Does anybody have some experiences with AFA algae supplements.

I've been taken them for three days... Too early to say, but I think it gives me more energy.

Here is a study about it:

Consequences of AphanizomenonFlos-aquae(AFA) extract (StemtechTM) on metabolic profile of patients with type 2 diabetes

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4485343/

Blue- green algae is one of the most nutrient dense foods which is rich in substances that have useful effects on human health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a water- soluble extract of the cyanophyta Aphanizomenon Flos-aquae (StemtechTM) as a functional supplement on CD markers, lipid profile, glucose levels as well as its side effects in Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes...

StemtechTM supplementation for 12 weeks decreased fasting blood glucose (FBG) and Glycatedhemoglobin (HbA1c). Mean serum chemistry parameters (Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, CRP, AST, ALT, BUN and Creatinine) as well as CD 34+, IL-6, TNF-α in treated and control groups before and after the study showed no considerable dissimilarities...

Several blue-green algae, including Aphanizomenonflos-aquae (AFA) showed protective effects in the classical AMES test [4], antibacterial and antioxidant properties, glucose and cholesterol-regulatory effects as well as host immune system modulation [4–6]. Numerous studies have been performed to estimate the results of blue-green algae supplementation on promoting health and controlling a variety of disorders in humans [7]. There are increasing scientific and clinical evidences for its role in controlling chronic diseases such as arthritis [8] and cancer [9, 10]. This substance can enhance the phagocyte activity in macrophages [11, 12]. Moreover, inhibition of allergic reactions in rodents has been reported by this agent [13, 14]

Beneficial effects of AFA on adult stem cells make it the anti-aging algae

Studies have revealed that the consumption of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) has beneficial effects on adult stem cells. That's great news for those concerned about the effects of aging, because stem cells are incredibly important to our health, playing a major role in the ability of the body to age well.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae - otherwise known as AFA - is a microalgae. It is similar to its better known cousins spirulina and chlorella, but has different growth habits and produces different effects in the human body.

While AFA, spirulina and chlorella are valued by health-conscious people for the amazing nutrition they provide and their associated health benefits, all microalgae are important to the survival of our planet. At least 40 thousand species have been identified. They form the basis of the food chain and are estimated to provide 80-90% of the world's food and oxygen, but only a handful of these species are consumed by humans. AFA is one of those.

What are stem cells and what do they do?

Stem cells are created in the bone marrow and have been discovered to be the very foundation of the body's healing system. When organs or tissues are damaged in the body, stem cells are released from the bone marrow and move to the damaged tissue where they become the cells that need to be replaced.

For example, if the liver is damaged, stem cells will be released and become liver cells, repairing the damaged liver and restoring health. If the skin is damaged, stem cells will again be released. They are transported to the damaged area where they morph into skin cells, repairing the skin and returning it to a healthy condition.

Stem cells are how the body heals itself. The human body is constantly breaking itself down and rebuilding throughout our lifetime. Cells are damaged or die off and are then replaced. However, adult stem cells are more susceptible to oxidative stress and may have a reduced restorative capacity as we age. Problems occur when stem cells are unable to be released fast enough to repair damage as it occurs. This is when ill health and aging become apparent.

AFA helps to support stem cells as we age
AFA contains more chlorophyll than any other food. Chlorophyll itself is incredibly beneficial to health and is only one atom away from hemoglobin (our oxygen-carrying red blood cells). Perhaps this is part of the reason why AFA has been shown in studies to promote proliferation of human stem cell numbers, increasing their ability to reverse the breaking down of the body and potentially slowing or halting the aging process.

How do I take AFA?
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is best taken in a powdered form to avoid the fillers and binders often found in tablets. It can be mixed in water or juice, or added to a smoothie and taken once or twice a day. It's also a great idea to take it in a blend combined with spirulina and chlorella, as all three have different beneficial effects in the body.

Combined, these three microalgae truly provide the body with superb nutrition and have numerous positive effects on health; however, always ensure that you buy an organic brand from a reputable source to ensure no contamination with pesticide residues or heavy metals.

I guess I should report since I've noticed some additional changes/improvements. But maybe this goes in the infrabed thread? Dunno.

Anyway, as ya'll know, when I got home, I was taking a number of meds to keep everything running smooth while the stem cells did their work. The odd thing is, that once I started using the infrabed, like within three or four days, all the meds were making my system totally out of whack, especially the victoza which was controlling my insulin and which had given me so much relief.

I was so messed up that I took a couple of days to get off everything and clear out with big doses of vitamin c. Then, I proceeded with the infrabed alone.

Well, a big test soon came: a birthday with treats... and I partook. NO problems at all with anything. I even lost a little weight overnight which was unheard of.

Then, yesterday, I partook of another small goodie and the same thing happened. Well, something strange happened actually; a half hour after eating some sweetened figs with a nut crumble on top, I suddenly got so hot I could feel waves of heat just radiating away. I even started sweating a bit. I realized that never in my life has eating produced heat as it does for many people who just burn off their calories instead of storing them, but here it was happening to me. So, I figure my mitochondria are working and that has been one of my big problems: mitochondrial dysfunction.

Anyway, again, I dropped a half kilo overnight.

One of the things I've been doing since the stem cells - and it doesn't seem difficult - is eating only between 9/10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon most days. That amounts to intermittant fasting because it is about 17 to 18 hours that I go without eating after my last meal of the day.

One other thing to note: I was feeling well enough that I was starting to sit at my desk to work, but after three or four days of that, the leg started swelling and hurting again so I'm back to the chaise and the laptop on a lapdesk. It's not optimal for working because I don't have two screens which really help when editing and such, but it works okay once I get used to it. I think it is going to take the full six months to get that leg/knee completely healed/rebuilt.

But, in general, my mood is better despite the horrors of the world "out there", I'm better able to cope with it; and I am pretty much free of pain.

So, step by step...
 
Thx for your report Laura KJ. I was alway embarrassed due to sweating after meals all through me-life (especially due to loooong summers here in Dalmazzia) and now it could be that is a positive symptom of some kind... And good to see that your posts are becoming longer and longer day after day :halo:...

:bye:
 
That's great news Madame Knight-Jadczyk! Thank you for the update's, and inspiration. :clap:
 
Great news Laura on your healing, may it heal all the way soon! I too eat only two meals per day, one around 10 am and the other around 5-6 pm. Works well for me and I have better energy than if I ate 3 meals per day!
 
This is SUCH good news Laura! :cheer:

I hope it's safe to stop using these meds. But it sounds like you are seeing improvement so I guess it's all good!

Fingers crossed for continued mitochondrial improvement!! I do wonder whether burning your calories instead of storing them could make the intermittent fasting more difficult to maintain though.

And since you noticed the change shortly after you started using the infrared maybe that's what's caused it.

:jawdrop:

That's crazy! The combo seems to really be working!!

:welcome: to ScottieLand! In the event of an emergency, you can now be used as a portable heater, tea kettle, boiler, or even as a substitute for a damaged nuclear reactor.

:whistle:
 
Thanks for keeping us updated Laura, I'm happy for you! It is great to read that things are going better with help of infrared bed in particular (Pierre is a genius in some ways).
I hope you will have recover your full Mojo, maybe at the latest for Christmas... :hug:
 
That's great news Laura! :clap: Thanks for the update!
