Chlorophyll: The Blood of Plants for a Superior Blood Bank

After the events of September 11, 2001, the Red Cross quickly organized a national campaign to
solicit donations for their human blood banks. It made me wonder if the Red Cross is now
obsessed with filling blood banks just as the public health departments are now obsessed with
pushing vaccines. Think about it. Many restaurants in our area do not comply with basic public
health sanitation practices. And yet the health department appears more interested in Hepatitis A
vaccine compliance among employees even though adherence to basic protocols of hygiene and
sanitation have proven to be more effective in preventing the spread of Hepatitis A, than the
vaccine. Wasn't the original intent of the Red Cross to assist the victims of natural and man-made
disasters? In these times of disease-scare, it is more important than ever to understand how our
bodies work in both sickness and in health and be empowered with the simple, inexpensive
remedies that nature provides us.

It could be said that the secret of all life on earth depends on a special process that only the green
plants possess. This process is called photosynthesis. All green plants absorb energy from the
sun, take water and minerals through their roots and air through through leaves en route to
maturity. Using the energy from the sun, plants utilize water, minerals and carbon dioxide to
make starches, fats, proteins, vitamins and everything they require to grow.
It was little more than a century ago that chemists isolated a green pigment from the green leaves
of plants that they called chlorophyll. It wasn't until 1913 that a German chemist, Dr. Richard
Willstatter, correctly identified the true function of chlorophyll. Dr. Willstatter pointed out that
all energy comes from the sun and that green plants alone possess the secret of how to capture
this solar energy. Out of this process stems much of what we know as life and growth. Man and
animals consume this energy from plants as food. Dr. Willstatter's discoveries revolutionized the
scientific world's understanding of the relationship between the sun and life on earth, but
something even more amazing has since been discovered:
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.
This discovery was a challenge for scientists to find out if chlorophyll, so closely related to our
human blood, had any possible medical uses.
Emile Burgi, a research scientist from Switzerland, experimented with the application of
chlorophyll medicinally and found that it was helpful in improving various anemic conditions,
improving the action of the heart, reducing abnormally high blood pressure and improving one's
overall health.
Since the discovery of chlorophyll's healing properties, many other therapeutic applications of
this green substance have been tried successfully. My experiences with the chlorophyll derived
from young alfalfa plants is with Bernard Jensen's products, sold in health food stores in pint
glass jars. I have used it primarily for supplementation while pregnant and nursing.
I had also heard that liquid chlorophyll, taken orally, can be used as an alternative to blood
transfusions. When I was living in Washington state, a friend referred a family to me that was in
a panic over their son being scheduled for a blood transfusion the following day. The boy had
been in the hospital with leukemia and had already undergone chemotherapy and radiation
treatments. I told them to purchase a pint of chlorophyll from the health food store and have him
drink the entire bottle before he fell asleep that night.
In the morning, when the nurses checked his blood, they were amazed that his blood count and
platelet levels were normal.
The following year I received another call from a friend who was in the hospital. The health
professionals at the hospital had told her that she would need a blood transfusion the following
day. She did not want a blood transfusion and was willing to do anything to avoid one. I told her
the same thing - drink a full pint of chlorophyll before retiring and she would not need one.
Again, the nurses were amazed that her blood was normal in the morning and had to cancel the
blood transfusion.
Although I have heard of direct blood transfusions using chlorophyll, I have no personal
experience or documentation of this being done. In Bernard Jensen's book, The Healing Power
of Chlorophyll, he claims there have been numerous experiments with chlorophyll on rats. In one
such experiment, the blood was extracted from a rat and replaced with liquid chlorophyll. The rat
went right on living.
Following is a list of disease conditions that have either improved or cleared up entirely by using
liquid chlorophyll in conjunction with a living foods diet:
Hepatitis and other liver diseases
All forms of anemia
Asthma and hayfever
Pyorrhea
Varicose veins
Hemorrhoids
Ulcers - internal and external
High and Low blood sugar
Offensive body odors
Sore throat
Actually chlorophyll will assist in correcting any imbalance in the body due in part to its high
bio-available iron content. This allows the body to utilize more oxygen, aiding in the removal of
accumulated toxins. We also know that the internal use of chlorophyll strengthens the cells and
inhibits bacterial growth.
In Dr. Theodore M. Rudolph's book, Chlorophyll: Nature's Green Magic, step by step
instructions are given on how to use chlorophyll in various situations.
For diseases of the throat like tonsillitis and laryngitis, he suggests gargling with a solution of
one part chlorophyll to nine parts warm water every two to three hours. He recommends that one
NOT swallow this solution due to the germs and bacteria it may contain.
In cases of gastric or peptic ulcers, and other cases of gastritis, the use of chlorophyll can provide
fairly immediate relief. The suggested dosage is one tablespoon of chlorophyll in a half glass of
water taken every two hours.
Liquid chlorophyll is also appropriate for diseases of the female organs. A solution of one part
chlorophyll to nine parts water is very soothing applied as a douche.
And from Bernard Jensen's book, The Healing Power of Chlorophyll, we are told that
chlorophyll and green vegetables control the calcium levels in our body. He suggests that women
replenish their calcium by consuming more green vegetables and supplementing with
chlorophyll since menstrual blood contains up to 40 times more calcium than our normal blood.
He also noted that vitamin K was originally discovered in alfalfa juice and that chlorophyll is one
of the richest known sources of this vitamin. [For more info. on vitamin K and the harm from
synthetic vitamin K injections, see the July, 1999 edition of The Idaho Observer at:

As you can see, liquid chlorophyll is an essential item to have in your home medicine cabinet.
The importance of keeping our bloodstream clean and blood count high is absolutely vital. Tim
O'Shea, D.C. states this point well in his book, The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination is Not
Immunization:
“The condition of a child's blood determines the quality of an immune system that has to last a
lifetime. The blood is the medium in which all the cells of the body are bathed, from birth till
death. The amounts of oxygen and nutrients in the blood promote life, determine longevity.
Anything foreign -- chemicals, bad bacteria and viruses, toxic foods, unproven injectables --
promotes death. It's that simple.”
And also from this same book: “By allowing the implantation of an attenuated virus or bacteria
into the body, we have done something nature would never permit. We have violated the sanctity
of the bloodstream.”
As we are being bombarded with the threat of bioterrorism, the stockpiling of smallpox vaccine
and the creation of an AIDS vaccine, we are also being told how important it is to give the gift of
life, BLOOD. Is it possible to actually get healthier after receiving a blood transfusion? Below
are just a few of the most obvious physical reasons why I avoid giving or receiving blood or
blood products:
1. Most people have had multiple vaccines and a diet consisting of processed, devitalized foods.
This contributes to toxicity in the bloodstream and is passed from person to person through
human blood products.
2. There are many pathogens that are blood-borne.
3. Our blood is a unique genetic marker just like our fingerprints and the irises of our eyes. Many
naturopathic physicians who use a diagnostic tool called live blood cell analysis, have proven the
uniqueness and individuality of our blood.
Though much more difficult to quantify, the spiritual repercussions of our bodies being forced to
accept another person's blood, particularly when God has provided us with a natural alternative
to blood transfusions. A few ministers have even suggested that receiving injections of another's
blood is a form of cannibalism.
Over the last two and a half years we have explored how common ailments and chronic diseases
can be remedied through the lifestyle changes and the application of certain principles that
naturally follow a wholistic understanding of how the body really works. Only in a crisis or
trauma situation would the issue of a blood transfusion arise, the principles of wholistic healing
still apply.
