Spiralina Brightens Our Fish!

Carol writes:

I am so amazed by this food. Yes it brighten up our fishtank colors in three days, and I began to remember I read about it years ago. Like most people, i had heard about spiralina, or blue-green algea for many years. But like most too, I heard it was sold thru an MLM, so I was skeptical that it had any value what so ever, and wrong....it's not sold ONLY thru MLM. You can find it at your SunHarvest or Whole Foods, or call me, and I'll help you get some....

Here's the scoop:



There are over forty thousand–yes, someone has actually counted them–types of single-celled microalgae which need only a drop of water and a sunbeam to make them prosper. But among those forty thousand varieties of little water-loving organisms, one species is clearly making the largest nutritional splash.
Weighing in at an impressive 60% protein content, Spirulina is a fresh water alga–actually, a form of bacteria–which knocks both red meat, at 27%, and soy, at 34%, on the ropes in terms of muscle-building potential. And it brings to the ring, along with all that protein, a powerful combination of minerals, including iron, calcium, and magnesium, with a backup punch of all the vitamins to which the first five letters of the alphabet have been assigned. If only Spirulina were bigger; it might have been able to fit all the vitamins in. But a single Spirulina alga measures approximately .0196850394 inches in length.
If Spirulina wanted to get bigger, however, it probably could. How? By eating its relatives. The Chinese add Spirulina to the diets of commercially produced poultry and livestock to increase their growth rates.
Another growth rate which has definitely increased because of Spirulina is that of the Spirulina commercialization industry, which began with annual harvests of around one hundred tons in the 1970s. By the year 2020, according to BioNat.net, worldwide Spirulina production is expected to reach 220,000 tons.
The most avid believers in the health benefits of Spirulina are the Japanese, who both produce and consume more of it than anyone else. Some Japanese researchers claim that Spirulina, because of the high concentration of its nutrients, is useful in helping diabetics control their food cravings and decrease their insulin intake.
The only potential black marks against Spirulina are its expense and the possibility that its high protein, vitamin, and mineral, according to the Hong Kong Dietitian Association, could cause kidney and liver problems. Excessive protein intake can overload the kidneys; too many vitamins and minerals, the liver. Spirulina, if the Hong Kong experts are to be believed, can be too much of a good thing.
And, when France started its research on Spirulina in the 1970s, global scientists were looking at it as the inexpensive answer to the ages-old question of how to feed a protein-starved Third World.
Today commercially produced Spirulina powders and pills sell at health food stores for the equivalent of about $50 per pound, or some ten times what it costs to grow and harvest. The Third World is still waiting.

(It has been brought to my attention that some have questioned whether Spirulina contains vitamins B12 and D. I have cross checked my original source with this Ask Alice article at the Health Services at Colombia University website. I hope this clears up any confusion.)

Blocked?

Until we enter that zone, we are blocked, for God cannot do in us what he cannot do thru us.

To say he has the solutions for our problems is to say he has a plan for the changes each of us need to go thru in order to become the people thru whom he can bring forth the solutions.
The most important factor for determining what will happen in our world is what you decide to let happen within you.
Every circumstance -- no matter how painful -- is a gauntlet thrown down by the universe, challenging us to become who we are capable of being. Our task, for our own sakes, and for the sake of the entire world, is to do so.

Yet for us to become who we most deeply want to be - we must look at who we are now- even when we don't see doesn't please us. This moment is driving us to face every issue we have ever avoided facing, compelling us to get to some rock-bottom, essential truth about ourselves whether we like what we see there or not.

And until we make the breakthrough in ourselves, there will be no fundamental breakthru in the world. The world we see reflects the people we've become, and if we do not like what we see in the world, we must face what we don't like in ourselves. Having done so, we will move thru our personal darkness to the light that lies beyond. We will embrace the light and extend the light.

And as we change, the world will change with us...
