People taking Spirulina report finding relief from arthritis and other painful conditions, seeing improvement in skin conditions, feeling more energetic, losing weight, and generally experiencing an increased sense of well-being.
Here are some excerpts from letters that were sent to the offices of the manufacturer, Cyanotech in Hawaii. While these are not scientific studies, they do show how people feel a difference in their health when using Spirulina.
Arthritic Condition: Reiters Syndrome
I just wanted to let you know how Spirulina changed my life. Two and a half years ago, when I was 29, I developed a painful arthritic condition known as Reiter's Syndrome. My doctor gave me a prescription drug which only upset my stomach and gave me vertigo. By this time, I was finding it difficult to sleep, let alone walk, and I was forced to quit my job. Then my doctor gave me another prescription drug which brought me some relief during the acute stage. The main drawback, besides its exorbitant price, was that it was very hard on my stomach. I spent the next six months in a state of nausea. I was able to walk short distances but it still hurt like hell.Then one day a friend gave me some Spirulina; after a few days something wonderful happened – I realized I had no pain. I didn't attribute it to the Spirulina, however – I thought it was a natural occurrence. After a few weeks, I ran out of Spirulina, and sure enough, those nagging aches began to return. After a few painful days, I finally hit myself on the head and said, "It was the Spirulina!"
Since that day, about 6 months ago, I've never been without Spirulina. Not only has my arthritis disappeared, my overall mental and physical state is better. Thanks to Spirulina, I wake up each morning feeling fine and able to do things I was afraid I would never be able to do again. What can I say? Spirulina is the greatest! (M. Simon, Fullerton, CA)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
These wonderful tablets gave me back my strength. I suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I will never quit taking your tablets. (H. Nowak,Helen, GA)Energy/Resistance to Illness
I seem to be more energetic. I have better resistance to illness—it boosts my immune system. (Carlene Kreetlove, Mazomani, WI)Eyesight/Skin/Menstrual Pains
Spirulina in tablets and powder has helped me and my family a lot. My eyesight has recovered from blurred vision. I have very tight sleep. Most of my pimples are gone and my face became more beautiful, not only because of moothskin, but my eyes sparkle and dark spots around my eyes are gone. My menstruation pains are totally gone also. I feel really better. Thanks to Spirulina and God for such a wonderful discovery. (Ellen Dimabayao, Los Angeles, CA)Body Pains
This is an excellent product which has put the desire to live back in me. Before I started the tablets I was so iserable with pain of all kinds all over my body, shooting pains, tired pain in my hip, aches in my calves. I am now improved so that I can exercise, which is also good for me. My diet has not changed much nor my dication for diabetes and hypertension. However, my feeling is vastly different. I have told many others and started my two sisters and a fellow worker on it. I hope they are helped by it too, although mine was an extreme case which medical doctors and chiropractors couldn't seem to help. (M. Honmyo, Seattle, WA)Energy/Appetite Suppressant/Mental & Cognitive
I am a Nutritional Health Advisor, Chef, Yoga Practitioner and Teacher, 50 Drummer and Writer. In over ten years of veganism I have tried many brands of Spirulina and Nutrex [Hawaiian] is by far the freshest and most potent form available on the market today. This has been confirmed by many nutritionist and scientist colleagues of mine. As a raw and living foodist, I consume Spirulina almost every day and it is one of my main sources of protein. I will never forget the first time I tried Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina; I had boundless energy, my appetite decreased and I finally felt like my brain was functioning adequately. This product has increased my mental and cognitive capacities remarkably! If you want to understand what is meant by the statement “we use less than 2% of our brain,” try this product and you will feel yourself accessing the remaining 98%. (Shanti Devi Michal, New York City)Dark Spots on Face
A couple of months before I started taking Spirulina, my doctor warned me to watch a couple of dark spots on my face. These spots were presumably caused by sun exposure damaging my skin. After my wife saw Spirulina ommended by a news letter, we both added it to our diet. To my delight the spots on my face got smaller and disappeared after just a few months. (Emil Eastburn, Westford, MA)Leg Pain
I am seventy years of age. At the time [I started taking Spirulina tablets] I was having severe pain in my knees and legs, which became much worse when I would lay down. I couldn't kneel and had difficulty even bending my knees. Now I am able to bend my knees and even do knee bends. I am very happy to say I no longer have the pains in my knees. I am so happy to have discovered these miracle tablets. I feel so much better, not only with my knees and legs, but also in my general health. (N. Behling, Palm Bay, FL)Internal Hemorrhoids
My husband has internal hemorrhoids and Spirulina has controlled them remarkably. (Paula Cramer, Salt Lake City, UT)Energy/Mental Acuity/Immune System
I have a higher level of energy and mental acuity. It appears to strengthen my immune system. (Pete Bauer, Mazomani, WI)Neck Pain
Several years ago, I took [a prescription drug] for severe neck pain. I stopped taking it when my sister told me about Spirulina. I seldom have any discomfort in this area now. [The prescription drug] was not nearly as effective as Spirulina. (N. Hawkins, Indio, CA)Pre-Menstrual Syndrome/Appetite Suppressant
Nutrex Spirulina [Hawaiian] has been like a miracle cure for the severe PMS symptoms I suffered with for years. It’s helped to ease tension and insomnia. Also it has acted as an appetite suppressant. I am very grateful. Thanks. (Victoria Yiannatsis, Rehoboth Beach, DE)Arthritis/Energy
I am a 63 year old woman, have always been very active, and still have a cleaning service where I do a lot of the work myself. I've known for several years that I have the telltale signs of arthritis, the swollen joints in my fingers and a very tender lump on one of my knuckles. I was beginning to think I would have to give up my business as I was in so much pain, especially in my hands. Also, my ankles made a cracking noise when I walked. A friend of mine told me about Spirulina and I thought, well I might as well give it a try. After taking Spirulina for three weeks, the first thing I noticed was that all the soreness and pain were gone from my hands and that my ankles didn't make a noise when I walked. After my second bottle, I could work eight and ten hours straight and still no pain. I was out of Spirulina after my third bottle and after two weeks the soreness and pain had returned. After starting back on Spirulina, within four days all the swelling and pain are gone. I have more energy and just feel better all over. I've stopped taking all my other vitamins. moning and three at bedtime works best for me. I've recommended Spirulina to several of my friends and family members who are now taking it with positive results. I know for myself I don't want to be without Spirulina again. (A. Walls, Melbourne, FL)Strength/Energy
I wish to tell you how much I appreciate the introduction to your Spirulina. I first became aware of the product when I asked a neighbor what her secret was in keeping in such good shape and how she gets so much energy. She told me that she had eaten your Spirulina for one year, and gets the energy from this product. I was at that time in the process of moving, and was afraid, by doing all the work myself, I would hurt myself again, especially my shoulders (bursitis), and back (old age, I guess). I am 59 years old. I started to eat 6 Spirulina tablets daily, two weeks before moving. Needless to say, I got through all with flying colors, experienced strength I had not known for a long time. Thank you for making this product available to me. I feel younger, better, stronger, can work better with more energy. I am recommending your Spirulina to my friends, and for a good deed, I get them started with a first supply. (E. Corderoy, Hilo, HI)Resistance to Colds/Energy/Pain
I have been taking Spirulina for six months. Mostly six tablets a day, sometimes more. I started taking your Spirulina when I had a painful condition in my right knee from what I thought was arthritis. Within two weeks, I had no pain left. It also gave me so much energy. I have not been hungry between meals. I also noticed that I do not get colds and that during the flu season, even though I was in contact with my family who did have the flu, I did not get it. I know that when I forget to take Spirulina my symptoms returned. I know this natural product is from God. I recommend it to anyone. Thank you. (C.B. Lang, lndiatlantic, FL)Arthritis
I am 64 years of age and have had a bone density test. They determined I have arthritis in two vertebrae, pelvic bone, and knee joint. I was in so much pain it was hard to walk any distance and had trouble sleeping, as I would wake with severe pain in my entire right leg. When I first heard about Spirulina I did not think it would work but I was willing to give it a try. After three weeks, I can now walk two miles without pain. I thank God for Spirulina and for Clara who told me about it. (L. Enmon,Ontario, Canada)Stamina/Energy
I feel better in the mornings and have more stamina and energy. (D. Waki, Wailuku, HI)Cancer/Macular Degeneration/Pain
When I was 65, I had a routine physical exam and blood test at the VA Hospital in Honolulu. A few days later the doctor called me and said something seemed wrong with my blood. He was sending the sample to the military hospital (the Tripler Army Hospital and Medical Center). I became scared. After that the doctors sent me for more tests at the oncology department blood lab. They took ten blood samples during three days of tests, including bone scans. These tests were sent for analysis and profiles on the blood plasma cells. They found too many antibodies and too much protein in the blood. The tests, the doctors said, meant that I had multiple myeloma. He said to me, “I’ve got bad news, this is cancer of the blood and there is no cure for it. You will be dead in four months.”I not only felt rotten by this time because of the diagnosis, I just felt rotten in my body. I looked like a scarecrow. I had lost lots of weight. I often felt like keeling over when I was standing. I had no energy. During this time I had to go to Honolulu every month for analysis and treatment. I did that for about a year. The doctor had not started me on chemotherapy in the first few months. I had heard of wheatgrass and the effects its high content of chlorophyll had on the blood. I had started taking wheat grass juice very early after my diagnosis. I drank at least two, eight ounce glasses a day for almost a year. I even grew the wheatgrass myself.Tests showed that my health condition sort of maintained itself during the wheatgrass time, but I still felt rotten. I prayed every day. My tests involved bone lesions, nuclear isotope bone scans, and all during the later six months he kept testing my blood, weight, and more blood tests. The protein levels and antibodies had stabilized, and the myeloma was not progressing. And I wasn’t dead. The doc said I didn’t need any chemo right now. By this time, I had given up on wheatgrass, and for three months had been taking Spirulina. I started taking six tablets a day, but that didn’t seem right, so I took ten per day. Ten made me feel stronger, less nervous, and I began to feel more relaxed. I was physically stronger.
I think the Spirulina was working because of its whole food aspects: The vitamin B complex, the proteins, the essential amino acids, and the chlorophyll. The rotten feeling I had in my body never came back after I started taking Spirulina. I started gaining weight back. I feel like a 25 year old, and I am 70! I think Spirulina cures and prevents cancer. It is a wonderful supplement for anything. Chlorophyll helps clean out the arteries, and Spirulina is very high in chlorophyll. It is grown in such intense sun. I felt so good about Spirulina that when a friend of ours for over twenty years began to have constant pain, I had to tell her about it. This friend is 80 years old, the wife of a probate judge. She began to have constant pain in all her muscles and she couldn’t sleep. She saw four different doctors, but they could not figure it out. Each time we saw her, she was worse. I told her she should take Spirulina, and about the story of taking ten tablets a day. She started taking the dosage. In one month she gained ten pounds. I asked her how she felt, and she said she felt young again. She no longer sat with her arms folded up or walked hunched over. Her husband started taking Spirulina, and he feels much better too. I feel the Spirulina saved her from a lot of pain and made the quality of her life better. One more health benefit from Spirulina: For ten years I was going to the Vitreoretinal Foundation in Tennessee for my eyes. I had a cataract removed ten years ago and had a retinal tear and laser treatment. Then three years ago I had a diagnosis of macular degeneration. I would see telephone polls with a crook in them. My center vision was faded. I had tunnel vision. The doctors said it couldnot be stopped; there is no cure. During the time I had been taking Spirulina, and three years after the iagnosis, I had my eyes reexamined for a determination of the health of the retinal cells. The doctor looked it over and then he said, “Amazing! Your retina is not worse. In fact, it’s better.” I can now see poles with no center vision problems. I attribute the regeneration of my macular cells to Spirulina. (David Schrieber, Keaau, HI)
