Selenium Chelate was upgraded with Detox Green- Powder and Iodine Just 200 MCG. of Selenium a day may reduce cancer risk by 50% In an article taken from Julian Whitaker's Health & Healing®, Vol. 7, No. 2,1997, Dr. Whitaker explains that selenium appears to have several anti-cancer activities: |
|
• Selenium is a wonderful antioxidant protecting cells from free radical damage.
• But it also helps cellular DNA repair which may help prevent carcinogenesis.
• Most importantly, selenium initiates apoptosis, which means that cancer cells may die before they have a chance to reproduce.
"Since 1969, it has been known that the blood levels Of cancer patients are low in selenium. In general, cancer patients with lower than-average selenium levels have a greater number Of primary tumors, more reoccurrences, more distant metastases (tumors that have spread to distant parts of the body), and a shortened survival time. In a study of 12,000 people conducted in Finland, the risk of fatal cancer in people with the lowest levels of serum selenium was nearly six times higher than that in people with the highest selenium concentrations.”
S. Lieberman, Ph. D and N. Bruning; The Real Vitamin & Mineral Book; Second Edition. Avery Publishing Group, New York, 1997; page 172.
Over 1300 patients with a history of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma were studied for 8 years while some were given 200 mcg. of selenium per day. Although there was no significant effect on the incidence of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma, there was a significant reduction in cancer mortality, including:
LUNG -45%, COLO -RECTAL -58% PROSTATE -63%.

Is Chlorella a Selenium Synergist?

Chlorella provides: o 50- 60% of high quality proteins (19 amino acids) o 17 times higher in RNA than sardines, (Sardines provide the highest animal source of RNA.) o 4 times more chlorophyll than spirulina o A non. Animal source of B-12 o Chlorella has been the top selling food supplement in Japan for years |
Bernard Jensen, DC, Ph.D., a world investigator of nutritional and holistic therapies, has been a great advocate of Chlorella for years and helped popularize it in the US. This tiny green micro-algae is about the size of a human red blood cell. It was extensively researched in Japan and being a highly nutritious, condensed whole food, it was considered as "space food for the space programs in the US & USSR.
Chlorella is loaded with macro and micronutrients and we cannot possibly do justice to it in this brief description. It is a whole food and should be recommended in quantities of a few grams per day for maximum benefits.
The role of Chlorella in selenium, Chelate is primarily as a selenium synergist.
Like selenium, Chlorella was reported to offer anti-cancer properties as well as immune enhancing benefits (1,2). The chlorella cell wall was discovered to bind with toxins like PCB, DDT, lead, cadmium, mercury and
Uranium then remove them from the body (1,2)
Studies on rainbow trout with the powerful toxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 ), which is believed to be associated with liver cancer in large population groups in developing countries, demonstrated that chlorophyll (which is found in abundance in chlorella) was a protective agent when fed to the trout along with AFB1 (3)
Perhaps the most fascinating property of chlorella is its growth factor (CGF) to which Japanese researchers attributed the benefits of enhanced tissue repair and regeneration (1,2).

“ALGIN (made from brown Pacific kelp), or sodium alginate, has been shown to help excrete lead from the
body. Algin is a chelating agent which moves through the intestinal tract without being absorbed. It attaches to the lead and carries it out as it leaves the body" (4). "Among the various kinds of pectin, apple pectin exerts a bacteriostatic action and therefore may change the composition of the intestinal flora. The diet supplemented with 20% apple pectin significantly decreased the number and the incidence of AOM-induced colon tumors in rats. |

Fecal beta-glucuronidase activity was significantly lower in the group fed pectin. The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) level in the distal colonic mucosa and blood of portal vein was lower in rats fed 20% pectin than those fed the basal diet. The ability of apple pectin to decrease PGE2 was dose-dependent, and those results suggest an antinflammatory effect in the bowel. Rats fed apple pectin showed a significantly lower incidence of hepatic metastasis than those fed the basal diet." (5)
“In the ... study the fermentation of gum arabic and apple pectin resulted in a greater short chain fatty acid
production than did fermentation” of either oat fiber or corn fiber." (6)
"Pectin, gum arabic, and guar gum tend to be excellent sources for fermentation by human colonic bacteria. Oat hull fiber is almost completely resistant to degradation. Human flora had a hard time degrading com bran fiber." (6)
