See book keywords and concepts |  Seaweeds, also called algae, are divided into four groups: Chlorophycea, or green algae; Phaeophy-cea, or brown algae; Rhodophyceae, or red algae; and Cyanophyceae, or blue-green algae. In a strict sense, the Cyanophyceae, some of the oldest organisms on earth, are bacteria and include spirulina and chlo-rella.
Among the seaweeds often used as foods in the U.S. are hijiki, kombu, wakame and arame, all brown seaweeds or algae. Wakame is used to make miso soup, among other things. The red seaweeds often used as foods include nori, agar or agar-agar and dulse. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The basic classification of the plant kingdom into divisions circumscribes the main groups of plants, including:
• Algae, including the green algae (Chlorophyta) and the red algae (Rhodophyta).
• Mosses (Bryophyta).
• Ferns (Pteridophyta).
• Seed-bearing plants (Spermatophyta).
As mentioned above, only a few algae, mosses and ferns have yielded pharmaceutically important products and will therefore only be discussed very cursorily. |

ž Blue-green algae. Unlike the other three varieties, these algae are microscopic — too small to see with the naked eye. Some kinds, though, grow together in huge clumps. You can find spirulina and chlorella in health food stores as pills or powders.

The algal plants or seaweeds are classified into four principal groups: the green algae or Chlorophyceae, the blue-green algae or Cyanophyceae, the brown algae or Phaeophyceae, and the red algae or Rodophyceae. The study of algae is called phycology. The brown and red algae are important commercially because of their polysaccharide content. These phyco-polysaccharides have broad applications in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as nutritional supplements. Agar and carrageenan are extracted from various types of red seaweeds, and algin is derived from brown seaweeds. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts |  Brown and red algae grow almost exclusively in seawater, whereas green algae also thrive in freshwater ponds and lakes.
The most commonly consumed seaweeds, which grow in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, are alaria, arame, hijiki, nori, dulse, and several kinds of kelp.
SEAWEED NUTRITION
Seaweed is a remarkable dietary staple for many reasons. No other type of food is as rich a source of the minerals essential to maintaining and improving one's health as seaweed. Collectively, seaweeds have all fifty-six minerals and trace minerals deemed necessary for the human body. |

When you fix your protein powder drink, add a powdered, nutrition-loaded "green drink" made from barley grass, green algae, or other chlorophyll-rich plant foods. The combination will provide plenty of protein and calories as well as lots of other nutrients and enzymes, nutritional sparks that power biochemical reactions in the body.
Dr. Lombardi favors the products Green Magma and Kyogreen. Mix 1 to 3 teaspoons with the protein powder. Then, there's one more ingredient to add to that breakfast mix. |

Bryostatins are chemicals called lactones that have been isolated from an ocean invertebrate called Bugula neritina. These three-inch-long primitive animals, also called sea mats or corallines, are little known because they have virtually no commercial use to humans. |

Fortunately, there have been small improvements. Forward thinking people have formed a "land care" organization to plant trees and practice more sustainable farming.

Patients have reported effects identical to the symptoms those on Prozac are reporting. It has been discovered that some of the algae has been grown in fluoridated water and have high concentrations of fluoride. This could be the connection.) Yet care should be taken that we not exchange a chemical stressor for an herbal stressor. Just as an example, guarana has a lot of caffeine in it and should be avoided. |

Vitamin A is healing to the skin as well, and preventive against infections. Another important nutrient is coenzyme Q10, which provides oxygen to the tissues, helping them to heal.
Herbs
There is an abundance of herbs that support the immune system before or during an outbreak. Echinacea, goldenseal, and chaparral are especially effective at stopping symptoms from worsening when they first begin to manifest. |

Health Benefits Chlorella is a superior source of assimilable chlorophyll, which helps cleanse and detoxify cells in the body. A clean, healthy cell can better utilize other nutrients. That is why chlorella relieves so many conditions. In addition, chlorella is one of the highest natural sources of DNA and RNA. |
Sheldon Saul Hendler and David Rorvik
See book keywords and concepts | | Higher plants and green algae, such as chlorella (see Chlorella) contain chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in the approximate ratio of 3:1. The molecular formula of chlorophyll a is CssHy^MgN^s; the molecular formula of chlorophyll b is CssHvoMgN^. The difference between the two chlorophylls is that a methyl side-chain in chlorophyll a is replaced by a formyl group in chlorophyll b. Chlorophyll a is found with chlorophyll c in many types of marine algae. Red algae contain principally chlorophyll a and also chlorophyll d.

Chlorella is a genus of unicellular green algae belonging to the Phylum Chlorophyta. Chlorophytes comprise a major component of the phytoplankton. Chlorella is a popular food supplement in Japan and is marketed as a nutritional supplement in the United States. Chlorella, along with wheat grass, barley grass and spirulina, are sometimes referred to as "green foods." There are several species of chlorella. Those most commonly used in nutritional supplements are Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella pyrenoidosa.
Chlorella is rich in protein. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Spirulina are blue-green bacteria (cyanobacteria) and chlorella are small green algae (chlorophyta). They are supposed to be diet aids, good for the skin, and general tonics and rejuvenators. There's nothing in the scientific literature to support the claims, save for one report which only notes that spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), the same substance that is being derived today, for the most part, from oil of evening primrose (see previous analysis). How good a source of GLA spirulina really is remains to be determined. |

Chlorella
Chlorella is a one-celled green algae food product that is highly nutritive. It contains high-quality protein (58 percent protein), vitamins (all the B vitamins plus vitamins C and E), minerals, including many important trace minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and mucopolysaccharides. Chlorella has been shown to improve immune function in people undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Chlorella increases macrophage activity, activates both T-cells and B-cells, and has shown antitumor effects. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Even though you should use these substances, too, in moderation, they are likely to be easier on your system than commercial salt:
• Sea salt—only 75 percent sodium chloride (the basic elements in table salt) and 25 percent trace minerals
Chlorella is a therapeutic green algae that's been in existence since the Pre-Cambrian period—almost 2.5 billion years. It consists of 60 percent protein, 20 percent carbohydrates, and contains unsaturated (good) fats. |
J. Robert Hatherill
See book keywords and concepts |  For example, green algae and brown algae show potent antioxidant activity, supporting the importance of eating whole foods.
Methyl Groups
A methyl group is a simple chemical mixture made up of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms. Methyl groups are needed for the repair and assembly of DNA and other vital cell components. Dietary supply from the methyl groups plays a crucial role in preventing cancer.
Dietary sources of methyl groups come from the amino acids methionine and choline and are found in foods such as: soy products, rice, peanuts, pecans, oatmeal, fish, meats, and egg yolks. |
