, was observed. This included
increases in CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T cell subsets and CDl9+ B cells. In
addition, the relative proportions and absolute numbers of natural killer
(NK) cells were reduced after AFA consumption. No changes were observed
in the relative proportions of naive versus memory T cells, neither in
the CD4 nor the CD8 fractions. A mild but significant reduction in phagocytic
activity was observed for polymorph nucleated cells. When freshly purified
lymphocytes were exposed to AFA extract in vitro, direct activation was
not induced, as evaluated by tyrosine phosphorylation and proliferative
activity. more
The first scientific report published on AFA was by Gabriel Cousens,
MD (1985), in the Journal of Orthomedicine on the treatment of Alzheimer's
disease. Several case studies were presented where AFA appeared
to noticably reverse the progression of this degenerative condition. Subsequently,
Dr. Cousens has continued to advocate the use of AFA especially for conditions
related to mental and emotional functioning. Since that study, thousands
of seniors have reported success using AFA on a daily basis. Algae

The "Children and Algae Report" is a summary of the information of the
Center for Family Wellness gathered during their research study of 140
children. This study was designed to investigate the effects of feeding
Super Blue Green Algae to children who struggle with learning, social and
behavioral problems.
The
research team questioned whether the addition of Algae to children's diets
would help alleviate these challenges. The statistical analysis of the
data gathered during the study demonstrates that eating Algae clearly has
a notably positive outcome in those areas of concern for a vast majority
of the study sample.
The report also mentions another study involving 1,482 students in Nicaragua,
a country where malnutrition impacts about two thirds of the population.
The positive results of adding Super Blue Green Algae to the children's
diets were noted and qualified, as were the improvements in the children's
class participation, academic scores, and overall health.
In this Children and Algae study, parents reported significant behavioral
changes in their children, including:
* significant improvement in the ability to focus,
follow directions and concentrate
* a reduction in argumentative, demanding and combative
behavior
* fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression
* improvement in social skills
* fewer signs of emotional and behavioral withdrawal
* less acting out behavior and fewer conduct problems
* a reduction in behaviors characterized as "strange"
* fewer physical symptoms, such as headaches and
stomach aches, for which there is no apparent medical cause
* Increased energy, vitality, and stamina.
* Greater ability to handle stress.
* A strengthening of the immune system, resulting
in fewer ailments and a speedier recovery from sickness.
* Relief from the discomforting symptoms of hypoglycemia,
fatigue, mood swings, allergies, etc.
* Improved digestion and relief from constipation.
* Enhanced mental alertness and clarity.
* Improved memory.
* Alleviation of anxiety and depression.
* A stronger sense of direction and positive outlook
on life.
As the study progressed, many children exhibited language and reading
skill improvements. Parents and teachers, alike, began reporting that the
children had better social and interactive skills, and more self-reliance.

Healing
Crisis:
As with all true natural cure, the road to
better health may begin with a healing crisis. As you move toward better
health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins
to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard
toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. The
healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the
initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify)
and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you
may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue.
This is called a healing crisis. You may feel worse before you feel better.
As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing. For
example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes may reappear or get
worse for a period of time as your body eliminates toxins through the skin.
You may also experience an initial increase in urination, or you may feel
more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting worse, you are actually
getting better. Eventually you will reach a plateau of better health. During
the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms
with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted. Lean

Some
of the ways Captive Wildlife at Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center
have benefited from Organic Blue Green Algae (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae)
Metabolic Bone Disease (a common - and sometimes deadly - problem
for captive wildlife raised on milk replacement products) - Aphanizomenon
Flos-Aquae Blue Green Algae (BGA) helps supplement the diet and put back
missing elements that help build strong bones.
Skin and Coat Conditions - Animals kept in toxic situations (roadside
stands, with constant diesel gas fumes) and climates unsuited to their
natural habitat suffer a variety of maladies - loss of hair, frostbite,
poor coats - BGA improves such conditions.
Malnourishment - nearly all captive wildlife are subject to malnourishment
if they are kept outside licensed zoo and accredited sanctuary systems.
Even "enough" food is not usually the "right" food. BGA stimulates appetites
and food absorption, improving the overall metabolism of the Animals.
Joint Health - Many captive wildlife are confined in concrete
cages, with no chance to exercise in a naturalized habitat. Discomfort
is common in the joints, especially elbows, of Great Cats who have only
concrete to lay on. BGA goes a long way toward relieving the pain and tenderness,
while improving joint health, too.
Of the Sanctuary's 74 Animals (Lions, Tigers, Bears, Jaguars, Leopards,
Mountain Lions, Servals, Bobcats, Coati Mundi), seven serious cases have
been improved or eliminated through the use of Super Blue Green Algae,
and all the other Animals have derived benefit in the various ways already
listed.
Elephant Sanctuary
Parade magazine's issue of Sunday, February 24, 2002, featured a full-page
article, including photographs, about the Elephant Sanctuary, the country's
only protected natural habitat for Asian elephants. "Elephants arrive at
the Elephant Sanctuary both physically and emotionally damaged. By using
products like Blue Green Algae and Spectrabiotic we help elephants to recover
from past traumas or simply maintain good health after a lifetime of mismanagement.
Jenny [one of Carol's 'girls', age 34] spent her entire captive life performing
in circuses, and was rescued from an animal shelter. She now receives daily
supplements of Super Blue Green Algae that, interestingly enough, help
to strengthen her injured knee. Another elephant, Sissy [age 40], had been
mistreated by her handlers. When the assaults were videotaped, public outrage
paved the way for Sissy's transfer to the sanctuary. She now receives Spectrabiotic
daily to help counter her tendency toward colic and loose stools. In both
cases we have seen a marked improvement in the health of these elephants."

For thousands of years, animals in the wild thrived on a diet of natural,
raw foods, which provided all of the nutrients, vitamins, minerals,
and chlorophyll their bodies were designed to use. But today, whether animals
live in our homes, on our farms, or otherwise under our care, their diets
are often very different than in the wild. Most of us feed the animals
we love commercially produced diets. We take comfort in buying the best
commercial diets we can afford and believe that our animals are receiving
all of the nutrition they need.
Unfortunately, this belief just isn’t true. Commercial animal diets
do not meet several critical nutritional needs for your animal(s) to achieve
optimal levels of health. In fact, many veterinarians are concerned about
the nutritional quality animals receive from commercial foods alone. In
the spring of 1998, the Animal Protection Institute and the Association
of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, developed a survey to gauge veterinarians’
views about commercial diets and their impact on animal health. They found
that 90% of their respondents were concerned about the quality of nutrition
available from commercial animal foods. more
Animal diets require not only high-quality protein, fats, carbohydrates
and vitamins with their co-factor minerals and trace minerals, but also
enzymes and “friendly bacteria” (probiotics)
to function optimally, have a strong immune system and healthy blood, organs
and tissues. Unfortunately, many of the nutrients they require are heat
sensitive and critical nutritional properties are destroyed with high heat
processing applications or improper storage. It is still common practice
to not only use these damaging procedures, but also to use inferior ingredients
in most animal foods in order to reduce costs.
Enzymes
are necessary for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. When enzymes
are not available to the animal from food because of cooking, processing,
and storage that are part of even the best commercial diets, the body must
compensate and risk depleting its own enzyme supply. In addition, commercial
diets are fortified with synthetic vitamins and vitamin isolates instead
of whole, natural vitamins. While the addition of these chemicals allows
commercial foods to be legally considered “complete“ they do not provide
the same benefits to the body that whole, natural vitamins and minerals
provide. If these nutritional needs are unmet over an extended period of
time, your animal will develop an impaired immune system. This may show
itself in your animals by any number of symptoms, including increased allergic
reactions, dry skin, dull hair/coat, and increased susceptibility to parasites.
Millions of people give great care and attention to their personal health
and nutritional well being, while ignoring some important members of their
family: the pets! Believing that animal health is fully taken care of by
regular visits to the vet and high quality pet food, pet owners nationwide
may be missing a crucial part of the health equation. Many leading animal
health experts point to lifetime nutrient malabsorption as the leading
cause and hastener of many chronic ailments in the animal community.
"From domestic to wild, animals of all types have at least one thing
in common with humans: Optimal nutrition provides optimal health," says
Nancy
A. Bozeman, D.V.M., M.S., B.S, of The Animal Doctor Clinic, Arlington,
TX. According to Dr. Bozeman, obtaining a high level of nutrition is more
elusive than one might think. "While 'gourmet' or 'fortified' pet food
may be a hopeful solution," she says, "A big bag of synthetic supplements
may not be the way to optimize an animal's health. Regardless of the treatments
an animal may need, if you don't have superior nutrition you can't have
superior results."
Your pets deserve complete nutrition, too. Many
pet owners, show dog owners and other animal lovers are feeding AFA
to their animals with amazing results.
Maintaining your pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles)
on a daily amount of AFA may provide the following benefits:
Lustrous coats, silkier hair, more vibrant colors,
better skin and less brittle nails.
Better general health, lessening of symptoms reported
in arthritic animals.
Old animals act and feel younger.
reduced stress, better temperaments, increased immune
systems, increased energy levels.

"It was March 3, 2000, three
days after my trip from India when my son yelled to me in the kitchen,
“Mom, Echo’s legs just collapsed, she can’t get up!” Echo is a purebred
Australian shepherd who has reached the age 13 on a vegetarian diet, mostly
dry dog food. Her arthritic condition made some show a year prior to her
lame condition. I was using the AFA already and noticed all-around better
health! But my family had full responsibility for Echo’s care in the month
I was gone and went back to the old dog food regime, which I don’t blame
them, keeping up with the raw food prep takes some conscious effort and
time. I talked to a friend who recommended Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA). Within 3 months, she was up and running again. The
AFA was her primary food mixed with her regular old vegetarian dog food.
She was taking it easily as I was too. The AFA was giving her energy and
movement improved in her back legs. We all need love and attention to make
any healing progress and I’m convinced that the AFA from AFA is from a
loving source sold by caring people who also experience it’s healthful
loving qualities that nurture from within." Kathleen Abelson - Ashland,

Bird´s testimony
- Shimoda "My ten-year old Caique, Shimoda, was a very
beautiful, colorful bird: bright green, orange, yellow, white and black.
When he was about three and one-half years old, just beginning his sexual
maturity, I came home one day to find my beautiful bird had pulled out
all his colorful feathers. He was now down to his all gray down feathers,
and looked like he was wearing gray flannel underwear. I panicked. Then
I found out that, allopathically speaking, this is common behavior for
birds when they reach sexual maturity. Solutions could include making environmental
changes, so I changed his cage, moved it, changed his toys, etc. However,
on and off for the last six and one-half years he has plucked at his feathers.
No matter what I did this didn't change much. I decided to feed Shimoda
Blue
Green Algae. I started feeding him a mixture of about 1/16 of a teaspoon
of the algae and one teaspoon of water. He liked the taste, so he would
take dropper after dropper full. His feathers started to grow back and
he has been taking it ever since. He now looks beautiful. He seems happy;
he is not pulling his feathers and they’ve grown in beautifully. And he
enjoys getting his algae." Carin Segal
Cat´s and dog´s
testimony - Walter, Cinnamon, Sparkle and Creampuff "We've
had terrible problems with all our animals (three cats and a dog) peeing
and pooping where they aren't supposed to, on our hardwood floors under
the table, on chair legs, on beds and in closets, etc. I started giving
all four of them the AFA products, especially supplementing with enzymes,
probiotics, Super Sprout & Alage and CoQ10 (in addition to Animal Matrix),
based on what I had read and heard from our great holistic vets and on
the chat list. It has helped tremendously. I started all this AFTER we
took them to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong with them, and
couldn't even suggest anything to try! According to the vet, our 10-year-old
schnauzer, Walter, was simply experiencing "doggy Alzheimer's" for instance,
and had "forgotten" that he was housebroken! The CoQ10 seems to have helped
him the most, so maybe he was right. Anyway, it's such a relief and so
fantastic to have something that works! To me it is just an "experiment
in miniature" on what these products can do for us people too! Certainly
made a believer out of my husband, who I have to admit was very skeptical
at first, but now he takes the products religiously, and his digestive
system is on track as a result." Sharon Wenger Los Angeles, CA
Horse Performance and Recovery with
Nutritional Support
Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) has brought better equine health and the supplement's
results are amazing. Horses eating AFA not only look better but have improved
temperament, increased energy, stamina, and their hooves become stronger
and more flexible.
Horses with hoof problems, active and inactive horses may all benefit
from eating AFA. Maintaining your horse on a daily amount of AFA may provide
the following benefits:
Better general health, strengthened immune system, quicker recovery from
stress and high performance demands.
Stronger, more elastic hooves, clears up laminitis, white line, abcess,
and dry-cracked hoof walls. Makes good hooves even better!
Better coat, much clearer eyes.
Improved disposition and attitude towards breeding and training.
Case Studies: Brownie's
story Brownie is a Thoroughbred Quarter cart horse owned by Jim
and Judy Lougheed of Placerville California. Brownie was considered unusable
in the early nineties. Many veterinarians and farriers had given up on

abscesses. Learn

KKashmeer's
story The sellers had failed to mention any fetlock or leg problems
when we purchased Kkashmeer, but when he was delivered to the barn where
we were to board him, a 5 hour ride in a professional air-ride trailer,
he was dead-lame. After a month of treatments by the local veterinarian,
icing, nerve blocks, bute and light walking with stall confinement, egg
bar shoes and special trimming by the farrier, he was not better.
We were advised to take him to U. C. Davis for an ultrasound, where he
was diagnosed with what the veterinarians said was an old injury - bone
fragments in his right front fetlock joint. Surgery was not an option,
according to the vets, and he would never be sound. They called him
a very expensive “pasture ornament”, or in the alternative, they would
put him down for us. He would never be sound enough to ride.
Needless to say, we were heart-broken but decided to keep him as a family
pet. Learn

Mara's
story Auburn University, College of Veterinary Medicine - Mara
foundered in the winter of 2007 and came to us in spring 2008. She was
in poor body condition, her hair coat was dull, and she showed evidence
of bilateral front limb laminitis (lameness grade 3/5). She
would only walk slowly, and was very tender-footed. Her hooves
showed horizontal rings diverging from each other, evidencing chronic laminitis.
Nolan hoof plates were applied to both front feet since the onset of laminitis.
The hoof quality was considered poor. Foot radiographs showed severe rotation
of the coffin bone of the left front foot and moderate rotation of the
right fore in April 2008. The sole thickness was 7 mm on the left foot,
and 10 mm on the right foot, respectively. Learn
about Mara's full recovery...
“After feeding Chino, my
world champion Paso Fino Stallion, AFA from Klamath Lake his temperament
changed. The biggest difference was in breeding. Instead of taking 45 minutes
with a mare, Chino now takes 5 minutes and has a much better attitude toward
the whole breeding. His hooves also have improved. I have been eating the
algae. I am feeling good. I have much more energy, and I notice that my
hair and nails are growing faster.” - J.R. Morales,
Owner/Trainer Ocala, FL
“I have been feeding the
algae to my Champion Paso Fino horses, and to the mares that are breeding.
The algae has helped very much. The foals are easier to wean, horses that
were eating their tails stopped immediately, the mares that were nursing
are in better condition and the horses coats look much better. Also a horse
with laminitis cleared right up. I am amazed, and was very skeptical when
you first told me about this food.” - Angel Usategui,
Owner/Breeder Miami, FL
Pregnancy and Foal Health
“The AWS National Breeding
Director, Nikki Atwell, purchased a TB mare that was underweight and in
the last trimester of her pregnancy in 1997. This mare ate twice as much
as all the other horses and would not gain weight. The foal was born and
they both were underweight. The Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) was started
as soon as it arrived to help the foal and the mare gain weight soon after
the foaling. After a couple of months the mare gained weight while nursing
a now, large foal, and again in foal herself. Our Vet couldn’t believe
the difference in the mare’s condition. The mare’s hoof condition has improved,
hoof wall improved dramatically, but the most noticeable change is her
coat’s iridescence. The AFA has helped to create a healthy, vigorous horse
from the inside out.” - Jean Brooks
Overall Horse Health
“My horses display a sense
of well-being. AFA makes the horses better focused and prepared for training.
They perform at their peak. Their coats and hooves have shown a marked
improvement as well. They have increased stamina.” - Carl
A. Nafzger, noted Trainer/Owner, Author of “Traits of a Winner”, trainer
for Kentucky Derby winner ‘Unbridled’ , Trainer of Eclipse Award Winner
Banshee Breeze, and Vicar – Winner of GR 1 Fountain of Youth and Kentucky
Derby
“If someone were to ask me
the most significant benefit to my top thoroughbred race horses that are
eating the AFA is, I would say that the AFA enables them to perform at
their very peak. The nutrition is everything.” Ian
Wilkes, assistant trainer for Carl Nafzger, Kentucky
Other conditions improved
with AFA: Laminitis, White Line, Abscess, Fungal, Cracked or Shelly
Hooves, and in most cases significant recovery in Foundered Horses.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.
