Question
Tonja
Do you know anything about this?
If you believe what is on the web,it will cure everything and restore youth!
I bought some and I admit I have more energy and my blood pressure is went down.My digestion has improved too.
However,for the first few days I has getting periods of nausea-it felt like a stomach flu.Apparently ,this is a signal that toxins are being drawn out of your body?!
Also,recommended dosage varies wildly,some people calling for three pills a day,and some for 25 pills a day for three months.
Any help appreciated!


Answer
Chlorella is a powerful detoxification aid for heavy metals and other pesticides. It is probaby pushing some things out of the liver.  What you are experiencing is called a healing crisis. I would just not take as much for a few days and build up and allow the body to detox a little slower.  The body may just be dumping toxins faster than is comfortable for you.
