Spirulina and The Immunity
-
Spirulina caused the cells to increase in number, be more active
and display more effective microbial killing. The whole immune system array
of killer cells, helper cells and antibody production is supercharged.
-
Researchers are testing the theory that spirulina acts like a broad
spectrum vaccine against bacteria. It may also protect against other disease
causing microbes and cancer. Because it is a safe natural food, it has
created a sensation among animal scientists. They are scrambling to replace
ineffective antibiotics with probiotics like spirulina that strengthen
immune systems and prevent disease.
-
Scientists in China and Japan independently reported spirulina and
its extracts fed to mice increase macrophage function, antibody production
and infection fighting T-cells.
-
One study found spirulina extracts inhibited cancer by boosting the
immune system.
-
Russian scientists published initial research on the immune stimulating
effects on rabbits from lipopolysaccharides in spirulina.
These discoveries are significant for human health. Now
scientists want to identify probiotics that strengthen the immune system
to prevent disease and cancer.- Spirulina may be effective for humans.
It seems to turbocharged the immune system to seek out and destroy disease
causing microorganisms and cancer cells.
Spirulina, blue-green algae, is 60% all vegetable protein, easy-to-digest,
with the highest food concentration of the antioxidant beta carotene, iron,
vitamin B-12, and the rare gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Its dark green color
comes from the c
