VERY incomplete/misleading information for decision making Re: superfood

I will be doing "inserts" as to not miss anything of importance:

I read something from Andreas Moritz about Superfoods, which, as always, sounds really logical to me. If this is pertaining to Dr. Schulzes blend of Superfood, then what is being said isn't logical at all.  The term Superfood was coined by Dr. Schulze - but nowadays 'superfoods' can mean virtually any single substance.

Always I am getting excited about something I finally get in contact with the exact contrary opinion, which is very exhausting to deal with. At the end I never know what to do and whom to follow.  I think you need to read a bit more analytically instead of taking things at 'face value'

Could you please say something to it?  I understand your frustration and know that you are considering Dr. Schulzes superfood.  The information below is VERY incomplete (extremely!) and I see nothing specifically that indicates anything negative about the blend of Superfood Dr. Schulze created.  By the way, the ingredients in the Superfood are: equal parts - chlorella, spirulina, barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa leaf, beet root, spinach leaf, rosehips, lemon peel, orange peel -- and nutritional yeast.

"I have personally tried and tested many such superfoods on myself and seen the results or lack of them in others.What kind of "superfoods"? individual algaes such as spirulina or chorella? blends that contain various probiotics? blends that contain immune bolstering herbs?  Or a balanced blends of herbs, foods and grasses designed specifically for nutrition (like Dr. Schulzes) I used one of the best sources of Spirulina for 3 years, one isolated algae that is known to be very 'intense' before I began my first liver cleanses years ago, but couldn't tell whether this made any difference, except that I developed more gigestive problems. This is Andreas BEFORE HIS FIRST LIVER CLEANSE?  And he's testing 'superfoods' and making valuations on them?  That's strange.  People are commonly very 'reactive' (falsey to their true state) before they cleanse their livers. I found that some of the grasses (I checked out barely and wheat grass) had an initial postive effect of cleansing, but later on made old symptoms more stronger. Isolated grasses - wheat grass is a VERY strong detoxifier - taken fresh, one should never start with more than an ounce at a time (or less).  And so if he was taking ONLY wheat or barley grass AND he'd never flushed his liver - you can betcha there'd be  disturbances - old symptoms commonly re-occur briefly when detoxing.

Much of the cleansing action of these products rests on the strong presence of antibodies that are meant to defend the wheat against destruction by insects and microbes. Since these antibodies are toxic also to us, they may trigger a strong immune response that tries to removes them again, along with other undesirable, noxious waste matter. There is nothing "toxic" about wheatgrass - for heavens sakes.  Many people have used it to beat cancer (do a search on Ann Wigmore).  Even most celiacs can ingest wheatgrass.  Yes, it is a strong detoxifier, but no one should be taking large isolated amounts unless they're prepared for strong detoxification. This accounts for much of the positive effects of these products. If taken for a longer period of time, though, the immune system becomes tired, and old symptoms return, sometimes even more pronounced than before. Perhaps this is possible if taken singly over long periods, but that's not the kind of superfood I recommend or would ever utilize myself....except for a detoxification period (and then I would also be juice fasting and taking IF#2 to help my body eliminate the toxins released).  If you take such a product, I would advice you to muscle test it perhaps once every week. If it passes the test, you may continue for another week. But if your muscle tests weak to begin with or at any time, I would not use the product. Muscle testing (while very valid, imo) is also a very exact science (art, as tierra put it, and I agree wholeheartedly).  There are very few people that can do muscle testing on themselves, as typically the conscious mind can not be involved at all to get a true reading - and very few people are 'energy advanced' enough to be able to test themselves.  Andreas may be able to do this - but what his body reads CERTAINLY doesn't apply to EVERY body.

I would not let myself fooled by the list of wonderful ingredients. They may be there, or have been prior to production, but this doesn't mean they will end up in your cells. Why wouldn't they get to your cells? they're no different that normal food. Many of these products have gone through machine processing. Many foods I eat have been chopped & dehydrated - although not optimal (powdering of herbs) when our body is lacking in nutrition and there's no way we can eat enough to give our body what it needs, we use something like Superfood. which robs them of their life force (Chi). When the nutrients enter the blood and the connective tissue surrounding the cells, they may not be able to enter the cells. The cells don't absorb nutrients that have lost the life force.  MY cells absorb superfood!!!  If I don't take it, I feel lethargic, and when I do take it I feel 'normal'.  It's NUTRITION, something we are all short on.

So as you can derive from this, I am not enthusiastic about these superfoods, although I recognize that a number of people have been helped by them, or the placebo effect they envoke. From what I am reading I see NO reference to a superfood blend that's balanced with all kinds of foods, herbs and nutrition - designed FOR nutrition and nothing else. Their cleansing properties can be of great value. This confirms what I'm saying - I think he's talking about isolated algaes or grasses (that are commonly referred to as superfoods). Everything in nature is useful for something, if it is not overly processed or altered. The ultimate judge is you. Your bodytype plays a major role, too. What helps one type, may not be useful for another, and vice versa."Body typing is not something that Dr Chrisopher or Schulze subscribed to, and basically I don't either.  No zookeeper adjusts the 'primate diet' for the individual monkey, and no farmer adjusts the diet for each individual cow.  We're all humans.  Yes, with a broad range of genetic backkgrounds (which certainly may play a part) - but the healing diet used by Schulze, Gerson, & Christopher was never known to need any major 'tweaking'. 

I hope this goes a long way in resolving your confusion.
