Phytoplankton are microscopic plants that live in the ocean.
There are many species of phytoplankton, each of which has a
characteristic shape. Collectively, phytoplankton grow
abundantly in oceans around the world and are the foundation of
the marine food chain. Small fish, and some species of whales,
eat them as food. Larger fish then eat the smaller fish. Humans
catch and eat many of these larger fish. Since phytoplankton
depend upon certain conditions for growth, they are a good
indicator of change in their environment. For these reasons, and
because they also exert a global-scale influence on climate,
phytoplankton are of primary interest to oceanographers and
Earth scientists around the world.
Phyto means Light and Plankton means Floating/Suspended.
Scientists at NASA theorize that some 3 1/2 billion years ago,
the world was changed forever. The appearance of tiny organisms
with the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals
into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and amino acids marked the
beginning of life. Phytoplankton, the single-cell plants are the
basis of all other life forms on planet earth, they are the
'vegetation' of the ocean. Phytoplankton are responsible for
making up to 90% of Earth's oxygen. Phytoplankton are the food
utilized by some of the world's largest and longest living
animals and fish. Blue Whales, humpbacks, baleen whales and more
all eat plankton and live between 80-150 years while maintaining
great strength and endurance and are sexually active until they
die.
Plankton have an alkaline pH, which is important, given the
acidity of our diets high in refined sugars, soda pop, and
farmed large animals. The high density of nutrients found in
algae is extremely important for many reasons. Perhaps the most
important (as noted above) is that these nutrients maintain
human cell membranes in structure and function. This is vital
for cell detoxification, and for the overall metabolism of human
cells. In fact, the causes of diseases have been simplified to
very specific mechanisms, all of which center on cell membrane
function and structure. Inflammation, Oxidation, Toxicity, and
Mitochondrial dysfunction keep cell membranes from doing their
job effectively. Algae contain high levels of antioxidants, and
anti-inflammatory micronutrients to fuel metabolism and
detoxification. Also, they stoke the fires of the Mitochondria,
where cells make energy required to carry out their function. Of
course, photosynthesis is the mechanism whereby plants in
general and algae in particular, harness life-sustaining solar
energy. (J. Applied Phycology 1993;5:235.).
Dr. Robert Rowe Ph.D. - "...Our beliefs are even
responsible for our genetic makeup. Your genes will change
to meet your beliefs. To understand this concept better,
read the book
Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton. There is a lot of
solid scientific evidence to show that, on the smallest
level, we are actually made up of light and energy, which we
have at least some control over. And when we look at our
world from this viewpoint, there is so much more to see and
understand about its complexity, and it gives us more power
over our destiny.
Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. -
"One of those rare
products that contains almost everything you need for life
(and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is phytoplankton. It
contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and
must be consumed in our diet (essential amino acids). The
essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega
6). Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82
(riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86
(pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and
major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton.
In short, it contains almost everything one needs to sustain
life. Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs to
restore health by providing the raw materials to make new
cells that function normally. This is particularly true if
one stops putting toxic materials such as artificial
sweeteners and trans fats (partially hydrogenated fats) into
our body."
Glyconutrients
Marine Phytoplankton is a rich source of
glyconutrients which play an important role in
good cell-to-cell communication. "Most of
the Nobel prizes in Medicine and Biology have been awarded
to the concept of “cell communication,” which is how
our 100 trillion cells get their metabolic function
coordinated (J. Science, November 26th, 2004.) They do this
through a system of “messages,” which are well-known
molecules like hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, etc.
They form a vast network of communication, which should have
never been separated into different components. The Psycho-Neuro-Immune-Endocrine
system of cell communication to coordinate our metabolism is
now considered to be the cornerstone of health and function
in cutting edge research" Dr. Hugo Rodier (“The
intricate interface between the immune system and
metabolism,” J. Trends in Immunology 2004;25:193.)
Marine Phytoplankton contain many elements available no
where else. You may have heard of fresh water phytoplankton
like Spirulina and Chlorella. These algae also have many
health benefits, however, with the 200+ separate species of
marine phytoplankton, their nutritional profile is second to
none!
Phytoplankton Making History For Mankind
by Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD
There are two basic theories of
how to get people with chronic disease well and keep
them that way. One is that we must find a drug
that will substitute for a broken “gear” in the body
or to repair the “gears” mechanically (surgery).
The other is to give the body the things it needs to
manufacture new cells and let it heal itself.
For those wishing to support the
latter theory, it has been difficult to determine
what is actually needed to make new cells. People
are always saying things like they have a new herb
from Africa, or a fruit from China that will
magically heal everything. Such findings are often
useful for some but not predictable for most.
My feeling has always been that our Heavenly Father
would not design a body that requires unusual
potions from far-away places to make us healthy.
The elements and electrolytes in
plankton are almost tailor-made for the human body.
It's no coincidence that the composition of human
plasma is similar to that of seawater. We arose from
the sea and our internal bodies reflect this.
Over-reliance on land-based food sources often leads
to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace
elements. Our bodies need these elements to
perform as nature intended. Left to its own devices,
the human body has a marvelous system called
homeostasis which keeps all systems in balance. Take
away some critical component and the body
experiences malfunctions that cause suboptimal
performance. Too many malfunctions cause disease.
Phytonutrients exhibit potentially promising effects
in human physiology.
There are few products that
provide all, or even most, essential amino acids,
more Omega 3's than fish oil, Vitamin A, Selenium,
Iodine and others than marine phytoplankton. It may
be no coincidence that the composition of human
plasma is similar to sea water. With our
over-reliance on land based food sources, we have
developed deficiencies in micronutrients and trace
elements. The nutritional properties from the algae
contain over 200 species of marine phytoplankton on
land. This allows for a unique blend of
phytonutrients which promote proper metabolic
functions.

Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D. - "Sea plants can
transform your health. There are many reasons why I
recommend sea vegetables as part of my healing
programs -- weight loss, cellulite control,
detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more.
Sea vegetables (phytoplankton) can transform your
health! I believe that when we eat sea vegetables,
and when we take seaweed baths, we are tapping into
the ancestral and restorative source of all life-
the ocean. Include sea vegetables into your diet
every day and you 'll see a difference. I do! Sea
plants -- gifts from the sea!"
Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD
- "While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be
forgiven, a constant diet lacking in micronutrients
will adversely affect every function, structure, and
detoxification functions of the human cell. Good
nutrition will enhance the structure and function of
all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles,
hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair,
hormones, immune system, vision, digestion, kidneys,
liver will carry out their jobs much better.
Metabolically, our lipids, and sugars can be
optimized, thus providing more overall energy,
minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These
nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They
reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and
mood swings."
Containing a wide range of trace
elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals,
chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials,
marine phytoplankton
promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting
and supporting all systems within the body. When the
body is missing critical components, it is unable
to maintain the balance of these systems, and
malfunctions (disease) result. Overdependence on
land-based food sources often lead to deficiencies
in micronutrients and trace elements. The
phytoplankton are Nature's gift to assist us on our
journey to optimal health and wellness through
balanced nutrition.
What is Zeolite?
Zeolites are a variety of
minerals formed when molten lava contacts water
from lakes or oceans. A specific member of the
zeolite family of minerals called “clinoptilolite”.
It has a unique honeycomb like structure that
has the ability to trap and bind toxins, heavy
metals, viral particles, and other impurities so
these substances can be removed from the body.
The clinoptilolite type of zeolite can be
activated by a process that removes naturally
occurring toxins. The end product results in a
100 % natural completely non-toxic liquid that
is safe for human consumption (FDA rating
G.R.A.S. Generally Recognized As Safe). In a
liquid form carried by the blood stream zeolite
are believed to pass to all parts of the body.
This unique ability to remove dangerous toxins
is so well documented, it was used by the
Russian government to absorb radioactive
chemicals and other harmful toxins after the
Chernobyl disaster.
The clinoptilolite form of
zeolite has been used for more than 800 years in
traditional medicine to improve general health
in India, China, Russia and nearly every part of
Asia. In the United States this has been used in
water filtration, air purification, animal feed
and fertilizers to keep crops healthy.
Zeolites are negatively charged,
which is not common among minerals. This
negative charge facilitates the migration of
positively charged toxic minerals into the
zeolite “cages” and onto the surfaces of zeolite
where these substances can be transported for
elimination in stools and urine. There is a
preferential order of zeolite attraction to
minerals, beginning with heavier weight toxins
proceeding to lighter materials. This is
manifested by trapping mercury, uranium,
arsenic, and cadmium before lighter minerals are
captured (magnesium, calcium, lead).
In essence, zeolites can be
considered molecular sieves and filtering agents
who are able to trap positively charged atoms,
ions, and harmful compounds for removal from the
body.
Why do I need Zeolite?
Zeolites are a natural detox
product, which help chelate heavy metals from
within the body on a molecular level. There is a
strong tie between heavy metal toxicity and
serious diseases such as autism and cancer.
Eliminating these toxins will cleanse the body
from many carcinogenic agents as well as
strengthen the immune system. This can help to
start your body’s fight against serious health
ailments.
Some testimonials suggest that
natural zeolites promote a sense of general
well-being, clarity, and even happiness. These
can be attributed to the elimination of toxins
and also, according to preliminary research,
zeolites have shown to relieve depression by
increasing the production of serotonin in the
body.
The potential benefits of
Zeolite are varied, and have been reported to
include:
1. Removes heavy metals, nitrosamines,
toxins and poisons from within your body (cells,
tissues, organs) by trapping them within the
actual zeolite and flushing them out of the
system.
2. Balances pH. The blood’s normal pH range is
about 7.3 (neutral is 7.00).
3. Has been shown to block viruses. Similar to
the interaction with heavy metals and toxins the
liquid zeolite mineral traps and eliminates
viruses.
4. Helps the digestive tract and increases
nutrient absorption.
5. Reduces and may eliminate acid reflux
(heartburn).
6. Strengthens the immune system to levels never
thought possible.
7. Is a powerful antioxidant.
8. Reported to have dropped blood sugar an
unimaginable 50 points!
9. Natural zeolite activates P21 gene which
appears to halt the growth of tumors by directly
suppressing growth signals.
10. Absorbs free radicals.
11. Is non-toxic and 100% natural. Labeled GRAS
by FDA (general regarded as safe).
What else can Zeolite supplementation
accomplish?
• Remove Toxic Heavy Metals (uranium,
aluminum, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium etc)
which improves enzyme function
• Trap and remove viral particles from the body
• Improve immune function so colds and influenza
are less likely to occur
• Improve pH levels so infectious organisms have
a less favorable site to survive
• Trap protons in the digestive tract making
acid reflux less troublesome
• Improve nutrient absorption
• Removal of toxins and chemicals improves
immune function
• Trapping allergens in blood and digestive
tract decreases symptoms from inhaled and
swallowed antigens
• Absorptive action in the intestines may stop
diarrhea
• Can be of great value in life threatening and
chronic disease states
The average person is exposed to more toxins
through water and air pollution, household
cleaning supplies, pesticides, disinfectants,
and food additives than ever before in human
history. According to the EPA, 70,000 chemicals
are used commercially in the U.S., 65,000 of
which are potentially hazardous to our health.
The Environmental Defense Council reports that
more than four billion pounds of toxic chemicals
are released into the environment each year,
including 72 million pounds of known
carcinogens. These toxins are strongly
correlated with the occurrence of a wide range
of diseases, including cancers, birth defects,
and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's,
autism, and dementia. In the world we live in
today, detoxification is essential to prevent
disease and create optimal health.
