So, the question is what whole food nutrition is and and why it is so valuable. Whole food nutrition works in a balanced, natural way by giving the body everything it needs to unleash its own powerful self healing abilities. Since whole foods are created by nature, all of their parts work together to build up the body’s health from the inside out. This is very different from isolated nutrients or from medicines which target one specific symptom and do not benefit the overall health of the body.

As for vitamin and mineral supplements, they are often synthetic and our bodies do not even recognize them as food. Reports of portable toilet maintenance personnel reveal that vast numbers of supplements pass through the digestive tract intact. They even tell of being able to read the brand names on the synthetic supplements.

Aphanizomenon flos aquae (AFA), a wild-grown species of blue green algae, is considered to be  one of the best whole food sources. Farming practices of the last 100 years have resulted in depleted soils and nutritionally empty food. Blue green algae, on the other hand, is a natural, whole food containing more than 70 micro-nutrients necessary for vibrant health. It grows like blades of grass in a mineral-rich, freshwater lake in southern Oregon. It’s harvested wild and immediately frozen, retaining 97% of its nutrients. It’s available in capsules, tablets, and powder.

AFA provides us with nutrients no longer contained in our every day food due to effects of soil depletion, over-processing, etc. When nutritional gaps are met, our bodies naturally shift to a higher level of functioning.

Among the commonly reported benefits are:

  • Increased Energy
  • Sounder Sleep
  • Natural Weight Control
  • Stronger Immune System     Improved Digestion
  • Better Concentration and Mood
  • A Sense of Well-Being
  • Enhanced Mental Clarity
  • Improved Athletic Performance

As a matter of fact, there is no no other food on the market today which is tested as extensively as Blue Green Algae. It is usually tested far beyond governmental requirements by several independent internationally certified and recognized labs as well as the in-house Research and Development Team. This is one of the purest foods you could put in your body.

It is possible to buy algae at a health food store. There are several companies that now harvest algae from Upper Klamath Lake.

Still algae can not be fully safe for everybody. For example, women who are already pregnant are advised to wait. The simple reason: there are so many changes in a woman’s body during pregnancy that making significant dietary changes is not a good idea.
