Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has the potential to change public and medical understanding of diabetes

There are 537 million people in the world suffering from diabetes, accounting for 6.7%, while in China, 140 million people have diabetes, accounting for 10%. According to the “Expert Consensus on Screening, Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Microvascular Disease at the Grassroots Level (2020 Edition)” of the Chinese Microcirculation Society, there are still 500 million potential diabetic people in China. These two numbers are astonishing, indicating that diabetes is trending among younger people very rapidly and has become the third largest killer after cancer and coronary heart disease. Currently, there is no cure for diabetes. Once diagnosed, diabetes requires life-long medication and injections. It is the most troublesome chronic disease, and the public is aware of its harmful effects.

What is worrying is why China has the most diabetes per capita in the world? Is there something wrong with our eating habits?

I have no special pathological research on diabetes, but I know a basic truth: all diabetes drugs are designed to lower blood sugar, that is, to lower blood sugar as soon as possible after it rises. However, if the blood sugar is lowered too much, hypoglycemia can easily occur, which can be life-threatening. .

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a eukaryotic organism in nature. It was approved as a new food raw material by the National Health Commission in May 2022. Subsequently, we have seen a number of low GI or low glycemic foods added with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii on the market. Such as noodles, biscuits, instant noodles and low GI flour. As the person in charge of the Journal of Health and Nutrition, I have been following this investigation for more than a year, and finally came to an astonishing preliminary conclusion: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has the potential to change the current situation of China, a country with a large number of diabetes, and may change the public and medical community’s understanding of diabetes. .

Adding 6% Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to flour to make various foods will most likely become a low GI or low glycemic food. This is definitely proven from the human experiment report of the Beijing Nutrition Source Research Institute and the reports of two certification agencies, but it cannot be understood from the usual mathematical conversion model, because flour has more than 70% carbohydrates, minus The sugar content of 6% Chlamydomonas reinhardtii should be above 65%, and it is impossible to reach a GI value below 55 (low GI standard), but the human test result is that the GI value is below 55. This shows that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has an extraordinary effect of inhibiting the rise of blood sugar (or slowing the rise of blood sugar).

To this end, we have followed up on more than a dozen diabetic patients who eat Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and they all said that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a very good effect on controlling blood sugar. Basically, if you eat it, you will not have high blood sugar levels, but if you don’t eat it, you will have high blood sugar levels. The basic performance of eating Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is that the mental state is improved, fatigue is significantly reduced, and sleep is better. In particular, the case of 63-year-old Mr. Wang taking Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to control sugar is particularly typical.

Mr. Wang said that due to lack of exercise after cancer surgery in 2010, he was diagnosed with diabetes in 2011. He started taking injections instead of taking medicine. He was exhausted from fatigue, frequent urination, thirst, poor sleep and daily periods of low blood sugar. , and erosion began to appear on both feet, accompanied by habitual diarrhea, severe eczema, and sequelae of myocarditis (long breathing), and she caught colds five or six times a year.

At the beginning of 2020, he ate his first bowl of Chlamydomonas noodles with 5% added, and immediately felt that his fatigue was significantly reduced. Since then, he has eaten Chlamydomonas reinhardtii noodles every day and tested his blood sugar to observe the curve every day. After a week, he felt that the symptoms of diabetes had basically disappeared and began to gradually Reduce the dosage of injections and medicines, and cancel all injections and medicines after two weeks. He concluded: The performance of eating Chlamydomonas reinhardtii food is that the highest value of blood sugar (half an hour to one hour after a meal) is basically maintained at around 10 (usually around 15) and then begins to slowly decline, figuratively speaking, it rises. The gain is neither high nor low. The good thing is that there are basically no symptoms of diabetes and no hypoglycemia. Moreover, the weight no longer decreases after losing 12 kilograms. The eczema disappears, the intestines are normal, and there is basically no weight gain. I have shortness of breath and chest tightness, and I haven’t had a cold or Yang in the past four years, which shows that my immunity has been significantly enhanced. According to the monitoring results, he said that even the staple food of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii should not be eaten too much at a time, 50-70 grams is appropriate. Symptoms of hyperglycemia will occur if it exceeds 70 grams. If you eat staple food such as rice, your blood sugar will still rise. Very high. He repeatedly emphasized that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii blocks sugar, not lowers it. The fundamental difference is that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can significantly reduce or eliminate most of the symptoms of diabetes, but it must be eaten every day and every meal. This case shows that we may need to re-understand how to treat diabetes. High and low blood sugar may be the root cause of adverse symptoms and complications.

There are many more examples like Mr. Wang’s above, but they all come to a conclusion: to have good results, you have to eat every meal, and you can’t eat intermittently. Mr. Wang described that when eating staple food, eat staple food with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii added, one bag of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii meal replacement powder in the morning and evening, and ensure that you consume more than 10 grams of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii every day. Your immunity will be greatly improved, and other functions of the body will be improved. There will also be great improvements.

There is no concrete scientific evidence yet on how Chlamydomonas reinhardtii prevents blood sugar spikes. However, judging from the results of human clinical and animal experiments, there are conclusions of “assisted lowering of blood sugar”. Mr. Wang described that from the perspective of anti-glycemic effect, the staple food of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can be roasted, fried, steamed or boiled, but the fried effect is not very good, which reminds him of the crude polysaccharide in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The content is relatively high, between 15% and 25%. Because crude polysaccharides are not converted into glucose in the human intestine, under the action of roasting, steaming, and boiling, the monosaccharides and polysaccharides of carbohydrates are fused together, making Part of the monosaccharides thus become polysaccharides, thereby reducing the amount of monosaccharides converted into glucose in the intestine? This requires further scientific experiments to verify.

The author also believes that the organic selenium content of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is very high, reaching 60 μg of selenium per 10 pieces of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which is exactly the daily intake recommended by the country. Among the top ten honors given to selenium by the World Health Organization is “trace amount”. It can be seen that the resistance of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to blood glucose may be a combination of several elements, including the relatively high niacin content of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and one of the functions of niacin is to maintain insulin. normal function.

Medication is not as good as food therapy, and treatment is not as good as prevention. We will further cooperate with key medical institutions to carry out clinical research and data collection on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, and we also hope that other research institutions will carry out multi-faceted research and model establishment. Perhaps the radical cure of diabetes can be solved through a variety of methods including dietary therapy, which may become a major breakthrough in the history of modern human health.
