Bluegreenalgae
Primordial Food Book
 Published 2003 Unity International, 61 pages, paperback.
Christian Drapeau, a foremost scientist in the study of Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA), holds a Masters of Science degree in Neurology and
Neurosurgery from the Montreal Neurological Institute, an affiliate
of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and has been extensively involved
in the study of nutrition, naturopathy and various natural therapies.
Most significantly, Mr. Drapeau collaborated with many scientists
affiliated with Harvard University, McGill University, the University
of Illinois, Oregon State University, the University of New Mexico
and the University of Mississippi in the study of the effects of blue-green
algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) on human health. Mr. Drapeau continues
his involvement in the clinical study of AFA. (excerpt from back cover)
"The health benefits of
Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) have been
reported for more than two decades, yet it is only recently that science
has revealed the mechanisms by which AFA acts on the body, and the
astonishing health benefits of AFA. AFA contains a wide variety of
phytonutrients that promote health, such as chlorophyll, carotenoids
and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
AFA contains unique molecules that modulate various aspects of human
health such as:
-
Phenylethylamine (PEA) known as the "molecule
of love." Beside
enhancing concentration and attention, PEA is a natural mood elevator
and anti-depressant.
-
Phycocyanin, the blue pigment in AFA, which is
a natural selective COX-2 inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory
properties.
-
A
polysaccharide that stimulates the migration of immune cells in the
body; the only natural compound known to stimulate immune cell migration.
-
But the most extraordinary discovery is the ability of AFA to stimulate
stem cell release and migration, making AFA
the first natural compound known to stimulate the natural innate
phenomenon of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body."
