Understanding & Facilitating the Healing & Regenerative Process

A Study by John Claydon D. Hom, Updated April 2005  

This article has been written in order to convey the simple, yet crucial information to enable people to regain their health, so that their body can repair itself, and hence overcome any health disorder that has developed since birth.

All diseases are curable but only the body knows how, the body gets ill, the body heals itself. No single remedy either natural or artificial can be relied on to cure any named disease in all persons. If a particular therapy, supplement or herbal treatment improves the overall balance and wellness of the person, then an improvement in health sets in.  This can often lead to an improvement, or even the disappearance of a particular disorder.

On the other hand, as is the thrust of this article, if we optimise the total integrity and functioning of our bodies, then any disease we suffer from, cannot survive the maximised healing power of our harmonious and invigorated system.

This is no new, radical idea, but has been understood since time immemorial; as Hypocrites famously said "Let food be your medicine and medicines your food".  Food medicines are the most powerful way of building health on a firm foundation, and the firm foundation is based upon the totality of the basic elements beneath our feet, the dust of the earth - "For man is built from clay" Old Testament. These basic elements are the 90 minerals and trace elements that make up the earth's crust. Once these are correctly established in the body, the journey to victory over disease and limitations to health and vitality can begin.

The proper and correct way to mineralise the body has not yet been grasped or understood by the lay public or by the nutritional experts, nor has its crucial role in underpinning and facilitating all forms of therapy, been adequately grasped.

As our soils become increasingly de-mineralised so do we. Therapies that would have worked 50 or even 10 years ago are becoming rapidly less effective as the degree of planetary and personal demineralisation increases, combined with the chemical pollution of our food and water. It is a race against time to understand and solve these problems, and remineralise the soil with very fine rock dust. In the intervening years the methods discussed in this article are a way to personally overcome, a largely man made problem.

The particular methods and suggestions in this article are vital information needed now, but do not represent the completed project I am engaged in to develop the best possible general therapeutic/nutritional regime to serve as the foundation for health regeneration. Research is continuing to make available all that we are missing from the perfect natural situation.  For example, reintroducing 'energy' back into the liquid foods and water discussed in the article, to improve the energetic functioning of the system, whilst improving both nutrient and water assimilation at cell level. 

Solving the Problem of Broad Spectrum Mineral and Trace Element Deficiencies

The typical reasons for engaging in natural therapies/taking nutritional supplements are as follows:

(1) To relieve a particular symptom or illness that is recent in origin. These are acute, e.g. sprained ankle or infectious episodes.

(2) To relieve a particular symptom or illness that is of longer duration. These are called chronic disorders such as arthritis, stomach ulcers etc.

(3) To bring the overall health up to a higher level. This would include nervous system enervation, and conditions that affect the general functioning and energy such as chronic fatigue syndrome or M.E.

(4) To raise the overall level of wellness and to achieve some reversal of the degenerative process, to proceed with the regeneration of the health on a fundamental basis.

(5) To act as a preventative of future illness/disease, such as regular infections, circulatory disorders associated with the elderly and other degenerative diseases.

When we hope to eliminate a particular symptom/disorder, sometimes a course of herbal/nutritional/superfood supplementation will do the job. However, if we raise the overall level of health with various measures and/or a broad-acting supplement such as a superfood (e.g. Spirulina, Chlorella, Wheat or Barley Grass or Pollen) and apply, if needed, a particular remedy, the chances of success are higher. 

In fact, we do not always need specific remedies to treat specific health problems. By raising the overall level of health, specific disorders often resolve themselves, and we have raised the health in a broader, more fundamental way. Given a full spectrum of nutrients, especially minerals and at least 20 trace elements, in our daily diet and water (there are 90 elements in the earth's crust, or in sea water from whence we evolved) and provided we have sufficient clean water daily¹, exercise and rest, the body has a wonderful ability to keep itself in tip top condition, and reverse any health problem that has developed since birth.

Unfortunately there is a gross deficiency of minerals and trace elements in our soils, and hence the crops and animals that the soil produces. This is mainly due to commercial farming methods. Even so-called organically grown food is usually deficient in minerals and trace elements, since unless rock dust or seaweed is added regularly to the soil there will be deficiencies. Several groups of people have been discovered who have regular full spectrum minerals/trace elements in their water and diet. This is due to glacial mountain streams. Minerals are freed from the earth's crust by the grinding action of slow moving glaciers across rocks. The melt water contains a good concentration of colloidal minerals/trace elements. This shows itself as milky or cloudy river water. The natives drink this water, and their crops are grown on a soil irrigated with it. The Hunza people of Pakistan are one example. There is almost no sickness or disease, and the chronic killer diseases are almost unknown. It is common to live over 120 years, and more importantly, at this age, there is great vitality and an ability to work hard all day.

So how do we obtain a full spectrum of minerals/trace elements and all the vitamins and other nutrients we need, on a daily basis to optimise our health? I believe that once this question is fully resolved then there will be a revolution in health care and regeneration. How can this be done conveniently, without excessive financial outlay, in a way that can be integrated into our current lifestyle? How can we optimise our nutrient intake without recourse to diagnosis, or regular trips to a practitioner? (At present, I believe, there is no single or even combination of diagnostic methods available to show exactly what we need, as individuals. However, in nature a full spectrum supply will be the basis upon which the body will regulate its nutrient balance). There are simple answers to these questions, but not yet in the form of a tablet or a capsule. Full spectrum mineral, trace elements and all the required vitamins and other essential nutrients, in the correct form and combination cannot yet be synthesised in any laboratory or industrial process. However, combinations of easily obtainable, natural products have been found to provide the answer.

The Answers

The bulk of the minerals and trace elements that enter into us are soluble, and some that are poorly soluble, are rendered so by digestive acids. In such a soluble state, mineral salts  form into two halves, one the 'cation' with a positive charge, and the other an 'anion' with a negative charge, and as such they are referred to as ionic or electrolyte minerals, that regulate and supply electrical charge, as well as a myriad of functions underpinning the internal ecology. It is only in this form that they are able to enter into your billions of cells. In a natural situation the juices of fruits and vegetables, and for carnivores, the blood of animals, serves as the major source of the soluble minerals/trace elements. In addition, river water supplies a not insignificant amount, in particular forms and combinations. Provided the soil from which these 'liquid' foods come from is flooded by mineral-rich rivers, or supplied by glacial melt rivers, there will be an adequacy of up to 90 minerals, (many in exceptionally small amounts, but nevertheless having a catalytic action).

Research in Norway with the growth and development of animals has scientifically proved that adding small amounts of a full spectrum of trace minerals (over 70 having been analysed in the test supplement used, derived from coal from ancient  forest), showed that the bulk minerals and other nutrition from food is far better absorbed to create healthy well developed animals, on what otherwise would have been a deficient diet, even though the major minerals such as calcium were still inadequate in conventional terms. Since our food, even most organic food, is trace element deficient, we cannot obtain the full benefits of the food we eat and drink. This would partly explain why persons consuming a diet seemingly high in major minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium exhibit deficiency symptoms of the same. (Recent research with negatively charged hydrogen ions in 'Hunza-type' water, strongly suggests this improves nutrient assimilation).

Nutritional ‘experts’ repeatedly state that we need certain amounts and relative amounts of for example calcium and magnesium and other minerals; yet fail to take into account the role of the trace and ultra trace minerals in the equation. This is a reminder that if we look at things in isolation we end up with partial truths. 

Simple And Effective Measures We Can Take To Remineralise

(1) Crude Black Molasses or Blackstrap Molasses

This is made from sugar cane (Meridian Foods supply a 1lb jar, available in many health shops, if organic is not on the shelves, request they order some, but in the short term use what you can get). The roots of the sugar cane grow as deep as 15 feet and are able to receive a broad spectrum of minerals and trace elements normally lacking in the top soils. The bulk of the sugar is removed, leaving behind the exceptionally rich mineral/trace element cocktail, with a good selection of vitamins. The book “Crude Black Molasses” by Cyril Scott published by Benedict Lust Publications is highly recommended reading (available from Regenerative Nutrition). This is one of those once in a lifetime gems of a book.  One teaspoon in a cup of warm water before each meal (three times a day) has astounding health benefits. Personally, I take it at any convenient time and feel it works best on an empty stomach. Do not expect good results on only one cup a day; quantity and persistent regularity is all important. Persons who cannot stand the taste may find it easier to swallow a teaspoonful amount straight from the spoon and wash down with hot water or a hot drink.

Many people have overcome all sorts of serious, seemingly intractable health problems with molasses drinks alone!  This includes cases of various types of Cancer, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Strokes, poor nervous system, skin disorders, bowel and digestive disorders; the list goes on and on. This is not at all incredible if you have taken on board that acquired disease cannot exist in a body that receives the correct nutrition. If you find you cannot stomach a full teaspoon of molasses at first, then use smaller amounts, but several times over the day, or sip over a period of time. There are many people who would seemingly remain ill even to a premature death than drink something they don't like the taste of. Are you one of these?

An alternative to molasses, for those of you, who for one reason or another do not like the idea of the sugar content, is goat’s mineral whey powder, available as a product called Capra Mineral Whey. Two dessertspoons daily will provide a good source of food state mineral electrolytes, and is extremely well tolerated.

(2) Grape Juice (red is best)

Drink one glass a day; it works much better on an empty stomach, so first thing in the morning is best, see the article the Grape Cure. Ordinary grape juice in 1 litre bottles or cartons available commonly in the shops has achieved good success. It is not organic, but the sprays used in the vineyards are not as toxic as those used on our grain or vegetable crops. Depending on the soil it is grown on, it will have deficiencies in trace minerals, but will have a wealth of the major minerals in a highly assailable form, and being of a different profile to molasses, would be a suitable adjunct.  Living juices, i.e. raw and extracted at home with a juicer such as a Green Star juicer (Twin gear type juicers are the best, rather than single gear or centrifugal), will give better results as they contain live enzymes that shop bought grape juice does not have.   See details in the article General Dietary Guide for Optimising Health and Overcoming Disease.  All juices in cartons, even if ‘pure’ have been sterilised to lack ‘living’ enzymes.

(3) Sea Water

From whence we came, or our cells at least. Life is thought to have evolved in the sea, as the first microorganisms evolved into single celled life forms, taking in the 90 minerals and trace elements ever present around them. Then groups of cells got together to act cooperatively. Cells took on specialised roles and higher life forms developed eventually leading to humans. We carry approximately 22 pints of 'sea-water' around with us (3 times as much as blood), in the form of extra cellular fluid, bathing our billions of cells. The ionic mineral composition of this fluid is almost identical to that of seawater, except sadly lacking in some of the trace elements. Taking one or two teaspoons a day of an Inland Sea Water Concentrate (pollution free) diluted in water has many health benefits and aids the integration of herbal and superfood therapy; benefits that are not available by any other method presently found. For more discussion on this read The Essential Health Benefits of Sea Water.  The ionic mineral and trace element profile is opposite and complementary to food state ionic minerals, such as grape juice or molasses, so to obtain a complete balance, this is highly recommended. Furthermore, seawater is the only guaranteed source of ionic minerals that contain all the trace elements. For individuals of low vitality, mixing the seawater with molasses or fruit drinks, has a deeper effect, and sooner or later will pull the chi too low, so the advice is to take concentrated seawater drinks at least an hour apart from molasses or fruit drinks. Since my chi or vital force has been stronger, I am now able to take both together.

Many have a special need for supplementation daily of the particular mineral profile in seawater, but it may prove to be universally helpful, to a greater or lesser degree. Dr. F. Batmanghelidj has concluded that many health disorders are due mainly to chronic dehydration, and in fact most of us are chronically dehydrated which contributes to aging, as our cells and our DNA spirals dehydrate, we deteriorate. He also concluded that as part and parcel of the rehydration process we need about half a teaspoon of salt daily, if we are not obtaining a fair amount from other sources. He goes on to explain that the body retains salt when it is chronically dehydrated to help force fluid into the cells; this involves some rise of blood pressure. The body prioritises its needs; salt is not causing the high blood pressure, it is dehydration! Many health disorders can clear up with increasing the water drunk and salt consumed. A classic example of this is Asthma; Batmanghelidij suggests that most cases of asthma will disappear with this method.

The mineral composition of sea salt is considerably inferior to seawater, since the sodium chloride crystallises out of solution first and the other minerals are largely washed away, before evaporation takes place. For example, sea salt is typically 97 to 99.5% sodium chloride with a magnesium content from 0.04 to 0.005%. Sea water (mineral proportions) contains typically 86% sodium chloride and 4% magnesium along with smaller amounts of all the minerals/trace elements released from the earth's crust (90 in total)  So the composition of sea salt is very different to that of sea water. Even Dr. Batmanghelidj talks about the ocean surrounding our cells, but fails to realise the superiority of supplemental seawater to sodium chloride. The best sea salt I have encountered is Celtic Sea Salt. This unique salt contains about ten times as many trace minerals plus magnesium as a typical sea salt, relative to the sodium Chloride. It therapeutic effects have been studied for many years by Professor Jacques de Langre Ph.D. and his book “Sea Salts Hidden Powers” is highly recommended (available from Regenerative Nutrition). Seawater contains four times the trace minerals and magnesium relative to the sodium chloride, and as such is the most balanced product, but the Celtic Sea Salt is a cheaper option, especially for the whole family added to food. It improves the taste of food quite considerably. The Seawater concentrate is used more ‘medicinally’ by mixing with a glass of water.

These three measures are probably the best advice on nutrition you will ever read, and should form the foundation of any health regime; so before you go to any therapist, or start any other remedy, start this program first. I have met many patients who simply cannot get well, in fact become worse when given the best-selected herbs, nutritional supplements or superfoods. They often go from therapist to therapist, and usually take a whole cocktail of natural remedies, still failing to get well. The reason is simple: unless the basic rehydration and nutritional foundation is established, the effect of stimulating the system with new energies and or specific remedies, will be to destabilise the system further, the more potent the remedy, the more powerful the therapy, the greater will be the 'trauma' applied. (You would not ask a person without legs to walk, and no amount of encouragement will succeed). The types of person who will experience these problems are in my experience, those with a weak nervous system (with or without being labeled as neurasthenic), some types of M.E. also delicate cases and those of a weak constitution. Conversely, the strong constitutional types can usually take comparatively large doses of herbs and superfoods and do well on them.

It should be noted that herbal therapy developed before modern farming methods, and although soils had various types of mineral/trace element deficiencies at various locales, there was not such a degree or diversity of mineral soil depletion. So it was generally in this situation, of strong 'peasant stock', that herbalism evolved in the four continents of the globe. The Chinese herbalists realised that the best herbs for long term use for raising the overall health (rather than first aid measures), were the herbs most closely resembling foods.  Today much scientific research¹ has revealed the dynamic power of the superfoods such as Pollen, Chlorella and Barley Grass Juice Powder. These are like herbs in the fact they contain potent phyto-nutrients, or phytoseuticals as they are now being labeled, synergistically combined with a very concentrated mix of virtually every known (and unknown?) vitamin, mineral and trace element. However, since they are very stimulating and detoxifying (except for Barley Grass Juice Powder), whilst not supplying a sufficiently large volume of soluble minerals/trace elements, the three liquid mineral/trace element foundation drinks are still required. The important point to note, without getting bogged down with a wealth of information about their wonderful potential health benefits, is that they are stimulating, in a sense, like the best total vitamin supplement, that cannot yet be synthesised artificially, and that they are complementary opposite, in all practical senses (from an energetic standpoint) to ionic mineralisation, e.g. the three drinks described.

Colloidal Minerals

These seem to be the most misunderstood minerals around! There is plenty of false information circulating about them. First, colloidal minerals are not able to be taken inside the cell and are not the main form of minerals found in food, (ionic or electrolytes are). They would poison us if they were absorbed into the cells since they contain large proportions of aluminum. They are not electrolyte minerals. They are not organic; organic means that which is bound to carbon, and in practice, this means bound to protein i.e. chelated minerals as found in foods. If there is no protein or carbon in the colloids, they are not organic.  

There is virtually no scientific study of the role of colloidal minerals in the human ecology. However, if we look to nature, we see that the milky mineral rich streams that keep the Hunza people so incredibly healthy and long-lived, are full of mainly colloidal minerals. These are ground up rocks, the particles are exceptionally fine, and can remain in suspension. In this situation, a type of electrical charge is present, (according to researchers including Patrick Flanagan M.D. the inventor of Microhydrin) which has been described as 'zeta' potential. Patrick Flanagan along with other researchers believe that it is the amount of negative charge attached to mineral colloids in the regular drinking water of a population, that helps promote longevity and health. The health of the Hunza people is directly due to drinking this water, and to absorbing the ionic minerals from the food they eat, which is grown on the soil fed by glacial melt water. Colloidal minerals caused by glaciation and weathering, are abundant; they are not confined to glacial melt streams. The ice age has left vast amounts of full spectrum colloidal minerals under our very feet - it is Clay!² Clay contains (varying to some extent on the type of rocks involved in its origin), a balance of minerals representing that which is contained in the earth's crust, the most plentiful mineral being silica. Clay has a history of use by animals and humans in healing over thousands of years, in the past vegetables with soil still clinging (soil contains varying amounts of clay with the organic humus) all went into the pot.

The effects and qualities of action of Clay in suspension elucidated to date include, detoxification soon after the first dose, without causing any stress to the nervous system probably due to a releasing action, e.g. head cold, congested lungs, production of phlegm etc, a rapid improvement in the fluid cycle, i.e. increase in desire for water, increased urination, relief of 'trapped' energy, initially encouraging sleep, (and supporting  good quality sleep in the long run) and later improving stamina.  Example symptoms would include mild, fleeting arthritic aches and stiffness, (presumably related to the overall picture of remineralisation, especially constellated around silica), aches in inefficient or toxic organs e.g. mild kidney ache, (not an overloading of the kidneys, but a healing reaction setting in only a few days after the milligram doses were commenced). Clay has the ability to rapidly locate toxic sites and draw out the toxins that have not been eliminated with the prior use of superfoods. The experience of clay is quite remarkable, as its effects are so distinctive. Its historical use as a cleanser employs typically one teaspoon in a glass of water twice daily, taken for two weeks on, one week off. So using this method one would consume nearly half a pound in a two-week period. Using small amounts of Clay, as one would obtain naturally, from a rapid river or stream after a period of intense rain, would give a cloudy appearance to water. The amount of clay thus consumed is a fraction of that consumed by the traditional method of internal clay therapy.

As regards the ongoing discussion about the possible problem of aluminum in colloidal mineral products, aluminum is the third most plentiful element in the earth's crust and the soil. It is common in foods, one large potato contains 20 milligrams of aluminum. In chemistry, toxicity is all about the form elements are in. Soluble forms of aluminum are toxic e.g. aluminum sulphate. Common salt, is sodium and chlorine bound together to form sodium chloride; split them apart and a deadly green gas, used in the trenches, of the First World War called chlorine is released, and a soft metal that catches fire when placed in water!

Another form of rock dust used therapeutically is a softer rock dust than clay, and has ‘paramagnetic’ properties (increases the earth's local magnetic field, but not having a magnetic field of its own).  This is a type of volcanic rock and is mined in Austria. Originally called  Schindles’s minerals (after Robert Schindele who discovered its therapeutic use), it is also known as Superbiomin. This rock dust is taken as one teaspoon in a glass of water once or twice daily. It is less cleansing that clay, but better at remineralising as it is more nutritional. It is interesting to note that volcanic rock dust is the best type of rock dust to stimulate and sustain healthy plant growth. There  are many amazing health recovery stories of persons taking the Superbiomin, The book “Superbiomin” by Robert Schindele is worth reading published by Ennsthaler ISBN 3 85068 285 4 (Available from Regenerative Nutrition).

It is interesting to note in the old homeopathic books the references to silica and its relationship to nutrition/malnutrition. It is the element that aids nutrition, and builds up the endurance and the strength of the constitution (silica is plentiful in soluble/ionic form in molasses, and available in concentrated form in a supplement known as Organic Silicon G5). I cannot help feeling that silica is a kind of 'mother' element around which the others interplay in the ecology of the body, since as in the earth, as in the body. The reason this is not so obvious is that silica is regarded as a minor trace element, and not required in any quantity like the major minerals of calcium, magnesium, etc. However, it is not all about quantity. Minerals have a strong vibrational output - they appear to work homeopathically. If we drink from a healthy wild river (when was the last time you did that?) there will be some clay/colloid particles in there, especially if the river is in flood. 

So we are reminded to study nature, and provide ourselves with what we are missing from nature as much as we can. Sometimes we need to fall back on extracts as living indoors and in northern latitude, we do not obtain enough sunlight to produce sufficient vitamin D for our well-being. Vitamin D can increase the absorption of calcium and other minerals to a lesser extent in quite a dramatic way. Supplementing with a natural form of vitamin D e.g. extracted from fish is therefore an important part of a nutritional programme.

Overall, I believe the matters discussed concerning mineral therapy are a vast improvement on any SYSTEM involving diagnosis and prescription of individual or groups of minerals/trace elements. However, some individuals will benefit from increased quantities specifically of the trace minerals typically Zinc, Selenium, and Chromium. These are available as Food State Supplements, in a pre-digested yeast base and are very well tolerated.  More recently the tremendous benefits of Boron have come to my attention, please see the article The Wonder of Boron. We supply Boron added to our Capra Mineral Whey with Vitamin D.                    

Why Do We Suffer from Chronic Health Disorders?

Apart from the deficiencies discussed, the reasons for chronic illness have a history, from a hereditary standpoint, as manifested in genetic weakness and predisposition (this is in turn due to diseases and deficiencies of our forebears) and our personal history from birth. Our current health status is rather like our bank account, it has a history of our transactions.  Health status is built in layers as we grow up.  A weak or toxic organ will produce toxic settlements, and tissue enervation in the body, a fever suppressed, leaves an unfinished situation, a period of overwork and stress combined with suppressive drugs, faulty cooking methods, (Cooking leads to chronic enzyme depletion, one of the major factors in diseases of aging), ongoing poor mineralisation, all contribute in their own way to a gradual deterioration of our constitution, health reserves and so on. This can be readily understood through the subject of iridology. The iris of the eye displays a map of the entire internal structure of the body. Various features such as dark lines and cloudy/stained areas have been found to be indicative of tissue health status. In the hands of a skilled iridologist, the eye can reveal accurate information about the past, present and future possibilities of health, as a person ages, tissue damage and toxicity increases. After a radical health regime, the iris of the eye gradually returns to a former healthier state.  Provided a complete nutrient-rich regime is adhered to and other necessary measures are taken, regeneration of health will occur.

Engaging in such a radical health reform, will not bring optimum health overnight, it is a reversing process that at times will bring layers of past ill health to the surface, so some old symptoms often long forgotten return, but usually only briefly. There will be times when toxins and catarrh held in tissues will be released into the circulation, prior to elimination, and this will give rise to periodic symptoms of un-wellness, such as nausea, lightheadedness, feeling 'spaced' and fatigued. Symptoms will vary, depending on the person. If these episodes are fairly marked, they are labeled a healing crisis. It is important to be able to recognise the difference between a healing crisis and loss of balance or homeostasis. A healing crisis of varying degrees will occur after a period of feeling better than normal. In general, the healing/regenerative process includes feeling better mentally and emotionally with an improved quality of sleep. There is often a felt need to rest or sleep more, since this is needed for the regenerative process; however once one has slept, energy and motivation is generally above normal.

Feeling better mentally and physically, with changing physical symptoms, often with increased bowel activity, are classic signs that a healing process is underway. There is always an emotional and mental component to any significant healing process, and at times, this can be quite a dominant part of the experience of change. As mentioned earlier, if you have a weak nervous system, or suffer from generalised poor function/fatigue, the nervous system must heal first before any progress is achieved.  One can take herbs and the best quality superfoods till the cows come home and not improve one iota until the nervous system is healing. As indicated, this will be apparent by generally feeling better emotionally and mentally (but not all the time) and better quality/more refreshing sleep. Taking herbs and superfoods at the same time, or unnatural, unbalanced nutritional supplements all multiply together to create a stimulation of the nervous system that prevents quality rest and repair. If we have not followed the mineralisation requirements discussed in this article (See also The Core Regime, for a discussion of putting together your nutritional supplement programme).

The only safe herbs for the delicate/nervous type are the calming ones such as passiflora, hops, valerian and Reishi, this is, I believe, from personal experience and from seeing its effect on others, the best ‘herb’ for the nervous system (it also balances the immune system, please see article Reishi Mushroom the Marvelous Herb. However if other stimulating remedies are added to these calming herbs they will no longer work as nervine calmatives. If the molasses and sea water drinks are not taken for some time first, (a few weeks), the nervous/delicate types can still benefit from superfoods, but the dose is very low, usually in the region of one capsule or tablet (200-300 mgs.) daily either in divided doses or am only.  At the other end of the scale is the robust constitutional type, who will often do well on large doses of superfoods.

I have read the books on Chlorella and Spirulina (especially Hawaiian Spirulina) and taken both at different times. I feel that they are both wonderful substances that have their own sphere of action, backed up by lots of scientific investigation and clinical monitoring. However the law in this country states that no medical claims can be made for any substance by a supplier of that particular product if it is not licensed as a medicine. The expense of such licensing is very high, and since natural foods cannot be patented, the money could not be recouped. Only the large drug companies can afford this, with chemical derivatives that can be patented. So this law suppresses public education on vital health matters, and keeps the natural remedies out of the health service. Are we living in a sane world, or one driven by big 'bucks'?

For the last two years I have replaced Chlorella with Barley Grass Juice Powder an alternative to chlorella or Spirulina as a green food with an abundance of chlorophyll. I also recommend this to most of our clients in combination with Zell-Oxygen or Live Cell Oxygen Immunocomplex Immunocomplex. This is because larger amounts of Barley Grass can be taken at a similar cost, hence providing more minerals trace elements and in fact all vitamins and many other protective factors. It is not as stimulating as chlorella, so it can be used on all individuals and combined with Zell-Oxygen or Live Cell Oxygen Immunocomplex Immunocomplex without creating over-stimulation. The combination of these two remedies is proving extremely effective in health restoration. I have learnt about these and continued to see excellent results over the last few y
