Marine Plants and Fresh Water Algae to Enhance Health, Boost Immunity, Detoxify
A number of research have shown the effectiveness of seaweeds on human and animal health. Seaweeds have curative powers for tuberculosis, arthritis, colds and influenza, worm infestations. Some sea plants produces an effective vermifugal agent (kainic acid). Carrageenans have been patented as anti-viral agents. The electrolytic magnetic action of the sea plants releases excess body fluids from congested cells and dissolves fatty wastes through the skin, replacing them with depleted minerals, particularly potassium and iodine. As the natural iodine boosts thyroid activity, food fuels are used before they can turn into fatty deposits. Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin in seaweeds, aids adrenal regulation, so a seaweed bath also helps maintain hormone balance for a more youthful body. Sea Vegetables (Spirulina - kelp - Chlorella) have been acknowledged as a detoxifyer, a balanced nourishment and a miraculous healing plant. Ocean/Sea algae are the richest natural source of minerals, trace minerals and rare earth elements.

Marine Phytoplankton

Seawater contains every mineral and trace mineral known in organic form and in the proper ratios needed by human tissues. Dr. René Quinton, French biologist/physiologist, proved that pure seawater is virtually identical to mammalian blood plasma. With the assistance of many eminent physicians, he successfully used seawater as a healing agent on thousands of patients in France and Egypt in the early 1900s. Navy doctors successfully used seawater during the Second World War when blood serum supplies ran out.  Marine Phytoplankton offers full Spectrum 72 natural ionic sea trace minerals, the the benefits of getting 200+ ocean vegetables in your diet every day - Amino Acids, Vitamins, Essential Fatty Acids, Enzymes, and much more

Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton

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

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. 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." 

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.

Protection against tumors, radiation and environmental pollutants

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."  An experiment conducted by J.F. Stara at the Environmental Protection Agency showed that sodium alginate significantly reduced the amount of radio active strontium in the bones of cats. Stara observed that radio active strontium in the bones is resecreted into the intestines where it is bound by alginate, neutralized then excreted in the stools."  learn more

Algae: An Introduction to Phycology 

Algae are ubiquitous; a multitude of species ranging from microscopic unicells to gigantic kelps inhabit the world's oceans, freshwater bodies, soils, rocks, and trees, and are responsible for most of the global production of organic matter by photosynthesis. They thus play a fundamental role in the world's ecosystems and a reliable and modern introduction to their kaleidoscopic diversity, systematics, and phylogeny is indispensable. In this textbook, the main groups of algae (divisions or phyla) are considered in turn. Each chapter begins with a summary of the principal characteristics of the group and interesting aspects of ecology and evolution. The final chapter is a synthesis, in which the phylogeny of the algae is discussed in relation to the evolution of other living organisms, primarily on the basis of evidence from recent molecular studies. This book is the completely revised and updated edition of a highly acclaimed German work, which was heralded for its clarity as well as its breadth and depth of information. This new edition takes into account recent reevaluations in algal systematics and phylogeny provided by the powerful techniques of molecular genetics and electron microscopy, as well as more traditional life history studies. The book will be appropriate as an undergraduate text and as a reference for professionals in the field.

The high density of nutrients found in algae is extremely important for many reasons. Perhaps the most important (as noted above) is that these nutrients maintain human cell membranes in structure and function. This is vital for cell detoxification, and for the overall metabolism of human cells. In fact, the causes of diseases have been simplified to very specific mechanisms, all of which center on cell membrane function and structure. Inflammation, Oxidation, Toxicity, and Mitochondrial dysfunction keep cell membranes from doing their job effectively. Algae contain high levels of antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory micronutrients to fuel metabolism and detoxification.


Health Benefits of Seaweed

Seaweeds are really not a weed but large marine algae that grow in the coastal waters of many countries. They include thousands of species from microscopic plants called phytoplankton to huge floating/anchored plants commonly seen washed up on shore. Many kinds of seaweed are eaten by people because they are full of vitamins and iodine. Asian cultures use seaweed like green beans and carrots are used in the United States. One of seaweed's most prominent health benefits is its ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from our bodies. Brown seaweeds such as kelp contain alginic acid which binds with the toxins in the intestines rendering them indigestible and carries them out of the system.

Sea vegetables are virtually fat-free, low calorie and one of the richest sources of minerals in the vegetable kingdom as they have ready access to the abundance of minerals found in the ocean. Nourishment is acquired across the sea vegeable's entire surface through the gentle wave action of underwater currents. Sea water and human blood contain many of the same minerals in very similar concentrations.

Sea vegetables contain high amounts of calcium and phosphorous and are extremely high in magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. For example, 1/4 cup of cooked hijiki contains over half the calcium found in a cup of milk and more iron than in an egg, important concerns for vegans, those who refrain from eating any animal-based products. They also contain vitamins A, B1, C and E, as well as protein and carbohydrates.
 

I use raw nori sheet seaweed instead of bread. I love the taste of Nori. It is made in Asia from nourishing seaweed, rich in trace minerals, vitamins and other important nutrients. It is non-fattening, rich in fiber. I use it to make "taco" or "burito" stuffed with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, smoked salmon or raw cheese. Shirley


The beauty of using the seaweed is that it can only do good, and never harm. It does not deplete the energy of the body as some reducing programs do; indeed, it strengthens the vital energy by working in cooperating with the endocrine glands. It has been found that there is a definite connection between the amount of energy available and our iodine intake. In Kelp, as we mentioned before, we have a perfectly natural source of all the iodine we require. 

Health Benefits of SeaweedObesity is rare among the Polynesians and other races who incorporate seaweeds as a regular part of their daily diet. This plant influences the mucous membranes and lymphatics. It is a slow, persistent agent, but it will accomplish the desired weight loss results. It is stimulating to the absorbents and especially influences the fatty globules. Its best action is observed in individuals having a cold, torpid, clammy skin and loose flabby rolls of fat. It is an agent that gives better results in sick, overweight people than in cases of healthy, fat people (Luc:50). Instead of being simply a weight loss agent, it is more a normalizer, as thin people can put on weight while taking Kelp. More about kelp and its health benefits

Algae Nutritional Properties
 



Spirulina, Chlorella, and wild blue-green ( Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) contain more chlorophyll than any other foods.  Dried micro algae, are the richest source of proteins, beta-carotene, and nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), and very rich source of GLA. Micro algae have been successfully used to improve immunity of people with Cancer, AIDS, Colitus, Diabetes ...

Spirulina, a blue-green alga sold as a supplement, is an excellent source of chlorophyll and disease-fighting compounds called phytochemicals. Phytochemicals (phyto is Greek for "plant") are compounds in plants and fruits that imbue them with color and protect them against cellular damage caused by free radicals. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health are studying phytochemicals to understand their role in disease prevention. Marine phytoplankton can reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. Specifically, Spirulina (cyanophyta,) has 62% amino acids, or 20 times more protein than Soy and 200 times more than beef. It is also the richest source of vitamin B12, and it contains high levels of minerals, like Zinc. Spirulina has 10 times more carotenoids than carrots, and it is rich in xanthophyl pigments, like chlorophyll. It is also rich in oils, containing more omega 3s than fish oil, such as GLA. More info on spirulina: Indications for Usage

Spirulina : The Microscopic Nutrient Powerhouse nd How It Protects and Restores Health Mouth cancer is one disorder that may be treated or prevented by phytochemicals, especially beta-carotene, which is found in abundance in spirulina. This may explain why the alga slowed and even stopped the growth of cancerous cells in scientific studies. Padmanabhan P. Nair, Ph.D., ascientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, recently demonstrated that spirulina is a particularly potent inhibitor of mouth cancer. Nair and his colleagues gave daily spirulina supplements to volunteers in southwestern India for 12 months. The volunteers were alike in many ways: All chewed tobacco and had precancerous lesions in their mouths called leukoplakia. After taking the alga for one year, 45 percent of the volunteers had recovered, and the thick, white, precancerous patches in their mouths completely disappeared. Another 12 percent of the volunteers showed significant improvement, raising the figure to 57 percent who benefited from spirulina supplements(Nutrition and Cancer, 1995, vol. 24).

High doses of chlorella have been found to be very effective in Germany for mercury elimination

Chlorella was first identified by a Dutch scientist in 1890. But it was not until the 1950's that Japanese studies threw light on its enormous potential. Researchers discovered that some of chlorella's beneficial health effects appeared to stem from a high concentration of chlorophyll and beta carotene, as well as from its unusual cell wall. Cell wall of this alga binds with heavy metals, pesticides, PCB, ... and carries these toxins safely out of the body.

Chlorella is an important part of the systemic mercury elimination program, as approximately 90% of the mercury is eliminated through the stool. Using large doses of chlorella facilitates fecal mercury excretion. After the intestinal mercury burden is lowered, mercury will more readily migrate into the intestine from other body tissues from where chlorella will effectively remove it. 

Chlorella has been demonstrated to remove heavy metals and other synthetics from the body by actually binding with them so they may be pulled from the bloodstream. However, this result can only be measured if the level of heavy metals in the bloodstream are known before and after a person starts taking chlorella. It takes approximately 3-6 months once starting chloreela for heavy metals to begin to be removed from the blood depending on the amount of chlorella taken. If it has been determined that a person does have heavy metals in their body, they should begin by taking 15-20 grams per day depending on the level of heavy metals that are present. 

It contains Chlorella Growth Factor ( CGF ).  CGF strengthens immunity by improving the activity of T- and B- cells, which defense against viruses.  CGF strengthens immunity by improving the activity of macrophages , which  destroys cancer. The Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) was isolated in the 1950s and indicates the level of chlorella's nucleic acids, says Paul Pitchford. Nucleic acids -- RNA and DNA -- in the body direct our cellular growth and repair, yet they decline as we age, and they're depleted by stress, pollution and poor diet. 

Sometimes called the green blood tonic and cleanser, it's reported to be beneficial in cases of anemia, and studies have shown its ability to stimulate regeneration of tissue, accelerate the healing of wounds and inhibit the growth of some tumors. Some scientists think chlorella may help to prevent degenerative disease and even slow down the aging process, while American researcher Dr. David Steenblock believes it has great potential in the treatment of cancer, AIDS, Epsteir Barr disease and other equally chronic viral illnesses. 

 Chlorella is not tolerated by about one-third of people due to gastrointestinal distress. Chitosan can be effectively used as an alternative in these individuals. Chitosan makes up most of the hull of insects shellfish and also bind metals like mercury from the lumen of the intestines.

Detoxification - How Chlorella Works
It no longer takes 40+ years to accumulate enough acid waste in your tissues, to cause degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. These degenerative diseases are striking Americans at increasingly younger ages because of our polluted environment and our ferocious appetite for acid forming foods. 

There have been numerous studies on Chlorella's detoxifying effect on cadmium, heavy metals, PCBs, and chlordecone (a harmful insecticide). In addition there have been recent findings of chlorella's potential radioprotective effect against Gamma-rays.

In 1984, Drug and Chemical Toxicology published a study by Dr. Pore of the West Virginia University, School of Medicine, in which chlorella administered to rats increased the rate of detoxification of chlordecone (a harmful insecticide). It was shown that chlorella caused the toxin to be removed from the body more than twice as fast as the control group. Dr. Pore found two active absorbing mechanisms in chlorella; sporopollenin (a carotene-like polymer) and the cell wall itself.

In 1975, Japanese researchers, Hagino et al., found that chlorella increased excretion of cadmium in individuals suffering from cadmium poisoning. Dr.Steenblock sites other examples of Chlorella's ability to detoxify in his book Chlorella Natural Medicinal Algae: In one study "brewer's yeast culture was poisoned and killed by the addition of P.C.B., mercury, copper and cadmium. When Chlorella extract was added to these toxic substances, the brewer's yeast remained alive!" "Other studies have shown that chlorella cell walls absorb and hang onto uranium and lead." "Chlorella has been used to detoxify people suffering from P.C.B. exposure. Doctor Ueda of the Kitakyushu City Institute for Environmental Pollution Research in Japan gave 30 patients who suffered from P.C.B. exposure, daily doses of 4-6 grams of Chlorella for a one year period. As a result almost all improved (less tired, better digestion, normal bowel movements)"

Chlorella to Remove Mercury and Pesticides

Dr. Mercola - "Chlorella is an incredibly powerful nutrient from the sea and is a form of algae. I use it quite a bit for mercury detoxification as it binds very strongly to mercury to eliminate it from the body. Chlorella also is a useful source of chlorophyll, and it adds magnesium and protein to the juice. Binds to other heavy metals and pesticides in the juice. The normal dose is one teaspoon in the juice. However, about 30% of people cannot tolerate the chlorella, so if it makes you nauseous you should definitely avoid it. Spirulina is another algae that has many similar benefits and is a good balance to chlorella. However it does not bind to heavy metals like chlorella."  Algae Nutritional Properties

How much Kelp to give your animal?
My dog is about 80 lbs. I add about 1tablespoon of dried kelp meal in her food daily.  (Kelp Recommended Feeding Rates: when you get there, scroll to the bottom of that page) Always start with a small amount at the beginning and gradually increase the amount so as to prevent diarrhea. Some dogs don't like the taste of kelp because it's salty. I try to incorporate as much kelp as I can to Shasta's food. Note: I make double use of the kelp. First, I fill a sock with 1/2 cup of kelp and soak the sock in my bath water. I love soaking in kelp water as it does wonders for my skin. After my bath I remove the wet kelp from the sock and I use this in Shasta's food. (Kelp played an important role in healing my lifelong eczema)

Where to purchase seaweeds in large quantities for bath use and for animal feed. This is a partial list: (Food grade for human use)

  • Thorvin, Inc. They harvest their seaweed from Iceland and claim to dry them at low heat geothermally which they claim retains all the nutrients and enzymes' goodness (their website has feeding rates information for a variety of animals)
  • North American Kelp From Main. They use a tumbler dryer with heat reaching 150 degree. Enzymes are very sensitive and are easily destroyed by low moist heat (105-118 degrees F). Dry heat around 150 degrees F.
  • Most gardening supply stores sell kelp in 5 lb bag. Make sure it's pure kelp, and make sure that it hasn't been dried at high heat.
  • I used to purchase kelp meal in 5 or 10 or 55 lb bags at mail order gardening supplies where it is inexpensive. (Peaceful Valley Farm Supply in California at 530-272-4769 This is ALGIT kelp from Norway. I'm not sure  what temperature is used to dry that kelp.

What is Kelp?

Commonly known as Rockweed, Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed is widely recognised to be the richest marine plant for animal feed and for agricultural use. This unique seaweed grows exclusively on the North Atlantic coast of North America and Europe. It is found in particular abundance on the North Atlantic coast of Canada, where its cold and clean growing environment is continuously replenished by the world's highest tides.

Although this may be news to us, ancient maritime cultures such as the Japanese, the Chinese, the South-Sea Islanders and the Greenland Eskimos have known of the ocean's secrets for hundreds of years. Kelp, or common seaweed, has long been a favourite vegetable source amongst these nations.

This seaweed works like a sponge, absorbing from the water almost all the nutrients, minerals and trace elements that are essential to life. Kelp was first used medicinally to treat enlarged thyroid glands. Physicians didn't know why kelp was effective, until it was discovered that it was exceptionally rich in iodine and that enlarged thyroids were due to an iodine deficiency. Because iodine worked by stimulating the thyroid gland that controls the metabolism, it was noted that those who took iodine lost weight more easily. From these observations, kelp was then used to assist in weight loss. It has been suggested that kelp's positive effects in assisting metabolism may help in lowering cholesterol. This versatile seaweed is also widely used to maintain healthy skin and hair. Kelp's most dramatic application is its ability to neutralise heavy metal pollution and radiation in the body. Studies have shown that the active ingredient in kelp, sodium alginate, can prevent the absorption of newly ingested heavy metals, but it has little effect on past exposures. Health authorities in America have discouraged people from collecting kelp along the shoreline because it could be contaminated by industrial pollution. It was suggested that deep ocean kelp be obtained commercially, either as a food or in supplement form. 
 

Health Benefits of Kelp 

Kelp contains over 60 minerals and elements, 21 amino acids, simple and complex carbohydrates and several essential plant growth hormones. Being rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements is one of the key reasons why kelp is known as a great promoter of glandular health, especially for the pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands. Kelp also supplies a natural source of iodine, which acts as an antibiotic to kill germs. Since the thyroid and pituitary glands regulate certain functions of digestion, kelp is beneficial in balancing out humans and animal's total system. Nature has offered us this marvelous "herb of the sea" in a complete and balanced form. 

Kelp Uses: Birth Defects (prevention); Dropsy; Edema; Fatigue; Glands; Goiter; Low Blood Pressure; Morning Sickness; Pituitary/Thyroid Problems; Pleurisy; Schizophrenia; Senility; Stomach (bleeding); Varicose Veins; Venereal Disease; Vitality; Weight Loss.

Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae (AFA) blue-green algae

The "Invisible Flower of the Water" for People and Animals' Health

AFA algae targets hidden nutritional deficiencies and detoxifies your body

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a fresh water, edible species of blue-green algae, the most nutritious food on the planet. 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. 

Chlorophyll, which is contained in algae, is very important. Algae are the highest known source of chlorophyll that is vital for rapid assimilation of amino acids. Eating high chlorophyll foods helps production of vitamin E in the body. 

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

Dr. Gabriel Cousens M.D. - "As a physician working with thousands of clients, I find that AFA helps to restore overall biochemical balance by nourishing the body at the cellular level. The positive response from the use of AFA has 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."



Coral Calcium, a gift from the bottom of the sea

The Coral Calcium story began when a journalist with the Guinness Book of Records was dispatched to interview a man named Shigechiyo Izumi who lived on a small island off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. Guinness was looking to verify and document that Mr. Izumi was the world's oldest living human at ate 115. During the interview, the journalist noticed that most of the islanders enjoyed the same good health as Mr. Izumi and that these islanders seldom died before age 95. Mr. Izumi submitted to a full medical checkup and at 115, doctors were amazed to find that he was still a very healthy man. This prompted a team of researchers to try to determine what was keeping these people in such incredible health. They found the water the islanders drank was different from water found anywhere else in the world. These islands were built up from coral reefs and when rain falls, it percolates coral deposits and picks up minerals and other elements that make it truly unique. This water contained many essential minerals that are chemically similar to the elements found in the human skeleton, body fluids and blood. It was also very alkaline, with pH of 8.6. Scientists concluded that maintaining the alkaline pH appears to be essential for life, health and vitality. 

Among the oldest and most primitive of organisms is coral. Coral reefs surround islands everywhere in the world, but the coral reefs surrounding Okinawa have proved to be like no other. Coral Calcium has a natural pH range of 10-11 and has an alkalizing effect on the body, which can be of great support to those who need to offset acidity levels*.  Out of over 2,500 varieties of coral in the world, only the Sango Coral contains an organic composition identical to that of the human skeleton, including calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium and many other microscopic elements essential to human life. It  is widely used for bone grafts throughout the world. Because coral calcium is ionic and readily bioavailable, it does not become a free radical in the process and donates electrons to repair the damaged cells. A major health benefit! more

Barefoot on Coral Calcium describes how coral remnants collected from the Okinawan ocean floor provide a powerhouse of versatile health benefits of coral minerals and calcium from Okinawa, Japan, when they are used as a dietary supplement

Coral Calcium comes from the Sango Reefs 

* Disease proliferate only where there is not enough oxygen for cells to be healthy. Raw foods contain an abundance of oxygen. In cooked foods, oxygen is destroyed. The cells of the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell pH is below 7.0. The more acid the cells become, the sicker we are and feel. We can remain in health by consuming a diet that is 70-80% alkaline and 20-30% acid. Most raw-foods dietsare predominantly alkaline forming foods.PH Test Papers


Water of Life
A fossilized kelp product extracted from the sea 

Begins as a fossilized kelp product called "Calzyme," a unique and potent blend of natural minerals and calcium salts extracted from the sea and concentrated through decomposition over eons of time. WaterOz then adds its own blend of "missing elements" to create a finished product that aids and promotes the body’s natural functions, helps promote healthy blood, the strengthening of cell walls, and the proper contraction and relaxation of muscles such as the heart.The numerous elements that compose our bodies are constantly being used up and must be replenished. Unlike all other WaterOz mineral products targeted to specific health needs, Water of Life contains approximately 84 trace elements, making it the perfect nutritional supplement for overall body maintenance.



Ancient Bathing Remedies for Modern Living

Ocean therapy encompasses the understanding that the element of water provides a restorative balancing of emotions through tuning-in to the cyclical rhythms of the ocean. From swimming with dolphins to incorporating ocean healing into traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Ocean Therapy is becoming more popular as a tool for healing deep emotional scars. Ocean Therapy also includes the bathing hydrotherapies that have applications to skin nutrition. Traditionally these therapies are referred to as Thalasso Therapy.

Thalassotherapy is an ageless, health-restorative technique. Thalassa is the ancient Greek word for sea. The Greeks indeed used the sea for their well-being. I myself have seen 2500 year-old healing sites on the Greek islands of Rhodes and Corfu, and the ancient Greek healing center at Pergamum in what is now Turkey.

Thalassotherapy comes from the Greek word thalassos, or sea, and is a treatment system using fresh heated seawater which induces an exchange of minerals and toxins between the blood and the water. It is extremely popular in Europe, especially France. As with thermal spas, thalassotherapy centres benefit those with certain medical conditions such as arthritis, and also those without. 

Even judging by the therapeutic centers still known to us, much of the population of the ancient Greek and Roman world soaked in sea water hot tubs and heated seaweed baths, drank and inhaled sea water for health, got sea water massages, had sea green facials and body wraps, and used sea water pools for hydrotherapy and detoxification. Today we are learning, once again, about the ability of the sea to reduce tension and de-stress our bodies, detoxify the skin and improve circulation, speed weight loss and cellulite control, and even ease menopausal discomforts.

Typically, a stay at a thalassotherapy centre would include daily bathing in a heated seawater pool with jets, and other facilities such as as massages, aromatherapy or algae wraps.  A therapeutic bath is an excellent medium for whole body rejuvenation. The skin, being the largest organ and riddled with capillaries, ducts, and nerve endings, constitutes a major eliminative and absorptive system. Engaging this system plus the olfactory and dermal neural senses with the healing modalities of Aromatherapy, Herbology, and Mineral Thallasotherapy (sea water therapy) in one medium, can bring about profound changes in both mind and body. A hot seaweed bath is one of the most effective treatments in natural healing. When we take seaweed baths, we  are tapping into the ancestral and restorative source of all life- the ocean.

    Protecting The Thyroid Gland In Radiation Emergencies The toll of thyroid cancer carried by the fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster could have been prevented, new evidence suggests. Governments world-wide are now stockpiling a supplement that protects the thyroid from radiation fallout (radioiodine). Amongst them are Japan, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Sweden, etc., but not the U.S. Learn how to protect your thyroid gland. 

    In 1974 a report was published by I. Yamamoto et. al. in the Japanese Journal of Experimental Medicine, (44: 543-46). These scientists reported that several varieties of Kombu Mojaban (common sea vegetables eaten in Asia and traditionally used as a decoction for cancer in Chinese herbal medicine) were effective in the treatment of tumors in laboratory experiments. "In three of four samples tested, inhibition rates in mice with implanted sarcomas ranged from 89-95%." "The tumor underwent complete regression in half of the mice in each treated group." Similar experiments on mice with leukemia have also shown promising results." scientific studies

    Healing Clay - Healing Earth Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite, Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history. According to Knishinsky, benefits reported by people using liquid clay for a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal regularity; relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum repair; and increased resistance to infections. Clay works on the entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched by its healing energies, he notes.

    "The eating of clay has been observed in [ native ] peoples and animals in all parts of the world since antiquity. Early writers described the widespread use of kanwa ( earth from a lick near Lake Chad ) for animals and humans in Nigeria. Long journeys were made to [ this ] lick to obtain a tribal supply of this earth, and it was then issued as rations to cattle and humans... learn more

    Other Earth Cure: Fulvic Acids and Shilajit Fulvic Acid and Shilajit are involved in complex biochemical reactions in living plants and animals, which directly influence the very metabolic processes at the cellular level. Fulvic acid is a humic substance or extract. Humic substances are found in rich humus soil in trace amounts and are considered nature's own best medicine for plants, animals, humans, and the Earth itself. To the science of living cells, fulvic acids are vital in bringing substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals into water solution and delivering their living energies to the living cells. Fulvic acid assists every stage of cellular metabolism and is the most powerful, natural electrolyte known. It restores electrical balance to damaged cells, neutralizes toxins and can eliminate food poisoning within minutes. Shilajit in Sanskrit means "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness". It comes from the rocks in the lower Himalayas and is the most important natural remedy of Ayurvedic medicine. The active principle of shilajit is fulvic acid. Traditionally considered a panacea and a strong kidney tonic, it increases the core energy responsible for your sexual and spiritual power, the same force that is withered by stress and anxiety. “There is hardly any curable disease which cannot be controlled or cured with the aid of Shilajit.” - Famous Indian Vaid Charak (1st Century A.D. It is used by the indigenous system of medicine in India, Hakims and Vaids and traditional healers, in a great variety of diseases: genitourinary diseases, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, asthma, gall stones, jaundice, painful and bleeding piles, epilepsy, enlarged liver and spleen, fermentative dyspepsia, digestive disorders, worms, renal and bladder calculi, nervous debility, sexual neurasthenia, hysteria, anaemia and in bone fracture.


    Healing with Holy Thistle (Blessed Thistle) and Other Herbs

    Blessed thistle taken in meat or drink is good for the swimming and giddiness of the head; it strengthens the memory and is a singular remedy against deafness.  The same boiled in wine and drunk, heals the griping pains of the belly, kills and expels worms, causes sweat, provokes urine, and drives out gravel, cleanses the stomach; and is very good against the 4 day fever.The use of blessed thistle commonly known as holy thistle (Carbenia benedicta) has been recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century for treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, and flatulence.  Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small pox. Historically, blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems, liver and gall bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments, memory improvement and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy skin. The plant gained the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague. Blessed thistle is also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting metabolic activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially noted as a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as they would its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver disorders. more



    "Bee Pollen  is often referred to as nature's most complete food, containing all of the 22 elements that the human body requires to function, provides you with 135 essential nutrients, a vast array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and more. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates the body, stimulates organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. Bee pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy levels makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes and those interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance."

    Curing with Cayenne

Dr. Schulze  "In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around)."

    Glyconutrients / Glyconutritionals / Saccharides - It's Role in People and Animals' Health and Wellness
    Glyconutrients are not vitamins, minerals, herbals, homeopathics or enzymes. They are a class all to themselves. They are supplements derived from nature that have been formulated based on a new understanding in biochemistry of how our bodies maintain health at the cellular level. This new discovery is as significant as the discovery of the role of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and amino acids in how the  body functions. Glyconutritionals are the foods and nutritional supplements that provide saccharides along with other glycoforms (lipids and proteins) essential to the body, but which are scarce in most diets. Over 20,000 studies have been conducted on individual glyconutrients, and virtually all of them have positive outcomes and show great promise as healers of the future. Based on the knowledge that the body can heal itself through cell to cell communication if given the proper nutrients, glyconutrients are seen by many scientists and doctors as the missing link to optimal health. 


    A further look at healing with nature. Nature provides us with a simple, straightforward system for regaining and maintaining superb human health and beauty.
     
  • Healing with Food: Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself.
  • Healing through Fasting: Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism.
  • Healing with Water: Hydrotherapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick.
  • Healing with Sunlight: Sunlight helps the body heal wounds and injuries and overcome virtually any illness.
  • Healing with Earth: Clay is renowned to have many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans.
  • Healing with Plants: Plants have the power to supply the bodies’ life force with the energies it needs to restore and maintain health.
  • Healing with Urine: One of the most powerful, most researched and most medically proven natural cures ever discovered.
  • Healing from the Hives: Bee pollen rejuvenates your body, stimulates organs and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. 
  • Basic Healing Principles: The body has an innate capacity to heal itself. Self-healing can only occur once the cause of the illness has been eliminated. Why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease?  Physicians and surgeons palliate symptoms instead of removing causes 



  • 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, What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccinescongressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

    Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children.

For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)
