Can Blue Green Algae Be of Help with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder?
by Dr. John Taylor, Ph.D Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I have traveled throughout North America over the last half decade giving the MEGA ANSWERS TO AD/HD seminar. In one jam-packed day I survey academic, psycho-social and nutritional approaches to AD/HD for mixed audiences of parents and helping professionals. While having no connection with any company involved in harvest, manufacture or marketing of foods, medicines, or nutrients, I have been in a position to talk with thousands of professionals and parents very frankly about AD/HD. And blue-green algae is consistently mentioned to me by parents as being of help for children with AD/HD. Why? What exactly is the algae-AD/HD connection? read article

Superfoods as Health Insurance
It has been my belief for a very long time, that I am ultimately responsible for my health. Doctors are not the answer to my vitality or overall preventative issues. In fact, our society overloads the medical community with too much responsibility when their job is to deal with full-blown illness and emergencies. It is MY job to make sure that I do not find myself immersed in illness. Most illness does not happen overnight- it takes time and clear-cut neglect. The current model of nutrition (Standard American Diet) is damaging us, without a doubt! read article
Cleansing: An Absolute Necessity for Optimum Health

We are constantly bombarded by externals toxins- poor air, poor water, stress, toxins in our diets, etc. No matter how good our diets may be, there is no way we can deal with all these challenges without being given an opportunity to clean out. And this cleaning must be all the way down to the cellular level in order to make a true difference. read article
For the past several decades, people have been enthralled by a “green foods” revolution. During this time, several foods have been championed as the revolution’s leader. Foods such as barley grass, Chlorella, wheat grass juice, and sprouts lag far behind the two most popular blue green algae, aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) and Spirulina. Both are considered green superfoods; they have similarities but several important differences. The subtleties of their differences have become evident more recently, as more sophisticated methods of analysis are employed. read article
Are You Really Meeting Your Animal’s Nutritional Needs?
For thousands of years, animals in the wild thrived on a diet of natural, raw foods. These foods provided all of the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll their bodies were designed to use. But today, whether animals live in our homes, on our farms, or under our care, their diets are often very different. Most of us feed the animals we love commercial diets. We take comfort in buying the best commercial diets we can afford and believe our animals are receiving all of the nutrition they need. read article
Life-Changing Nutrition with SuperFoods - My Story
In 1996 I was suffering from less-than-perfect health. I was tired, stressed, passing kidney stones, sleeping poorly and generally wondering where I had misplaced my "stolen" youth. I had always understood the power of nutrition and had been conscientious about diet and healthy lifestyle. Still, I felt I was aging much too rapidly. After much resistance I finally began introducing wild blue-green algae, as well as probiotics and food enzymes to my diet. The results were immediate and dramatic! Not only did my energy begin to return but also I never passed anther stone, I began to sleep soundly for the first time in my life and my immune system became fortified.
