- As you drink a
freshly squeezed
shot of wheatgrass, the liquid form allows for
maximum absorption of
all its nutrients. Its nutrients are so volatile that it must be
consumed within 20 minutes
directly after juicing.
- Wheatgrass energizes and reduces fatigue.

Because of all its
nutrients and the continual use, Ann Wigmore’s hair naturally turned
from grey back to its original
brown color. She
wrote many books and was a leading pioneer for the many uses
of wheatgrass.
The nutrients in 1ounce
of wheatgrass is equivalent to 2.5 pounds
of the best vegetables. Now, you can receive some good nutrients
through juicing vegetables but anyone who has juiced there own veggies
knows how annoying that can be. To receive a decent amount of
nutrients from vegetables you have to juice several different
kinds. On top of that you need to drink at least 6 to 8 ounces
which can be pretty tough to choke down.
Juicing wheatgrass is much easier and faster
than juicing your own
vegetables. It is also much more nutrient dense which means you
can get even better nutrition slamming a quick
shot of wheatgrass than
choking down a glass of vegetable juice.
Juicing your own wheatgrass is way cheaper than juicing a heap of
vegetables just to make 8 ounces. When you make it yourself it
will cost you from 2-8 cents to produce a shot. If you buy it in
the store you will pay $1.50 to $3.00 per shot.
Wheatgrass therapies have been used to cure just about every disease
you can think of, even cancer. There are literally thousands and
thousands of testimonies. It is truly nature’s finest medicine.
I know most of you are thinking, "Well if this stuff is so great how
come everyone is not in on it. Here again, it’s a money
thing. It is so cheap to produce this stuff that big hospitals
would not make a big enough profit giving it to their patients.
This is why they pump people full of all sorts of synthetic drugs.
As I mentioned before, growing your own wheatgrass comes out to about 2-8 cents per 1-ounce shot. You can’t beat that when it comes
to paying for medicine/nutrients. It is not popularly
advertised probably because the AMA (American Medical Association)
would step in and try and outlaw the claims. They’ve done it
before with other alternative healing treatments.
With synthetic drugs, companies can control a patent that allows them to
be the only seller of a certain drug. This way they make a lot of money!
You cannot put a patent on
a natural product. This is why much of the modern western
medical system is against natural methods of healing. Though
many of the prescription drugs are made from herbal plants, synthetic
counter parts are added to create a product that can be controlled with
a patent.
It is also great just to have wheatgrass sitting in your house.
Young-sprouting wheatgrass acts as a living
battery throwing off energy
and fresh oxygen into the
room. Put it in the window seal of your kitchen or other
rooms. Your pets will love it too. You might even catch
them nibbling or licking on it.
Have you ever
noticed your pet or anyone else's nibbling or licking on
blades of grass outside. They eat it to help ade digestion or when they
are sick. Good bacteria grows on
grasses, the same
type of good bacteria you need for proper intestinal flora. These
bacteria help with many things in the body especially the immune system
and digestion. And
some how, animals instinctively know to get this off of the
grass.
It is also great to keep a tray of wheatgrass beside the head of your
bed at night. The fresh oxygen from the young growing wheatgrass will
definitely give you a better nights sleep. Just as an experiment,
give this a try for 2 weeks tops. But I guarantee you will notice a
difference with in the first two days.
There is much more to learn about wheatgrass, I have only scraped the
surface about this powerful substance. For more info read: The
Wheatgrass book by Ann Wigmore or Wheatgrass – Natures Finest Medicine
by Steve Meyerwitz.
For superior health, Wheatgrass is a must. Even if you only use
it for a couple months out of the year. |
