My wife, Rose, had told me that she had the flu and felt terrible. She’d gotten it from her mother and she had been sick over a week. I told her I would bring a cure with me, which I did. It turned out it saved the both of us because it worked for her and then it became a life saver for me as well.
Shortly after I arrived in Hong Kong I gave the cure to Rose. At the time when I administered it to her, she had already recovered 60% of the way from the worst it had been. However, she was still coughing, sniffling and her nose was stuffed badly. The following day I asked how she felt and she reported that she was fine, completely cured. I noticed the coughing had stopped and her nose was unstuffed.
What Rose took that stopped the flu dead in its tracts was exactly what I was going to need in two days, and I was going to need it badly. Shortly after we arrived on Hainan Island to visit a Spirulina factory I began to have a relapse of what had knocked me down in the summer. The immune system is the last thing to be strengthened in the body, even if you move to a raw food diet such as I had. I pride myself on having a strong and resilient immune system. I had accomplished this by living on a plant-based, vegan diet of mostly raw fruits and vegetables for 12 years, by consuming Chlorella Extract (Chlorella Growth Factor or CGF) and juicing foods such as ginger, garlic and turmeric root. I began eating a 90% raw food diet in 1999 and I have gotten the flu four times since then, which is an improvement over getting it once or twice a year.
The disease that returned to me in China came on strong and quickly. Obviously, I had never completely rid it from my body from its first appearance during the summer. And now, with the opportunistic certitude of all disease, it had returned because it could, and it could because my defenses had been lowered by long flights at high altitudes and not getting regular, proper sleep because now that I was on the other side of the world, day was suddenly night and night was day. This kind of thing weakens everyone’s immune system to some degree. In my case, the virus or bacteria that lived within me awoken, proliferated and was about to destroy my trip to China.
The muscles in my legs began to tighten. They became tender and painful, even after rubbing them out for several minutes. A red blemish appeared on my lower right leg about three inches above my right ankle. It looked like a giant pimple, which became extremely delicate to the touch. It was growing in size and I was getting pimples all over my legs. I had first noticed the fester the previous night when that area became extremely painful, as though it were a muscle cramp.
I initially thought my symptoms were simply a result of the 16 hour plane ride to Hong Kong followed by the two-legged three hour plane ride to Hainan Island. However, by the time I woke the following morning my overall condition had declined significantly. The sore on my leg had worsened and throbbed with pain.
It was happening again. My summer illness from hell had returned and now was about to undermine an important and long anticipated trip. And I felt helpless to do anything about it. Then I thought that perhaps it was an infectious disease, either a bacterium or virus that was attacking. I looked through our bags trying to see if we had any more of what I had given to Rose that seemed to cure her flu almost instantly. (to be continued . . . )

The pain started on the top of my head. It felt as though I had gotten a head pimple. Within a day, the pain had moved to my neck, then slid further into my shoulders, tightening the muscles so that I felt like I’d slept poorly and now had a stiff neck because of it. Then the pain started in my legs. I had been running the day before and thought at first I had sore muscles to prove it, although I was in good shape at the time so it was difficult to believe that I had gotten sore muscles from a typical six km run that I do daily.
Over the next 6 days the pain nearly incapacitated me completely.
I had very little appetite. I massaged by legs, neck and shoulders constantly, which did little for me. I couldn’t imagine what was happening to me. At one point I could barely walk. I am a raw foodist and a huge promoter of Ionized Water, Chlorella and Spirulina. I was in the final stages of finishing my work as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND). People regularly came to me for health consultations, which I had been doing for years. I was the first person in the world with a daily radio show that was dedicated to natural health and the raw food lifestyle. Some health guru I was. I had no clue what was happening to me and it was getting worse by the day.
The pain in my shoulders and legs was excruciating at times, in particular the morning when I first woke. It nearly incapacitated me, especially just after waking when I could barely walk. I thought perhaps I had somehow been poisoned, either by heavy metals or herbicides/pesticides. I looked through my numerous health books, many of which were diagnostic books. I found a few possibilities of what my problem could be, but none of them exactly fit the description of what essentially was crippling me.
I stayed 100% raw the entire week, mostly drinking juices and fasting. The less I ate anything, even a raw juice, the better I felt. No surprise there since fasting is the healthiest thing you can do at any given time. By the end of the week I was feeling better, although it took a total of 10 days to get over it completely.
At the time I didn’t know what had made me so incredibly sick. I had never been through anything like that in my life. Being who I am, a health guru, the last thing I want to do is go to a doctor for help, although a blood analysis would have been useful. But I had gotten through it without doing anything other than fasting and staying on a raw food diet.
Six months later, the symptoms returned while on my 2011 trip to China. I had a 16 hour flight to Hong Kong followed by not getting enough rest because of the 12 hour time difference. By the time I took the next flight to Hainan Island my immune system defenses had been lowered enough to the point where I was again susceptible to the same disease that had attacked me in the summer. It scared the hell out of me to think I was going to go through all this this again. However, this time, just by chance, I had the cure with me. (To be continued . . .)

Rose was my translator on my recent trip to China and Taiwan to visit algae producers and herbal extractors. I’ll be going into detail about each place I visit, but my itinerary was:
Lansing, Michigan to Hong Kong via Chicago. 1 day. 2 days in Hong Kong meeting with coffee brokers for possible importation.
Fly to Hainan Island to visit a spirulina/chlorella factory. 3 days.
Fly to Guilin, mainland China, to visit a newly built herbal extraction factory. 3 days.
Fly to Taichung, Taiwan to visit three spiriulina/chlorella factories, two I had never seen before. 7 days.
Fly to HK and back to Lansing, MI. 1 day.
You need to be dedicated to loving spirulina and chlorella to make this kind of a trip. It was nothing less than grueling. First, you end up 12 hours in the future. It takes you around 10 – 12 days to completely adjust, which is usually just long enough so then I’m ready to come back and spend the next 12 days getting back to my regular schedule.
I learned a huge amount about the production of spirulina and chlorella on my trip. I’ve been selling spirulina and chlorella since 1996 and have visited chlorella factories before, but this was my first spirulina factory. I drank spirulina right out of the pond, as fresh as it gets. Rose got a giant pile of spirulina powder thrown all over her by the wind. Not funny for her; I couldn’t stop laughing, sorry.
Rose is now officially the Spirulina Queen of the Watershed Wellness Center. We were examining spirulina powder at the factory on Hainan Island when a gust of wind gently flung it all over her. I have never seen anyone with so much spirulina all over themselves. She looked as if she had jumped into a bin of spirulina powder. She took it well and spent the next 20 minutes trying to wash it off of herself. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t stop laughing, and laughing and . . .
She looks good in blue. More about the spirulina factory and the quality of Chinese spirulina in later posts. And more to come about my trip to other spirulina/chlorella factories in Taiwan as well.

Certified Organic (CO) insures us that herbicides and pesticides have not been used in the growing of a fruit or vegetable or algae. CO has become a necessary evil because without them you never know if something has been chemically sprayed or not. Herbicides and pesticides are deadly toxins in the body composed is hydrocarbons (oil-based substances) that are nearly impossible to get out of the body once they get inside it. Hydrocarbons easily lodge themselves deep in the tissue and will not come out unless they are actively removed through some of the things I recommend to detoxify the body. For instance, removing radiation can be removed from the body, however you must take measures to actively remove radiation, heavy metals, hydrocarbons and other toxins from the body through measures such as these. If you do not they will likely remain in the body, embedded deeply in its tissue.
The government began allowing chemical pesticides to be sprayed on crops in the late 1930’s and became prevalent by the 1940’s. It wasn’t long before you could not find produce that had not been chemically sprayed, and “organically grown” soon became a thing of the past. Chemical spraying was nothing short of a miracle because it increased production 10 fold. No longer were crops destroyed by insects and/or fungus, nor were yields diminished by weed infiltration. At the time no one considered the implications of these chemicals in our lives and one of the first to recognize this was Dr. Max Gerson who noticed that all the worms in any area that had been chemically sprayed had completely disappeared from that area. This led to his tremendous contribution concerning the concept of chemical toxicity and its relation to disease. This led to the development of the Gerson Therapy treatment.
Today, the term Certified Organic has taken on an air of snobbery, as if the idea of consuming food that has not been chemically sprayed is for the elite and well-bred when in fact it is a practical thing to do to say the least. Why put something in your body that will just need to be removed, the sooner the better. If you don’t remove toxins they can create an environment that is conducive to disease. It is toxins, those substances that do not belong in the body, that disease lives on. We find ourselves in the position of having to spend extra money, certified organic food are ALWAYS more expensive, and sounding like a snob only to get something that was just fine before the government allowed it to be chemically sprayed without knowing what the consequences would be.

I do not believe in magnets for human health. To be clear I do not believe in magnets any more than I believe that 4 + 4 = 8 since it is a fact, as is the fact that magnets, if used properly, have tremendous benefits for the human body. I detailed it in my book, Achieving Great Health. Now those who struggle with negative, melancholic thoughts and feeligns are using magnets to help them. The root of these thoughts and feelings derive from chemical imbalances in the body that are brought on by environmental contamination, ie toxins, and poor diet. I wrote about this in my blog: https://blog.watershed.net/2011/03/09/your-crazy-old-aunt-why-people-get-dementia/
