Here's a crazy question! Can Spirulina cause your body to detox? I think I read somewhere that it can. I'm a very big water drinker, but even still, I came down with an awful cold within a couple days of beginning the supplement. All is well and I'm feeling much better. I'm just curious. :)
Hi Jamie,
Yes, all the Green foods help detoxify! About 10 years ago I started taking Spirulina/AFA and boy did I go through a flu symptom type cleansing!! But after the three days of feeling ill, I was feeling great!! It really helped on many levels this particular cleansing. My body almost refused to eat sugary foods after this.
It was so odd!, but I was better for it. :)

Yeah! It's weird. I totally felt ill for the last 3 days. Dizzy even. And then this aftternoon I perked right back up and felt all better within about 3-4 hours! That's what got me thinking - hey! This is probably detox! Not a "real" cold/flu! I would much prefer this over the real thing. All to make me stronger.
Yes the mechanics behind the body are amazing. When the body has the tools that it needs, Perfect Health always follows. This is why Paths is so powerful, It gives the subconscious mind the tools it needs to create and manifest ones dreams. BUT your physical body must be taken care of, hence meditation, sleep, proper nutrition, extra amino acids(spirulina), etc. So the moral of this story is take care of your temple! Drink White Tea and Eat Tibetan Goji Berries, or better yet get on the Goji Berry Module!! LOL

I found another great benefeit of Spirulina! I have chronic pain and sleep issues, and so I take a few prescription medications for pain and sleep. But I am really wanting to wean off of these. My problem has been that whenever I go up or down in dosage, even if it's just a half of a dose, I get terrible headaches.
But now that I've been taking the spirulina, I have been able to take the meds down with no headaches! Amazing!

I posted this on the other PATHS site, but I'll post it here, too. I found AFA at Walmart for 4.88 for 90 capules. At the rate that I take them, (3 in the morning and three at night) I need two bottles a month, so for about 10 bucks a month, it's not bad. I'm getting about the same results that I did with the regular spirulina tablets, maybe better, but I notice that I seem to need more water with them. Anybody else on AFA?
Kari
Hi Suzannah,
I wanted to mention to you that Drinking a full glass of water with your Spirulina is also very important. Your body is over 70percent water. Just drinking a glass of water or two will get rid of any headaches that pop up for me. Drinking water is even more important if you are on medication no matter how light the dosage.
Kari, I am still laughing about your other post!!! Thank you!! :)))

I need some guidance on this whole spirulina and AFA stuff.
I have been taking Green Source from Vitamin World. It is a multi vitamin/mineral with spirulina (1000 mg./tab). I am concerned about have too much of the other vitamin/minerals as I strive to increase my intake of spirulina. Thoughts?
I also noticed while surfing that it seems I can get spiruling powder at a much cheaper price than tables and that 1t. of powder is 7G of spirulina while the tabs I am taking are only 1G. Seems like if I processing all of this correctly, starting the day with a tea. of spirulina powder in a smoothie would be the way to go and then just take the tabs maybe twice a day with my other supplements and meds...again, thoughts?
Now then what the heck is AFA and how is it different/similar to spirulina. I have read some but can't really tell which end is up.
I would like to make the suggestion that as part of the sign up process for PATHS you provide detailed spirulina information as well as the information regarding possible dosages and how you may be effected if you don't take it. I think this might avoid a good deal of confusion and frustration on the part of us newbies....just my two cents.
Kim
Ruth, thanks so much for the reminder about the water! Luckily, I am already a huge water drinker. That's all I drink, and I drink at at least a half-gallon a day. And I have been making sure to drink lots when I take the spirulina.
Another funny thing, I'm actually starting to LIKE the smell of spirulina. Bizarre!
Love and light to all!

Looks like good stuff!

Hi Kim,
The product from vitamin world is a multi with spirulina in it. I'd get spirulina by itself in tabs or caps.
Aaron
Thanks for the Aussie link Aaron , that's the way I'll be buying now......
Forever Grateful...
ok team...I've been taking around 6000mg of Spirulina for the past two weeks and I'm still feeling bogged down, mentally tired...how much is too much? I don't want to overdose on this stuff. :-)
I've been feeling fatigued, a bit grouchy etc. Had some really interesting breakthroughs on the first week, felt amazing on a number of days, like everything clicked for me and I was on 6000mg then too. Still sleeping all night, but past few mornings waking up feeling really tired, no dream memory, no bounce in my step and general 'dullness' in my noggin...are these signs I need to ramp up my spirulina/vitamin uptake? Thanks for your input.
NZ Chris :-)
Does anyone know of anywhere in Canada to get good quality Spirulina?
Karen
Hi Karen, I buy mine in Toronto, it's a Nu-Greens product. It's called spirulina gandale from Hawaii. 1000 mg tablets. I buy it at my local loblaws. Karen are you coming to Toronto on Saturday to see Abe and go out to dinner with Sharon and our T.O. group. Hope to see you. Ruth A.

Thanks Barb, yeah, the one I'm taking has magnesium stearate as a tableting agent which probably isn't helping my symptoms...
Yeah mine too NZ Chris,
I emailed the manufacturer and they took about 5 days to get back to me and their answers were so vague as to the properties of their brand of Spirulina I reckon there are all kinds of other stuff in there too, BUT I have started them so I have to finish them LOL!! Waste not, want not and all that kinda thing we have drilled into our subconcious from childhood but I only have about another 5 days of my so called Aussies to take so will go online tonight and order GENUINE Australian pure Spirulina.......
