chlorella's characteristic of absorbing toxic substances

quote: "This characteristic of absorbing toxic substances from its surroundings and eliminating them from the body is an extremely important discovery. These toxins such as heavy metals, radio active materials, hydrocarbon pesticides and insecticides may be found in our water, air, and food chain. This in turn creates diseases, including cancers, allergies, skin problems, neurological disorders, etc. Chlorella, a natural substance, has the characteristics to treat these toxin related problems."

"At the Department of the Immunology, Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University, Japan, Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF, a hot water extract of chlorella that contains nucleic acid derivatives, amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, etc.) was injected into mice that were then inoculated with cancer cells. It showed that the CGF stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (a type of white blood cell) to attack the cancer cells, prolonging the lives of the mice as compared to the controlled group of mice that had not received CGF."

"Chlorella neutralizes the acidic body into slightly alkaline. According to the research of a Japanese doctor, consuming meats and rich foods, stress and pollution cause the body to become acidic, thus allowing diseases to occur. When a human body ages, it fails to retain water, potassium, and sodium as efficiently as before, therefore causing the body to become acidic also. Taking chlorella can neutralize the body to a slightly alkaline form, because chlorella is known as the most alkaline food and has the ability to balance the pH of the body. He advised his patients to use chlorella as an anti aging food as well as to treat many different diseases."
