Dr. Richard Wilstatter in 1915 and Dr. H.
Fisher in 1930 received the Nobel Prize for outstanding research on
chlorophyll.
These facts deduced by Wilstatter were dramatic. The chlorophyll molecule
bears a striking resemblance to hemoglobin, the red pigment in human
blood. The red blood pigment is a web of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
nitrogen atoms grouped around a single atom of iron. Nature's green
pigment is a similar web of the same atoms except that its centerpiece is
a single atom of magnesium.
The loaf of bread, the beans, the apples and the grapes in your kitchen
could not be there unless it was for the magical properties of
chlorophyll! All forms of life, on land and in the sea, even when they
feed on each other, are parasites, depending ultimately on plant life.
Your body, its flesh and its organs, is done up largely of protein coming
directly to you from food plants or the flesh of plant eating animals.
You, personally, exist only because of chlorophyll.
In outstanding phenomena of activity, plant life takes up water from the
soil that carries to the green leaves. The leaves in turn, pick up gases
such as carbon and oxygen from the gaseous elements in the air. Then
through the action of invisible sun rays upon the leaves, various other
elements including water and air in combination with additional gases are
chemically broken up. After this has all been accomplished, the patterns
of these gases and elements are then rearranged and segregated by the
chlorophyll.
This entire combination is reassembled through a very elaborate chemical
process into starches and sugars to ultimately form life and energy for
storage in plants for future use as food by animals and humans alike.
All life energy comes from the sun. Green plants alone possess the secret
of how to capture this solar energy and pass it on to people.
Offen Krantz, a research scientist, in 1950 reported successful treatment
with water soluble chlorophyll on peptic ulcers of long standing.
Franz Miller, another scientist, said chlorophyll is the natural blood
building element for all plant eaters and humans. He writes, "Chlorophyll
has the same fast food-building effect as iron in animals made
experimentally anemic."
Emil Burge of Berne, Switzerland, made further research on chlorophyll,
which was destined to establish sound therapeutic values of chlorophyll.
He says, in part "Chlorophyll is recommended as an excellent specific for
influencing anemia of various kinds, for bettering the general condition
of health, for improving the action of the heart and for reducing blood
pressure in cases where it is abnormally high."
Wescott concerned himself with the effect of ingested chlorophyll on body
and breath odors. The chlorophyll used for neutralizing odors is water
soluble. The natural oils have been removed. When chlorophyll is taken in
the form of vegetarian diet, it is not freed from the encased walls of the
vegetable colla and consequently is not absorbed. This answers the
question why goats have such an obnoxious odor when they eat grass all the
time.
Herman Goodman, B.S., M.D., says, "Chlorophyll is recommended for
application in order to stimulate healing and removing necrotic tissue
debris from wounds. Chlorophyll is said to accelerate connective tissue
and epidermal proliferation, thus restoring normal integument with minimum
scar formation."
Usually anything that is green in nature's plant kingdom is most always
very high in iron. Any food high in iron is always good for the liver.
Chlorophyll is in most cases put up from alfalfa, which is also alkaline.
Steadman's Medical Dictionary, 21st edition, page 308, says "Chlorophyll
raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic which greatly
enhances the improvement of health in the vascular svstem, the intestines,
the uterus, and the lungs."
Boericke's Materia Medica with Repertory, Augmented Indian Edition, page
88, says "Alfalfa favorably influences nutrition, evidenced in 'toning up'
the appetite and digestion resulting in greatly improved mental and
physical vigor .... Increases quality and quantity of milk in nursing
mothers."
 Chlorophyll liquid is derived from the fresh, leafy portion of alfalfa,
grown on richly composted soil without the use of chemical sprays or
artificial fertilizers. The alfalfa is quickly brought in from the fields
and pressed to release the liquid, the life blood of the plant. The
extracted juice flows directly from the press into drying equipment where
it is converted into a powder, in order to transport it. It is then air
expressed to the laboratory, where it is reconverted into its natural
state by adding the moisture that was removed. Alfalfa has been used as
tea for centuries.
From the "How to Herb" book:
"chlorophyll is the 'blood of plant life.'
It is the life force of plants and contains life giving nutrients that are
easily assimilated by the body. It has the same effect as iron and is a
natural blood builder. It is a great natural healer and cleanser for
chronic conditions internally and externally. It stops growth and
development of toxic bacteria. Disease causing bacteria find it difficult
to live in the presence of chlorophyll. It counteracts toxins. It
accelerates tissue cell activity and normal regrowth of cells which helps
the body heal faster. It inhibits the metabolic action of carcinogens.
It helps purify the liver and eliminate drug deposits, old toxic material,
chemical spray on food, artificial flavoring, colors and other coal tar
products that may become stored in it. It deodorizes the bowel and entire
body; is a natural antiseptic to the intestinal tract. It aids in
rebuilding damaged bowel tissue and helps to eliminate mucus. It helps to
keep colon healthy because it destroys toxic and disease causing
bacteria."
