Spirulina - great website. very useful info

http://www.spirulina.co.th/question/eng.php

just one snippet:

Dr. Iwao Tanabe, Psychologist and intern doctor, Denensofu Nursing Home
“Spirulina and treatment of hair loss”
Spirulina was brought to the patients 6 tablets a day. The symptom was gradually recovered within 9 weeks, and the newborn hair became blacken in the 10th week.

Yes, loaded with good info. What I found interesting are the numerous side effects

Fever or mild fever
Protein in spirulina and other nutrient would activate body to emit heat, which increase body temperature to build up new cells

Fever,alert and sleepless
Caused by the biotransformation of excess fat of body to heat
Black or green feces The green color is caused by green pigment in spirulina.

Stomachache
Abnormal digestive system, wound in the bladder

Difficult breathing
Gout, uric acid, asthma, allergic

Drowsy, exhaustive hands and legs
Urine is in alkaline condition, liver failure, gout

Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, hiccup
Found in nutrient-lacking person, take too much dietary medicine

Small pimple, rash on skin, drowsy
Resulted from detoxification process, allergic or abnormal function of liver

Cold, flu, sore throat
Resulted from dispersion of virus and bacteria through body

Irregular menstruation
Occurred while body is under hormone-balancing process and repairing new cells

Catarrh, asthma, productive cough
Malfunction of respiration system, increase immunity and get rid off virus

Bloating from too much gas
Malfunction of renal, peptic ulcer, abnormal digestive system

Nosebleed Anemia, sinus, weak and small blood vessel

Rectum pain or irritated, bleeding through rectum
Hemorrhoids, detoxification, accumulation of virus and bacteria

No reaction
Body is almost healthy in case of continuous eating spirulina or otherwise less eating spirulina

I wonder if those side effects come from spirulina that’s not certified organic. Lots of toxin in that stuff.

If you read Col’s link, they talked about the side effects being an indication of your internal problems. That’s probably what Spirulina does, it kicks the toxins out of your body so they manifest into all these side effects.

I am not planning to, it sounds like I might need to take a few days off and stay home just to recoup after taking the stuff. Work is very busy these days, I cant afford any downtime. Maybe later this year. I am more interested in the more gentle liver cleanse or colon cleanse, nothing that turns your body upside down.

Hang on.

I take Spirulina in tablet form… sometimes 6, 8 or 10 per day. Whilst I do not take it consistently I have not noticed any bad side effects as a result. After all what we are talking about here are vitamins, minerals and proteins.

I am going to order some more and begin taking them, 12 per day to see what IF any kind of results I get.

thomas75,
I think those side effects are worse case scenario. I never had any of those side effects. It also probably depends how much you take.

So,
You might want to buy certified organic spirulina powder instead. It’ll be much cleaner and tablets don’t always get digested very well.
