What Is Aphanizomenon-Flos-Aquae (AFA)?

Once upon a time a life form known as a fresh water seaweed or Aphanizomenon Flos Aqua began to grow upon the earth. It was so hearty that it has lived through extreme environmental changes up to this day! Because of its high nutrient content, it can pass some of its fortitude on to any living thing that eats it. Aphanizomenon Flos Aqua, or AFA, is at the base of the food chain.  Klamath Lake in Oregon is one of the only places on Earth that has the ideal ecosystem to support this wild food.

If you were to take some lava ash and human ash, you would find them to be almost identical in composition. This wild super food, Aphanizomenon Flos Aqua, feeds on up to a 35 foot layer of lava ash in the lake bottom. It has recently been found that the composition of this wild food closely mimics breast milk, one of nature's most powerful immune enhancers.

About 7,000 years ago Mount Mazama, currently Crater Lake, was a volcano that erupted with a force some 300 times more powerful than Mt. Saint Helens. Through some many rivers and springs this lava ash, packed with nutrients, brings this source of life down into Klamath Lake, empowering this wild super food daily.

You see, the food we buy commercially does provide us with some benefits, but it is also tainted with commercial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. Food that is accessed via agri-business derives its source of nutrients from the soil. The next best scenario is food organically grown, but still at best, it is only as good as its nutrient source.

By combining AFA in our diets, we access a source of nutrients that are derived from one of the most nutrient rich substances on the planet (lava ash). This wild super food, actually fresh water seaweed, being one of the highest sources of chlorophyll, may cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate the body along with the mind.

Does AFA cure? No! You can only cure ham or leather. If the body has the ability to heal itself, the balanced nutrients in this wild super food may support the body to do its own work. The body always strives for balance, and even though fresh water seaweed does not heal, it feeds the body what it needs so that it may maintain  the immune system.  Even though a person does not dramatically change their diet, eating this food can and may help the body to more easily achieve balance. You may notice that you gravitate more towards eating vegetables as you eat the AFA. Your body will tell you what it needs. Listen to it.
