 Oxygen
Life began its journey to the present day as a result of sunlight
and blue green algae. This photosynthetic partnership gave birth
to the first oxygen molecules in earth’s atmosphere, and eventually
an atmosphere capable of supporting all the known forms of life
we have witnessed in the last billion years... from single celled
protozoa and dinosaurs to us.
The cells of our bodies, and every single biochemical action and
reaction inside our bodies depends upon a steady inflow of oxygen
and outflow of carbon dioxide. This exchange of gases is one of
the most interesting and essential interdependent relationships
between all life on earth. Animals, including humans, require oxygen
to build and grow. Plants require carbon dioxide to build and grow.
Human beings breathe oxygen to the lungs, where it diffuses into
our blood. The blood circulates the entire body where cells wait
to exchange the toxic waste from their own cellular activity. Carbon
dioxide for oxygen, which then serves as essential fuel for further
metabolic activity.
Green plants take in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through their
roots, bark, stems and leaves and diffuse this essential nutrient
into its chlorophyll which then carries other essential nutrients
throughout the plant, and diffuses into the atmosphere as oxygen.
97 percent of the oxygen contained in our blood is carried in the
mineral-rich component of our blood plasma called hemoglobin. Heme
is the latin word for iron. Iron is the mineral that oxygen attaches
to most easily in our blood. Hemoglobin in humans, and chlorophyll
in plants are very similar in design and function. The molecular
structure of these essential substances are identical with one exception.
The center of a hemoglobin molecule is an atom of iron, which gives
our blood its red color. At the center of the chlorophyll molecule
is an atom of magnesium, which gives plants characteristic green
color.
It should not be too surprising that we have discovered that foods
rich in chlorophyll increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of our
blood, which in turn increases the flow of micro-nutrients to the
cells and increases the flow of toxins from the cells. In this way,
chlorophyll rich foods have come to be known as cell builders and
cell purifiers. (Another popular way of stating this is cell regenerators
and cell detoxifiers.)
Gram for gram, the most chlorophyll-rich food on earth is Cell
Tech’s Super Blue Green Algae. Chlorophyll is one of our most
important nutritional biomodulators. Chlorophyll, which is the blood
of plants, is essential in the production of all our atmospheric
oxygen. Oxygen, being one of the most essential biological catalysts
and fuels is a necessary component for almost every biochemical
reaction inside our bodies.
