I love going away for a bit and coming back to see this thread blow up even more!
Ok so I couldn't wait for my source naturals powder to get here so I went out and got some Sun chlorella pills to tide me over. I have a rheumatology appointment coming up later this month and I want to show at least the slightest progress so I can hopefully prove to my rheumy that conventional meds aren't the only thing that works. He is a non believer. Only thing I have experienced so far is bloating and restless sleeping-I am tossing and turning a lot now. No energy for me yet but I suspect my body has a lot of toxins to get rid of from my normal meds alone!
Ladies I also want to add: I use to get multi vitamin injections at my docs office because I was depleted in everything and she said that since I was so depleted taking regular vits just wasn't gonna cut it until my levels were back to normal. I needed it to go straight into the bloodstream so nothing was lost in the gut. Anyways I would go every week and because of something in the concoction I got a warm sensation in my body as she injected. The longer it took me to feel this warm sensation the more depleted my body was of vitamins and minerals. Eventually after about a month and a half (6 injections) I began to feel it right away because my levels were back to normal.
I said all that to say if you don't experience the wonderful side effects right away it could be because it is taking the nutrients to where your body really needs it (internal organs, cells, etc.) and the hair and nails is one of the last things your body thinks about nourishing when something else is undernourished. The body is really good at prioritizing. If you don't see longer hair and nails right away and you don't have the best diet don't get discouraged give it time. It could be that your body is filling a need elsewhere and when that's done it will move right along and you will see the results. The good thing is that chlorella works FAST and even if you don't see it in a week you will see it soon if you are consistent. Those who see it quickly most likely already have a pretty healthy diet. Like LD has said she eats well and has already done a detox so she is reaping the benefits quickly because of her healthy choices before hand. HTH
