It's the natural tonic for an ulcer: chlorophyll, the green photosynthetic matter that gives plants their color. Some alternative practitioners believe chlorophyll is very effective in cleansing the intestinal lining and reducing irritation associated with a preulcerous or ulcerous condition. Take a teaspoon of liquid
chlorophyll—available at most health food stores—every day. Or try a daily eight-ounce glass of "green" juices that are high in chlorophyll, such as parsley or spinach juice.

 "Both chlorophyll and hemoglobin are structured around a por-phin ring, which is the building block of both molecules, with the difference being that the core of hemoglobin is iron, whereas the core of chlorophyll is magnesium. Each has its own unique function, and yet both are very similar in that they are the carriers of what gives life—chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis and hemoglobin is the red blood cell that carries oxygen to every cell in the human body."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "One of the most popular is green: A number of readers are enthusiastic about the power of chlorophyll. The deodorant activity of chlorophyll was a popular idea in medicine around the middle of the 20th century, but no recent research supports it.
/ could sympathize with the lady who wrote to you about her daughter's smelly feet. I too suffered but found that when I cut down on sweets and take two chlorophyll tablets daily I no longer have any trouble.

The latest studies indicate that a bacterial infection is at the root of many stomach and many duodenal ulcers, not just excess acid as previously thought." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) |
 "Liquid chlorophyll: Taken from the green pigment in plants, chlorophyll is very similar in chemical structure to human hemoglobin. The difference is that where hemoglobin contains iron, chlorophyll contains magnesium. One of the reasons people drink wheat grass, alfalfa, barley, or spirulina is that these plants contain very high concentrations of chlorophyll and can help to "purify" or cleanse toxins from the bloodstream. Do you remember the chlorophyll gum that was recommended to improve bad breath? Bad breath is usually a sign of a toxic colon, and chlorophyll helps to remove the toxins."- Jennifer Workman, Stop Your Cravings: A Balanced Approach to Burning Fat, Increasing Energy, and Reducing Stress (Get the book.) |

 "Wheat sprouts are the highest in chlorophyll of any plant source. chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, has a molecular structure that is almost identical to that of blood hemoglobin, which is indispensable for transporting oxygen into the cells. The similarity of chlorophyll to hemoglobin has led to the description of chlorophyll as the "blood" of the plant.
Chlorophyll plays an important role in deacidifying the body by oxygenating the tissues, enabling the tissues to oxidize many more weak and volatile acids than normal and eliminate them via respiration."- Christopher Vasey, The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health: Restore Your Health by Creating pH Balance in Your Diet (Get the book.) |
 "Organisms that turn sunlight into ATP—that use the green pigment called chlorophyll to absorb the energy contained in a single photon of light and so convert the chlorophyll into a molecule of adenosine triphosphate—are pho-totrophic; everything else is chemotrophic. Modem chemotrophes, including humans, produce ATP by consuming both organisms that photosynthesize and other chemotrophes: salads and hamburgers. Simple as this seems, it is not the most basic of life's eating plans. Earth's earliest life forms predate photosynthesis by at least hundreds of millions of years."- William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) |
 "The popular breath-freshening gum Clorets capitalized on this connection between chlorophyll and deodorizing, but truth be told, chlorophyll packs a powerful wallop. Some practitioners recommend taking a few capsules or tablets on an empty stomach to support gut health and detoxification. And more fiber in your diet— always a good idea—promotes the elimination of toxins from the body."- Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) |

One way people may get chlorophyll is in parsley. Many people are convinced that eating parsley will counteract bad breath from onions or garlic. Some are also quite sure that parsley can alleviate the stink of smelly feet." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.) |
 "Chlorella (a food algae) is one of the best sources of chlorophyll. It can heal liver toxicity and supply needed minerals to this hardworking organ. It can also soothe bowel tissue, stimulate bowel function, and reduce Candida overgrowth. A typical dose is 100 mg of chlorella daily. Other sources of chlorophyll are barley juice, wheat-grass juice, and spirulina (available at most health food stores).
Eliminating Yeast
As noted above, chlorophyll can be effective against Candida. Several other nutritional supplements have also been shown to be effective in treating candidiasis."- Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac., Alternative Medicine Magazine's Definitive Guide to Sleep Disorders: 7 Smart Ways to Help You Get a Good Night's Rest (Get the book.) |
 "Magnesium is required for chlorophyll to function properly; chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that's necessary for photosynthesis. No magnesium, no plant life. We humans need magnesium for more than three hundred enzymatic reactions, bone formation, and muscle and nerve function, in addition to the job of buffering acid waste from protein digestion.
Here are some problems you may suffer if you have insufficient magnesium:

 "Our own bodies contain a molecule that has a chemical makeup and structure almost identical to chlorophyll's—this is called heme, a component of hemoglobin found in our red blood cells.
Heme and chlorophyll are porphyrins, a type of molecule that binds with certain metals. The major difference between the two is that chlorophyll's central atom is magnesium, while heme's central atom is iron. This similarity is no coincidence, since all life on our planet shares a common thread—DNA. Some plants contain as much as half the same DNA as our own body."- Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.) |
| "In other words, plants are the only source of oxygen on this planet, and because oxygen requires chlorophyll for its production, it follows that we must have chlorophyll for hemoglobin to carry out its function.
All of our food comes from plants or from animals that ate plants, which then creates all of the tissue that makes up our bones, organs, and flesh. Plants can create their tissue directly from sunlight and water, but we must depend on plants for the formation of ours." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "It has been likened to the "blood" of the plant. The chlorophyll molecule is almost identical to the hemoglobin molecule, which is the oxygen carrier in human blood. Therefore, when you eat plants in their living, unheated state, the chlorophyll actually feeds oxygen to your body. Cooked food does not contain this organic type of oxygen. This is why, when you eat lots of greens or drink wheatgrass juice, you immediately feel a surge of energy. Wheatgrass is an especially good source of oxygen."- Susan E.

| "In one of the great ironies of natural-product science, it seems we now have a very large body of data concerning the anticancer, antimutagenic, antioxidant, and potentially life-extending benefits of chlorophyllin processed from chlorophyll, but much less information on the effects of natural chlorophyll itself. For example, chlorophyllin can cross cell membranes, organelle membranes, and blood-brain barriers, while chlorophyll cannot." - Gary Null, Gary Null's Power Aging (Get the book.) |

What is it?
Chondroitin sulfate consists of repeating chains of molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Chondroitin sulfate is a major constituent of cartilage (page 490), providing structure, holding water and nutrients, and allowing other molecules to move through cartilage— an important property, as there is no blood supply to cartilage." - Alan R.

 "Green vegetables also are rich in beta-carotene; the colorful pigments are masked by the green chlorophyll. Some of the other carotenoids that can be converted into retinal include alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin. Some carotenoids that cannot be converted into retinal are lycopene (from tomatoes) and lutein. All carotenoids have antioxidant activity.

"To summarize, magnesium is found in the center of chlorophyll and is needed to relax muscles and to strengthen bones. Sulfur There is more sulfur in the human body than magnesium, sodium, or chloride. The chemical symbol for sulfur is the letter 5. Sulfur is a major mineral that often occurs with other nutrients. Sulfur is part of the important antioxidant glutathione. Sulfur is also an important part of coenzyme A, which is central to energy metabolism.

 "Foods containing chlorophyll have long been known to protect against radiation. Generally speaking, any green foods have chlorophyll. From 1959 to 1961, the Chief of the US Army Nutrition Branch in Chicago found that high-chlorophyll foods reduced the effects of radiation on guinea pigs by 50%. This includes all chlorophyll foods: cabbage, leafy green vegetables, spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, any sprouts, and the blue-green algae from Klamath Lake called Aphanizomenon Flos-aquae (AFA)."- Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.) |
