			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>by Bob McCauley, CNC, MH</p>
<p>The reason that eating animal protein is one of the worst things for our health is simple. Let&#8217;s first establish that everyone always cooks their animal protein.  Rarely does anyone eat raw meat, fish, eggs or dairy, although there is a strong movement to consume raw dairy, in particular raw goat’s milk.   I am not against eating raw animal protein, but it certainly is not necessary for us to consume it if we wish to be healthy.  Eating raw animal protein is known as Paleo Diet.</p>
<p>The problem with animal protein is that it is a pre-formed protein chain of amino acids that are then brought to high temperatures during the cooking process.  The higher the temperature and the longer the animal protein is cooked at these temperatures, the more harmful the animal protein becomes to our health.  Although it is not desirable, exposing plant proteins (unstructured amino acids) to high temperatures does not have the same deleterious effects on our health.  A Harvard study showed that the consumption of red meat has been linked to the increased risk of Type II diabetes.<a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Downloads/Blog%20Why%20Meat%20Kills.docx#_edn1">[1]</a></p>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote><p>“Regular consumption of red meat, especially processed, is associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. The findings are important given the rising epidemic of diabetes and the increasing consumption of red meat.” - <em>Frank B. Hu, MD, PhD</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I always suspected this about protein structures and it was confirmed to me in a book called  Heal With Amino Acids and Nutrients.<a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Downloads/Blog%20Why%20Meat%20Kills.docx#_edn2">[2]</a></p>
</div>
<p>I was reading the book in my studies to become a Certified Nutritional Consultant, and there it was in black and white, exactly what I had always suspected and that is that cooked, pre-formed protein structures become chemically scrambled and many of the peptide bonds that link the amino acids together are completely destroyed.  This turns the protein structure into mush, unrecognizable and therefore unusable by the body.  The more it is cooked, the more dangerous it becomes.  Cooking animal protein at extremely high temperature also creates plastic-like substances (polymers) call acrylamides, which of course are toxic, extremely unhealthy and therefore do not belong in the body.</p>
<p>The same problem would not occur if plant protein is cooked, although I certainly would not recommend it if it can be avoided.  If you want to consume meat, fish, eggs or dairy, do so with the realization that you are consuming them strictly for the taste of it, not for the nutrition.  A smaller handful of Spirulina and/or Chlorella will provide your body with all the nutrition it needs.</p>
<p>Nothing causes more disease than eating cooked animal protein other than people don&#8217;t keep themselves properly hydrated, meaning they simply do not drink enough water, and/or they don&#8217;t drink the right kind of water.  The right water is ionized water, spring water, mineral water or well-filtered tap water.  Distilled and reverse osmosis is NOT the right kind of water we should consume.</p>
<p>My effort, as always, is to educate people about health, and not to suggest that we make people stop eating animal protein.  I don’t care what people eat &#8211; it’s none of my business.  However I do offer some advice to those who want to listen, and that is to limit, if not entirely eliminate, animal protein of all kinds from your diet if your desire is to be healthy.  If you replace animal with algae, Spirulina and Chlorella, you will do an about face and quickly start moving closer to that goal.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions we are asked about Chlorella is whether it has vitamin K.  For the record, Chlorella does have vitamin K in it, as do all green plants to some degree.  Vitamin K is found in a plethora of foods.  Chlorella has a lot of vitamin K, 46mg per 1 gram.  The body requires vitamin K for a number of reasons.  It is an antagonist for arterial calcification in humans.

<p>One of the most common questions we are asked about <a href="http://watershed.net/chlorella_education/">Chlorella</a> is whether it has vitamin K.  For the record, Chlorella does have vitamin K in it, as do all green plants to some degree.  <a href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000104000000000000000-1.html?">Vitamin K is found in a plethora of foods</a>.  Chlorella has a lot of vitamin K, 46mg per 1 gram.  The body requires vitamin K for a number of reasons.  It is an antagonist for arterial calcification in humans.   A ten-year study documented that people who consumed the most vitamin K2 have a 50% reduced risk of arterial calcification. They also exhibited a 50% reduction for being at risk for cardiovascular events during the 10 year period of the study.  In 2009, a 16,000-person study demonstrated that high consumption of vitamin K2, not K1, protected from cardiovascular disease.   Vitamin K also helps with calcium assimilation and retention in the bones and throughout the body.  It helps prevent osteoarthritis and is essential for the production of skin cells.</p>
<p>The main function of vitamin K is that is allows the blood to coagulate so we do not bleed to death when we get cut.  Newborn babies are given a shot of vitamin K when they are born for this reason, although I believe them to be unnecessary if my health protocol would be followed for the mother through pregnancy.   And it is for this reason that people are prescribed the drug <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000634">Coumadin</a>, which is said to prevent strokes, heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, blood clots to the lungs, and other circulatory disorders.  Doctors prescribe Coumadin to shift the balance away from clot formation in the body and toward increased circulation.  It is a blood thinner that<em> causes an imbalance in the body, as do all medications which is why they all have side effects. </em>The normal functions of the body and the way it handles vitamin K becomes a major issue because Coumadin causes imbalances.  Under normal circumstances, the body handles vitamin K quite well.  However, once an artificial substance such as Coumadin is introduced, one of the most important nutrients required by the body must be avoided, that of <strong>chlorophyll, </strong>the life-blood of plants.  Avoiding foods with Vitamin K means avoiding foods with chlorophyll, which is insanity.</p>
<p>Coumadin thins the blood and guards against blood clots that can lead to a stroke.  Since Coumadin does what it is designed to do, it is blindly accepted by the medical community as well as anyone who believes in medicine and the drugs that doctors push on us.   We are force fed the notion we should take drugs and that medicine is the only answer, which in fact is the exact opposite of the desired outcome.  Drugs create imbalances in the body that in turn no longer allow us to consume other foods that may interfere with it, even those such as Chlorella that encourage sugar level stability and blood consistency.   Hypertension, or thin blood, is the most common of all diseases.  All drugs interfere with the body&#8217;s natural processes and Coumadin is a glaring example of it.  Dr. Bernard Jensen, the Father of Nutrition, warned against taking Coumadin in the 1970&#8242;s when it was first marketed.</p>
<p>I personally know almost nothing about medicine and medications so I cannot make a recommendation to you about whether you should take medicine that has been proscribed to you by a doctor.  That is your decision.  However, what I do understand is health, which has nothing to do with medicine.  And I can say without any doubt that I would never put anything in my body that would stop me from consuming foods whose nutrients are required by the body if we expect to be healthy, such as those with chlorophyll.  This of course would include the most powerful food on earth, Chlorella.  Chlorella gets its name for being the food with the highest concentration of chlorophyll, our most important nutrient.  Caution to those who would take anything that would deny the body that key nutrient.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Young's words are in italics. "Meat has no nutritional value other than to just destroy you life." "[Eating meat is] why most people stink.  That's why they have body odor.  That's why their elimination smells . . . You can smell someone that's a meat eater.  You can just look at their eyes and at their skin."

I have not consumed meat since 1980 and it is something I definitely tell people not to eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy.  But I think Dr. Young goes too far in suggesting that there is no nutrition in meat whatsoever and the reason why people smell so much.  Meat may be one of the contributing factors, but I have met vegetarians who smell bad themselves, including their breath.  He suggests that meat actually causes people to rot from within.  The consumption of cooked animal protein leads to more disease than anything other than not drinking enough water.  But it's not as bad as Dr. Young makes it sound. <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2011/01/26/dr-robert-o-youngs-biggest-mistake/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">by</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://watershed.net/Bob-McCauley/">Bob McCauley, CNC, MH </a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Dr. Robert O. Young wrote the book pH Miracle, which <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2009/05/15/my-response-to-dr-robert-young-and-his-book-the-ph-miracle/">I wrote a rebuttal</a> to.  He was interviewed by <a href="http://renegadehealth.com/blog/">Kevin Giani</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The interview can be seen here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhCVUFbNTM&amp;feature=channel">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRhCVUFbNTM&amp;feature=channel</a>.  In the beginning of the interview Dr. Young talks about the detrimental effects of consuming meat and how it should be avoided. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Dr. Young&#8217;s words are in italics. </strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"><em>&#8220;Meat has no nutritional value other than to just destroy you life.&#8221;</em> &#8220;</span><span style="color: #000000;">[Eating meat is] <em>why most people stink.  That&#8217;s why they have body odor.  That&#8217;s why their elimination smells . . . You can smell someone that&#8217;s a meat eater.  You can just look at their eyes and at their skin.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">I have not consumed meat since 1980.  Absolutely, I suggest to people that they do not to eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy.  But I think Dr. Young goes too far in suggesting that there is no nutrition in meat whatsoever and the reason why people smell so much.  Meat may be one of the contributing factors, but I have met vegetarians who smell bad themselves, including their breath.  He suggests that meat actually causes people to rot from within.  The consumption of cooked animal protein leads to more disease than anything other than not drinking enough water.  But it&#8217;s not as bad as Dr. Young makes it sound.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s probably the worst of all the foods one can eat.&#8221;</em><span style="color: #000000;"> <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Perhaps Dr. Young has never been introduced to a Twinkie, Cheese Puffs or the myriad number of other processed junk foods that the average person commonly eat everyday.  I would consider many of them much worse than meat.</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">Dr. Young continues: </span><em><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;In fact a lot of times the pe</span>ople who eat meat start looking like the animals they&#8217;re eating.  Because there&#8217;s an intelligent there, matter, that actually starts shifting, you know, the animals they eat many times they become.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s a mystery as to what Dr. Young is suggesting as to how a person begins to look like the animals they eat, whether it is fish or a chicken or a cow.  I call on Dr. Young to defend this non-scientific, preposterou</span>s<span style="color: #000000;"> idea with some kind of evidence in the way of a study or at least a scientific </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #000000;">hypothes</span><span style="color: #000000;">is</span></strong><strong>. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">The sarcastic tone of Dr. Young is palpable throughout the video:</span></strong><em> &#8220;Get off your lazy ass and start moving it. You ever heard of exercise? You know?&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Dr. Young continues:<em> &#8220;Maybe eating more green foods and drinking more green drinks.&#8221; </em><strong>I couldn&#8217;t agree more with this statement since chlorophyll is our most important nutrient in my opinion.  Unfortunately Dr. Young does not include aglae as one of the healthy green foods.  In fact, it&#8217;s his Biggest Mistake. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Around 4:55 in the video, Dr. Young begins talking about mushrooms and algae and it&#8217;s all downhill from there. </strong> <em>&#8220;Think about it folks.  Algae and fungi, where do you find them, under rotting decay and bodies.  In stagnant, poisonous, toxic lakes.  It&#8217;s whole purpose is to breakdown dead bodies. And when you put algae and fungus and bacteria, what we call healthy bacteria probiotics all you do is take one step closer to the grave.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">We feed and encourage disease of every kind when our digestive tract is void of <a href="http://www.watershed.net/category/Probiotics/">probiotics</a>.  Dr. Young is suggesting here that the friendly bacteria we call probiotics (for life), commonly </span><span style="color: #000000;"><em><em>Acidophilus </em></em><span style="color: #000000;">and <em>bifidus</em>, also causing us to decay from within.  There certainly are harmful bacteria, but to make the blanket statement that all bacteria are harmful to our health is completely wrong, as ample scientific evidence and studies unmistakably proves otherwise. </span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Dr. Young continues:<em> &#8220;What we need is more light, not biological transformations that are essential to life to breaking down dead bodies so they can go back to from whence they came so can be part of some organized matter.  . . . you take days, months, years off your life when you start consuming these things.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Equating yeast, mold and fungus with algae is Dr. Young&#8217;s Biggest Mistake. Yeast and mold are recycling instruments used by nature that are commonly found in a diseased body.  When nature discovers something that does not belong in it, nature&#8217;s processes immediately attempt to re-fold it back into itself so it will again become part of it. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Algae is a green food in the Plantae Kingdom.  It is a plant, the oldest on the planet, that depends on sunlight to survive and reproduce itself.  Fungus, mold and yeast are not plants.  They belong in the Fungi Kingdom and do not require sunlight, nor do they produce chlorophyll. They are recycling agents meant to return things to nature that are no longer a part of it.  You will find mold and fungus in cancer patients because they are being recycled back into nature because cancer is not a part of nature, but rather a response to something found outside of nature.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Young continues:</strong><em> <span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;When you look at an electron micrograph of lung cancer you see </span></em><span style="color: #000000;"><em>algae(s) and mushrooms.  T</em><em>hat&#8217;s what the tissues looks like,  under the sea, you know, Disney Land, you see all these carbunculars  and algae and fungi.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Once again, Dr. Young claims algae is a recycling agent when in fact some species are the most powerful foods known, as such <a title="Spirulina" href="http://www.watershed.net/Spirulina/">spirulina </a>and <a title="Chlorella" href="http://www.watershed.net/Chlorella/">chlorella</a>. They are the most scientifically researched foods in nature.  Unlike any other food, both must accompany a <a href="http://www.watershed.net/media/pdf/certificate-of-analysis-chlorella-04-09-09.pdf">Certificate of Analysis</a> with each batch that the producer sells.  There is no other food on the market that a COA must be presented with other than herbal extracts.  No other food is so rigorously and <a href="http://www.watershed.net/media/pdf/SpirulinaAbstracts.pdf">thoroughly tested in studies than spirulina</a> and chlorella.  Only cracked cell chlorella can be imported and sold in the United States, and the processing methods must be approved by the FDA.  No other foods are so closely scrutinized by the FDA than these two foods.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">In regards to mushrooms, some varieties have incredible health properties such as </span><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Shiitake, <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Reishi, <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Maitake, </span><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Cordyceps, </span><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Enoki, Antrodia camphorata to name a few.<em> </em>Many of them have powerful anticancer and immune building properties.  I regularly consume mushroom and find nothing wrong with them at </span><span style="color: #000000;">all</span>. </strong></strong></strong></span></strong></span></strong></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Yet they are denounced and ridiculed as agents of decay and disease for those who dare consume them.  Dr. Young&#8217;s biggest blunder occurs with his denunciation of the most powerful foods on earth.  It&#8217;s not the first time he has made this mistake and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s not the last.</strong></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have said for years that chlorella and spirulina from China should be viewed suspiciously for several reasons.</p>
<ol>
<li>They are notoriously high in heavy metals.  When Japan industrialized in the 1970&#8242;s, it was exposed to tremendous  amounts of mercury which caused mercury poisoning.  China is experiencing the same phenomena today.  And with such a large and cumbersome population, China has created one of the most polluted environments in the world.  Algae grown in this type of environment will also contain those toxins.</li>
<li>They are notorious for presenting falsified Organic Certification when their production plants have not even been inspected.  The FDA has been aware of this problem for years and the algae industry is hurt by this falsification.  Challenging these companies on their efficacy has resulted in no changes in their illegal actions.  The Chinese government has refused to intervene to stop them.  Falsifying Organic Certification only occurs in China and has become one of the biggest problems in the algae industry.</li>
<li>They use gigantic spray driers and produce huge amounts of Spirulina at once, harvesting only two or three times each year instead of bi-monthly.</li>
<li>Their Spirulina and Chlorella contain so much bacteria that they are forced to irradiate it, which destroy a lot of the nutrients.</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is the link from the FDA warning letter: <a href="http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm217574.htm">http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm217574.htm</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;FDA is concerned with the possible effects of the radiation on the nutrients in the food, the production of radiolytic byproducts, and the potential effect of radiation on the microbiological profile of the food. Any of these issues could raise health concerns with your irradiated products.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Here are the things to consider when purchasing Chlorella, Spirulina or other algae.</p>
<ol>
<li> Cultivated in a controlled environment and not harvested from a lake.</li>
<li>It should be constantly produced so it is fresh.  Many producers, especially in China, produce Chlorella and Spirulina twice a year and then store it for the rest of the year. By the time it makes it to the market it can be as much as one year old.  Freshness is obligatory when it comes to anything that has been powdered such as Spirulina, Chlorella or herbs such as Maca or Mucuna.</li>
<li>It must be powdered immediately after being produced.</li>
<li>Each batch <em>must </em>come with a Certificate of Analysis (COA).  This is nearly impossible to get from most producers.  Most resellers don&#8217;t even know what a COA is.</li>
<li>It must be cleaned, powdered and packed in a sterile environment.</li>
</ol>
<p>The best <a href="http://www.watershed.net/Chlorella/">Chlorella </a>and <a href="http://www.watershed.net/Spirulina/">Spirulina </a>are currently grown in Taiwan, India and Hawaii.  Be wary of anything produced in China.  The Watershed Wellness Center only sells products that come from production facilities that it has produced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>NatureBuilt Products</em> has release <strong>Chlorella </strong>combined with <strong>Bacopa Extract</strong> (aka <em>brahmi</em>) in tablet.  It is the first product of its kind on the market, Chlorella combined with Bacopa in tablet form.  Bacopa (focus, concentration) is one of three &#8220;Brain Herbs&#8221; we have talking about at the Watershed Wellness Center for 2 years now.  Mucuna (HGH, Dopamine, Melatonine) and Ginkgo Biloba (memory) are the other two.  There are no binders or fillers in the tablets, which are 90% chlorella and 10% Bacopa Extract with 53% concentrated Bacocides, which is the chemical that helps improve concentration and memory.</p>
<p>I personally take Bacopa everyday in tablet form combined with Chlorella.  I don&#8217;t take Bacopa powder by itself because the taste is awful.  So thank God for tablets.  Same is true of Ginkgo Biloba which is even worse tasting than Bacopa.  Mucuna I take every night before I go to bed because the brain produces Human Growth Hormone while we are sleeping.  This wakes up the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineal_gland">pineal gland</a> in the center of the brain.  When it comes to longevity and spiritual balance it&#8217;s all about the pineal gland.</p>
<blockquote><p>Chlorella is a green algae and the Most Powerful Wholefood known. It contains the highest amount of Protein, Chlorophyll and Nucleic Acids of any food. It is also a food that anyone can safely consume. <strong>BACOPA is documented to improve memory and general mental abilities, including concentration and mental deficiencies. It is a sedative that helps relieve anxiety, stress and insomnia. Bacopa is a powerful antioxidant. It also has antifungal and antibacterial properties. </strong>The advantage of combining a concentrated herb such as BACOPA with a complete food such as CHLORELLA is that the protein allows the body to absorb and utilize the herb much more safely and effectively.</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Far more effective methods of opening Chlorella’s cell wall have been developed since the 1970’s.  The state-of-the-art Pressure-Release® method used by our manufacturer is an entirely new approach to opening Chlorella’s cell wall.  As the Chlorella cells pass through the specially designed Pressure-Release® chamber they rupture, or crack open, due to the sudden and extreme changes in pressure.  There are several advantages to the Pressure-Release® technique over that of the Dyno®-Mill process.   First, and most importantly, nothing comes in contact with the Chlorella cells, therefore the process is 100% natural and organic.  The nutrients of the Chlorella cells are now available to be digested by the body.  Second, the Chlorella cells are not exposed to heavy metals from glass or other impurities that may be present within the glass.  And since they have not been pulverized, but rather only pulverized as can be seen in Examples 1 and 2, their unique nutrients remain in tact.  Thirdly, oxidation and nutrient degradation are significantly reduced when using the Pressure-Release® method.  You can see a significant difference between a Pressure-Release® processed Chlorella cell and one that has not be processed, or cracked open, in the photo to the right.  And the digestibility of the Chlorella is just as high using the Pressure-Release® technique as it is using the Dyno®-Mill process.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://watershed.net/Bob-McCauley-Biography/">Bob McCauley</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Much has been said about how the cell wall of <a href="http://watershed.net/Chlorella/">Chlorella </a>pyrenoidosa is cracked or opened.  Chlorella is a green algae whose outer cell wall is composed of thick layers of dietary fiber that is excellent for digestion and binds with heavy metals and other synthetic toxins and removes them from the body.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Chlorella’s cell wall is comprised of 3 layers.  The middle layer contains the thickest cellulose microfibrils.  The outer layer is extremely resistant to tearing or breakage.  The characteristics of this fiber are unique to Chlorella and why it is so important that we consistently have Chlorella in our diet because it is not found in any other food source.  Even dead Chlorella has the ability to soak up toxins after it has bonded with them. ”</p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.watershed.net/products/AchievingBook/Achieving-Great-Health.html">Achieving Great Health</a> by Bob McCauley</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This fiber that surrounds the cells must be cracked or broken so that the nutrients inside can be completely absorbed by the body.  If the Chlorella cell is not opened, then only a small amount of nutrients would be available to the body.  All Chlorella that is imported into the United States must be cracked or open cell according to FDA regulations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Antiquated Method</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-744" title="Typical Dyno-mill Food Processor" src="http://blog.watershed.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/dyno-mill5-150x150.jpg" alt="Typical Dyno-mill Food Processor" width="125" height="125" /></p>
<p>The Dyno®-Mill technique that is used to open Chlorella’s cell wall was first developed in Japan in the mid-1970’s.  This technology was originally developed for use in the meat industry and has subsequently been used in other food industries including Chlorella production. The use of Dyno®-Mill techniques in Chlorella production was indeed breakthrough technology for its time since no other technology had been developed that effectively broke open Chlorella’s thick cell wall.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-735" title="Dyno Mill glass-beads" src="http://blog.watershed.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/glass-beads4-150x150.jpg" alt="glass-beads" width="100" height="100" /></p>
<p>The Dyno®-Mill process uses thousands of very small glass beads (2 mm in diameter) such as those pictured here that are placed in a drum with the Chlorella and spun together for several minutes.  It is an effective way to open the Chlorella cell wall.  However, the Chlorella cells are exposed to potential lead and other contamination from the glass beads that are used in the process, especially if some of the glass beads are cracked or broken.  This milling process, which can be compared to milling wheat into flour, pulverizes the Chlorella cell rather than just gently cracking it open.  When the Chlorella cell is pulverized it immediately becomes susceptible to oxidation, which leads to degradation of its nutrients.  The Dyno®-Mill process also destroys the cell’s membrane, chloroplast, mitochondria and nucleus.  The main problem with this archaic method of opening Chlorella’s cell wall is that the scrambling of its nutrients significantly decrease its self-life, which is critical with regard to the marketing, nutritional integrity and consumption of Chlorella.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Superior Method of Opening Chlorella Cell Wall</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-747" title="Example 1: Pressure Release" src="http://blog.watershed.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Example-13-150x150.jpg" alt="Example 1" width="125" height="125" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The American Assoication for Retired Persons (AARP) has endorsed spirulina as the best anti-aging one can consume.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;1. Spirulina (blue-green algae) Spirulina contains not only the antioxidant phycocyanin but also a bundle of protein, plus omega fatty acids. Once a mainstay food of the Aztecs, spirulina additionally works as an ibuprofenlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Add one teaspoon to one tablespoon of spirulina a day to smoothies or yogurt, or take it in capsule form. Caution: for some people, spirulina can be overstimulating (kind of like too much coffee), so experiment to find the right balance.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.aarpmagazine.org/health/longevity_foods.html">http://www.aarpmagazine.org/health/longevity_foods.html </a></p></blockquote>
<p>Bob McCauley wrote about spirulina in his best-selling book, <a href="http://www.watershed.net/products/AchievingBook/Achieving-Great-Health.html">Achieving Great Health</a>.  Also available in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Translation-Wholefoods-Chlorella-Spirulina/dp/0970393377/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_6">Chinese translation</a>.  The Watershed Wellness Center promotes spirulina as a central part of everyone&#8217;s diet and as a food that should be used for a protein source, or replacement, for meat, fish eggs and dairy products.</p>
<p>Spirulina information, videos and articles are <a href="http://www.watershed.net/Spirulina/">here</a>.  Purchase spirulina <a href="http://www.watershed.net/category/Spirulina/">here</a>.   We offer both tablets and powder, as well as chlorella/spirulina tablet combination.</p>
