Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Cell Tech has recently came out with some new products that have blue green algae and several herbs in them. Does anyone have any information In an earlier posting, you claimed that a study on the algae done at McGill University had been published back in December, but you couldn’t say what journal it had been published in. Have you been able to come up with a literature citation yet? Does this study really exist, or is it another figment of Cell Tech’s pathetic PR campaign? I have one suggestion for anyone taking Mark Thorson’s "pathetic PR campaign," seriously:  click on Author Profile and examine his posting history. Now ask yourself:  "This Thorson fellow seems to have a lot of time on his hands to carry on this one man crusade against Cell Tech with – do you suppose he has an agenda?"  Or is he just a lovely guy devoted to protecting the world against this one particular item on a daily basis? Hmmmmm….. If you have an accusation, then why don’t you make it? I’ve been accused of being an agent of an alternative blue-green algae product (not true).  I’ve been accused of being a disgruntled ex-SBGA distributor (not true). I’ve been accused of being paid off by the big drug companies (not true). I got drawn into this debate by Chris Hardwicke, a former Cell Tech in-office employee who went on to become a distributor.  I haven’t exchanged e-mail with him for a few years, so I don’t know if he’s still selling the algae. He was very persistant in debating me about the safety of the algae, and that motivated me to fully research this subject. I was surprised to find that there was a cocaine-analog drug involved, and even more surprised to learn about the potent cancer tumor promoters. My agenda?  Eliminate the commercial advertising abuse of both the Internet discussion groups and unsolicited commercial e-mail.  I’ve gotten e-mail spam advertising for the algae twice.  (I guess they didn’t know me very well when they sent it.) Oh, sure.  It’s like trying to sweep back the sea.  But it’s my hobby.  Duck hunters aren’t trying to eliminate ducks as a species, they just enjoy plugging a few quacks.  Me too. So what’s your "agenda"?  Do you sell the stuff?  Do you agree it gives you a profound feeling of "energy", much stronger than anything you’d get from a vitamin pill or a chocolate bar? How many capsules do you take per day?  Have you gone without taking any algae any day for the last 30 days?  It sure feels good, doesn’t it?  It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to "kick in", doesn’t it?  The plateau is really long, several hours.  It starts to wear off about 3 or 4 PM, right?  And isn’t it weird how it gets stronger right before it disappears, how you get that lift in the mid-afternoon?

Hi Mark Thank you for your individual reply – I do take you at your word regarding your motivations. In response to what you asked – yes I am a  Cell Tech Distributor. I don’t recognize the effect you’ve described though from my personal experience.  Basically whether or not I eat Super Blue Green Algae I tend to feel pretty much the same except that if I don’t eat it – after a week or so I begin to … hmmmm – "feel may age?" (43) I guess I put it that way because when I’m eating the products properly and otherwise taking good care of myself I look and feel a lot younger. Basically what happened with me went like this – I got together with my girlfriend Christie in 1983 and shortly thereafter her health began a six year decline.  She gradually lost the ability to assimilate one food after the other. First it was just dairy and meat.  "No problem" – we were inclining toward vegetarianism anyway.  But then she lost one food after another.  If she would eat a challenging food she would experience a severe allergic reaction (she probably had leaky gut syndrome in retrospect).  So finally she became a "Universal Reactor" and dwindled down to about 85 lbs (she’s 5
