I first met Fairfax Hackley – Hack as I know him – in 2001 at the Arnold Sports Classic.  He had found a copy of my book, Confessions Of A Body Builder, Rejuvenating the body with Spirulina, Chlorella, Raw Foods and Ionized Water on Nature’s First Law, David Wolfe’s now closed store.  He contacted and invited me to the Arnold Sports Classic, which I attended.  We’ve been friend ever since.  Hack introduced me to Randy Couture, former UFC heavy weight champion, who bought a water ionizer from me and still takes my chlorella and spirulina product.

Hack and I have remained friends ever since.  He’s a big fan of my work in the field of natural health and the feeling is mutual.  Hack is a voracious reader, which is how he found me in the first place, and he loves natural health.  He told me that he’d read every book he could get his hands on regarding the Raw Food Diet, which is of course, the healthiest diet we can live on.

Receiving the Dwight David Eisenhower Fitness Award was not only a great honor for Hack, but one that was long overdue considering his dedication to the sport of bodybuilding and fitness.  Hack has been the MC for the Arm Wrestling Competition at the Arnold Fitness Classic since it’s inception over 30 years ago.

Receiving the Dwight David Eisenhower Fitness Award at the event was master personal trainer Fairfax Hackley, who won 12 class titles in bodybuilding and later served as a judge and as director of the Mr. America contest.  He spent more than 20 years in the sport, winning the International Federation of Body Building and Fitness (IFBB) Silver and Gold Awards for Excellence in Administration. He has trained numerous celebrities and athletes, including boxers and mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters.  He has worked closely with the Arnold (Schwarzenegger) Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio.  The resident of Falls Church, Va., is a member of the International Sports Hall of Fame, serving on its advisory board.  The United States Sports Academy  

The United States Sports Academy recently held its 33rd Annual Awards of Sport program, a celebration of sport and art and “A Tribute to the Artist and the Athlete.” The 2017 program was held on Thursday, November 9, 2017 in the Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich Gallery of the Academy in Daphne, Ala. Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Stephen Butler served as Master of Ceremonies.

The Academy’s Awards of Sport honor those who have made significant contributions to sport in categories as diverse as the artist and the athlete. The awards honor exemplary achievement in coaching, all-around athletic performance, courage, humanitarian activity, fitness, and media, among others.

The Academy’s American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA) annually recognizes these men and women through its Sport Artist of the Year, Honorary Doctorates, Medallion Series, Distinguished Service Awards, Outstanding Athletes and Alumni of the Year awards.

I watched the (boring) documentary “Toxic Puzzle” recently which attempts to show the link between Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and β-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), an amino acid found in cyanobacteria such as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) which is found in Klamath Lake, Oregon and other places around the world.  At the end of “Toxic Puzzle” they point the finger at Spirulina platensis as being potentially toxic and then they actaully lie about their findings.   They don’t bother to mention AFA in their documentary, which is known to have Microcystins, Saxitoxins, Cylindrospermopsin and Anatoxins. 

BMAA is a dangerous amino acid, which is why we test for it.  Here are our test results.  

I refute all these spurious claims against spirulina in my Rebuttal, which posted on Youtube.

Harmful Algae Blooms (HAB) often involve cyanobacteria such as AFA.  The most common species of toxic cyanobacteria in the Great Lakes are: Microcystis aeruginosa, Anabaena circinalis, Anabaena flos-aquae, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii.  AFA is sold under the names Klamath Lake Algae, and Klamath blue-green algae.  Actually it is a cyanobacteria as is Spirulina platensis, which I have sold for many years.

The documentary cites a study then misrepresents it.

J AOAC Int. 2015 Nov-Dec;98(6):1559-65. doi: 10.5740/jaoacint.15-084.
Determination of β-N-methylamino-L-alanine, N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine, and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid in Food Products Containing Cyanobacteria by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Single-Laboratory Validation.

Cyanotoxins are toxins produced by bacteria called cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae). Cyanobacteria are found almost everywhere, but particularly in lakes and in the ocean where, under certain conditions, they reproduce exponentially to form blooms.

DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 essential fatty acid required by the body for many functions throughout the body, primarily the brain and heart functions.  It also helps maintain blood pressure and triglyceride levels in the body.  The goal of using omega-3 fatty acids is the reduction of cellular inflammation.  It is required for eye health. Our DHA powder is extracted from Schizochytrium algae and is 100% Vegan.

Quora Question: Should kids be vegan?

My Answer: If you include Chlorella and Spirulina, which are 60% protein, then yes, absolutely children should be raised vegan. However, remember that when you try to control a child’s dietary habits that may backfire on you later as they get older, see other kids eating burgers and pizza, and then they do the same. My boys were offered a choice of being vegans or not. They chose to both be vegans. They are in their 20’s and still are vegans. I’m happy for them, but I would not hold it against them if they were not. However, I would often remind them that they vegan diet with chlorella and spirulina is the healthiest diet.

A news report about Alkaline Ionized Water – calling it Kangen Water – gets it right and not to so right.  They always need to go to the medical world for health answers.   I don’t really know what Kangen means, but it doesn’t mean Alkaline Ionized Water – and that happens to be something I know a lot about.

YouTube Comment:

You are what you eat, but it’s a lot more complicated than that. A man in his forties who went to the gym and drank designer water and ate boneless, skinless chicken breast and salads, etc., not overweight, died in his sleep on his daughter’s 4th birthday. It’s the luck of the draw. Eat, stink, and be scary, like Shrek. Also, it says in the holy bible that we should be more concerned about what comes out of our mouth, than what goes into it.

My Reponse:

I would like to know the details of the 4 yr old’s father who died. Luck has nothing to do with health, although you can be born with health defects that almost derive from the host-mother’s poor health and/or deficient nutritional habits. Other than that, health is always obtainable by virtually since the body is capable of healing itself of any disease. Luck has nothing to do with health.

Here is my opinion about baby’s and infants.

What Ginkgo Biloba does in the body more than than anything is increase circulation.  It’s probably the best herb in the world for doing this.  It assists the brain and works as an anti-inflammatory more than anything else.

• Increases Circulation
• Increases Focus and Concentration
• Supports Vision and Eye Health
• Helps fight Headaches/Migraines
• Supports Brain Health and Memory Function
• Helps Lessen Apprehension and Uneasiness
• Fights Symptoms of PMS
• Helps with Respiratory Health
• Helps relieve Chronic Pain and Fatigue
• Increases Libido 

Ginkgo biloba, Salisburia adiantifolia, also known as maidenhair, is a anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, asthma natural remedy, ADHD natural remedy and memory loss treatment. It is so effective that it’s a prescription herb in Germany and Taiwan.  We only sell  24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones.
