T from Houston, according to this ebook, spirulina is protective of kidneys and liver. It is only 39 pages or so long, well worth reading. It has information on both chlorella and spirulina.

My practioner has muscle tested me on several occassions with spirulina and all times tested showed spirulina weaken my body and liver. The strength test when muscle tested went from a 10 without it to a 3 with adding spirulina into my body. That is quite a change. Spirulina is toxic to the liver....Replied By Art (Vancouver Bc, Canada) on 08/10/2012
Spirulina has made me dizzy when lying down. I was only taking 1/8 of a teaspoon before breakfast and after 3 weeks I could not get out of bed for the dizzyness. I have quit taking it and I am back to normal. I do take 350mg a night of BHT plus other supplements.Replied By Spirulina35 (Placerville, Ca) on 07/17/2017
I have been taking Spirulina for over 35 years--daily. Some do have intestinal issues and maybe stomach issues for a few days, but it is mostly protein and vitamins. But there is a unique combination of nutrients that do work in a special, healthy way. Perhaps, rarely someone has a sort of allergic reaction like some do to strawberries, or shrimp. But that is most certainly rare--but possible I'm sure.
As far as I am concerned, I take 6 tabs a day. After a time when I started 35 years ago, it healed my life-long intestinal/stomach issues, and 24/7 allergies. I also had diverticulosis--which I have never had a recurrence of. I've never taken prescription meds or supplements.
Because I'm in my mid-70's (no health issues & no prescription meds), I've done some research and decided to take ACV w/baking soda, and some plant-based nutrients--like Amazing Grass Green Superfood. It's a plant-based powder with a large assortment of vitamins and minerals--just to boost what I'm getting through the food I eat.
