CHLOROPHYLL (Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin)
DESCRIPTION : Chlorophyll
is a ubiquitous green plant pigment that supports the process of
converting solar energy and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates.
Sodium copper chlorophyllin is stabilized chlorophyll.
BIOCHEMISTRY : Chlorophyll
is a network of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogenand oxygen atoms surrounding a
single magnesium atom. (The blood pigment hemoglobin has an iron atom in
place of the magnesium.) Chlorophyll may be an antioxidant. It is capable
of electron transfer, and has been studied for use in biological solar
electricity production. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is produced by
replacing the magnesium atom with copper and sodium.
PHYSIOLOGY: Chlorophyll
has strong antibacterial action, and clears up odors of putrefaction
effectively. It has been used in surgery, in ulcerative carcinoma, in head
colds, acute rhinitis and rhinosinusitis, and chronic ear infections and
inflammations. It has also been used for Diabetic leg ulcers, contagious
impetigo (a scabby, pustular skin eruption), rectal sores, vaginitis, and
infection of the uterine cervix. Another doctor used it effectively for
pyorrhea. Chlorophyllin is a derivative of chlorophyll. It was shown to be
a potent, dose-responsive inhibitor of aflatoxin B-1 DNA adduction and
cancer formation in rainbow trout liver. Inhibition of up to 77% occurred
at chlorophyllin levels well within the chlorophyll content of some leafy
green vegetables. The authors conclude that the finding 'may have
important implications in intervention and dietary management of human
cancer risks.'
INDICATIONS : Odors,
infections, sores and inflammations, gum disease, cancers.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 100
mg to 200 mg of chlorophyll or chlorophyllin per day.
