Spirulina

Anyone here had any negative reactions to taking products that
contain spirulina? Two days ago my husband tried a vitamin
and mineral supplement called Intramax and had an immediate
negative reaction -- sour stomach, weakness, brain fog, etc. He
had been using similar product (same manufacturer) called
Intramin before, with no problems. I noticed that one of the
ingredients in the Intramax that was NOT in Intramin is spirulina.

Hi Cara,

Think i remember that somebody said it needs to be taken in large amounts or will just move heavy metals around in the body..also there has been discussion about it often being contaminated. I have only done one swoop through the herb store long ago now.. All of the supplements are gone except the spirulina.. Have used it a couple of time, but in places where it would come out of the body as well..(anally, vaginally, and sniffing it!!??:)) At the time i did use it I did have other stuff come out with it and great improvement!! Have not often intuited taking it orally in the capsule, this is why i still have some left, sometimes i use the capsules to put other things in or part spirulina and part something else.. Did help me. Have a feeling that it "attracts" the stuff you want out of the body, or attaches itself to it and that is why i intuit to use it in places where it comes out within a couple of days.. Only used it for about a week, but did make a jump in terms of getting better
that week..

Love and light

5 years ago, I was taking spirulina regularly, and felt that I was
getting a boost in energy from it. Then I went to several people who
did compatibility testing via muscle testing, ART, EAV, etc. All
of them tested the spirulina as being bad, which mystified me
because I was convinced it was doing me good.

Later on in a discussion group, someone mentioned that Earthrise
spirulina (the brand I was taking) was known to be contaminated
with lead. So that might have been it. I also think that all of
the freshwater algae products (chlorella, spirulina, blue-green
algae) are potentially contaminated with heavy metals, because
of their very nature to attract heavy metals. The salt-water
based sea vegetables don't seem to have this problem, or if they
do it's not nearly as bad, as I've regularly tested well for
things with kelp, dulse, etc. in them.

Alternately, it may be that the spirulina is mobilizing the
metals already in the body, causing them to be let loose into
the bloodstream and cause further damage. My wife stopped taking spirulina
because it caused her heart palpitations, and I think this
could be caused by mobilized metals (I also got heart palpitations
following the removal of my mercury fillings).

That all said, I have occasionally tested well on "Vitamineral
Green", which contains both spirulina and chlorella in the
ingredients list. So perhaps these aren't contaminated,
or perhaps there are other beneficial ingredients which outweigh
the negatives of these being there.

But in general, I think the safe thing to do is to avoid the fresh
water algaes altogether (chlorella, spirulina, blue-green algae).

Hi folks,

I have taken spirulina for nearly two years. At times as these days I
take as much as 40 grams daily. I get a great boost from it as from
nothing else. Also, besides being electrosensitive I am very
sensitive to the quality of the food I eat. Spirulina is one of the
foods I like the most.

The spirulina I have been ingesting for two year now could be
potentially polluted from who knows what since it is harvested in the
Texcoco Lake which is in a heavily populated area near Mexico City.
Yet, I still take it because if I do not take it I feel very bad.
When I take it I feel the spirulina stimulates my elimination
procecess which is a good thing.

I am very sensitive to pollutants... much more than most people I know
personally. I cant stand smoking, incense, dust, some chemical paints,
but I get much benefit from potentially polluted algae. I can also
feel when something is making toxins flush out of my body as some
clays, fermented foods and spirulina.

It is likely that spirulina "recycles" some of the pollution into some
nutrients, I read it thrives in human urine. Who knows?
