St. Patrick's Day- Go GREEN!

Today's post is about Liquid Chlorophyll. While many will be pounding down pints of green lager today, what the Fighting Irish should be drinking is something that has been proven to Fight Cancer, a universal enemy among every single demographic and nationality of mankind.

Today at my desk, I am drinking glasses of liquid chlorophyll in my water. Just a tablespoon diluted turns my glass a lovely spearmint green color, and the water has a very pleasant and cooling taste.

WHY?

*It's an antioxidant, meaning it fights free radicals that make you age and look old.
*It's a cancer preventative, and has been tested in labs to fight cancer.
*It's a natural deodorant.....yes, it fights body odor.
*It heals scars, infections and as it's just about allergy season you'll be happy to know that chlorophyll has been proven to help relieve sinus problems. Need tissues for your hayfever issues? Mmm hmmm, go Green!
*It's alkaline, so it helps to ph balance your system if you eat acidic foods such as sugar, meats, fried foods or alcohol. YAY, No More Heartburn!
*It's the magic potion found in leafy green vegetables.

CHLOROPHYLL

(Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin)

DESCRIPTION : Chlorophyll is a ubiquitous green plant pigment that supports the process of converting solar energy and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is stabilized chlorophyll.

BIOCHEMISTRY : Chlorophyll is a network of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogenand oxygen atoms surrounding a single magnesium atom. (The blood pigment hemoglobin has an iron atom in place of the magnesium.) Chlorophyll may be an antioxidant. It is capable of electron transfer, and has been studied for use in biological solar electricity production. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is produced by replacing the magnesium atom with copper and sodium.

PHYSIOLOGY: Chlorophyll has strong antibacterial action, and clears up odors of putrefaction effectively. It has been used in surgery, in ulcerative carcinoma, in head colds, acute rhinitis and rhinosinusitis, and chronic ear infections and inflammations. It has also been used for Diabetic leg ulcers, contagious impetigo (a scabby, pustular skin eruption), rectal sores, vaginitis, and infection of the uterine cervix. Another doctor used it effectively for pyorrhea. Chlorophyllin is a derivative of chlorophyll. It was shown to be a potent, dose-responsive inhibitor of aflatoxin B-1 DNA adduction and cancer formation in rainbow trout liver. Inhibition of up to 77% occurred at chlorophyllin levels well within the chlorophyll content of some leafy green vegetables. The authors conclude that the finding 'may have important implications in intervention and dietary management of human cancer risks.'

INDICATIONS : Odors, infections, sores and inflammations, gum disease, cancers.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 100 mg to 200 mg of chlorophyll or chlorophyllin per day.

Why? That's why!

Go get some :)

God bless St. Patrick and all things green.
