Health Benefits of Liquid Chlorophyll

This is a very good information. Thank you…

hei i used the chlorophyll and spirulina together for almost a year and it works wonders for me. i had a break out skin, and easily tend to headache.
at first 2 months drink chlorophyll and spirulina my acne become more and more and also my headache become worse, but i still continue drinking the stuff because my doctor said is part from the healing. so if you have acne it will become more worse for 2 till 3 months, it all come out and after it clean out your bacteria. after 4 months i see the different in my skin also no more headache. i’ve been using it for a year now and i feel great.

This message is for Roger Squirrell regarding your wife. I’ve been doing much research because I have metastatic lung cancer. I’m also seeing a local alternative doctor. Poly-MVA would be great for your wife. It’s very effective for brain cancer patients. I’m going to start taking it because so many people have done so well even lung cancer patients, but it’s suppose to be best for brain cancer patients.

Thanks for your contribution to the 177th Carnival of Healing. There are some great comments accumulating on the original post & you may want to take a gander.

There has been no scientific evidence as yet to show that your claims are true. Mere listing out things that a particular item can cure many diseases, or that it can improve the health is not sufficient. People have seen many such healing plans, improvement techniques, diet plans etc over the last 200 years. ‘Faith healing’ or a ‘placibo effect’ has been reported to have been playing the miracle. “Oil pulling”, “Water therapy”, “Aroma therapy”, “yoga”, Pyramid therapy”, “Wheat grass therapy”, “breath conrtol techniques”, “curing illness by maintaining silence”, “Urine therapy”, “Green vegetable therapy” etc have shown to be of little or no use. As far as nutrients are concerned they may have their own effect on the health status. This doesn’t mean that they can do wonders. Look at ‘David’s’ post on 03.05.09 and try to understand things in the right way. Don’t make business out of such illogical, unproven, scientifically unsupported things. The health conscious people must make a note that in the long run they may reach a point where no remedy can do anything. I have seen many people who have done irrepairable damage to their health after following such therapies. They neglected their health leaving it in the hands of the ‘FAITH’ and finally lost their lives. All these people reported ‘improvements’ initially. Take a note of this my dear people. Afterall Health is your concern. Business is their concern.

PART-1

Dear Mr. Ross,

“Be careful of the words you say,
Keep them short and sweet.
You never know, from day to day,
Which ones you’ll have to eat.”
- Anonymous

After having read the reply given by Mr. Ross, I have recalled a funny but a seriously eye opening incident that happened to Charles Babbage when his first computer was shown to the House members. One House Members asked him “If you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” By citing this quote I want to clarify you that I don’t like to put wrong figures to get right answers. That’s ‘my’ nature.

In ‘Guess at truth by two brothers’ Augustus William Hares remind me of your words and your blog. It reads “Some minds are made of blotting-paper. You can write nothing on them distinctly. They swallow the ink and you find a large spot”. I don’t like to remain as a blank spot. Hence I am responding to your reply. If you have no blotting-papers listen to me carefully.

You have included the words ‘angry’, ‘aggressive’ ’shame’, ’stupid’, ‘cowardly’ etc in your reply to my comments. You have also said that my comments are ‘negative’ and that you have invited ‘constructive comments’. You have said that ‘you don’t expect’ my response.

It all shows that you don’t like comments that are not supplemental and supportive to you or the ways you have shown or the products you have suggested. Your way of attacking on the opinions expressed by readers reminds me of the two famous sayings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. One of him says “Brute animals have the vowel sounds: Man can utter only consonants.” I don’t think you need no explanation to understand this. The other says “Talk of the devil and the horns appear.” I have never talked of the devil but it seems that the horns have appeared.

If any one goes through the two comments made by each of us previously one can easily know who is aggressive and attacking. Instead of using such objectionable and derogatory language, you should have simply suggested additional references in support of your claims.

Coming to the points made by you in your reply here is my answer.

1. By Nature’s Grace I am sound. I have a sound mind in a sound body. I am not aggressive. You have rightly guessed that I have valid points. Yes. I have valid evidence. I will show it soon.

2. I have read your article carefully. I have done the home work before making my comments. You should have warned the readers of your blog not to comment negatively on your posts in the beginning itself. Do this now and avoid negative comments. You have also suggested that I should not make negative comments on ‘anyone else’s blog’. Thanks for your suggestion. This way of avoiding the right to question or the right to know is not new. It has been there ever since the Genesis.

3. I have never said anything negatively about the ‘go green concept’. I have not commented anything negatively on “Consuming a good quantity of fresh, mostly raw, chlorophyll-rich (green) vegetables is important for optimal health” Has anybody noticed that I have gone against eating green vegetables or green drinks in my comments?

4. My point is that we should not go beyond a stage where we trust them to be the ‘miracle makers’. I have only objected to your claims such as chlorophyll makes….. ‘Wonders’ ‘Chlorophyll is miraculous’, ‘the most marvelous and amazing benefit’, ‘fantastic’, ‘absolute wonders for your health and energy.’, ‘So it makes sense that we should, somehow, give our body hemoglobin! “But how?” I hear you ask. “Chlorophyll”, I answer.’……etc, etc. What do all these words tell us? They implant a concept that chlorophyll is a wonderful and all in one remedy. My comments are only to highlight the point that chlorophyll cannot be that all wonderful because no where in the scientific world, the relationship of chlorophyll and human health has been ever proved to show your claims, not even in your citations. They only show us the marginal effects of vegetables on the diseases and in two cases they only cite the marginal reduction of carcinogen aflatoxin B1 in rats and in another case it statistically showed a marginal result in reducing the blood transfusion time intervals ignoring the clinically important credibility.
5. I am quoting the words of Professor Mark L. Wahlqvist (Professor of Medicine at Monash University and current Chairperson of the Australian Nutrition Foundation Inc.) and David R. Briggs (a food scientist and Associate Professor in the Department of Human Nutrition at Deakin University) on science and its nature “What distinguishes science from other systems of knowledge is the predictability of a particular outcome when a practice or event is repeated. Ideas are the starting point, but they are not enough. Observations must be repeatable. Explanations must be consistent, no matter how tested. The establishment of a scientific fact depends on well-designed, extensive and rigorous testing. Ideas and explanations must be able to stand up to full evaluation by other scientists.”
6. I believe in the word of Alexander Eliot who in his book “In the Global Myths” says that scientific myths are Credos, rather than hypothesis carefully tested for fit with empirical evidence. Lord Kelvin saying that ‘heavier than air flight is impossible’ was a belief not a tested principle. And most of modern cosmology fits into the same credo pattern, where superstring theory is a mathematical model created through speculation not to account for experimental data.”

7. I believe that “The availability to the body of a particular nutrient (iron in this case) is affected by more than just the amount of that nutrient in a food or even the whole meal. For example, phytate found with dietary fiber, phytase (an enzyme from yeast), or tannin from tea affects the bioavailability of iron from our diet (the extent to which the iron in food can be utilized by the body). The food components that have no nutritive value must also be considered because they may react chemically with some nutrients, or have physiological effects. For example, phyto-oestrogens in some plants (substances with female sex hormone like properties) could modify the menstrual cycle and menstrual blood and iron loss in some women who ate these plants in sufficient quantity. It must be remembered that foods are chemically complex mixtures, and not simply sources of particular combinations of nutrients.” Professor Mark L. Wahlqvist and David R. Briggs.
8. Keeping in view the above explanation of science and research I have some ‘Valid
points’ as follows.

In your reply, the citations made by you are not new. They are well known. By citing well known research about vegetables you cleverly concealed your claims of chlorophyll such as the….. “wonderful effects”, “chlorophyll actually helps to do the job of hemoglobin”, “It helps to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, boosting our energy and increasing our wellbeing almost instantly”, “Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level and is known to help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems. Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore, increase oxygen utilization by the body. Chlorophyll also reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs. It also breaks down calcium oxalate stones for elimination, which are created by the body for the purpose of neutralizing and disposing of excess acid”……. etc. It would have been more reliable if you have cited the studies related to the above mentioned claims. I have no doubt about the beneficial effects of vegetables. I have only expressed my doubts about the miraculous effects of chlorophyll. You should have given the research evidence about the relationship between hemoglobin and chlorophyll, its capacity to rebuild and replenish red blood cells, boosting energy effects, instant effects, cleansing nature, infection healing properties, wound healing nature, improving nature of the health status of circulatory, digestive immune and detoxification natures.

9. I have not ignored the carcinogenetic effects of vegetables, but I have only opposed your ingenious way of linking the vegetables and fruits (they are not even green vegs) and their effect on cancer curing, to that of chlorophyll. You have purposefully hidden this fact. No where in the studies mentioned by you, there is one word about the effect of chlorophyll on carcinogens. It’s just a clever manipulation of scientific facts in support of your claims just as I have mentioned in beginning of this reply about Babbage’s incident.

10. I have said “their business”. This doesn’t mean you are doing the business. I have never meant this. It is your right to include advertisements. None should oppose it. The word “their” has been used only to indicate the different products or claims made by a number of companies which none should believe. You yourself might have seen hundreds, perhaps thousands of advertisements whose beneficial effects are doubtful. Here I am not just talking about ‘chlorophyll’. Just by adding evidence they are shelling out people a lot of their hard earned money. I have seen people selling a 200g pack of Wheat Grass Powder for Rs. 200 which would actually have costed them nothing more than just Rs. 20. After having seen such exploitation I have used the term ‘business’. You are in no way concerned with this word. I have not meant it also.

11. I don’t want to know who you are or what you are doing. Work more hard and help others in matters of health. You need not tell us about how many hours, days, months, or years you have spent on health matters as long as your aim is finding ways of improving the health of one and all. I appreciate it. I have said nothing about you or your hard work. Remember Mark Twain’s words that “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” I have only expressed my opinions on the claims that you have mentioned in the post. Your claims do not have credibility if you mention the number of hours, days, months and years.

12. I have only questioned the doubtful claims. Should everyone who makes comments on your blog show the alternative ways? Is it a Himalayan blunder to make comments that are not acceptable to you? You have said that I have even without giving my opinion
criticized you. What all I have expressed in my previous post is itself my opinion. It is self explanatory. I have shown what health conscious people should do. If at all I want to show the ways in detail, I would do it on my own blog. It’s just a comments column and I cannot go on with word and phrases such as ‘wonderful. ‘Marvelous’, ‘unbelievable things’ (that can’t be true), ‘exactly… tools’, ‘miraculous’, ‘amazing benefit’, ‘fantastic’, and so on and so forth. However I am thankful for your suggestion. I too will work hours, days, months and years and do the needful research and start a blog, but remember I will not ask anyone to make only ‘constructive comments’, as you have said.

13. I appreciate your “love to hear viewpoints that are well constructed” I can understand the meaning of “well constructed”. If at all my comments are not well constructed, I apologize for my comments, but be kind enough to have the heart to receive comments that are not tasteful to you.

14. I understand from your citations
a) that the research is related to vegetables and fruits and not to chlorophyll. I have said nothing against the intake of vegetables or fruits. You have a banner heading on the blog as “Health Benefits of Liquid Chlorophyll, and also you have repeatedly said the miraculous effects of chlorophyll. Do you mean to say that vegetables and fruits are synonymous with chlorophyll? If you want to corroborate your chlorophyll claims you should have cited the authenticated research related to chlorophyll and its positive effects only. You have used the term chlorophyll 29 times in your post and you have not used the word vegetables anywhere in your post. You just mentioned the name of a few green vegs. Do your research citations mention anything about green? Do they say that taking chlorophyll or green vegetables reduce the risk of all types of cancer? Why haven’t you cited references related to your specific claims instead of showing the links that are confined to one of your claims? Of the hundreds of references given at the end of each of the abstract is there one reference that talks about chlorophyll? Why have you skipped this part and ingeniously moved to vegetable research?
b) that the works on the anti carcinogenic effect done by Ben-Arye E and others, Mario G. Ferruzzi and others, Marwaha, and de Vogel and others, Simonich and others show some weaknesses in their studies such as small samples sizes, lack of clinical corroboration, limited size of variants, statistical and clinical insignificance in some cases, weak predictability nature and weak empirical evidence etc. In such a case we have to wait until we get clear cut, concrete evidence in terms strict scientific, statistical and clinical research as follow ups of the above mentioned works.
c) that though there are contradicting evidences on the positive effects of antioxidants, vitamins, and the nature of research itself, we cannot take all research for granted. Studies such as “Multivitamins fail to protect women from cancers and heart disease: Study”,” John’s wort won’t help hyperactive kids” “research on Antioxidants and meta-analyses controversy on it’s doubtful positive effect”, etc raise many doubts. Look for example the work “no benefit in low-fat in reducing the risk of certain cancers and heart disease for 25,000 women in a medical trial, Dr. Brian Martinson survey regarding the scientifically questionable behaviors in carrying out research like falsifying data, plagiarism or ignoring major aspects of rules for conducting studies, assigning authorship credit inappropriately or withholding details of methodology or results in papers or proposals or changing the design, methodology or results of a study in response to pressure from a funding source etc. (relevant sources and abstracts are given at the end of this reply).
(…continued on the next post as 2nd part as site is not taking the whole lot at once.)

PART-3 (…….continuation of part-2)
Mr. Ross finally I have some questions to ask you:
1. Why have you not given the research citations on chlorophyll as you claimed it to be the miracle maker?
2. Can you give any concrete evidence to support your claim that chlorophyll is an absolute substitute for hemoglobin?
3. Can you show that chlorophyll and hemoglobin are absolutely identical except the central iron and magnesium?
4. Do you have any evidence to show that “……. ingested, chlorophyll actually helps to do the job of hemoglobin “?
5. How can you show that “It helps to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, boosting our energy and increasing our wellbeing almost instantly”?
6. From where have you got the ‘fact’ that “Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level”? Do you have any research evidence of chlorophyll working at molecular level and cellular level as you claimed?
7. What evidence do you have at your disposal to show that chlorophyll “help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems”?
8. How can you say that “Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore, increase oxygen utilization by the body.”?
9. Do you have direct scientific evidence to show that “Chlorophyll also reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs”? Don’t cite the researches done on vegetables and fruits.
10. How can you conclude that “It also breaks down calcium oxalate stones for elimination”?
11. Do you have any evidence to show that because chlorophyll is “ highly alkaline, also gives the body the following benefits”? (Like anti carcinogenic etc) Don’t cite research again on vegetables and their anti carcinogenic nature or study with 22 and 30 rats as done by Simonich and others.
12. Can you surely confirm that chlorophyll is free from aflatoxin B1? Since the studies by Simonich and others (though their sample size is very minimum-just 22 rats and 30 rats in two situations) say that chlorophyll with reference to aflatoxin B1 can be anti carcinogenic then what about the origin of aflatoxins? Where do you get them from? Are you sure that chlorophyll itself is free from aflatoxins? Are the vegetables, agricultural practices, geographical differences, and food and forage issues not involved in the propagation of aflatoxin B1? Are you sure that ‘the green’ and the chlorophyll products you suggest that there is no risk of aflatoxins? Does this research on aflatoxin B1 establishes chlorophyll’s ‘anti carcinogenic’ effect for all cancer forms and can it be an evidence in support of your claim that “Chlorophyll protects against a whole host of carcinogens”?

13. Though their second study says that dietary Chlorophyll can reduce tumor genesis in any whole animal model, and that it is, species-independent mechanism, how can you determine that it is clinically approvable?

14. Have you not noticed that the second study in continuation of their first study by the same authors do not anywhere in their study say how many rain bow trout were fed with DBP and how many trout were fed with chlorophyll, though they say that they had included 140 rain bow trout in their study? Does this not indicate the weaker part of the probe?

15. Don’t such medically important findings need clinically corroborative evidence?
Why haven’t such an important finding been suggested for clinical findings in humans?
Doesn’t this show that we need to have more research and statistical analysis and clinical research?
16. Do you agree to the fact that “small sample size reminded us of the adage that all statistically significant results might not be clinically significant”? as said by R.K. Marwaha, Deepak Bansal while talking about their study on thalassemics, consuming wheat grass juice.

17. What about your other claims like antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, deodorizing, rapid Mg delivery natures etc? Why haven’t you included the evidence to show their scientific validity?

18. Is it scientific to say that if certain item contains certain things that are needed for the body, can they be suggested to be taken for consumption right away?

19. How can you say that Mg in chlorophyll helps to “deliver much needed oxygen to cells and tissues.”? Do you have evidence to show that Mg in chlorophyll delivers oxygen to cells and tissues?

20. Because Chlorophyll is reported to have the antioxidants like superoxide dismutase the cancer cells are killed? Do the proponents of chlorophyll have any evidence?

21. Because it is reported to have Cytochrome oxidase, how can anyone claim that
cancerous degeneration of a cell is stopped due to its presence as claimed by these proponents?
22. What do you mean by repairing “red blood cells’, “boosting immune system”?
23. While the Research has shown that plant-based eating has fantastic benefits for health including protection from heart disease, less obesity, lower blood pressure along with reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and other lifestyle diseases why haven’t you suggested the eating of plant based eating habits instead of ‘go green’ and ‘chlorophyll’ which do not have valid research. The only available research is one by Simonich and others who have said nothing about your claims except for cancer (that too was limited to aflatoxin-B – They themselves are saying that it was first time that this kind of research was done.
24. When research shows that eating different types of fruits and vegetables have health benefits because of phytochemicals and that they can be grouped into five colour groups according to the phytochemicals they contain - Green, yellow/orange, red, blue/purple and white/brown, how can you suggest that only chlorophyll or green vegetable only do the same. Research clearly shows that there are many different phytochemicals that work together to protect your health how can you eliminate them all and propagate only one? What is the secret behind it?

Happiness: We rarely feel it.
I would buy it, beg it, steal it,
Pay in coins of dripping blood
For this one transcendent good.

Trying to have a good day.
Ramachandra Rao.

I went on google to find out how chlorophyll was extracted from the alfalfa plant and stumbled across this blog. I was impressed by the simplicity in which Ross outlined the benefits of chlorophyll. I am a firm believer in the benefits of chlorophyll, not because of the scientific evidence and lengthy studies but because I have personally witnessed the MIRACULOUS nature of this substance that has been given to us by God’s creation not “business”. My daughter had major respiratory complications as a toddler and was fed steroids and breathing treatments by doctors during her multiple stays at the hospital. It wasn’t until my mother began making a drink for her- chlorophyll, honey, water and lemons- did I witness the change in her condition. This was the only change I made in her diet besides stopping all medications. I understand people like Ramachandr Rao, who won’t believe anything until there is undeniable evidence, but in the meantime, I hope that all who took the time to read this detailed dispute of the validity of chlorophyll, PLEASE TRY IT YOURSELF!!! It sounds as if Ramachandr Rao, is a CEO of a drug company that wants to discredit the fact that GREEN HEALS! I know that millions of dollars have not been allocated to scientist to do studies of hundreds of people, but I can attest to the fact that I personally have heard the testimonies of literally hundreds of people who have instantly been energized, detoxified, and healed by taking chlorophyll regularly.
Ramachandr Rao- I do appreciate the extensive information, it has allowed me to extend my research.
Ross- keep up your good works of passing on good information. It is up to each of us to go beyond what one person writes to determine what is right for ourselves!

it was quite interesting and informative to read Sr. Ross`s article and findings on the benefits of chlorophyll on health. while we all agree that green leafy vegetables are really a source of the nutrients needed to build up good haemogloobin, it is not always available in all places to have it on a regular basis to include it in our daily diet.
it is true that we cant say that it alone can cure diseases like eneamia , cancer or some deadly disease. that is what i feel. anywau its worth trying as my haemoglobin is as low as nine and i feel tired , rather exhaused since the last couple of months. no amount of dexorenge nor raricap tabs are able to increase and improve my condition. i am above 80 + and am on many medications such as prassopress xl5, imdur 30 clopigrel and several vitamis for a few years. can i take this drink safely. pl advise.

I stumbled on this blog while looking into the health benefits of juicing wheatgrass and I have really enjoyed it. Ross, Ramachandra Rao doesn’t sound angry to me at all. Lisa, why put a negative label on him (CEO of a drug company)? Read what he has written. He is simply a guy who has questioned some of the claims made here…and done a good job of it, I might add! If you don’t agree with what he says don’t just slap a negative label on him in an attempt to discredit him. Respond to his claims with information obtained from research and, yes sometimes, experience.

I’m enjoying what I’m reading here. Thanks, Ross, for your efforts and to all the rest for your contributions.

I know for 100% fact that liquid chlorophyll HAS raised my hemoglobin and platelet levels. I am pregnant now and at 30 weeks my midwife said that if I didn’t raise my hemoglobin and platelet levels that I would be considered “high-risk” and that I wouldn’t be able to go to visits with her anymore and I would have to find and OBGYN…apparently, if your hemoglobin and platelets are low than you are at risk to hemorrhage in labor which is something I didn’t think about until she told me the results of my blood test. I was not considered anemic but my hemoglobin was 11.2 and I needed it to be at least 11.5 to deliver my baby at the birth center. Anyway, I looked on the internet for help to raise my blood levels. I knew that eating a lot of spinach and kale and other dark greens would help but I needed something that would work faster. I only have a few weeks until my due date and the levels needed to be up before I went into labor. I read that a midwife had a patient who had a hemoglobin of an 8 (which is really low) and after 3 weeks of taking chlorophyll raised the level to a 10 (which is significantly better). I thought I’d give it a shot. I didn’t take high doses of the liquid chlorophyll, just drank a few teaspoons mixed with hot water 2 times a day like it said to do on the bottle. I did this for 2 weeks and when I got my blood tested again my hemoglobin had raised to 11.8 and my platelet level increased by SEVERAL points. I didn’t change my diet at all. It has been 5 weeks since I started drinking it and I feel great. My skin is even looking a lot better (the pregnancy hormones had been making me breakout a lot). I am the only women I know who is 35 weeks pregnant and feels AWESOME!!! I know it is because of the chlorophyll. I don’t need anyone to PROVE to me the benefits of chlorophyll. I know what has happened to my body since I began drinking it. I have seen it’s benefits in action. I can’t wait until I get my blood tested again to see how much it has increased.I am going to continue drinking liquid chlorophyll while I am breastfeeding (mainly because the chlorophyll has great vitamins that my baby needs) and probably for the rest of my life.

First time here and I did enjoy the post but I like you did sense some thing more going on then a simple difference of opinion from Ramachandra…But here is my offering on this and orher kinds of post…When anyone is looking to prove something is good or not so, that is the information they will look for find and share, and not be receptive to what they are not looking for.

I also know “a man/woma convinced against his/her will is a man/women unconvinced still?

And I like you Ross, beleive I daily offer help, but at the end of each day I except the fact the I and one who only offers information and what one does with it must be left up to them, because all things are done based on your own personal beleif system…Keep offering good information especially to those of us that have had personal experience with natural helpers…as alway for the health of “His” people…Minister Dina

I have customers that discontinued taking liquid chlorophyll because it raised their blood pressure. Can people with high blood pressure take liquid chlorophyll?

I just want to say that I enjoyed both articles and it has made me study more but I have witnessed first hand the healing of several people with the use of wheatgrass. One friend was healed fibroid tumors of the uterus by large amounts of wheatgrass and wheatgrass implants, one good friend, healed of stage 4 breast cancer, another of liver disease. Of course they also drastically changed their diets and did a lot of other juicing and eliminating sugar, meat, dairy and grains from their diets. I don’t believe there is just one thing that is going to cure a serious disease, I think it is a combination of several different things but green juicing plays a big part in it. It is a life style, not just merely sipping a couple ounces of juice aday. I also have a good friend that was able to keep her blood up during pregnancy by drinking liquid chlorophyll. I personally have cleared up a gum infection with wheatgrass juice swished around in my mouth a couple times a day and doing a wheatgrass poultice on my gum for a couple days. I don’t care about the lack of scientific evidence, I have seen first hand that it works. There couldn’t be much more powerful truth than witnessing it first hand. Thank you Ross for the blog. I appreciate the hours of study and the preparation that goes into it.

Hi Ross,

I just started looking into liquid chlorophyll and came across your blog. I would like to say to Ramachandra that while it is a shame that his daughter did not benefit from alternative treatments , perhaps it was the placebo effect in reverse? With the wrong attitude natural therapy doesnt have a chance don’t you think?
I myself have suffered from Severe Rheumatoid arthritis with secondary fibromyalgia which is now under control only as a result of many different therapies. I used chinese herbs, naturopathy and nutritional supplements ,mainly esssential fatty acids. I also use a product called Xooma at the moment to alkalinise my body and while I still have flareups the disease is not the constant source of distress it was . . I have learnt that you have to find what works for you, and I look forward to trying the chlorophyll after reading your blog Ross. I have seen it dry up huge abcesses on a patient suffering from alcohol poisoning. So I hope it will help with the fatigue of fibromyalgia which I still have as a residual symptom sometimes. I hope Ramachandra reads this and realises that blogs like this are for those people who want to take control of their health and at the end of the day it is their choice to try a product and see if it works for them.
Keep up the good work ross

Wow! This was so great to read thank you Ramachandra. Food for thought and agreement that everybody is responsible for what they do or dont take on board themselves. Ramachandra, dont think I have ever read anything so well articulated and well informed. Thanks a million for your words. If you ever do set up a website I would love to know the address!

Ross,
First of all, thank you for the information, your time, effort and passion. I believe that you are providing a great service here in cyberspace. Secondly, remember there are “thinkers” and “doers” in this world. Thinkers often talk about quotes, books, stats, philosophy, yadda yadda (etc.) and are very “educated” on theory and subject matters. Doers live it, breathe it, eat it , drink it, walk it and don’t just talk it. Whereas, I am the first one to have my nose in a book, I am ultimately a “doer;” forget theories, I have used myself as a human guinea pig and am living proof of ALL of my ‘words.’

For 15 years of my life, I listened to and followed all of my doctors religiously; I took all of their meds, all of their advice, trusted their every word and was constantly getting sicker every year. I had a plethora of chronic health problems including severe asthma, hay fever, food allergies, bronchitis, arthritis, eczema, sinusitus and a compromised liver, due to all of their drugs. As I aged, I was getting worse and not better. Every year I would develop resistance to my meds and they would be swapped out for the latest drugs on the market within a 2 year period. The bottom line was, I was hospitalized 2ce in the same week for asthma attacks that I thought were going to take me out of here and almost died in childbirth from a severe pre-eclamptic syndrome called HELLP. I was despondent, depressed and in my early 20’s. I thought that I was destined for an early demise UNTIL I turned to “alternatives.” There was no 1 miracle cure in my transition HOWEVER, I can sure as heck tell anyone reading this post that chlorophyll and green foods were a SIGNIFICANT part of my transition into optimal health. I take a supplement both liquid, powdered, juice real greens (dandelion, kale, etc,) with normal consumption including raw vegetables, salads, etc. In other words, I get my chlorophyll every/any way possible! Yes, I include practices of alkaline diet, herbs, homeopathy, juicing, restricted diet, chemical free products as much as possible; but this was a 15 year journey. I “used” to be that scientific, fact, “doctor” worshiping walking medicine cabinet and I am NO LONGER THAT GIRL ANYMORE. I have lived the life of NO pharma drugs for 15 yrs; I have had a successful 2nd pregnancy with NO pre-eclampsia thanks to in part, what Kimra and Ann’s friend did taking a green, chlorophyll rich drink as a supplement weekly to keep blood levels measured; I have had no bouts with ANY of the aforementioned chronic illnesses any longer (beyond arthritis that is aggravated by extreme exercise at times). And just for measure, so I can ‘banter’ with the ‘thinkers,’ I went to get formal study and education on the subject matter of natural healing. I respect opinions of all and have ‘bantered’ with the best, but I am living proof of MY experiences and value those the most. And Rao or NOBODY can take the validity of experience away from me or anyone else with their “theories” of facts! That is not to say that what works for me works for everybody….with that said, I do advise anyone reading these posts not to “knock” ANY of this unless YOU have actually tried it. Do the “formal” research, no doubt; but ALSO decide what you may “do” and try it before dismissal. I am also not dismissing doctors or their work as invalid; I am only stressing that at a point, you must question and take control of your health as it is also your individual responsibility to empower yourself and do what is best for your prosperity and best survival. We depend on doctors too often, without taking personal responsibility ourselves. If I was still following the flock and being a sheep instead of taking some personal action and responsibility, I am convinced that I would be extremely sick or possibly not here to even discuss…. Godspeed

Keep up the good work, Ross.

Ramachandra Rao thanks for opening thought to thinking, where a condition has sought to win.

All I can say is wow! I went to this site just to see what people had to say about the uses of Chlorophyll. A co-worker suggested I try it for healthier living and wasn’t prepared for the great debate. Now I’m more confused than ever about the possible benefits of using Chlorophyll.

I have just started taking chlorophyll (today) because I was told it would help with my degestive system. My question is: how long do I have to take it before i start seeing any beneficial results?
Thanks

Yeah, OK, I had a few typos above. Ramachandra will probably write a novel about that. lol

where can i buy liquid chlorophyll here in philippines?
