Many practitioners, researchers and experts have argued that the benefit of green products derives from their rich profile of phytonutrients. "Green foods" are rich in antioxidants (compounds that protect cells from a number of toxic elements), chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and protein.
It is important to note that a significant portion of the value of "green foods" is determined by its chlorophyll content. It is believed that chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green pigments in greens, is remarkably similar to hemoglobin found in human blood cells. Further, it has been suggested that if enough iron is consumed with chlorophyll hemoglobin will result.
Other researchers point to the fact that chlorophyll rich plants are abundant sources of naturally occurring vitamin K. The fat soluble chlorophyll found in green supplements is the ideal way to obtain vitamin K. Vitamin K is important in blood clotting, the treatment of osteoporosis and is a protective agent against toxins and while undergoing chemotherapy. It is therefore vital that chlorophyll is consumed as part of "green foods" and not in its isolated water soluble form found on many store shelves. Chlorophyll is also important in the treatment of infections, wounds, constipation and cancer.
In general, "green foods," - in particular barley greens - provide:
A substance to actually stimulate repair of the DNA molecule
A protein with strong anti-inflammatory qualities
Substances that reduced hypercholesterolemia
Chlorella Chlorella is a fresh water, single-celled algae. It is rich in:
protein (57-60%)
carotenoids
chlorophyll
RNA-DNA
minerals
B vitamins (huge amounts of vitamin B-12)
vitamin E
Abundant amounts of vitamin K – important in blood clotting
Rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) – estimated that up to 20% of EFA’s found in Chlorella are Omega-3 variety.
Therapeutic Applications:
Chlorella has strong effects on the immune system and related processing of toxic elements.
Some studies have shown that Chlorella can elevate interferon levels and so may have anti-cancer or anti-tumor potential.
Chlorella binds well with heavy metals, pesticides and other carcinogens and facilitates their removal from the body.
Kelp
Kelp is a brown algae rich in minerals especially iodine
It also provides high levels of B vitamins, vitamins E and K and Fucoidan, a polysaccharide
Therapeutic applications
Kelp traditionally has been used to treat hair loss
Problems with skin, nails, sensory nerves and brain tissue
It may also act as a laxative
As a rich source of iodine it helps support thyroid function, assists in the treatment of hypothyroidism, goiter and metabolic disorders (an underactive thyroid has been implicated in obesity)
As a source of Fucoidan Kelp may prove to have strong antitumor properties.
Elderberry Complex (Eldberry, Blueberry, Cherry)
ELDERBERRY BASED ANTHROCYANIDINS
Proanthocyanidins are a class of flavonoids responsible for the red to blue/purple colors of most berries, cherries, grapes and some flowers.
These compounds are capable of:
Increasing intracellular levels of vitamin C
Improving capillary stability
Quenching free radicals
Inhibiting the destruction of collagen
Inactivating microbial enzymes used to spread infection
Blocking microbial adhesion to cells
Normalizing mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the ground substance between cells.
Preventing the spread of viral influenza, as it blocks neuraminidase, the enzyme made by the flu virus which allows it to attach to the tissues of the nose and throat.
Polyamine regulation
Scientists have also found that the same chemicals that give tart cherries their color may relieve pain better than aspirin and ibuprofen. Cherries also may provide antioxidant protection comparable to commercially available supplements like vitamin E and vitamin C. The report appeared in the February edition of Journal of Natural Products, published by the American Chemical Society.
Larch Arabinogalactan
Digestive Health
The longest recognized use of larch arabinogalactan is probably as a source of dietary fiber. It has been shown to increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA's), principally butyrate and proprionate. These special fatty acids are critically important for the health of the colon. In fact, having an adequate supply of SCFA's is thought to make colon cells more resistant to both tumor promotion and a variety of intestinal disease.
Larch arabinogalactan also acts as a food supply for friendly bacteria. The term used to describe this action is "prebiotic". The most well known prebiotic substance is "fructooligosacharides" or "FOS". Larch arabinogalactan acts in the same manner as FOS in humans. In effect, when we consume Larch arabinogalactan, we are rewarded by this significant positive effect on our gut microfloral balance. Specifically, this fiber acts to increase good bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while decreasing bad bacteria. Since these friendly bacteria are critically important for the health of our digestive and immune systems, detoxification and hormone regulating capabilities, and nutrient formation and absorption; the growth promoting effects of larch arabinogalactan on these organisms alone makes it a valuable addition to our diet.
Immune Health
Natural Killer cell (NK) and Macrophage activation The receptor specificity of arabinogalactan is not well characterized. Cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as cultures of preseparated peripheral non-adherent cells and monocytes showed enhancement of natural killer cytotoxicity against K562 tumor cells when pretreated with larch arabinogalactan for 48-72 h. Moreover, preseparated peripheral non-adherent cells and monocytes of individual donors could exhibit various responses to arabinogalactan when cultures derived from bleedings after intervals of several months were assayed. Arabinogalactan-mediated enhancement of NK cytotoxicity was not initiated directly but was found to be governed by the cytokine network. Generally, larch arabinogalactan pretreatment induced an increased release of interferon gamma (IFN gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin- 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-6 but only IFN gamma was involved in enhancement of NK cytotoxicity.
Blocking of organ-specific experimental metastasis
Metastatic disease most commonly spreads to the liver, in preference to other organ sites. This has been theorized to be the result of a reaction between the galactose-based glycocongates on the metastatic cells and a hepatic-specific lee tin (e.g., the D-galactose-specific hepatic binding protein) found in liver parenchyma. Several studies have compellingly shown that arabinogalactan inhibits this reaction, thus acting as a "reverse Iectin."
In one study, the effect of arabinogalactan was investigated in a syngeneic tumor-host system using a new tumor that primarily colonizes the liver upon intravenous injection. The study included systemic treatment with D-galactose and arabinogalactan as well as cell pretreatment with arabinogalactan and two other glycoconjugates. Treatment with arabinogalactan reduced the amount of liver metastases and prolonged the survival times of the animals in both studies. Host treatment was more effective than tumor cell pretreatment. This was shown to be an effect of arabinogalactan blockade of potential liver receptors by covering of galactose-specific binding sites. This was also verified in a repeat study.
In a third study, the rapid clearance and uptake by the liver of tritiated alpha 1-acid (asialo)glycoprotein from the circulation of Balb/c mice was markedly delayed after preinjection of D-galactose or arabinogalactan. The preinjection (1 h) and regular application (for 3 days after tumor cell inoculation in Balb/c mice) of the receptor blocking agents D-galactose and arabinogalactan prevented the settling of sarcoma L-l tumor in the liver completely. Other galactans, dextrans, and phosphate-buffered saline showed no effect. Therefore, when lectins were blocked with competitive-specific glycoconjugates, colonization was prevented.
Arabinogalactan completely prevented the settling of metastatic cells of sarcoma L-l rumor in the liver of Balb/c mice and greatly reduced the colonization process of highly metastatic Esb lymphoma cells of the liver of DBA/2 mice. Therefore, when hepatic lectins were blocked with competitive glycoconjugates, tumor cell colonization of the liver could be prevented in two different model systems.
