Wheat
Grass, Barley Grass and other Greens: Wonder Healer Foods for People and
Pets
Wheatgrass juice is the nectar of rejuvenation, the plasma of youth,
the blood of all life. The elements that are missing in your body's cells
- especially enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and nucleic acids can be obtained
through this daily green sunlight transfusion. Wheatgrass juice has been
proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the
lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing
toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring
vitality. more
Most
people who have explored the wondrously wide avenues of self-healing have
heard about wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years
to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building
the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the
cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. One ounce
of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds
of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed
for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many of the benefits
of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living food, which
is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude
chlorophyll. To be effective wheatgrass juice has to be drunk immediately
after juicing.
Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available.
Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more
light energy than any other element. (more on Chlorophyll)
Wheatgrass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken orally and as
a colon implant without toxic side effects.
Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.
Wheatgrass 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.
Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body
as a healer.
Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass
juice and uses up very little body energy.
Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development
of unfriendly bacteria.
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.
Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass
to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll
builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones.)
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.
Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown
to keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely.
Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic disorders
for 30 years using wheatgrass.
Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over.
Wheatgrass 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 Wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds
of carrot, lettuce, celery, and so forth.
Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins in the body.
Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.
Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.
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 infection,
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.
George S. Bailey, Ph.D. - "Chlorophyll,
the natural plant pigment that lends its color to grass, leaves, and many
of the vegetables we eat, may play an important role in prevention of certain
cancers. Researchers in the early 1980s discovered that chlorophylls and
related chemicals can inhibit the ability of certain DNA-damaging chemicals
to cause mutations in bacteria. How might this kind of "anti-mutagenic"
activity be important in cancer prevention? Molecular geneticists now know
that most if not all human cancers carry mutations in one or more genes
that control the rates at which individual cells divide, differentiate,
or die. According to current thinking, various combinations of mutations
that upset this delicate balance to favor uncontrolled cell growth can
then enable this irreversibly damaged cell to form a primary cancer in
the lung, liver, blood, bone, skin, or another body organ. Therefore, it
seems at least theoretically possible that the anti-mutagenic power of
the chlorophylls might allow them to inhibit or reduce the formation of
cancers in humans. Recent progress in our laboratory and elsewhere has
brought this promise closer to realization."

One key question about wheatgrass is how long to wait after cutting
it before you consume it? Most people, taking their cue from Ann Wigmore,
say to take it immediately after cutting and juicing. However, the hormone
abscisic acid (ABA) is 40 times more potent 4 hours after cutting the wheatgrass
than it is at the time of cutting. So the question boils down to this:
How important is ABA to treating cancer compared to the other anticancer
substances in wheatgrass? Wheatgrass
Treatment For Cancer
This is a complete guide to using grass foods and juices to help your
health. Includes everything you need to know about wheatgrass and its miracle
cures: how to grow it, juice it, and take it, in order to create a total
health restoration program. Also contains information about detoxification,
nutrition, research, benefits, and healing retreats. Includes real life
testimonies about the effectiveness of wheatgrass. Wheatgrass has broad
effectiveness, but its three most therapeutic roles are: blood purification,
liver detoxification, and colon cleansing. As a food it is very nourishing
and restorative with such a complete range nutrients that it can, by itself,
sustain life. Wheatgrass earned its reputation from people with terminal
illnesses who took it at the eleventh hour of their lives, after conventional
medicine left them with no hope. But you can take it as part of a long
range prevention and health maintenance program.
"I see people go through this therapy everyday and I can tell you, miracles
happen." -Brian Clement, Director Hippocrates Health Institute, West

Wheatgrass and radiation Tests have been made which point to a chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rich
diet affecting the survival of experimental animals after lethal doses
of radiation. In 1950, Lourau and Lartigue reported that cabbage supplement
(chlorophyll) increases the resistance of guinea pigs to radiation.
Protection
Against Radiation Fallout (Radioiodine) A person exposed to "fallout"
can suffer from a myriad list of ailments, among them thyroid cancer. Thyroid
cancer, due to radiation poisoning, is caused by the uptake (through inhalation
or ingestion) of radioiodine (a radioactive isotope of iodine). If a nuclear
emergency should occur, be it from a reactor or attack, the preferred way
to block the uptake of radioiodine is by making certain that the gland
is already saturated with iodine. Learn how to protect your thyroid with
KI supplement.
How much? Start with one ounce a day with a small amount of water. As you become
accustomed, stop the water and work up to 6 ounces of wheatgrass juice
a day. Your energy level will be very high. Wheatgrass juice should be
mixed thoroughly with your saliva before swallowing. Drink slowly one hour
before meals. Wheatgrass juice is a powerful cleanser and may cause nausea,
through starting an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach.
Toxicity studies have shown that chlorophyll is absolutely
non-toxic when administered orally or intravenously to animals and humans.
The juice should be extracted either by chewing or utilising a slow action
machine. Some manual juice extractors are very good for the purpose. Grasses
can be grown year round in any apartment or house, city or country.
1. I soak about 3-4
cups of hard winter wheatgrass seeds (preferably organically grown)
for 3 to 8 hours in water. I add a couple of drops of organic vinegar
to acidify the water which keeps fungus or mold from forming. Sprouters
believe that all the nutrient is in the seed. For the first 4-5 days young
plants can grow in anything because they are getting their nutrients from
the seed. They can grow in anything, even shredded paper. After 4-5 days
the plants have developed roots which begin seeking the soil for nutrients
to continue to grow into healthy plants. Wheatgrass grown in soil without
needed minerals,
grow 2-5 days without the needed additional nutrients. I add one tablespoon
of Sole per gallon of water, (or one teaspoon
of fulvic
minerals or marine phytoplankton,
rich with over 70 naturally occuring organic trace minerals and elements.
(Organic fulvic acids are created by micro-organisms in the soil, for the
purpose of transporting minerals and nutrients from the soil into a plant.
Wheatgrass grown with fulvic acid burst with health and nutrients which
benefit us. (more information on the amazing
health benefits from fulvic minerals) 2. I drain the water
and place the seeds in a colander. I rinse the seeds 2 to 3 times a day
with the orignial water that the seeds soaked in. This prevents the seeds
from drying out and from forming mold. (See
pictures: Sprouting - How To Do It NOTE:
I do NOT wrap the seeds in the colander with plastic. I leave it
exposed to air) More info:
3. I Line up a nursery
growing tray with a sheet of paper and spread 1/4 to 1/2 inch of potting
soil.
4. As soon as the
seeds begin to sprout in the colander, they are ready to be moved to the
growing tray. I spread the seeds in the growing tray over a 1/2 inch
of potting soil. There is no need for fertilizer. I donot
cover the seeds with soil. I place the tray on a plastic sheet in front
of a window.
5. I place a second
empty tray on top of the seed tray upside down (like a roof) and I cover
the top tray with a wet towel. This will protect the seeds and sprouts
from drying out. I make sure that the towel is kept wet or moist all the
time. 6. As soon as the
grass is tall enough to hit the roof of the top tray, I remove that top
tray and towel.
7. During the first
2 or 3 days, the tray needs watering everyday, but not too much or the
roots will rot.
My
German Shepheard dog, Kuuma, gets hit by this "bloat",
or stomach spams once a month or so. It usually hits him soon after
he eats kibbles (never when he eats raw food). He becomes extremely restless,
and tries to nibble on just about anything. It is obvious that he's in
great pain. The ONLY thing that I have found that helps him, is to let
him eat plenty of grass. He'll be grazing for 20 min or longer non-stop.
If no grass is available, I let hime him wheatgrass which I grow in trays
by the windowsill (I drink wheatgrass juice everyday). I believe that he
would actually die if no grass was available for him to eat. Wheatgrass
Health Food for Birds
Wheatgrass can grow year-round but it doesn't grow well in
the hot summer. It grows best in cooler wheather. During summer, I keep
my wheatgrass trays in the shade with good ventilation to prevent overheating
and to prevent mold or fungus.

If you are unable to grow and juice your own wheatgrass, the next
best thing to fresh is:
Caldera
Greens, a premium source of sorganically
grown,alkaline-forming, enzymatically-alive,
super foods which help promote proper pH balance and proper immune function. The barley, alfalfa, wheat, and oats are grown on a caldera.
This is a convex volcanic crater much like Yellowstone Park. The
volcanic soil on this caldera is extremely rich in minerals. Within five
hours of harvest, all of these crops are juiced and then the juice concentrate
is dropped through the 100 foot tall dryers of our supplier's amazing proprietary
drying process. Within 30 seconds in the dryer, 95% of the water
is removed and the juice becomes a powder. All of this is accomplished
at an average temperature of only 88º Fahrenheit. This is the
most non-invasive, low temperature processing in the industry. I
know of no other supplier that has a drying process at temperatures this
low. Again, all of this happens within 5 hours of harvest. This food
is alive! All the enzymes and soil based organisms are intact.

Scientists theorize that mineral deficiency subjects us to more diseases,
aging, sickness and destruction of our physical well-being than any other
factor in personal health. marine phytoplankton
and fulvic acids consist of an immense arsenal
and array of naturally occuring powerful phytochemicals, biochemicals,
supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases,
nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals,
etc. Marine phytoplankton and Fulvic Acids greatly enhance the bioavailability
of important trace minerals. Regenerate and prolong the residence time
of essential nutrients in the cells. Modify the damage or toxic compounds
such as heavy metals and free radicals. Enhance the permeability for digestive,
circulatory, and cell membranes. Increase the activity of a multitude of
enzymes. Fulvic Acid can also be known as nature's electrolyte. It charges
and restores the potential that is or once was normal to the cell, and
in doing so, balances and super charges cellular life. (do
not confuse "fulvic acid" with "folic acid" which is
a common B vitamin)
Cilantro
Healing Power Dr. Omura treated several patients for an eye infection called trachoma
(granular conjunctivitis), which is caused by the micro-organism Chlamydia
trachomatis. Following the standard treatment, Dr. Omura found that the
patients' symptoms would initially clear up, only to recur within a few
months. He experienced similar difficulties in treating viral-related problems
like herpes simplex types I and II and cytomegalovirus infections. After
taking a closer look, Dr. Omura found these organisms seemed to hide and
flourish in areas of the body where there were concentrations of heavy
metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum. Somehow the organisms were
able to use the toxic metals to protect themselves from the medicine. While
he was testing for these toxic metals, Dr. Omura discovered that the leaves
of the coriander plant (cilantro) could accelerate the excretion of mercury,
lead, and aluminum from the body. more

For three billion years Marine Phytoplankton has supported virtually
all living creatures in the Ocean. It contains a unique combination of
life sustaining nutrients including; Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA
and DHA), protein, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Marine Phytoplankton makes up one quarter of all vegetation (land and sea)
and according to NASA provides up to 90% of the Oxygen in the air we breathe.
All the Scientific research indicates that Marine Phytoplankton may be
the most important food on Planet Earth.
Dr.
Jerry Tennant, MD, from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine,
explains that the micronutrients and electrolytes in marine
phytoplankton (microscopic plants/organism that live in the ocean)
are exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism.
Not surprisingly, the composition of human plasma, or fluid surrounding
cell membranes, is similar to that of sea water. Relying solely on land-based
food sources may lead to deficiencies in these micronutrients and electrolytes.
While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet
lacking in these micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure,
and detoxification functions of the human cell. Good nutrition will enhance
the structure and function of all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles,
hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision,
digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically,
our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy,
minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental
function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress,
and mood swings.
Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide
all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the
existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the same time
for things to work. One of those rare products that contains almost everything
you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is
marine
phytoplankton. It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot
make...The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).

life) is marine phytoplankton. It contains
the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in
our diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present

all present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost everything one
needs to sustain life. Therefore, it contains almost everything one
needs to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells
that function normally. This is particularly true if one stops putting
toxic materials such as artificial sweeteners and trans fats (partially
hydrogenated fats) into our body."
The solid content of juice made from wheatgrass is 70 percent chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is often referred to as "the blood of plant life" and has almost
the same chemical structure as haemoglobin (oxygen transport molecules
in red cells in human blood), according to studies done in 1911. The difference
between the two is that in human blood the metallic element of the haemoglobin
is iron, while in chlorophyll this atom is magnesium. Chlorophyll goes
into the red blood cells immediately. The red cell count was returned to
normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll in animals
which were known to be extremely anaemic.
Chlorophyll
was praised in the 1940 American Journal of Surgery by Benjamin Gruskin,
M.D. for its antiseptic benefits. The article recommends the following
clinical uses for Chlorophyll - to clear up foul-smelling odours, neutralise
infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis,
overcome chronic inner ear inflammation and infection, 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.
Nutritionist Bernard Jensen lauds the virtues of Chloryphyll because
of the magnetic and electrical quality of the raw enzymes it contains.
According to Dr. Earp-Thomas, 15 pounds of fresh wheatgrass is equivalent
in nutritional value to 350 pounds of the choicest vegetables.
Dr.Birscher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll "concentrated
sun power." He says chlorophyll increases function of the heart, affects
the vascular system, the uterus, the intestine and the lungs. According
to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll as a body cleanser, rebuilder
and neutralizer of toxins. Wheat grass juice can dissolve scars that are
formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effects of carbon monoxide
is minimized since chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production. Wheat grass
juice helps to reduce high blood pressure as the juice helps to reduce
toxins from the body and gives the blood iron which helps circulation.
It purifies the blood.
A small amount of wheatgrass in the human diet helps prevent tooth decay.
Tooth decay is the result of other degenerative changes in the body. Gargle
with wheatgrass juice for toothaches. Gargle with wheatgrass juice for
a sore throat.
Taking wheatgrass juice we wi!l feel the difference in our sense of
strength, health, spirituality, endurance and wellbeing. Research scientist

Healing With Barley Grass
Dr. Howard Lutz. - "Barley grass is one of the most incredible
products of this decade. It improves the skin texture and the dryness associated
with aging."
Dr. Howard Lutz, director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine
in Washington, D.C., has said this about barley grass: "(Barley grass
is) one of the most incredible products of this decade. It improves
stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to things
that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of the skin, and
heals the dryness associated with aging. Some people who try grass juice
find that they just cannot tolerate wheatgrass juice. It is extremely
detoxifying and makes some people nauseous every time they drink it.
These people may find that they can tolerate barley grass juice.
It is milder, although quite bitter, compared to the sweetness of wheatgrass
juice."
The Benefits of Barley Grass Barley grass is one of the green grasses. The young barley leaves
have a tremendous ability to absorb nutrients from the soil. When barley
leaves are 12-14 inches high, they contain all the vitamins, minerals,
and proteins necessary for the human diet, plus chlorophyll. Barley contains
a multitude of vitamins and minerals. Its juice is seven times richer in
Vitamin C than an equivalent weight of oranges, five times richer in iron
than spinach, ten times richer in calcium than milk, is a significant source
of Vitamin B-12, and contains 15 times as much protein as an equivalent
amount of milk.
A research pharmacologist from Japan, Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, M.D
believes
that the key to the nutritive value of this supplement is not just the
nutrient content of the concentrated extract, but its biochemical form
which promotes more effective assimilation. What really sets this powdered
barley juice apart from other food supplements, he says, are the thousands
of live enzymes. The anti-aging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one
of these. SOD aids in digestion and metabolism by helping to disperse vitamins
and minerals into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body. Dr. Richard
Cutler, a biophysicist at the National Institute of Aging has shown that
the life span of many mammalian species, including man were found to be
directly proportional to the amount or SOD contained in the cells. The
animals with the longest life spans and man were found to have the highest
levels of SOD. SOD acts as a cellular anti-oxidant, protecting against
radiation and chemical free-radicals from pollution, as well as acting
as an anti-inflammatory agent and preventing cellular damage following
heart attacks.
Dr. Hagiwara and Biologist Dr. Jasuo Hotta, a specialist of gene engineering
at the University of California at La,Jolla, found that when powdered barley
juice was added to damaged cells, the DNA within the cells repaired itself
twice as quickly as DNA in cells receiving none. Current theories are that
both cancer and aging result when genes fail to repair themselves. Moreover,
when the barley juice supplement was added to cells before they were subjected
to radiation and a carcinogen, Hotta says the repair rate was easily three
times as fast as normal." Thus, Dr.Hagiwara claims, the findings may eventually
help to prevent cancer, aging, or both. Experiments showing the ability
of powdered barley juice to repair damaged cells, neutralize the effects
of carcinogens and radiation, and retard the aging process have all been
done on laboratory cell cultures and animals. While many people report
improvement in a wide variety of physical problems, no controlled tests
have been done on humans. The improvements noticed are the effects o[ detoxifying
the body and providing the proper nutritional elements in a form readily
absorbed by the body.
"Many people when they hear about the living foods program of recapturing
health and regenerating the body instinctively know that it is true. I
had had chronic fatigue for many years and had tried almost every herb,
vitamin, and healing modality available in health food stores. Later, I
attended the Ann Wigmore
Institute in Boston and then began growing wheatgrass commercially for
juice bars and health food stores. At first, I didn’t radically alter my
diet – the main thing I did was faithfully drink the wheatgrass juice every
day. I noticed a great increase in energy, enough to allow me to operate
my business, which involved working ten to twelve hours per day." more
Recently research has unveiled a wealth of other possible benefits of
green barley leaves. Extracted compounds have found to have hypercholesteromic,
anti-inflammatory, and anti-ulcer properties. A new antioxidant, 2"-0-GIV,
has been isolated and reported to have antioxidant activity equal to or
superior to vitamin E. Finally, studies have shown that when green barley
juice is added to injured cells, the cells' DNA repairs itself rapidly.
This may contribute to preventing the changes that often lead to cancer,
rapid aging, and cell death.

Healing with Alfalfa
Daniel B Mowry, Ph.D. - “Alfalfa contains an enormous quantity
of nutrients, in a form that is easily digested and assimilated by man.
It is up to 50% protein, contains a good quantity of beta-carotene, chlorophyll
and octacosanol. Herbalists have used alfalfa for many different
purposes. Most of these applications bear one-to-one correspondence
to the various nutrients in the plant. The one word that keeps appearing
is “tonic”. The plant is a kidney tonic, prostatic tonic, reproductive
tonic, musculoskeletal tonic, glandular tonic and so forth. Alfalfa
has traditionally been one of the best herbal treatments of arthritis,
gout and rheumatism. Alfalfa has a proven cholesterol lowering effect.
Steroidal anti-inflammatory action is suggested by its content of plant
steroids, and by some research that found an estrogenic effect on ruminants
(grazing animals). Alfalfa has also been shown to possess antibacterial
action against gram negative bacteria (such as Salmonella typhi), and it
contains at least one protein with known antitumor activity.”
Dr. Donna Schwontkowski- "Alfalfa has been used for centuries
by people world-wide for overall support and rejuvenation. Because
of its deep root system, alfalfa is a rich source of the minerals calcium,
magnesium, phosphorous, iron, potassium and trace minerals. Specifically,
it is one of the best sources of protein and is very high in chlorophyll,
carotene, the Vitamins A, D, E, B-6 and K, and several digestive enzymes.
This may be why it is said to help reconstitute bone and when fresh, is
beneficial for rickets. Alfalfa is one of the most studied plants.
Research suggests that it may inactivate dietary chemical carcinogens in
the liver and small intestine before they have a chance to do the body
any harm. It is commonly used for bladder infections. Used
on the skin or in the bath, Alfalfa is good for fatigue and muscle tenderness.
It is also used to reduce pain and inflammation of rheumatism and arthritis.
Alfalfa is used as an appetite stimulant, vitality augmenter (tonic), a
digestive stimulant, for insomnia, and to relax the nervous system."

Steven Schecter, N.D - "There is no family of foods more
protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables
... sea vegetables can prevent assimilation of different radionuclitides,
heavy metals such as cadmium, and other environmental toxins."
Many kinds of seaweed are eaten by people because they are full of vitamins
and iodine. Asian cultures use seaweed like green beans and carrots are
used in the United States. One of seaweed's most prominent health benefits
is its ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from
our bodies. Whole brown seaweeds (not granulated) such as kelp contain
alginic acid which binds with the toxins in the intestines rendering them
indigestible and carries them out of the system.

Healing Crisis: As with
all true natural cure, the road to better health may begin with a healing
crisis. As you move toward better health with natural healing programs
and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process
the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your
body over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without
repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins
to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild
internal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like
symptoms and fatigue. This is called a healing crisis. You may feel worse
before you feel better. As you continue to improve, you may begin a process
called retracing. For example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes
may reappear or get worse for a period of time as your body eliminates
toxins through the skin. You may also experience an initial increase in
urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting
worse, you are actually getting better. Eventually you will reach a plateau
of better health. During the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress
these temporary symptoms with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted.

Greens, Phytonutrients and Phytochemicals
What are phytochemicals? In the Greek language, the word 'phyto' means
plant. Phytochemicals are, by definition, any biologically active compound
derived from plants. They function as the plant's immune system, defending
against exposure to diseases and viruses; determine plant color and taste;
and aid the many biological tasks plant organisms must carry out to survive.
Thousands of phytochemicals are found in plants, and humans have only recently
begun to study the molecular structure of these valuable food compounds.
Examples of phytochemicals are carotenoids, flavonoids, plant sterols,
polyphenols, lignans, sulfides, curcumins, saponins, coumarins, terpenoids,
phthalides, and many more. On-going research continues to provide new insights
into what they are and how they aid in the preservation of human health.
According to Dr. Bruce West, Phytonutrients are the "raw material" nature
provides for your body to cure itself. Derived from living things, primarily
plants (phyto is Greek for plant), phytonutrients are a combination of
naturally occurring phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, trace elements,
and enzymes. Also known as Super Green Foods or Green Super Foods.
PhytoNutrients provide the synergistic combination of all of natures raw
materials for healing the body - not just isolated and artificially created
products.
Why do we need 'greens'? Greens are our most important foods because
they provide us with all of the essential components of health. They are
our foods, as well as our medicines. Where green plants cannot grow, we
cannot live.

Making the Transition to a Diet Which Contains
Not Only Enzymes but the Essential Fatty Acids
"Many people when they hear about the living foods program of recapturing
health and regenerating the body instinctively know that it is true. When
I first heard about Ann Wigmore and wheatgrass juice, I became enthusiastic
about it, bought an electric wheatgrass juicer and began first purchasing
and then growing my own wheatgrass. I had had chronic fatigue for many
years and had tried almost every herb, vitamin, and healing modality available
in health food stores. Later, I attended the Ann Wigmore Institute in Boston
and then began growing wheatgrass commercially for juice bars and health
food stores. At first, I didn’t radically alter my diet – the main thing
I did was faithfully drink the wheatgrass juice every day. I noticed a
great increase in energy, enough to allow me to operate umy business, which
involved working ten to twelve hours per day. During the years of being
in business, I noticed the reactions of people when they started on wheatgrass
juice. Some who started wheatgrass juice daily, didn’t change their diets
and found the juice so detoxifying that they were unable to continue taking
it for very long. The reaction they got was an aversion to the juice—enough
to make them nauseous. (The solution to this is to 1) change the diet,
and /or 2) cut back on the amount taken each day or 3) drink barleygrass
juice instead. 4)Also there is a possibility that mold on the grass causes
the nausea. This can be alleviated by cutting the grass and power rinsing
before juicing." Probiotics/Enzymes
with Green Grasses for a Healthy Digestive Track
While it may be alarming to see Fido or Fluffy nibbling on the front
lawn or a houseplant, it shouldn’t be a cause for concern unless the grass
or plant was recently treated with pesticide, fertilizer, or another poisonous
chemical. Both dogs and cats from time to time may take an interest in
grass or similar substances, each for different purposes that can actually
benefit their bodies.
Dogs tend to self-medicate their bodies and regulate behavior through
occasional ingestion of plants, as the diets they often receive in captivity
are vastly different than what they would eat in the wild. Dogs are not
simply carnivorous, and can be often seen hunting for roots and fruits.
Since dogs evolved from wolves, in the wild, wolves and dogs may eat an
herbivore prey that they have killed, and often first go for the stomach
area of the carcass where they will find roots, leaves and berries.
In domestication, a dog’s diet often consists of commercial dog food,
which contains synthetic preservatives, coloring and fillers. Constant
intake of such substances often leads to dog aggression, when the dog’s
discomfort exceeds tolerance levels. Over time, this grain-based, high-carbohydrate
diet can lead to digestive upset and even diabetes. Again considering the
evolutionary perspective, wild dogs consume only minimal quantity of grains,
in the shape of already-digested paste and juices in the intestines of
a seed-eating prey.
However, even though grass ingestion appears to have some redeeming
qualities for an dog, it can sometimes lead to vomiting. Some veterinary
experts suspect that ingestion could have been a catalyst for self-induced
vomiting to relieve stomach upset. Whether or not it was intentional, it
may have detoxifying properties for this very purpose.
Cats often ingest plants and grass for this very same reason—mainly
to assist common bodily functions. Cats are avid groomers and seem to spend
hours preening and licking themselves. Unfortunately, this usually means
that they end up swallowing a lot of lose fur, which accumulates in their
stomach to form matted lumps called furballs.
While furballs are usually vomited or emitted in feces as part of the
body’s natural elimination process, a weak digestive system, modern diet,
sedentary lifestyles, or inadequate nutrition can interfere with this process.
To help stimulate this elimination, cats may use grass as a laxative or
to self-induce furballs, as it acts a roughage to promote bowel movement
or regurgitation. This not only helps promote overall health as bodily
functioning is restored, but also relieves the discomfort associated with
the blockage. It may also be possible that the dog or cat just likes the
taste! However, it is important to discourage ingestion of grass or plants
directly after a meal, as unintentional regurgitation of dinner may result.

Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We Can Learn From Them The things animals do to
stay healthy are mind-boggling. Birds do it, bees do it, and animals of
every stripe seem to know how to forage for plants and minerals that will
promote health. The author is a leading researcher in zoopharmascognosy,
or animal self-medication. Cindy Engel explains that human beings are too
much like animals in captivity in the way we have limited our own healthcare
strategies. Like Native Americans, she advocates, we should observe animal
behaviour as the first step to achieving sustainable healthcare. Everyone
should read this book! It's truly revolutionary and fascinating. It will
change the way you think about animals and yourself. The things animals
do to stay healthy are mind-boggling, and Dr. Engel is always careful to
say what is scientifically proven and what isn't. I've always been suspicious
of Alternative veterinary medicine, but it opened my eyes.There are incredible
lessons here for human health as well as animal health, and the book isn't
heavy lifting at all.
Wheatgrass for Your Pet's Health
"Staff members of the Institute who lived with cats reported their animals
had less illness once they provided wheat grass regularly. They noted that
fur was more beautiful, and life spans longer. Formerly arthritic older
cats who could barely get in and out of the litter box, were jumping on
top of high surfaces. Immune systems in all the cats grew strong and common
sicknesses much more easily resisted. Sores and strange lumps would disappear.
Chronic conditions such as upper respiratory problems would clear away
for good. Keen observers commented that cat's personalities and behavior
changed. The cats became calmer, and more "jungle cat-like" in their gait
and mannerisms. Making sprouts and growing wheat grass for your own cats
is quick and easy! Living foods will beautifully compliment a cat's raw
meat diet creating the perfect meal. Many different seeds and nuts may
be sprouted and added to your cat's food."
Testimonial
from Mayan Camera in NY (23
Dec 2004)
"My 13 yr male cat is now walking around, does not have his mouth infected
and swollen face, and is carrying on with his appetite... Wheatgrass changed
his energy level in 20 minutes, he began eating, the swelling and infection
went away in 2 days, his respiratory and sinus dis-ease (due to chemical
medicine he was prescribed and I stupidly gave him when I don't even use
them for myself)was gone in those 2 days and my love is now back to normal.I
'm also taking wheatgrass and feel great. With my cat I have to put it
in a dropper cause he just does not like the taste but what the heck a
grab by the neck everyday stimulates his senses and circulation soooo its
ok.. Thanks again for your website."
If you are unable to grow and juice your own wheatgrass,
the next best thing to fresh is:
Caldera
Greens The barley, alfalfa, wheat, and oats are grown on a caldera.
This is a convex volcanic crater much like Yellowstone Park. The
volcanic soil on this caldera is extremely rich in minerals. Within five
hours of harvest, all of these crops are juiced and then the juice concentrate
is dropped through the 100 foot tall dryers of our supplier's amazing proprietary
drying process. Within 30 seconds in the dryer, 95% of the water
is removed and the juice becomes a powder. All of this is accomplished
at an average temperature of only 88º Fahrenheit. This is the
most non-invasive, low temperature processing in the industry. I
know of no other supplier that has a drying process at temperatures this
low. Again, all of this happens within 5 hours of harvest. This food

Fighting fibroid breast tumors and paralysis in a cat
with vegetable juice
"I am pleased to say we are successfully fighting fibroid breast tumors
and paralysis of the hindquarters brought on by colon cancer, and while
I did have to use a few homeopathic medicines at first to reverse the kidney
damage, the bulk of the credit goes to the juices."
"One month ago, this cat's hindquarters became paralyzed, and she was
forced to ambulate by dragging herself by her forelegs only; bowel movements
became virtually nonexistent. After one week of steady juicing, elimination
functions have resumed and her rear legs are moving again! If you have

Jensen's book, Foods that Heal. It efficiently presents in layman's
terms how to heal using food and juice combinations based on the chemical
elements contained therein. Of course, in pets, you just have to give very
small portions (literally, 1/2-teaspoon amounts) to see results. And because
the right combination of juices will taste good to them, animals willingly
take the juice mixed into their foods -- resulting in less stress on both
owner and pet. So now my cats get vegetable-only juice and the dogs get
the pulp -- so there's no waste -- all are getting healthy, and I'm saving
$$$ on vet bills."

Overcoming Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
with raw (living) food and chlorophyll from wheatgrass juice
by Pam Killeen
Does just getting out of bed in the morning seem to be a major effort?
How about doing a simple job of vacuuming the living room floor?
How about serious things like having to keep a job which required concentration,
focus, intellect and creativity—operations which in my mind were simply
not functioning. I didn’t know it then, but I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
This multitude of symptoms which I was experiencing included the inability
to use my cognitive processes. The sheer and utter exhaustion I felt
every day made me think I was dying or wishing I was. I was really
overwhelmed with severe problems such as memory loss, confusion, brain
fog, digestive difficulties, PMS, and even insomnia. I would have
thought being that exhausted, that sleep would come easy, but it didn’t.
To better describe this illness: It would be like having the flu or being
hung over day after day, month after month. Words cannot describe
the feeling I had of no energy to feel, think, give, socialize, share,
create, or exercise. Gradually over time, I lost my job, my friends,
money, and possessions. Needless to say, this greatly increased my
stress level.
In my desperation to get better, I turned to the medical profession
only to have most doctors I went to uninformed about my illness.
One doctor even said that I would be sick for the rest of my life and I
may as well learn to live with it.
I began searching for answers elsewhere. I sought out alternative
therapies, including chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, reflexology,
and nutritional changes.
Ultimately I accepted the responsibility of getting myself well.
I decided that I absolutely was not going to accept the idea that I might
feel this way the rest of my life. I rejected the attitude that I
was a patient because the term patient implied passivity and submissiveness
and would leave me without a sense of power to change.
I became proactive and actually forced myself to get out of bed and
go outside every day, I initiated an exercise program including tennis
and golf. During this time, I was still in an absolute fog, but I
pretended to enjoy myself.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was my enemy and the battle was just beginning.
No one but myself really accepted the fact that I was extremely ill. This
made life even more difficult. However, eventually, people began to come
into my life who understood my problem. I even encountered some understanding
doctors who gave me a lot of support in that they know I was not crazy,
depressed, or lazy (as are many people so accused who have chronic fatigue
syndrome.) They sensed my desperation to get better. I became an active
participant in recovering from the syndrome in that I made changes in my
diet-eliminating all processed and white foods (sugar, dairy products,
flour, salt, eggs) and red meat. I began to realize that this was
not enough so I became a total vegetarian making a complete about face
of my traditional North American eating habits which included animal protein,
processed foods and overeating. I discovered that even these significant
changes were not enough to completely heal my body. I remained a
vegetarian but began to explore other alternative diets.
Thankfully, I discovered the living foods diet (Hippocrates Lifestyle
or Ann Wigmore Diet.) Hippocrates, Father of medicine, said Let thy food
be thy medicine and the medicine be thy food.
I integrated raw (living) food and chlorophyll into my diet. The
chlorophyll I use comes from wheatgrass. I grow the grass indoors
either in soil or hydroponically and then extract the juicer in a special
juicer. I also grow sunflower and buckwheat greens.
I learned how to incorporate these highly nutritious foods into my diet
when I attended a course at the Ann Wigmore Foundation in Boston.
Ann taught that vegetables should be eaten raw in the form of blended soup,
or fermented in a recipe she calls veggie-kraut. Prepared this way,
vegetables become easier to digest. She emphasized a diet of dark
greens (buckwheat, sunflower, wheatgrass juice), sprouts (alfalfa, lentil,
pea, etc.) And high calorie, high enzyme fruits such as bananas and
avocados. Other fruits she used are apples and watermelon. She included
dehydrated foods and believed that food combining is important but not
to let such a ‘science’ control our lives. Ann believed that the
body becomes sick from eating foods that are dead (processed, microwaved,
cooked, irradiated). Dead foods are devoid of enzymes and oxygen,
the catalysts we need for proper digestion and proper assimilation and
elimination. If we don’t eliminate properly at the cell level, we
can become very toxic and subject to any disease. We can reverse this toxic
nutrient deficient and diseased body by eating food in its natural state.
Ann said that we must reform our attitudes toward dead foods, that they
can be highly addictive and that most of the time we eat these foods because
we are emotionally attached to them.
This whole lifestyle is easy and I haven’t felt that it has controlled
my life. Ideally, I feel comfortable eating about 80% raw foods and
20% cooked. I feel that food which still has its life force intact,
transfers that life force to my body and increases my energy. When
I make inappropriate food choices, I feel tired and listless reminding
me that my body is still very sensitive and requires further healing. click

Another thing I wondered about why did this happen to me? It was
essential that I found this answer because it became interesting to me
to explore this. Was it just physical, or was it emotional, spiritual,
and/or intellectual? Therefore I became aware that in order to heal,
I had to not only repair my physical body, but also the other three parts
as well.
Looking back on my healing process, I realize even though it was quite
painful, it was necessary for me to experience and in many ways I’m much
stronger for having to deal with this struggle. I view chronic fatigue
syndrome as a health challenge rather than a chronic illness or an impossible
hurdle to overcome. I alone was responsible for regaining my health.
Nobody was going to hand it to me in a pill or on a silver platter.
To those of you currently experiencing CFS, I would like to say: Don’t
own the disease and let it get the best of you. The best of you has
yet to surface and this disease has happened to you to wake you up to this
fact. Never take your health for granted and try not to feel victimized
by CFS, as you will only continue to let it control you. You must
take control of your health by realizing that the body will only have the
capacity to heal if you make the right choices. You must honor yourself
and do what is right for you.
I cannot finish this article without expressing my gratitude to those
who stood by me through thick and thin while I was sick. Their belief
in me helped me more than they may ever be able to realize. I am
truly blessed to have met these people at a time in my life when I needed
as much support as possible.
I am now able to work part-time and enjoy a fuller life today than even
a year ago. My focus is on feeling better. I am still experiencing
vulnerabilities in my cognitive functioning and some other CFS related
symptoms. However, I know the more I surround myself with healthy
decisions, the easier my complete recovery will be. Health is now
one of my main priorities since I know that without it, I stand to lose
everything.

you will "just have to learn to live with it." Actually, Chronic fatigue,
fibromyalgia and environmental illness can be permanently reversed using
nontoxic alternative medicine treatments.
One of the most controversial modern diagnoses, chronic fatigue syndrome
can lead to a continual cycle of muscle and joint pain, headaches, low-grade

A personal account of my journey into healing with and raw (living)
food, homeopathy, wheatgrass, and other natural means
I was once a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the
medical establishment (which I think of as the "disease" establishment
because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness) who
wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe
that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get
"well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. Below is my account about
how I achieved optimum health without drugs, surgery or radiation. "First
do no harm..."
Fasting is the world's most
ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous
cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue
in the body.
Internal Cleansing The first step in anyones health program is to clean
and open up all the elimination organs Weak and congested liver, gallbladder,
bowels or kidneys can be the cause of many chronic health problems by causing
toxic and putrid waste to be absorbed into the rest of our system. Over
the course of time, this effects the functioning of every cell and organ
in our body. It poisons the blood, lymphatic system, nervous system and
brain, while clogging up the heart, vascular system, lungs and sinuses."
Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this retention
and reabsorption of these toxic wastes.
The best of all medicines are rest and fasting.
---Benjamin Franklin

- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier."
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water,
by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also
stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was
exposed in the past. Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological
chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy
and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline
living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals
as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for
the treatment of degenerative diseases.

the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from

that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led
to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients,
she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she
was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which

Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all
directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the
cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins
build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative
diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic
Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home
there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells
actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago
and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing
amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we
eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular
communication and disease. more

common table salt) are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion
years ago before single cells appeared here. Lack of them is synonymous
with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and
death at a young age. more about real salt
Our
Earth, Our Cure - The Native Americans call it "Ee-Wah-Kee" meaning
"The-Mud-That-Heals". The Amargosians (predecessors to the Aztecs
), the Aborigines, and natives of Mexico and South America all recognized
the benefit of clays. " "...healing mud not only draws toxic material out
of the body if taken internally, but also reduces pain and infection in
open wounds on both humans and animals."

Shilajit
Clay is renowned to have
many uses in promoting health in plants, animals and humans. Bentonite,
Pascalite, as well as other types of healing clays, have been used by indigenous
cultures since before recorded history. According to Knishinsky, benefits
reported by people using liquid clay for a period of two to four weeks
include: improved intestinal regularity; relief from chronic constipation,
diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer
complexion; brighter, whiter eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift;
improved tissue and gum repair; and increased resistance to infections.
Clay works on the entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched
by its healing energies.
"Bee
Pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete
food, containing all of the 22 elements that the human body requires to
function, provides you with 135 essential nutrients, a vast array of vitamins,
minerals, amino acids and more. Human consumption of bee pollen is praised
in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts.
It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners-including
the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras-for
its healing properties. Bee pollen rejuvenates the body, stimulates organs
and glands, enhances vitality, and brings about a longer life span. Bee
pollen's ability to consistently and noticeably increase energy levels
makes it a favorite substance among many world class athletes and those
interested in sustaining and enhancing quality performance." Steve Schecter

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging
diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally
associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Dr. Allan Somersall M.D

reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help

caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and

the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease"

them. more

The
acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s
health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we
may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches
and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively
acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction.
This condition, known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a
symptom of almost any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity
levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions,
including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease.
