My younger sister, 15 years ago, developed breast cancer. She's fine. I want everyone to know that. But as she was preparing for her chemotherapy, her oncologist, which is a cancer specialist, advised her to change her diet to an alkaline diet. They didn't tell her why or what it was. So my sister called me. I have an MBA.

I was doing international business, nothing to do with nutrition, but I'm a good researcher and I love my sister. So I said, I have no idea what this alkaline diet thing is, but I'll find out. And I did. And it turned out to be mostly a plant-based diet for two reasons. One is the plants have phytonutrients in chlorophyll, which have been proven to build your immune system.

And chemotherapy does cause havoc to your immune system. So I'm sure my sister's oncologist wanted her to have the strongest immune system possible. Number two, turns out that there was a German scientist by the name of Otto Warburg, who won a Nobel Prize back in the 40s for discovering that cancer cannot exist in cells that are alkaline.

And the range of alkalinity, we can get into this later in more detail. The range goes from 0 to 14. So your cells should be 7.1 to be slightly alkaline. So an alkaline diet is a plant-based diet, and the alkalinity would prevent more cancer from taking hold in other cells. So those were the two reasons I assume her oncologist wanted her to have an alkaline diet.

I did some research for her, found foods to eat, what not to eat. She did go through chemo, completely healed. And afterwards, I started reading more about plant-based nutrition, was stunned by the science I had found because I'd been always in business, not in science. And so I thought, somebody needs to tell the world about this stuff. So I'm very passionate.

I gave up my 25-year corporate career, back to school, studying nutrition.

taught nutrition, plant-based nutrition, but this is what led me to algae because as I was trying to encourage people to eat more vegetables and plants, I learned that, oh, it was too hard for them, it took too much work, or they gave them gas, or the kids wouldn't eat them, their husbands wouldn't eat them, and they went bad quickly. A thousand... you know, excuses or reasons, not excuses.

And I'm sure your listeners will feel the same way. So I thought, okay, I know what this nutrition does, this green nutrition. If I can't get people to eat more vegetables, I have to find a way to get the nutrition into them quickly, effortlessly. And so back to my research I'd done. And when I got to algae, that's when the miracle happened.

Because first of all, it's the most alkaline food in the world. That box was checked. It's been documented as being the most nutrient-dense food in the world. We have a quote from NASA that says, one gram of algae has the same nutrition as a thousand grams of vegetables. One to a thousand. That's pretty big.

The United Nations has endorsed spirulina algae since 1974, which is 50 years ago, as the answer to world hunger because it has the highest protein in the world. Not just protein, but bioavailable protein, and it's a sustainable crop. 50 years where they grow it as an agricultural crop. It's a multi-billion dollar agricultural crop there. It's been studied for over 100 years.
