CGF makes chlorella most useful for improving growth patterns in children, maintaining health in old age, healing injuries, and initiating growth where it has been stunted from disease or degeneration, including Alzheimer's disease, sciatica, palsy, seizures, multiple sclerosis, nervousness, and other nerve disorders.

This is one of the most remarkable healing properties yet recorded for chlorella: its ability to actually repair nerve tissues throughout the body. People suffering from degenerative nerve disorders typically report positive results from using chlorella. This is because CGF (chlorella growth factor), which is found in the nucleus of the chlorella cell, actually promotes the body's innate healing ability to grow and repair nerve tissue.

It's unfortunate that more research isn't available in this area, because I think this represents an exciting and promising area of nutritional research. If a phytochemical found in this billion-year-old plant can actually help human beings repair nerve tissue, what extraordinary uses might it be put towards? Could it help people with spinal cord injuries? Could it help stroke victims? Could it actually prevent Alzheimer's Disease in patients with high risk?

Unfortunately, these questions have not been answered, and since nobody can patent chlorella, it's unlikely that any drug company is interested in sponsoring the necessary research to answer these questions. After all, consumers can buy chlorella anywhere. Drug companies have no way to control the market and, therefore, no way to profit from chlorella.

For now, the best we can go on is the anecdotal evidence, which is actually quite substantial. It may hold tremendous promise in treating the mental disorders now ravaging modern society:

In the developed countries where nutrient starvation takes place as a result of excessive refined food, intoxicants, and a glut of animal products, micro-algae such as spirulina, wild blue-green (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae), and chlorella, used in conjunction with unrefined vegetable foods, are helpful in healing the many prevalent disorders of the nerves and brain.
