DR. Pete burjorn, my publisist will now address these posts for me. i'm booked untill December. lol...
 
I don't ask you to eat fish from your tank, I don't normally eat mine, but,,, I am not sure that we are using the same language here, chlorophyll is not a solvent.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

A solvent is a liquid that dissolves a solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution. The most common solvent in everyday life is water. The term organic solvent refers to most other solvents that are organic compounds and contain carbon atoms. Solvents usually have a low boiling point and evaporate easily or can be removed by distillation, thereby leaving the dissolved substance behind. Solvents should therefore not react chemically with the dissolved compounds — they have to be inert. Solvents can also be used to extract soluble compounds from a mixture, the most common example is the brewing of coffee or tea with hot water. Solvents are usually clear and colorless liquids and most of them have a characteristic smell. The concentration of a solution is the amount of compound that is dissolved in a certain volume of solvent. The solubility is the maximal amount of compound that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent at a specified temperature.

Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g. tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g. toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g. hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes), in perfumes (ethanol), and in chemical syntheses.

By definitition chlorophyll is NOT a solvent,
chlorophyll is a greenish set of pigments containing porphyrin rings, in a solution it is the solate not the solvent, it is most readily soluble in ether which IS a solvent.

Water, acetone, gasoline, alcohol, and carbon tetrachloride are also solvents.
 
chlorophyll, is solvent like, not solvent, in terms of its ability to detoxify vile toxic substances, it is present in anything containing green pigment, my bad, it does however act like a solvent, but tech-speaking, although we have a very strong argument here on paper, it is, however a key element in detoxification of toxic substances...chlorophyll is still a major component that exists in our rivers and lakes that detoxifies pollutants and neutralizes bacterias, and it is missing in the home aquaria. ps. i don't have a book handy, my answers are, and have been off the top of my head... i wish i had time like you to do all this reserch....remember the eleventh commandment, those who sweat lose...wow i just realized i'm gonna have like 1000 posts after this clash of mine against MFK's EGO click.

I had no idea that chlorophyll did much more than photosynthesis. Can you show me where it says that it detoxifies vile substances or detoxifies pollutants and neutralizes bacterias? I can't find that anywhere. :(

And I don't think chlorophyll is in evenryhing containing green pigment. A green sweater does not have chlorophyll in it.
 
i learned it was in plants... not sure about sweaters``
 
Ah, I think I am getting it now. With your holistic background, I think you're referring to stuff like this:
http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2005-09-01/goods_health.php
And just a few words from that article:
"We looked at all the claims made about wheat grass and other grasses sold in health food stores. Then we looked at all the scientific literature, and nothing supported any of these claims at all. Chlorophyll was cited as one of the values of eating these grasses, so we looked at chlorophyll specifically in terms of known health benefits and found no scientific evidence. The reason there are no good hard science studies on it is because there is no evidence of chlorophyll absorption. It's broken down in the stomach and intestines. There's no evidence the human metabolism uses it, so there's no food reason to study it."

JOHN SWARTZBERG, MD, clinical professor of medicine, chair, editorial board, U of California Berkeley Wellness Letter, Berkeley
Also, on most (if not all) chlorophyll products, you'll see this: The above statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.


Fishking, I think we can consider your myth - busted.
 
um, actually clay i'm not, and by the way the FDA, is one of the most controversial organizations in existance that has tried , and continues to blackball the theraputic supplement, and holistic health industry, (they are a net work of Doctors), who don't want people to get to healthy, no buisness for them bro, no gifts, and promotions, for pushing their (legal) approved pills, the ones that do more harm then good, ever listen to those (pill) commercials and the SIDE EFFECTS, they'er FDA approved brother,whats up withthat? and i'm defitnetly not gonna cite these incidents here, not with you as an audience, get with the times friend, people are, living longer today then ever before because of the theraputic COMPLIMENTS, that are available today, to argue against that, would be to argue against growth...the substance i'm talking about is the natural element found in large bodies of water, unadultered, in its natural form, to propose i'm refering to this website you listed, is pure nonsence on your part, man i'm talking about a naturally occuring substance, not some tablet, or liquid preparation found in walmarts, where you purchase YOUR generic brand vitamins...FDA=friends, doctors, asses...scammers, idiots, jerk offs. today in the new york post, a boy died of cancer of the brain because this gang wouldn't take a non insured patient, i'm sure these doctors were FDA approved, clay these organizations are all about money period... not for you and me... well, maybe for you, but not for me.
