For centuries, civilizations
have understood the value of green food such as Spirulina
and Chlorella, and cereal grasses such as Wheat and
Barley. Now, in the early twenty-first century, scientists
are rediscovering the benefits of these Green Super Foods,
which respectively contain the highest levels of easily
digestible vegetable proteins, amino acids, beta carotene,
mixed carotenoids, vitamin B-12, iron, trace minerals, the
essential fatty acids GLA and linoleic acid, phycocyanin,
polysaccharides, chlorophyll and sulfolipids.
In the Greek language, the
word “Phyto” means plant. Phytonutrients are the "raw
material" nature provides for your body to cure itself.
Derived from living things, primarily plants, phytonutrients
are a combination of naturally occurring phytochemicals,
vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and enzymes. Also known
as Super Green Foods or Green Super Foods.
Phytonutrients
provide the synergistic combination of all of natures raw
materials for healing the body - not just isolated and artificially
created products.
Astounding success in the
reversal of chronic degenerative diseases has been experienced
through the application of a mainly vegetarian diet of living
foods consisting of Spirulina, Chlorella, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, sprouts, fruit, vegetables, and
sprouted or fermented grains, seeds and nuts.
Dr. Norman Walker, a centenarian
health researcher, lived primarily on fruit and vegetables
for over 60 years. He felt his longevity was due in large
part to the liquid oxygen, enzymes and chlorophyll contained
in fresh juices.
Chlorophyll is the "blood"
of all plant life. It is the protein in plant life and closely
resembles the molecules of human red blood cells. Chlorophyll
has been compared to hemoglobin molecules, the oxygen carrier
in human blood, and shown to be almost identical. By taking
a percentage of Green foods and juices every day, you add
vital nutrients such as minerals, enzymes, vitamins, oxygen,
and protein to your blood.
What
is the importance of chlorophyll's resemblance to human
blood?
- Chlorophyll and hemoglobin are so much alike in atom structure
it allows it to be absorbed quickly and begin to rebuild
the blood stream.
- Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life and the first product
of light. It contains more light energy than any other
element.
- Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them
on wheat grass to restore fertility. (The high
magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that
restore the sex hormones.)
- Studies of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of
any toxic reaction.
- Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside
the body as a healer.
- Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
- Chlorophyll purifies the liver and neutralizes toxins in the body.
- Chlorophyll improves blood sugar challenges (Hypoglacemia)
In the American Journal of
Surgery (1940), Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends
chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests
the following clinical uses for chlorophyll: To clear up
foul smelling odoors, neutralize strep infections, heal
wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome
chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, reduce varicose
veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other
scabby eruptions, successfully treat inflammation of the
uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic infections, reduce
typhoid fever…
George S. Bailey, Ph.D.
- "Chlorophyll” may play
an important role in prevention of certain cancers. Researchers
in the early 1980s discovered that chlorophylls and related
chemicals can inhibit the ability of certain DNA-damaging
chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. Molecular geneticists
now know that most if not all human cancers carry mutations
in one or more genes that control the rates at which individual
cells divide, differentiate, or die.
According to current thinking,
various combinations of mutations that upset this delicate
balance to favour uncontrolled cell growth can then enable
this irreversibly damaged cell to form a primary cancer
in the lung, liver, blood, bone, skin, or another body organ.
Therefore, it seems at least theoretically possible that
the anti-mutagenic power of the chlorophylls might allow
them to inhibit and reduce the formation of cancers in humans.
Recent progress in our laboratory and elsewhere has brought
this promise closer to realization."
According to Dr. Birscher,
nature uses chlorophyll as a body cleanser, re-builder and
neutralizer of toxins. Tooth decay is the result of other
degenerative changes in the body. " A small amount
of wheat grass in the human diet helps prevent tooth decay.”
Pollution, processed and
cooked foods have destroyed many of our digestive enzymes,
which now can be supplemented by juicing, while at the same
time providing concentrated selenium, which helps eliminate
toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic.
Why do we need “Super Green Food?”
Greens are our most important
food, because they provide us with all of the essential
components of health. They are our food, as well as our
medicine. Where green plants cannot grow, we cannot live.
