Chlorophyll is known to be "the plant's blood," that is, the principal element in the physiology of plant life. Chlorophyll is a substance that is rich in magnesium whose form is similar to that of human blood. Actually, the only difference between chlorophyll molecule and that of blood, is a central atom which is iron in blood versus magnesium in chlorophyll.
According to experts, this similarity between the chlorophyll molecule and that of blood causes the body to have the capability of transforming a chlorophyll molecule into one of hemoglobin by changing just one atom of magnesium into one of iron. Chlorophyll Fights Against GermsDuring the 1950s, many laboratories tested chlorophyll's power to kill germs. The consensus of these reports was that, for the most part, chlorophyll is bacteriostatic, and only slightly bacteriocidal. This means that chlorophyll limits the growth of many types of germs not by directly killing them, but by providing an environment which interferes with their growth. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria, those which do not require oxygen. Dentists and physicians have successfully used chlorophyll to control mouth infections such as pyorrhea and Vincent's angina. Chlorophyll solutions provide significant relief of pain, reduction of inflammation, and the control of odor for patients with serious mouth diseases. There are several reported cases of the successful use of chlorophyll for bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the tissue surrounding the heart. Chlorophyll has also been used successfully to treat chronic and acute sinusitis, vaginal infections, and chronic rectal lesions. Chlorophyll the HealerTopical therapy refers to the use of a healing agent on the skin or other body surface. The number of surface conditions in which chlorophyll has been successfully used would be unbelievable were they not so well documented. And chlorophyll therapy provides an excellent bonus. In hundreds of experiments and trials on humans and test animals, chlorophyll therapy has always been shown to have no toxic side effects. Not just low toxicity, NO toxicity--whether ingested, injected or rubbed onto a surface. This fact alone makes chlorophyll one of the most unique therapeutic substances known to medical science.
