Juice It Up- Wheatgrass
Juice It Up- Wheatgrass
Source
Wheatgrass is one of the so-called “green foods” that are valued by health-conscious individuals as
a great natural source of nutrients. Wheatgrass, available in fresh juice form or from tablets, is high
in chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium & potassium.
It is wheatgrass’ chlorophyll that is perhaps its most valuable asset. Chlorophyll, the plant’s green
pigment that is often referred to as the “blood of plant,” has been shown in studies to have a
cleansing, detoxifying & healing effect on the body.
Wheatgrass is grown from wheat berries & is harvested after just seven days of growth. Due to its
fibrous nature, which is digestible by humans, wheatgrass must be liquefied through the use of a
juicer before it can be consumed. The wheatgrass juice can then be drank (either straight or in
mixture with another juice) or converted into tablets. When drinking wheatgrass, it is recommended
to consume the
drink in small amounts not to exceed four ounces per day. Over-consumption of wheatgrass juice
can cause nausea or stomach upset due to the strong cleansing effects of the juice.
Use of wheatgrass is said to help cleanse the blood, organs & gastrointestinal tract, and is also
recommended as a way to stimulate metabolism & normalizes the thyroid gland, which may be
helpful in correcting obesity & indigestion.
As a nutritional supplement, wheatgrass contains a variety of Vitamins, minerals, amino acids &
enzymes. It has an abundance of alkaline minerals, which is said to help reduce over-acidity in the
blood.
Wheatgrass juice contains almost the same amount of Vitamin C as citrus fruits & actually more than
such vegetables as tomatoes or potatoes. It is as high in Vitamin A as dark green lettuce or carrots,
& is additionally a good source of the B vitamins. Wheatgrass contains Vitamin E.
The mineral content of wheatgrass includes calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium & a
variety of trace minerals such as selenium & zinc. Dried wheatgrass juice is said to have as much
calcium as milk. Wheatgrass juice contains about half as much iron as spinach, as much potassium
as citrus fruits & as much magnesium as broccoli.
Some 17 amino acids can be found in wheatgrass, including essential amino acids (those that the
body can synthesize from food protein) as lysine, leucine, tryptophane, phenylalanine, threonine,
valine & isoleucine. Some of the other amino acids found in wheatgrass are arginine, glutamic acid,
histidine, serine & tyrosine.
One of the primary benefits for wheatgrass is its chlorophyll content. Research in Japan has shown
that chlorophyll provides some protection from carcinogens. This protection is said to come from
chlorophylls ability to strengthen cells, detoxify the liver & bloodstream and chemically neutralize
pollutants.
While much of the medical research on wheatgrass has been conducted in Japan, US scientists
have also hailed this green food for its many benefits. For example, it has been praised by Dr.
Arthur Robinson, the director of the Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine. Dr. Robinson, who
performed a research project on wheatgrass in 1978 at the Linus Pauling Institute, found that
wheatgrass & other “live foods” decreased the incidence & severityof cancer lesions in mice by
about 75 percent.
In 1978, Dr. Chiu-Nan Lai of the University of Texas reported in Nutritional and Cancer that
wheatgrass juice had an anti-mutagenic effect, & also that it showed an anti-neoplastic ability. In
another study, performed at the Arthur Testing laboratory by Dr. Thelma Arthur, the consumption of
wheatgrass juice was shown to detoxify the blood & strengthen the immune system.
Wheatgrass has also been shown to have a beneficial external effect as well. Wheatgrass and/or
chlorophyll ointment has been used to successfully treat such disorders as skin ulcers, impetigo &
itching.
Today, wheatgrass juice is in vogue juice bars and health spas, & is becoming a popular
supplement to the daily diet. Wheatgrass proponents claim that this green food can bring
improvements in health, provide more energy and even aid in weight loss.
1. Wheatgrass juice is 70% chlorophyll
2. Chlorophyll is the first product of light therefore; it contains more light energy than any other
element.
3. Wheatgrass juice is crude chlorophyll & can be taken orally and as a colon implant without toxic
side effects.
4. Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.
5. Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The brain & all body
tissues function at an optimal level in
a highly oxygenated environment.
6. Chlorophyll is an anti-bacterial and can be used inside & outside the body as a healer.
7. Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and uses up very
little body energy.
8. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth & development of unfriendly bacteria.
9. Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) 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 within 4 to 5
days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely
anemic or low in red cell count.
10. Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows & bulls put them on wheatgrass 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 wheatgrass 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. Wheatgrass 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
wheatgrass.
14. Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over.
15. Wheatgrass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits &
vegetables. Dr. Earp-Thomas, associate of Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of wheatgrass is the
equivalent of 350 pounds of carrots, lettuce, celery and so forth.
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. Wheatgrass juice cures acne & 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 Gruskin, M.D., recommends chlorophyll
for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll: to clear up
foul-smelling odors, 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 pyorrhea in many cases.
22. Wheatgrass juice acts as a detergent in the body and is used as a body deodorant.
23. A small amount of wheatgrass juice in the human diet prevents tooth decay.
24. Wheatgrass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes will eliminate toothaches. It pulls poisons from
the gums.
25. Gargle with wheatgrass juice for a sore throat.
26. Pyorrhea of the mouth: lay pulp of the wheatgrass soaked in juice on diseases area in mouth or
chew wheatgrass, spitting out pulp.
27. Drink wheatgrass juice for skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
28. Wheatgrass juice keeps the hair from graying.
29. By taking wheatgrass juice, one may feel a difference in strength, endurance, health and
spirituality and experience a sense of well being.
30. Wheatgrass juice improves digestion.
31. Wheatgrass juice is great for blood disorders of all kinds.
32. Wheatgrass juice is high in enzymes.
33. Wheatgrass 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,
then implant 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice. Retain for 20 minutes.
34. Wheatgrass implants (enemas) are great for healing & detoxifying the colon walls. The implants
also heal and cleanse the internal organs. After an enema, wait 20 minutes, them implant 4 ounces
of wheatgrass juice. Retain for 20 minutes.
35. Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping 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 (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, rebuilder
and neutralizer of toxins.
38. Wheatgrass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed on the lungs from breathing gasses.
The effect of carbon monoxide is minimized since chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production.
39. Wheatgrass juice reduces high blood pressure and enhances the capillaries.
40. Wheatgrass juice can remove heavy metals from the body.
