Some micro-algae have very favorable nutritional profiles for cancer and immune therapies. spirulina, chlorella, and wild blue-green (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) provide cellular protection with exceptional amounts of beta carotene (provitamin A) and chlorophyll; dunaliella is the highest known natural source of beta carotene. Chlorella, the alga to emphasize in those with the greatest deficiency, stimulates immunity in the treatment of all degenerative diseases by means of the "Chlorella Growth Factor" (CGF). Spirulina is rich in phycocyanin, a pigment with anti-cancer properties. Spirulina is also the highest plant source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid which strengthens immunity and inhibits excessive cell division. Wild blue-green is good for drying moisture from tissues which support viral, bacterial, and fungal growths. Either of these bitter micro-algae often work well with chlorella or spirulina. (See "Micro-Algae Dosage" and "General Guidelines," pages 197 and 202, for help in selecting the appropriate micro-algae.)

Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford, page 378 Phycotene complex of Beta-Carotene extracted from spirulina and Dunaliella algaes (in Carotene 7 from Professional Metabolics, and SuperBeta-Carotene from Source Naturals) using 15 other natural Carotenes, vegetable pigments, and other micronutrients for synergistic effect. Beta-Carotene increases Natural Killer cells; detoxifies certain chemicals, counters damage from chemical stress andradiation; Beta-Carotene given with radiation therapy rid tumors in animals. Apollution protector, quenches damaging singlet oxygen, neutralizes free radicals, protects from carcinogenic exposure in polluted air causing the most common U. S. and European male malignancy; protects from the vascular constricting effect of toluene diamine toxic compound TDA; disease fighter slows cancerous chemicals like DMBA, PCB, and Nitrogen Dioxide in brownish smog; helps alcoholism. Prevents kidney, bladder, and gallstones; cystitis, albuminuria(l capsule daily), and maintains alkalinity.

carotenoids (from spirulina and Dunaliella algae) plus vitamin E and canthaxanthin were injected in animal tumors, with the result being complete regression as mediated by an increase in Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) in macrophages in the tumor region33 ^ in 20 patients with mouth cancer who were given high doses of radiation and chemo, beta-carotene provided significant protection against mouth sores (oral mucositis) induced by medical therapy, although there was no significant difference in survival rates in animals.

Leukoplakia (an often precancerous condition marked by white thickened patches on the mucous membranes of the cheeks, gums, or tongue) is responsive to spirulina, a source of proteins, carotenoids, and other micronutrients (Sankaranarayanan et al. 1995). An inverse relationship between beta-carotene and thyroid carcinoma was observed in both papillary and follicular carcinomas (D'Avanzo et al. 1997). A high dietary intake of beta-carotene appears a protective (though modest) factor for the development of ovarian cancer (Huncharek et al. 2001).

The special form of protein in spirulina benefits those with problems resulting from excessive animal protein, which does not assimilate well and further burdens the body with waste products. Thus, people who have eaten too many animal products and refined foods—typically those who are overweight, diabetic, hypo-glycemic, cancerous, arthritic, or suffering from similar degenerations—often benefit from the relatively pure quality of the protein in spirulina. Of course, spirulina protein is in the context of massive amounts of beta-carotene, chlorophyll, fatty acid GLA, and other nutrients.
