Mike,

Problem with a certificate of analysis. Which batch are they testing? Did
they submit a chosen batch to be analyzed? Just because they have this
certificate means little because you can easily stack the deck and make sure
that the batch you submit is clean. What is needed is when someone verifies
the purity without the manuafacturer knowing that the analysis is being
done.

In health,

Here is a mercury-free chlorella, from an independent certificate of
analysis:

I read in Andy's book (pg 129) that chlorella and other algae are
contradicted in mercury toxic people. I also see many detox
protocols emphasize using chlorella--my understanding is that
chlorella binds mercury in the gut thereby supporting elimination.

This is not correct. I am sorry that "scientific medicine" is so full
of groundless superstitions since this abuse of the word "science"
hurts so many people.

So why is chlorella not good.

Chlorella does not bind heavy metals much better than you do, so it
only stirs them around.

It is an observed fact that many people become severely worse using
chlorella for "detox."

While chlorella does not bind mercury and other heavy metals any
better than your body, it DOES bind them better than rocks, soil and
water so there is a substantial risk of GETTING TOXIC from eating
contaminated chlorella. I have seen numerous tests where someone
suddenly shows up with this or that heavy metal after using chlorella
when they did not have any conceivable other source of exposure.

"lot analyzed" chlorella isn't safe from the above problem because the
lot may be a whole pond full, while the contaminated stuff may be
growing on a particular rock so that a few bottles are bad but the
whole lot, on average, is OK.

One of the specific ones I saw was a woman whose hair bismuth went
from not detected to more than +2 standard deviations in a few months
while taking chlorella. That particular chlorella was grown in the
area of germany where they mine bismuth. She otherwise had no
exposure. The lot analysis said the chlorella was fine, but there was
no other possible source and she got a LOT of it in her (and got a lot
worse taking the chlorella).

Chlorella is especially bad for people with high "sulfur."

Chlorella does not in any way assist with or accelerate detox. There
is absolutely no benefit to using it, so there is no point in taking
the risk of it making you worse.

Seems to me that if one uses DMSA and
ALA per Andy's 3/4 hour protocol, that chlorella could actually
help.
