aku baru terai spirulina elken dah dekat seminggu gak lar, tapi kepala aku pening mcm migrain lar...tak tertahan rasanya, dulu masa tak amik tadelar penyakit nih sumer datang, skang aku dah stop, sbb bila pening dia dtg aku rasa nak tumbang, kalo ikut medical history aku, tadelar penyakit apa2 pun,
aku tanya dealer elken tuh dia kata aku kena banyak minum air, abis dah posa camne nak minum air yer tak...

lagi satu aku perasan sejak aku amik spirulina nih aku jadi cepat naik darah, sebelum nih aku baik sesangat, sabar yang teramat, tapi tular bebaru nih aku termarah kashier pasaraya mini kat  umah aku tuh sbb ade org potong que aku, marah sesangat nih, aku boleh rasakan darah aku naik sampai kepala lar, nape tah...nak kata aku lapar sbb posa, masa tuh aku tak boleh posa...

nape yer... tolong lar aku ini...adekah ia kerana spirulina elken...

Something about spirulina.....enclosed is a disturbing finding
about the health supplement many plp are consuming nowadays,called
spirulina. ....that it actually causes liver damage!!!

Remember Andrea Decruz?? phua chu kang's brother, chu bing's
real life girlfriend who took Slim 10?? well....it was found that she
has actually been taking health supplement...SPIRULINA.
Please take your time to read the articles (from The Straits Times,s' pore)
and if u want to have more info/ research findings about it, i do have
more...all
are independent research results of the US and Canadian authorities.

Note: forwarded message attached.

POND scum may cause liver damage.
This possibility surfaced when British liver specialist Julia
Wendon testified in the High Court recently that actress Andrea De
Cruz liver failure may have been brought on by a health supplement
that she was taking, called spirulina. Detractors call it pond scum,
but not a few people here have taken to this blue-green algae. It is
hyped as so low on the food chain it has to be packed with nutrients
and energy - and it is! Fans say spirulina is so rich in protein,
vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients, it is
nature perfect food, capable of sustaining life without the need for
other foods. Yes, it has eight essential amino acids and high
levels of vitamin B, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium,
manganese, potassium and zinc. Yes, it contains vitamin B12,
otherwise found only in animal meat - but humans cannot absorb its B12.

The Aztecs ate spirulina as a food called tecuitlatl, if records
kept by the Spanish conquistadors are to be believed; the Kanembu
people of Central Africa have harvested it from Lake Chad from ages
past, and eat it as sun-dried cakes with a salsa dip. As algae reproduces
very quickly and individual plants stick together,
spirulina is easy to harvest, so fans call it a food source to
nourish the world' s population
True, dried spirulina is 70 per cent protein by weight, but
the United States Food and Drug Administration says that the claim
is meaningless: You will need to consume many mouthfuls of
expensive spirulina capsules in order to get enough protein every day
this way.
It is easier and cheaper to get the protein by eating grains
or meat - and to get iron from dark greens, or carotenes and vitamins
from common fruits and vegetables. Spirulina is taken as a powder mixed
with water or in tablet or caplet form. It is purportedly good for
medical conditions ranging from cancers and high cholesterol to Aids
and obesity. Very preliminary evidence from very small studies
suggests that spirulina like other nutritious plant foods - may help in
some
of these conditions. But the findings have yet to be confirmed by larger
and
longer
studies. Spirulina consists of one or more members of a family of
blue-green algae, with some characteristics of bacteria and some of algae.
Under the microscope, it appears as a blue-green spiral of
long, thin threads.

Blue-green algae grows in shallow, warm, slow-moving or still
lakes, accumulating on the surface as blue-green scum that, at high
enough levels, makes the water smell and taste bad.
Out of the 1,500 species of blue-green algae, a few - such as
spirulina, chlorella and aphanizomenon flos-aqua - are
popularly used in supplements.
Not unlike cultured table mushrooms being safe while wild ones
can be poisonous, most types of algae appear to be non-toxic.
But some varieties produce microcystins, or toxins made up of
amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The problem is that
these toxins may contaminate the algal supplements which you buy in health
stores.

In 2000, the Department of Health in the US state of Oregon
surveyed 87 commercially available blue-green algae products and found
85 of them were contaminated with microcystins.

How toxic are microcystins?
In February 1996, when a haemodialysis clinic in Caruaru,
Brazil, used untreated water for dialysis during a water shortage,
about 60 out of 100 patients with kidney failure died. The cause: The water
was contaminated with microcystins. that was dramatic but unusual.
More generally, microcystins accumulate in the liver over the long term and
cause toxic problems.
Evidence from China suggests a link between microcystins in drinking water
and primary liver cancer.
In 1999, after several blue-green algal products were found to
contain microcystins, Canadian health authorities sampled those being
sold. They found that only products which were made from spirulina
blue-green algae harvested from controlled ponds contained no microcystins.
Other blue-green algae such as chlorella and aphanizomenon
flos-aqua harvested from natural lakes contained microcystins in excess of
World Health Organisation standards.
So cultured spirulina can be grown free of microcystins, and
consumers deserve products that are certified to be toxin-free.
Spirulina is commercially grown in large ponds that depend on
sunlight to evaporate the water off. Yet, how much toxin other algae
may produce while in the water and how much toxin, if any, is present at
harvesting cannot be predicted, as it depends on environmental factors
such as the amount of sunlight, depth of water, minerals in the water and
time of harvest, among others.
Contamination levels will thus vary from batch to batch. This
makes it difficult to assess the risk in each brand, and even different
batches of the same brand. Screening each and every batch calls for
phenomenal resources.
To compound the problem, there are different levels of
toxicity in microcystins, varying according to their molecular structures.
The means used to elucidate molecular structures are only
available in research institutions.
Since spirulina is a food supplement and not a prescription
drug, it is not subject to the same strict regulations that cover
the latter. Makers do not have to declare fluctuations in toxin levels,
how they monitor them, and if they do it consistently with every batch.
So because of the potentially variable composition, and until
there are rapid, sensitive and reliable tests available for
microcystins, a reasonable rule of thumb seems to be: Think pond scum.

bagi kat ko...! tapi ko nih antara 4 yang layak terima zakat tuh ker...

kalo layak, bulih lar jugak aku bagi...kalo tak layak, minta maaf je lar yer...

spirulina claims are false

I am deeply disappointed that certain individuals are promoting certain medicinal products here.

Spirulina for example, has widely been marketed as a wonder detoxifying agent especially by direct selling companies. This claim has been proven time and again to be false and baseless.. Claims of miraculous cures are also fabricated. It is unfortunate that alternative medicines has been generally unregulated and thus many opportunist would grab this to make a quick buck. Safety of such alternative treatments remain highly questionable as well.

i sokong sangat.
Agreed
d'accord

dah lama dahh i perasan ..guys be scientific minded a bit

Dr Cheah , i think you got to teach us or give a little bit of info on how to appraise a journal or article .. thsi is important since these people could came to you and give the mumbo jumbo idea about their products.
Pity for those yg " terkena" and tertipu.. be aware...

Which is good alfafa ker spirulina:cool:

tiada bukti kajian saintifik yang menyokong/mengatakan faedah atau khasiat spirulina yang diheboh-hebohkan!
