<p>The function of the skin:</p>
<ol>
<li>It is our largest organ</li>
<li>Protects our internal organs from injury and infection.</li>
<li>Protects us from dehydration.</li>
<li>Helps detoxify wastes through perspiration.</li>
<li>Protects our body from sunburns.</li>
<li>Provides an important line of defense against infections &#8211; barrier to viruses  and bacteria.</li>
<li>Protects us against extreme changes in temperature between us and the environment.</li>
<li>Produces and stores vitamin D, which is important to our immune system.</li>
<li>Sensory perception.</li>
<li>Gives information to our brain so you can react to it for self-preservation.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>What I recommend to do to care for your skin:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Alkaline ionized water for drinking</li>
<li>Far Infrared Sauna</li>
<li>Acid Ionized Water</li>
<li>Showering – hot and cold water</li>
<li>Skin brushing</li>
<li>Dermatological wash cloth or a loofah</li>
<li>Volcanic ash – clay – ex-foliation.</li>
<li>Chlorella powder with CGF Powder</li>
<li>Witch Hazel (plant extract).</li>
<li>Shea Butter for a moisturizer.</li>
<li>Snow Fungus &#8211; THE BEST!!  Soak in water a few minutes and then apply to the skin.  I love it.</li>
<li><strong>Internally:</strong> Angstrom silicon, sulfur (MSM), olive oil, coconut oil.</li>
<li><strong>Foods:</strong> avocado, raw nuts.  Raw potato juice There are also lots of other foods and herbs great for the skin.</li>
</ol>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the worse things are commercial beauty products such as Lancôme, Clinique – They are full of chemicals such as parabens.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Bob McCauley, CNC, MH</p>
<p>Introducing Naturebuilt  Chlorella with KELP extract in tablet form.  This is the only product of its kind on the market.</p>
<ol>
<li>KELP extract has no fiber, no protein or vitamin C.  It is water soluble and therefore has high penetrability into the body and our cells.</li>
<li>KELP Boosts the immune system.</li>
<li>KELP Can help protect against thyroid cancer and other cancers.</li>
<li>KELP Helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels.</li>
<li>KELP Improves hair and nails and help them to grow.</li>
<li>KELP Detoxifies the body from heavy metals, especially smokers from strontium and cadmium.  It detoxifies radioactive elements and other toxins.  It’s a free radical scavenger.</li>
<li>KELP Helps those who are overweight by improving the function of the gastro-intestinal tract.</li>
<li>KELP has more FAT BURNING qualities more than it directly promotes weight loss.</li>
<li>KELP has iodine, the highest of any plant in the world.  This increases metabolism, which translates into the ability to burn fat more easily.</li>
<li>KELP Extract also assists with lymph drainage, which is part of the endocrine system.   It is this endocrine and metabolism connection – the synergistic effect of these systems working together – that boosts metabolism and BURNS FAT.</li>
<li>Fucoxanthin found in KELP is a powerful antioxidant.  There is a product that claims that Fucoxanthin helps with weight loss and I don’t see the evidence for that.  It’s the Iodine in KELP that works with endocrine and metabolism connection that is the real fat burner.  It is very effective for weight loss.</li>
</ol>

<p>One of the most ridiculous comments I have ever heard Dr. Andrew Weil made is <a href="http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/ART00333">“They are good sources of chlorophyll, but there is little to no research supporting the claims made about the algae.”</a> <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2009/05/15/my-response-to-dr-andrew-weils-assessment-of-spirulina-and-chlorella/">I wrote a rebuttal to his remarks.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDOVBKGvUOo">video response to the Debate</a> about the Vegan Diet Debate between Dr. Mercola and Dr. G. Cousens, who wrote the introduction to my book <a href="http://watershed.net/products/AchievingBook/Achieving-Great-Health.htmlhttp://watershed.net/products/AchievingBook/Achieving-Great-Health.html">Achieving Great Health</a>, 2005.</p>
<p>The conversation meanders as these two technocrats of the health world get into the minutia of healthy living.  It was really a discussion about health rather than a &#8220;Debate on the Vegan Diet&#8221; as it was billed.  I was expecting a vigorous debate with a lot of disagreement and instead I was bored out of my mind.  And I love this stuff!!  But how much talk about purines and carnasine can one listen to before you fall asleep?  I was expecting to hear solid reasons pro and con about the vegan diet.  And I heard nothing of the sort.</p>
<p>Dr. Mercola then suggests that there is too much iron in chlorella and that menopausal women and older men don&#8217;t do well on it.  <em>&#8220;Iron is an oxidant&#8221;</em> Dr. Cousens stated.  They talk about iron like it&#8217;s a poison when in fact iron is at the center of every blood cell in our body.  Dr. Mercola: <em>&#8220;I was shocked to see how much iron was in [spirulina and chlorella].&#8221; </em>Dr<em>. </em>Cousens: <em>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t cause a problem [with elevated iron levels] and we don&#8217;t know why.&#8221;</em> Dr. Mercola suggests that chlorella binds with heavy metals which includes iron, which is wrong because it is naturally bio-available iron and not iron-oxide.  Iron oxide is what is dangerous for the body because it is not bio-available.</p>
<p>Watch the entire video for the full response.  I really had a lot to disagree with between the both of them.</p>

<p>I have been hearing for years what a scam Ionized Water is.  I have heard it called &#8220;snake oil on tap&#8221;, yet no one has ever called for them to be removed from the market.  <em>Alkaline Water, Alkalized Water, Kangen Water,</em> <em>Miracle Water, Micro Water, Ion Water, Ionic Water, Electron Water, Electrolyzed Water: </em>It&#8217;s all the same.  Water that has been electrolyzed is most commonly called Ionized Water.  And for some reason there is a great deal of opposition to it.  Recently <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2010/09/18/my-rebuttal-to-dr-mercola%E2%80%99s-assessment-of-ionized-water/">Dr. J. Mercola</a> denounced Ionized Water.  <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2010/09/18/my-rebuttal-to-dr-mercola%E2%80%99s-assessment-of-ionized-water/">Dr. Andrew Weil </a>has also found some excuse to dismiss ionized water.  In fact, <a href="http://blog.watershed.net/2010/09/28/my-second-response-to-dr-andrew-weil%E2%80%99s-assessment-of-ionized-water-kangen-water/">he did it twice</a>.  I am not a &#8220;believer&#8221; in Ionized Water anymore than I am a believer that the world is round and not flat.  To have a belief Ionized Water and its positive effects on the health of those who consume it is a fact and not a &#8220;belief&#8221;.  It is a fact what ionization does to the pH, ORP and structure of water it ionizes.  I don&#8217;t have faith that raw fruits and vegetables are healthy for us, I understand it as a fact.  The same is true for Ionized Water.  <a href="http://www.watershed.net/products/IonizedWaterBook/The-Miraculous-Properties-of-Ionized-Water.html">I wrote the book on it.</a></p>
<p>To be perfectly honest with you it boils my blood to hear <a href="http://watershed.net/Water-Ionizers/">http://watershed.net/Water-Ionizers/</a>, the healthiest substance we can possible consume, described as snake oil and a scam.  The main reason is because this kind of thinking plants doubt into the minds of so many people that it leads them to the decision never to purchase a Water Ionizer, never to drink Ionized Water, and never to make a part of their daily lives.  To me, Ionized Water is the bread of life.  I thrive on it.  As you will see below, none of the detractors of Ionized Water have ever consumed it or bothered to measure it&#8217;s pH or ORP.  If they did, they would find Ionized Water to be the healthiest substance we can consume.</p>
<p>I am considered a “crank” by some, which is aptly defined by Mark Twain as “<em>a person with a new idea until it succeeds.”</em><em> </em>Without fail, there are those who attempt to debunk great advances in every scientific field and <em>Ionized Water</em> is no exception.  Continental plate tectonics was ridiculed when it was proposed by Alfred Wegene in 1912.  Now it&#8217;s established fact.  The same will be with Ionized Water.  It too will one day become established fact taught in every school. Debunkers suggest that the ionization of water simply isn’t possible.  One debunker states that <em>Ionized Water</em> should be dismissed simply because <em>it is too good to be true</em>.  Others state that ionization is impossible to verify when in fact its properties are demonstrated using scientific measuring devices such as pH and ORP meters because the changes that ionization produce are radical, immediate and measurable.</p>
<p><em>Debunkers</em> contend that most new health technologies developed outside of the traditional medical establishment are worthless and have no value beyond their hype.  They claim that nearly every unusual invention that doesn’t easily fit into the framework of conventional thinking turns out to be yet another urban myth<em> </em>that needs to be debunked.  And if something that they have denounced turns out to have merit, not another word is ever said about it and the debunker’s web page is quietly removed.</p>
<p>What health debunkers do best is plant doubt in our minds when we are trying to search out the truth about breakthrough health devices.  It&#8217;s easy to be a skeptic.  It’s difficult to blaze trails and fly in the face of every conventional thought and precept science has established.  It&#8217;s hard to believe in something that you discover and want to be true when someone with a scientific background who claims to be an expert is soundly denouncing it.  It is even harder to believe in things that others are ridiculing.  <em>Debunkers</em><em> </em>have a chilling effect on open debate because of the way they often scoff at the technologies they are challenging.  Their attack on new health technologies that have not been conducted, sanitized and approved by the medical establishment often extends to the promoter of the new invention.  They become the focus of derision much the way Galileo was when he claimed the Sun was the center of the Solar System, not the Earth.  Debunkers ridicule those who have found a new path, uncovered a new truth and consequentially have surpassed an old belief system.  The water ionizer is a prime example of this kind of attack that stifles progress.</p>
<p>We tend to accept the denunciations of the debunkers<em> </em>because we want to believe that we can&#8217;t be so easily fooled.  We want to deem ourselves too savvy to be deceived by promises that sound too good to be true.   We enjoy hearing that ideas and inventions that may sound a little weird, or too good to be true, could not possibly be true.  Debunkers want us to believe that life is too harsh for good things to be true.  Life is too difficult for something like <em>Ionized Water</em> to be healthy for us and possess the miraculous health properties it is said to have.  And since someone with a scientific background has claimed it to be a hoax, it must be one.  Thus, we doubt and dismiss it, exactly what debunkers want us to do.</p>
<p>Debunkers tend to be heavy on opinion and light on the facts.  And they often present their opinion as fact.  They are sometimes chemists or chemistry professors who understand book chemistry, but don’t seem to comprehend the simple chemistry of <em>Ionized Water</em>, that of charging water by creating negative ions       (-OH) and positive ions (+H).  Nor do they understand how these ions are created by the simple process of electrolysis then separated through a membrane.  It is not difficult to understand <em>Ionized Water</em>, but it is difficult for some to accept that something so simple can have such a profoundly beneficial effect on everything it comes in contact with, especially our health.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t expect that debunkers will ever disappear.  Ironically, debunkers’ websites are a good resource for groundbreaking technologies since they tend to dismiss anything that might possibly work.</p>
<p>The notion of having people around to challenge the traditional conventions and new inventions is a good one because there is plenty of fraud in the world.  Debunkers, on the other hand, are often something different than those who expose charlatans.  Debunkers stand in front of progress by denouncing and ridiculing any radical new concept.  However, armchair investigations and conclusions drawn from them will never replace field testing and something debunkers almost never do is conduct their own legitimate scientific investigations.</p>
<p>Debunkers often ply their trade in order to protect the <em>status quo </em>and the safety it provides to those who are afraid of the future and the change that it inevitably brings.  Debunkers sometimes serve no other purpose than to confuse us regarding complex issues, which is especially disappointing and destructive when it comes to natural health.</p>
<p>When a radical scientific concept is first introduced, there is commonly resistance to it by the prevailing scientific community.  New ideas are generally ridiculed and derided because they make people uncomfortable.  Scientists don&#8217;t want to accept new ones because their life’s work is based on the foundation of these old ideas.  They become particularly defensive and resistant when the new ideas destroy, override or completely supersede the old ones.  Often, the members of the established scientific community must die off so the next generation can be raised with the new concept and accept it from the beginning without any unnecessary bias and hand-wringing about what they once embraced as the truth that has now been superseded by the next wave of scientific discovery.  With the coming of the next generation, the new concept will no longer be regarded as radical, but rather another stepping stone to understanding the whole truth about health, nature and the very essence of human existence.   The acceptance of <em>Ionized Water</em> is yet another stepping stone that cannot be ignored because it is a critical component of health.</p>
<p>A considerable amount of research has been conducted on the effects of <em>Ionized Water</em>, most of it by Japanese researchers, which should be no surprise since they have embraced the concept of water ionization more than anyone else  (Appendix 5: Scientific Studies).  All of the research done on <em>Ionized Water</em> has arrived at the same conclusion: <em><strong>Ionized Water </strong></em><strong>benefits everything it comes in contact with as long as it’s used correctly.</strong><a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Books%20-%20Finished/Book%20-%20Ionized%20Water%20%20-%20Miraculous%20Properties/3rd%20Edition/The%20Miraculous%20Properties%20of%20Ionized%20Water_FINAL_3rd_edition.doc#_edn1"><strong><strong>[i]</strong></strong></a> Physical scientific measurements, not conjecture, demonstrate the properties of <em>Ionized Water. </em>With this hard evidence in front of us, there is no other conclusion to reach than to claim that the properties of <em>Ionized Water</em> are best described as simply miraculous.</p>
<p>The strong <strong>detoxification </strong>effects of <em>Ionized Water</em> alone are enough to demonstrate that it is not like any other water you will ever consume.   This is due to the small water-molecule cluster size.  How water molecules group together is another thing that debunkers claim can not happen, thus it is so much more quackery.  This conclusion is reached despite the fact that a substantial amount of scientific research has been done on water molecule clusters.<a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Books%20-%20Finished/Book%20-%20Ionized%20Water%20%20-%20Miraculous%20Properties/3rd%20Edition/The%20Miraculous%20Properties%20of%20Ionized%20Water_FINAL_3rd_edition.doc#_edn2">[ii]</a> Water-molecule cluster size is measured by using a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance device.  We can also determine the change in the surface tension of <em>Ionized Water</em>, which is measured in dynes.<a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Books%20-%20Finished/Book%20-%20Ionized%20Water%20%20-%20Miraculous%20Properties/3rd%20Edition/The%20Miraculous%20Properties%20of%20Ionized%20Water_FINAL_3rd_edition.doc#_edn3">[iii]</a> A lower surface tension demonstrates the existence of smaller water molecule clusters.<a href="file:///C:/Users/MainAccount/Documents/Files/Books%20-%20Finished/Book%20-%20Ionized%20Water%20%20-%20Miraculous%20Properties/3rd%20Edition/The%20Miraculous%20Properties%20of%20Ionized%20Water_FINAL_3rd_edition.doc#_edn4">[iv]</a></p>
<p>Debunkers do not accept the basic concept of positive and negative ions and how they affect human health.  If they did, they would understand how important it is that we put alkaline substances in our body. Those who would attack <em>Ionized Water </em>and claim it is a hoax do not understand the value of consuming substances that are negatively charged and possess negative ions.  By their own admission, those who debunk <em>Ionized Water </em>have never consumed it, claiming there is no need to because the concept of ionizing water is impossible to begin with.</p>
<p>Debunkers are part of a faux-intelligentsia that does not believe in field testing before they arrive at conclusions.  The truth is that field testing often reveals many things that formulas and theories written on paper could never have predicted.  Examine debunkers and their methods closely for they are self-appointed watchdogs.  The methods of debunkers are never based on scientific evidence, but rather their own personal interpretation of the science they are debunking.  Debunkers, more often than not, need themselves to be debunked.  This has never been truer than when it comes to the debunkers of <em>Ionized Water</em>.  They don’t understand the simple truth that ionizing water takes it to a level of health many times above that of conventional water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://watershed.net/Bob-McCauley/">By Bob McCauley, CNC, MH </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Oq146rKpY">Here is my video of this topic.</a> An algae product known as <em>Cryptomonadales</em><em> </em>is grown in Taiwan and marketed throughout Asia, Australia and North America.  The claims made about this strain of chlorella, such as how it is grown and what strain it actually is, are ridiculous.   The algae that they say is grown is a strain known as Chlorella <em>sorokiniana,</em><em> </em>which is named after the researcher who discovered it, Constantine Sorokin.</p>
<p>Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em> is a thermopilic algae that thrives in warm water at temperatures of 100 &#8211; 107 degrees F (40 &#8211; 42 degrees C).  Most Chlorella strains are grown at much lower temperatures, around 55 &#8211; 80 degrees F (15 &#8211; 22 degrees C).  The biggest problem with Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em><em> </em>are the <strong>pheophorbides</strong>, chemical structures that are dangerous to our health if consumed in large quantities.  Measured in milligrams as a percent of the food per grams with 60mg/100 grams being the limit allowed by law. <a href="http://www.watershed.net/Chlorella/">Watershed Chlorella</a> has a level of 27 &#8211; 30 mg pheophorbides.  Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em><em> </em>has over 180 mg pheophorbides, well over the maximum allowable contamination level.  Therefore, Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em><em> </em>cannot be sold for consumption alone but must be combined with other algae such as Spirulina in order to bring the pheophorbide to acceptable levels.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.febico.com/">FEBICO</a>, a Taiwan Chlorella producer, sells a product such as this called <a href="http://www.febico.com/pro_febico_sorokina_ppar_en.html">Sorokina</a><strong>,</strong><strong> </strong>which combines Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em>, spirulina and C. Cohnii, a red algae which is a source of DHA and other omega 3 and 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. FEBICO makes the same claims about their product as the producers of c<em>ryptomonadales, </em>The<em> </em>International Chlorella Company of Taiwan,<em> </em>and that is that it contains <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxisome_proliferator-activated_receptor">Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs)</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyunsaturated_fatty_acid">Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs)</a>.  Both these nutritional claims are true.</p>
<p>Chlorella <em>pyrenoidosa </em>contains <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-Linolenic_acid">Alpha Linolenlic Acid (ALA)</a>, another PUFA that that is an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_nutrient">essential nutrient</a>, meaning that it is required by body and must be consumed since the body cannot produce it.</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cryptomonadales</span></em><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">claim:</span> &#8220;<em>Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors Crypto Power™ Chlorella Cryptomonadales<sup>® </sup>Chlorella Sorokiniana The only known algae in the world containing significant amounts of all three naturally occurring Alpha, Beta, and Gamma PPARs.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This is a claim that FEBICO also makes with its Sorokina product because Chlorella <em>sorokiniana</em><em> </em>contains both ALA and Beta linolenic acid (BLA), however only spirulina has gamma linolenic acid (GLA).  The claim by the producers of c<em>ryptomonadales</em><em> </em>that they have combined Chlorella <em>sorokiniana </em>with Spirulina <em>plantenis</em><em> </em>into one strain of algae is completely false because this is simply not possible.  Spirulina is not an algae, but rather a cyanobacteria (blue bacteria) that is both animal and vegetable since it exhibits both characteristics regarding its biological classification. The blue in spirulina is phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant.  <em>Phyco</em> means algae and <em>cyanin</em> means blue.  But Spirulina does not have a nucleus and therefore cannot be classified a plant and why it is classified as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteria">cyanobacterium</a>, or blue bacteria.</p>
<p>The reason this is important is because we know that it is impossible to cross a plant with an animal, in this case a bacteria with an algae.  It would be like crossing a dog with a strain of corn.  There has been speculation that they have gene-spliced these two together, fusing them into a new species.  If that is true then it is a result of genetic modification (GMO), commonly known as franken-food because it is a food that has been tinkered with by man.  When man tinkers with nature rather than mold it to his benefit, things tend to go wrong.   That is meaning of Mary Shelley&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Frankenstein</span>, that tinkering with nature will result in a catastrophe.</p>
<p>What the producers of cryptomonadales fail to produce is a Certificate of Analysis (COA).  A COA is provided with every batch of chlorella and spirulina that is produced. Algae products are not permitted to be sold without a COA, which is true of Herbal Extracts such as Ginkgo Biloba.   I would never purchase and/or sell a chlorella that did not have a COA and complete <a href="http://watershed.net/media/pdf/TCMC_Chlorella_Nutritional_Analysis.pdf">nutritional analysis such as this one</a>.  Chlorella and Spirulina companies routinely refuse to offer a COA to the public, which is unfortunate since it is the COA that the algae industry rests its case on.  In the case of <em>cryptomonadales</em> it is even more imperative that a COA is offered to anyone who asks for it since they claim to have created a whole new strain of algae.  Until now, they have refused to release a COA of <em>cryptomonadales</em>.  And just to be clear, an analysis of what nutrients are in <em>cryptomonadales</em> is not a COA.  A COA must  be attached to a particular batch of algae that is produced and when it was produced.</p>
<p>The producer does not sell <em>cryptomonadales<sup>® </sup>Chlorella Sorokiniana </em>in powder form, which is quite odd since many people prefer to take chlorella and Spirulina in powder form rather than tablets.  If they were to release <em>cryptomonadales</em> in powder form their product could be analyzed and evaluated by a third party such as the <a href="http://www.jfrl.or.jp/e/index.htm">Japan Food Research Laboratories</a>, Tokyo, Japan, one of several companies capable of conducting such an objective, independent and reliable analysis.</p>
<p>My opinion is that Cryptomonadales<sup>®</sup> Chlorella Sorokiniana is a combination of Chlolrella <em>sorokiniana </em>and Spirulina <em>plantenis</em>, separate powders in tablet form and not a new strain of algae as the producers claim.  Spirulina must be combined with Chlorella <em>sorokiniana </em>in order to bring the pheophorbides down to acceptable levels, below 60mg/100 gram.  However, we don’t know what those levels are because they won’t publish their COA.  Other than the complete array of PUFAs and PPARs (alpha, beta and gamma linenloic acids), Cryptomonadales does not have much of an advantage over other forms chlorella such as Chlorella <em>pyrenoidosa </em>and Chlorella <em>vulgarius. </em>I want to be clear that I have nothing against Cryptomonadales<sup>®</sup> Chlorella Sorokiniana.  It is a good health product to consume, but the producers are misrepresenting what it is and how it is produced.  They are being deliberately deceptive about their own product in order to sell more of their product and market it as being the latest technology and innovations in the world of health.  The truth is that this kind of deliberate misrepresentation is hurting the algae industry because it causes confusion. My question is that why is there has not been more calls from within the scientific community</p>
<p>I invite them to provide the world with evidence that they have indeed created a new strain of algae by combining a bacterium (Spirulina) with a plant (Chlorella).  Until now, they have offered no scientific or photographic evidence that their claims are indeed true.  Therefore, the untenable claims made by the producers of Cryptomonadales are perpetrating a hoax by claiming that they have invented a new strain of algae in my opinion.</p>

			<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>We are under the false impression that health is complex and therefore must be beyond our grasp. Many of us believe we are eating healthily when in fact we are not. Faux health is feeling good while living with the knowledge that you are declining and it is only a matter of time before disease invades your body. Health is simple to understand, but it is not easy to follow.</p>
<p>He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29 [NIV]<br />
We must control our appetite for the foods and tastes we crave and have become accustomed to eating over many years. We must not do this for ourselves, but for God and the glorification of His temple, our body.</p>
<p>His word, prayer, meditation, reading scripture, service and work. For a believer, a day spent earnestly working is a day spent with God. The environment for that is best created when we live in the now, the present moment and when we live in a way that does not invite disease.</p>

<p>I almost subtitled this book A Christian Health Revolution because it is a truly revolutionary way to view health and how we ought to view the temple, our body, that God has given us. The ideas in this book will change your view of how health is actually obtained. It will challenge your understanding of your body and your obligation to honor it. It will cause you to waken your obligation to honor one of God’s most precise gifts, your body. Whether you are Christian or not, you will never think of yourself, your life and body in the same way after reading this book.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Honoring the Temple of God and the health protocol explained in this book is the next revolution in Christianity. This revolution concerns the recognition that the temple of God is within us because our body literally is a temple of God. And it is a far more important temple than one built of wood, steel and brick.<br />
More than anything I would love to hear your comments whether you are Christian or not. Send them to bob@watershed.net</p>
