Spirulina is a blue algaea that 'grows' in the sea.  or it can come from special cultures in controled enviroments.\nanyway, it's a great way (natural) to detox the organism. \nand bring extra minerals...\n\nit's great in every illness; it can even go as sustainer of good tonus in day to day life.\n\nsorry abt ur grandma... hope she improves and this helps..

I saw this on Animal Planet, and I can't remember it's name!  Isn't it a water bear or something?  Really kind of neat.

Haven't heard of it. I checked Google and there is nothing.

I have heard of it and I am looking for it myself. I have found several libraries with copies -- mostly college libraries here and there in the US -- but they are not willing to share off campus.\n\nI have also contacted BBC. To no avail. I sure would appreciate it if you are able to lay your hands on a copy. I teach about recycling. Fungus is nature's recycler!! :-)\n\nIf you're asking about the video, I only have my memory of what it was about. It described what fungus was and its role in our world as a decomposer. That without it, the world would be littered with unrotting carcasses of our dead flora and fauna.

Bladderwrack is a type of brown algae (seaweed) that grows on the northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and on the northern Atlantic coast and Baltic coast of Europe. The main stem of bladderwrack, known as the thallus, is used medicinally. The thallus has tough, air-filled pods or bladders to help the algae float—thus the name bladderwrack. Although bladderwrack is sometimes called kelp, that name is not specific to this species and should be avoided.

yes it is. \n\nit is grown in ponds, and is exposed to a lot of sunlight. \n\nhowever, it can also be grown inside. but it would need a lot of light.

Can you give us any information?  Where did you see the name?

You can check on theee "Alternative Medicine" 1999. 28th issue.\nFor me it is a life changing experience. I been drinking it in the last 4 years. They can not say it is a cure, but it helps to harmonize your immune system, and it helps to get the side effect from chemo and radiation.Of course you fill tired, but the Major side effect are not their. You have to give your body the right "gasoline". Helping to keep your system in balance.I been fine in the last 4 years. But only the 100% pure is working faster and correctly. If you would like to know how can you buy it on wholesale I can get you the info. angie45hu@yahoo.com\nTheir is a company WHO did ten years research on Aloe Vera, and only 3 kinds are good for human system. Aloe Vera Barbadensies Miller (FDA). Only one company WHO makes stabilize Aloe Vera, no preservatives.It is worth it! Even if you are healthy drink it! Prevention!!! Better be save then sorry!

Seagrasses, for one. (Contrary to popular opinion, seaweed is a form of *algae*.)

Yes, I have. It was with a tropical plant. I can't tell you the name of it. But it was awful. I never touched that plant again and had my brothers pull it out and remove it from the yard.

RED TIDE:\nNot every plant poisoning is caused by a large, terrestrial plant. Several microscopic marine algae are notoriously poisonous to hapless humans who consume them in shellfish. \nThese Algae are tiny, single-celled plants that, like plants on land, capture and use the sun's energy to grow. The growth of algae is an essential life process, as it is the first step in transferring solar energy into aquatic food webs. The huge variety of marine algae are typically subject to annual cycles of growth & decay. These organisms thrive and multiply principally during the spring and summer, in response to increased light intensity and favourable levels of salinity & nutrients in ocean water. During the growth period, or bloom, each single algae cell may replicate itself one million times in two to three weeks.\n\nDuring the reproductive riot of the bloom, warm, shallow seawater tends to become discoloured by the sheer concentration of algae seeking the sunlight. This discolouration is a result of the various pigments the plants use to trap sunlight; depending on the species of algae present, the water may reflect pink, violet, orange, yellow, blue, green, brown, or red. Since red is the most common pigment, the phenomenon has come to be called Red Tide.\n\n\n2)DIVISIONS\nThe fungi kingdom is broken down into four phylums, the chytrids, zygote fungi, ascomycota, and basidium. The phylums are such:\n\nChytrids: Most scientifically inclined people assume that all the fungi were derived from an algal ancestor who lost its ability to photosynthesize. This then turned into to the flagellate fungi. A fungal ancestor then gave rise to the rest of the fungi, and usually this ancestor was assumed to be a member of the Chytridiomycota, a phylum which produced posteriorly, uniflagellated zoospores. The chytridomycota(chytrid) have the basic fungi key enzymes, cell walls made of chytin, and metabolic pathways that resemble the fungi's. They seem like the outcast of the fungi world, and are fungi because they are sort of like the rest of the fungi classes. \n\nZygote Fungi: Zygote fungi are terrestrial, which means they live only on land, usually on soil or decaying plants. One group of zygote fungi that live in the roots of plants is mycorrhizae. Another common zygote fungi is teh black bread mold, which absorb the bread's nutrients by spreading out on it, and extending hyphea in it. Zygote fungi have sporangia, which develop at the tips of hyphea. Haploid spores grow in the sporangium, and then are dispersed through the air. The reproduction will be talked about more extensivly in that section. Some zygote fungi can aim thier spores, and the picture on the left shows the spore being thrown by its sporangium at grass. \n\nAscomycota: Otherwise known as sac fungi, they can be aqueous, as well as terrestrial. The features that are importaint about this division is that they produce sexual spores in saclike asci. They reproduce asexually and disperse spores in the wind. They have a very long dikaryotic stage, in which they deveilop asci. \n\nBasidium: These are also known as club fungi, which have club-like tops. Typical mushrooms are an example of the club-like reproductive site. They decompose wood, and other plant material. The basidium have fruiting bodys called basidiocarps, which are the source of sexual spores. They sometimes attract flies

They think it was algae.
