Spirulina is often considered the most complete food of all and has countless uses as a dietary supplement for maintaining good health and preventing disease. This is due to the fact that it contains an abundance of important nutrients and antioxidants, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A and K, as well as the B vitamins. It is also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids, and lipids. Spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a compound found in breast milk that helps babies develop healthier.
Nutritional benefits of spirulina
The best source of beta-carotene
Spirulina is extremely rich in carotenoids such as beta-carotene and yellow xanthophylls. In fact, it is the food with the highest beta-carotene content. The concentration of beta-carotene in spirulina is ten times higher than in carrots.
Rich in iron
Iron is vital for building a strong immune system, but it is also one of the most common mineral deficiencies (zinc is the most common). Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium, and trace elements, and its absorption is better than that of regular iron supplements. Ten grams of spirulina can provide up to 70% of the minimum daily requirement of iron.
Exceptional protein content
About 60% of spirulina's dry weight is protein, which in this form is essential for cell growth and regeneration. It is an excellent substitute for fatty meat and dairy products.
Healing effects of spirulina
Supports beneficial intestinal flora
Spirulina suppresses harmful bacteria like E. coli and stimulates beneficial flora like lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the digestive tract, supporting healthy digestion and proper bowel function. Healthy gut flora is one of the pillars of good health – it increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and protects against infections.
Detoxifying effect
Spirulina contains a unique composition of phytonutrients, including chlorophyll, phycocyanin and polysaccharides, which help to cleanse the body of toxins. In 1994, a patent was issued in Russia for the medical use of spirulina as a means of reducing allergic reactions in radiation sickness. This is the result of a study with 270 children from Chernobyl, who took 5 grams daily for 45 days - radionuclides were reduced by 50%, and allergic reactions normalized.
Extremely important for the removal of heavy metals
Spirulina is essential for removing heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, lead, cadmium, and toxic copper from the liver, reproductive system, intestines, thyroid, and brain. Removing these metals also removes the main “food source” for viruses that are behind many chronic diseases and symptoms, including autoimmune ones.
If you start taking Healer Medium’s “Heavy Metal Detox Smoothies” , its ingredients – barley grass juice powder , spirulina , coriander, wild blueberries and Atlantic dulse , represent the most effective method for removing heavy metals. Each of these foods has its own unique power and plays a specific role in the detoxification process. See also the recipe for “Advanced Heavy Metal Detox Smoothies” .
During the process, metals can be “released” back into the organs, and then another “player” takes over and continues to remove them. It’s like “passing the ball.” Individually, each food is not completely effective, but together they are your secret weapon against heavy metals.
Useful for all chronic diseases and symptoms
Spirulina is a valuable dietary supplement for anyone with a chronic illness or symptom, as well as for those who want to protect themselves from future problems. As described in the books “The Healer Medium – Revised and Expanded Edition” , “The Healer Medium: Thyroid Healing” and “The Healer Medium: Liver Help” , spirulina:
- Restores brain tissue and strengthens the central nervous system.
- Stabilizes blood glucose levels.
- Provides vital trace elements for the thyroid gland and endocrine system.
- Removes heavy metals and other toxins from the liver, intestines, brain, nervous system and thyroid gland.
- It stimulates the growth of new neurons and strengthens neurotransmitters.
- It contains high levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and chromium, which strengthen the adrenal glands.
- Over time, it helps eliminate radioactive iodine from the thyroid gland, restoring its balanced function.
- It contains iodine, which acts as an antiseptic against the Epstein-Barr virus (a cause of thyroid problems).
- It can reduce the growth of nodules, tumors, and cysts (both malignant and benign).
- Stops viral and bacterial growth in the liver.
- It strengthens the liver's immune system and supports its over 2,000 chemical functions.
- It helps store glucose and convert proteins in the liver.
The athlete's best friend
Spirulina increases endurance in athletes, and its rich content of nutrients and easily digestible protein helps build muscle mass. It also suppresses hunger that can occur during intense training and helps maintain optimal weight.
Other potential benefits
- Supports eye health.
- Slows down the aging process.
- Protects against infections.
- Improves digestive health.
- Increases the absorption of nutrients from food.
- Eliminates mercury and other toxins from the body.
