More on E3Live and How Research Is Proving Its Value for Health

What It Is, Where It Comes From, What It Does for You

There's only one ingredient in E3Live, and that is 100% Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA for short, an edible freshwater plant. It is a very nutritious whole food which contains over 64 nutrients that are 97% absorbed by the body. Although it has been eaten for centuries by indigenous peoples, for the first time in history, AFA - nature's most basic food - is available in a complete, fresh frozen, liquid form for more effective absorption.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae which means invisible flower of the water, is a fresh water nutritional plant referred to as cyanophyta. Cyanophyta, also known as blue-green algae are plants that grow in nearly all droplets of sunlit water, in every gram of soil, on the bark of trees, and on rock surfaces. They are at the very foundation of the entire food chain. It is estimated that there are as many as 50,000 species, including various seaweeds and plankton. Collectively, cyanophyta are responsible for 90% of the Earth's oxygen and 80% of its food supply.

Perhaps the most interesting of these unicellular plants is the cyanophyta community in the Oregon Upper Klamath Lake, APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE, or AFA. The growing conditions in Upper Klamath Lake provide a wonderful nutrient base for AFA. The lake is located in the mineral-rich “Ring of Fire” region. Its astonishingly high mineral concentration is due to a massive volcanic eruption that occurred in the vicinity thousands of years ago, covering the area with millions of tons of ash. Seventeen streams and rivers empty the surrounding volcanic basin into the 140 square mile lake. In an average year, 50,000 tons of mineral-rich silt are deposited into Upper Klamath Lake, making it one of the richest nutrient traps in the world.

Much has been learned about this amazing food since it became more readily available over 20 years ago. There are more benefits being discovered every day as it is introduced to the medical and scientific communities. AFA has been available in powders and capsules, but now, with the introduction of E3Live, AFA is available in its much more potent LIQUID form.

Christian Drapeau, author of Primordial Food, says this about the wonderful health benefits that research with AFA is discovering:

“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."

Exciting Research on AFA Effects on the Immune System

Recently the first stage of an extensive research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada produced some remarkable results. The project studies the effect of AFA on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as on general blood physiology. Researchers discovered that eating AFA had a profound and unique effect on Natural Killer (NK) cells. The results were recently published under the title: Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells.

NK cells have the ability to search for and recognize cells that are cancerous or have been infected by a virus, and kill them. The team of research scientists at the Royal Victoria Hospital, led by Dr. Gitte S. Jensen, discovered that eating AFA triggers the movement of 40% of the circulating NK cells from the blood to the tissues where their main function is to perform immune surveillance and eliminate cancerous and virally-infected cells. Further research may prove that eating a small amount of AFA every day could assist in the prevention of cancer and viral infections. No other substance is known to initiate such a movement of NK cells in the body.

Drapeau says this is one of the first studies that provides scientific data supporting the numerous testimonials and empirical evidence that have encouraged the use of AFA as a dietary supplement for health benefits. He cautions, however, "we are currently doing studies to determine if the effects of AFA on cholesterol in rats will translate to humans." Drapeau collaborated with researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
