ADD/ADHD, Autism, and AFA Algae

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

I was able to call in to the algae conference call recently when Dr. John Taylor was the guest. Dr. Taylor is a leading authority on such conditions as ADD/ADHD, Nutrition, Brain Function, and Autism.

I learned that many toxic chemicals are implicated in disorders such as ADD/ADHD and Autism. For ADHD, lead contamination plays a significant role with other metals implicated as well. For Autism, it seems aluminum contamination is a major contributor.

People with Autism should avoid five categories of chemicals:

  • Metals, particularly aluminum
  • Petrochemicals
  • Phenols
  • Neurotoxins
  • Chemicals ending in -ite and -ate such as found in processed meats

These chemicals abound in our society from pesticides and insecticides, 6,000 food additives and preservatives, soaps, MSG, and artificial sweeteners (aspartame). To remove these chemicals, you must supply the body with three things: enzyme activity, chlorophyll, and sulfur containing amino acids. Properly harvested AFA algae is rich in all three and has been shown to aid in detoxifying these chemicals.

Metals such as aluminum and lead get into the brain and begin destroying brain cells through free radical damage. Sulfur containing amino acids changes these metals into salts and removes them.

The Truth AND The Consequences

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

The consequences of polluting our environment and of destroying the fertility of our soils to reap short term profits includes the tragedy of children with cancer and other degenerative diseases. At a time when they should be growing and developing, they are made to undergo the destruction we have built into the way we do things, the way we prefer material possessions above health, and the way we look at food.

A healthy body has the resources to regulate the functions of metabolism and to build strong, fully functional replacement cells for all tissues and organs. Health is a measure of your body’s ability to do all these things without mistake. The foundation for this health is the nutritional content we assimilate and deliver to our cells.

When encountering children suffering from cancer, you are looking at symptoms of dysfunction, symptoms of a fundamental metabolic mistake.

If, by one means or another, the cancer is “cured” and if the family has not addressed the underlying cause of environmental toxins and lack of nutrients in our diets, then the child has no foundation upon which to build recovery or to establish a lifetime of health.

To make a significant difference in health, you must begin by laying a solid foundation. You will not find the necessary abundance of nutrients in the foods at supermarkets. They are not grown in an environment enabling them to have a naturally balanced density of nutrients. Our agricultural practices are geared toward ship ability and shelf life.

To make a significant difference in your health, you must eat nutrient dense foods. These foods supply an abundance of naturally balanced nutrients in a form your body can easily get at, pass through the intestinal wall, and deliver to your cells.

In so far as I know, there is no food that can compare with the Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) blue-green alga sold by Simplexity Health. I am brand specific because only Simplexity Health harvests in such a way that preserves the heat sensitive nutrients. This AFA provides a naturally balanced, nutritional package – minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants – that closely matches what the human body needs.

Some foods may look like they are highly nutritious, but for one reason or another those nutrients are not available. Take, for example, a piece of beef. This should provide you with a lot of protein. Yet your body only gets 18% of that beef protein. AFA has about 60% protein by weight. Of that protein, your body uses 75%. The protein from AFA nearly matches the amino acid profile established by the Food and Nutrition Council. This means you can take that protein and begin using it without a lot of modifications.

When I first took some of this blue-green alga, every cell in my body stood before me declaring, “This is good for me.” This complete nourishment at a cellular level brings a resilience and a hope nothing else can. This nourishment is the birthright of every man, woman, and child, whether suffering degenerative conditions or not.

There are many things you can do about the nourishment you give your cells, one of which is to take Simplexity Health’s nutritional blue-green algae supplements. Other actions might include building your garden soil and growing a portion of your own vegetables, or seek out organic growers near you who make it a practice to produce nutrient dense vegetables. Perhaps you need to be doing all the above. The worst thing you can do is to remain passive about the foods you eat and feed your family.
