UC Berkeley Wellness Letter authors remain nutritionally illiterate about chlorella, spirulina, and blue-green algae

[Rockerforlife]

In my view, chlorella, spirulina, and blue-green algae are three of the best sources of nutrition for every human being alive. I believe that every person should be taking some of these supplements every single day, and that if we did, we wouldn't need the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter because we wouldn't have chronic diseases at the same rate we are seeing them today. We wouldn't need prescription drugs or a pharmaceutical industry, or a disease care system that masquerades as a health care system. We could all be healthy, both mentally and physically.

"...chlorella, spirulina, and blue-green algae are three of the best sources of nutrition for every human being alive"

Specifically, what do these foods offer that's not included in a diet not including these supplements?

I think a dialog along those lines would probably be more constructive than an assertion that perfect personal health is a neccessary prerequisite for reporting on nutitional news and opinion. After all - it would seem none of us are qualified to contribute to this thread if we adhere to those guidelines.

Are you suggesting that pond scum (spirulina) will cure HCV or at least make us well? If so I seriously doubt that. I took spirulina when I had HCV and nothing happened. My enzymes, VL and symptoms remained unchanged. Please don't suggest pond scum is a panacea for HCV-ers, because it isn't.

Hi Rock,

I think this is what you're taking issue with: BTW I have no position on this at all, just passing along the link for others and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!

See, when it comes to credibility, you've got to put your money where your mouth is. And this is directed to the author at the Wellness Letter -- if you're going to run around and say that you know what you're talking about; if you're going to tell people that supergreens are pond scum, then you better have some health statistics to prove it. You better be able to demonstrate that you are in perfect health, and that you have attained that perfect health by following your own advice.
