The benefits of
fresh organic wheatgrass (excerpts from "The Wheatgrass
Book" by Ann Wigmore)
Wheat grass...
Increases red blood cell count, lowers blood pressure...It cleanses the
blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. It stimulates
metabolism and bodily enzyme systems in enriching the blood by
increasing red blood cell count, and in dilating the blood pathways
throughout the body, reducing blood pressure.
Stimulates the thyroid, correcting obesity, indigestion, etc. The
thyroid gland is also stimulated and normalized by the use of wheat
grass juice - an important step toward the correction of obesity,
indigestion and a host of other complaints.
Restores alkalinity to the blood...Wheat grass has an alkalising effect
on the blood. Its abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over
acidity in the blood. It can be used to relieve many internal pains. It
has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis,
constipation, diarrhoea, and other complaints of the gastrointestinal
tract.
How to drink it...Ann Wigmore suggests drinking Wheat grass juice in
small amounts throughout the course of the day, always on an empty or
nearly empty stomach. In general, two to four ounces every day or every
other day is sufficient. Slowly sipping small quantities of the juice
gives your body an opportunity to get used to its taste and effect.
Taking one to two-ounce drinks straight or mixed with other juices
(fruit & vegetable) and sipping slowly, will help prevent nausea or
stomach upset. On a healing regime, Ann suggests you drink one or two
oz up to 3 or 4 x a day. And to take one day of rest.
Powerful detoxifier and liver and blood protector...The enzymes and
amino acids found in Wheat grass can protect us from carcinogens like no
other food or medicine can. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the
liver, bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.
Fights tumours and neutralizes toxins....Recent studies show that Wheat
grass juice has a powerful ability to fight tumours without the usual
toxicity of drugs that also inhibit cell-destroying agents. The many
active compounds found in grass juice can cleanse the blood and
neutralize and digest toxins in our cells.
Whether you have a cut finger you want to heal or you desire to lose
five pounds...enzymes must do the actual work. The life and abilities of
the enzymes found naturally in our bodies can be extended if we help
them from the outside by adding exogenous enzymes, like the ones found
in Wheat grass juice.
Remarkable similarity to our own blood...The 2nd important nutritional
aspect of chlorophyll is its remarkable similarity' to haemoglobin, the
compound that carries oxygen in the blood. Dr. Hagiwara a Japanese
science and health educator, is a leading advocate for the use of grass
as food and medicine. He reasons that since chlorophyll is soluble in
fat particles, and since fat particles are absorbed directly in to the
blood via the lymphatic system, that chlorophyll can also be absorbed in
this way. In other words, when the "blood" of plants is absorbed in
humans it is transformed into human blood, which transports nutrients to
every cell of the body.
Wheat grass implants reverse damage from inside the lower bowel...In the
case of illness, they stimulate a rapid cleansing of the lower bowel and
draw out accumulations of debris. Hold for 20 minutes.
Externally eliminates itching almost immediately...Wheat grass juice
externally applied to the skin can help eliminate itching almost
immediately.
It will soothe sunburned skin...and also acts as a disinfectant. Rubbed
into the scalp before a shampoo, it will help mend damaged hair and
alleviate itchy, scaly scalp conditions.
Wheat grass juice is soothing and healing for...cuts, burns, scrapes,
rashes, poison ivy, athlete's foot, insect bites, boils, sores , open
ulcers, tumours & so on.
As a sleep aid...merely place a tray of living Wheat grass near the head
of your bed. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate
healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly. Use as a
poultice and replace every two to four hours.
Add some to your bath water...and settle in for a nice, long soak.
Gargle with wheat grass...to sweeten the breath and firm up and tighten
gums.
Don't cook it...We can only get the benefits of the many enzymes found
in grass by eating it uncooked. Cooking destroys 100 percent of the
enzymes in food.
Neutralizes toxins...Wheat grass neutralizes toxic substances like
cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury and polyvinyl chloride.
The benefits of a liquid oxygen transfusion...Wheat grass juice contains
liquid oxygen. Oxygen is vital to many body processes: it stimulates
digestion (the oxidation of food), clearer thinking (the brain utilizes
25 percent of the bodily oxygen supply), and protective oxygenation of
the blood (a defence against anaerobic bacteria). Cancer cells cannot
exist in the presence of oxygen.
Turns grey hair to its natural colour again, raises energy
levels...Daily consumption of Wheat grass and sprouts can turn grey hair
to its natural colour again, and give you a limitless energy level.
Beauty treatment that slows down the aging process...Wheat grass will
cleanse your blood and help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing the aging
process down, way down, making you feel more alive now. It will help
tighten loose and sagging skin.
Lessens effect of radiation...One enzyme found in wheat grass, SOD,
lessens the effects of radiation and acts as an anti-inflammatory
compound that may prevent cellular damage following heart attacks or
exposure to irritants.
Restores fertility...Wheat grass restores fertility and promotes
youthfulness.
Just soaking in it can double your red blood cell count...Dr. Bernard
Jensen, found that none of the blood builders are superior to green
juices and wheat grass. In his book Chlorophyll Magic from Living Plant
Life, he mentions several cases where he was able to double the red
blood cell count in a matter of days merely by having patients soak in a
chlorophyll-water bath. Blood building results occur even more rapidly
when patients drink green juices and Wheat grass regularly.
Ann Wigmore on her own experience with wheat grass...At fifty years of
age my hair was gray, I had a terrible case of colitis and other colon
problems, I suffered from low energy and had no clear direction in life.
Out of desperation I turned to nature for relief. ...In wheat grass, raw
foods and exercise, I found what I feel is as close to the fountain of
youth as we are going to get. Twenty-five years after my discovery, my
hair was turned fully natural brown again. My weight has been a stable
119 and my energy level is limitless...
What's So Great About Wheat Grass Juice?
1. Wheat grass juice is 70% chlorophyll.
2. Chlorophyll is the first product of light and contains more light
energy than any other element.
3. Wheat grass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken orally and
as a colon implant without toxic side effects.
4. Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.
5. Wheat grass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain
chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level
in a highly-oxygenated environment.
6. Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the
body as a healer.
7. Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest Wheat
grass juice and uses up very little body energy.
8. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of
unfriendly bacteria.
9. Chlorophyll (wheat grass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies of
various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction.
The red cell count was returned to normal with 4 to 5 days of the
administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to
be extremely anaemic or low in red cell count.
10. Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on
Wheat grass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in
chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones.)
11. Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but Wheat grass is
superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by
man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals
from the soil.
12. Wheat grass has what is called the grass juice factor, which has
been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely.
13. Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic
disorders for 30 years using wheat grass.
14. Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them, and makes
them over.
15. Wheat grass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to
carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Dr. Earp Thomas, associate
of Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of Wheat grass is the equivalent of
350 pounds of carrots, lettuce, celery and so on.
16. Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
17. Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins in the body.
18. Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.
19. Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.
20. Wheat grass juice cures acne and even removes scars after it has
been ingested for seven to eight months. The diet must be improved at
the same time.
21. In The American Journal of Surgery (1940), Benjamin Cruskin. M.D.
recommended chlorophyll: to clear up foul-smelling odours, neutralize
strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic
sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infections,
reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other
scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of
the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce
typhoid fever, and cure advanced pyorrhoea in many cases.
22. Wheat grass juice acts as a detergent in the body and is used as a
body deodorant.
23. A small amount of Wheat grass juice in the human diet prevents tooth
decay.
24. Wheat grass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes will eliminate
toothaches and poisons from gums.
25. Gargle with Wheat grass juice for a sore throat.
26. Pyorrhoea of the mouth: lay pulp of Wheat grass soaked in juice on
diseased area in mouth or chew wheat grass. Spit out out pulp.
27. Drink Wheat grass juice for skin problems such as eczema or
psoriasis.
28. Wheat grass juice keeps the hair from greying.
29. By taking Wheat grass juice, one may feel a difference in strength,
endurance, health, and spirituality and experience a sense of
well-being.
30. Wheat grass juice improves the digestion.
31. It is great for blood disorders of all kinds. 32. Wheat grass juice
is high in enzymes.
33. Wheat grass juice is an excellent skin cleanser and can be absorbed
through the skin for nutrition. Pour green juice over your body in a tub
of warm water and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
34. Wheat grass implants (enemas) are great for healing and detoxifying
the colon walls. The implants also heal and cleanse the internal organs.
After an enema, wait 20 minutes, then implant 4-ounces of Wheat grass
juice. Retain or 20 minutes.
35. Wheat grass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels
open. It is high in magnesium.
36. Dr. Birscher a research scientist, called chlorophyll "concentrated
sun power." He said, “Chlorophyll increases the function of the heart,
affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs."
37. According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheat grass) as
a body cleanser, re-builder and neutralizer of toxins.
38. Wheat grass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed in the
lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is
minimized since chlorophyll increases haemoglobin production.
39. Wheat grass juice reduces high blood pressure as it enhances the
capillaries.
