A major research breakthrough combined with a personal discovery of the human health-enhancing benefits of marine phytoplankton may turn out to be the nutritional discovery of the millennium. When Tom Harper, the owner of a facility that grows marine phytoplankton, was diagnosed with a terminal form of lung cancer, intuition compelled him to turn to the phytoplankton. After eating small quantities of this strange substance, he found his health rapidly restored. Not only was the cancer a thing of his past, but his life-long challenge to maintain a healthy weight was finally achieved, and he was able to eliminate his use of insulin - a product that he had been dependent on for 17 years.

Millions of dollars and years of research resulted in a patent pending process, discovered on Vancouver Island, Canada, that allows the “spring bloom” of marine phytoplankton, to be naturally grown and harvested on land, in a controlled environment, without damage to the planetary environment. In fact, more phytoplankton are returned to the ocean than were contained in the original sea water that was originally brought in.

“Spring bloom” is an event that occurs in temperate coastal waters, such as those along parts of Vancouver Island, every spring, when conditions of light, nutrients and mixing are optimal. Under these conditions a diverse assortment of microalgae species, including the primary producers called diatoms, grow very rapidly. These phytoplankton are the food utilized by marine creatures such as whales and fish.

Marine phytoplankton are tiny organisms that have the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and amino acids. These single celled plants are the “vegetation” of the oceans and basis of all other life forms on earth. Phytoplankton are responsible for making up to 90% of the earth’s oxygen.

Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, phytoplankton promotes and maintain optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. When the body is missing critical components, it is unable to maintain the balance of these systems, and malfunctions (disease) result. Overdependence on land-based food sources often lead to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements.

The phytoplankton are Nature’s gift to assist us on our journey to optimal health and wellness through balanced nutrition.
