Chlorella and Spirulina cancer treatment

According to Dr. Josh Axe, “chlorella is a blue-green algae like its cousin spirulina. Studies have theorized that chlorella benefits the entire body by supporting healthy hormonal function, promoting cardiovascular health, helping to negate the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and aiding in the detoxification of our bodies.

A 1-ounce serving of chlorella contains:

• Protein—16g
• Vitamin A—287% RDA
• Vitamin B2—71% RDA
• Vitamin B3—33% RDA
• Iron—202% RDA
• Magnesium—22% RDA
• Zinc—133% RDA

In addition, chlorella contains a good amount of vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and phosphorus. (1)

For a cancer patient, since these are foods, not supplements, a person might think that there is no limit to how much you can take. That is not true. Chlorella, and perhaps spirulina as well contains vitamin K, which can cause the blood to clot.
