40 BENEFITS to Wheatgrass
The Benefits of Wheatgrass Excerpts from The Wheatgrass Book by Ann Wigmore
WHEATGRASS JUICE...
Increases red blood-cell count and lowers blood pressure. It cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. Wheatgrass also stimulates metabolism and the body’s enzyme systems by enriching the blood. It also aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body.
Stimulates the thyroid gland, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints.
Restores alkalinity to the blood. The juice's abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over-acidity in the blood. It can be used to relieve many internal pains, and has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and other complaints of the gastrointestinal tract.
Is a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.
Fights tumors and neutralizes toxins. Recent studies show that wheatgrass juice has a powerful ability to fight tumors without the usual toxicity of drugs that also inhibit cell-destroying agents. The many active compounds found in grass juice cleanse the blood and neutralize and digest toxins in our cells.
Contains beneficial enzymes. 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 wheatgrass juice. 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.
Has remarkable similarity to our own blood. The second important nutritional aspect of chlorophyll is its remarkable similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood. Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, president of the Hagiwara Institute of Health in Japan, is a leading advocate for the use of grass as food and medicine. He reasons that since chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and fat particles are absorbed directly into 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.
When used as a rectal implant, reverses damage from inside the lower bowel. An implant is a small amount of juice held in the lower bowel for about 20 minutes. In the case of illness, wheatgrass implants stimulate a rapid cleansing of the lower bowel and draw out accumulations of debris.
Externally applied to the skin can help eliminate itching almost immediately.
Will soothe sunburned skin and act as a disinfectant. Rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it will help mend damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly, scalp conditions.
Is soothing and healing for cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete's foot, insect bites, boils, sores, open ulcers, tumors, and so on. Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.
Works as a sleep aide. Merely place a tray of living wheatgrass 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.
Enhances your bath. Add some to your bath water and settle in for a nice, long soak.
Sweetens the breath and firms up and tightens gums. Just gargle with the juice.
Neutralizes toxic substances like cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury, and polyvinyl chloride.
Offers the benefits of a liquid oxygen transfusion since the juice contains liquid oxygen. Oxygen is vital to many body processes: it stimulates digestion (the oxidation of food), promotes clearer thinking (the brain utilizes 25% of the body's oxygen supply), and protects the blood against anaerobic bacteria. Cancer cells cannot exist in the presence of oxygen.
Turns gray hair to its natural color again and greatly increases energy levels when consumed daily.
Is a beauty treatment that slows down the aging process when the juice is consumed. Wheatgrass will cleanse your blood and help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing the aging process way down, making you feel more alive right away. It will help tighten loose and sagging skin.
Lessens the effects of radiation. One enzyme found in wheatgrass, 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 and promotes youthfulness.
Can double your red blood cell count just by soaking in it. Renowned nutritionist Dr. Bernard Jensen found that no other blood builders are superior to green juices and wheatgrass. In his book Health Magic Through Chlorophyll 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 wheatgrass regularly.

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT WHEATGRASS JUICE?
1.
Wheatgrass juice is 70% chlorophyll.
2.
Chlorophyll is the first product of light and contains more light energy than any other element.
3.
Wheatgrass 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.
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.
6.
Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a healer.
7.
Renowned nutritionist Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and it uses up very little body energy.
8.
Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of harmful 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 with four to five days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals that were known to be extremely anemic or low in red cell count.
10.
Farmers in the American 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.)
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 helped people get well from chronic disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass.
14.
Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them, and rebuilds and rejuvenates them.
15.
Wheatgrass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Dr. Earp Thomas, an associate of the late Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of wheatgrass 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.
Wheatgrass 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 1940 American Journal of Surgery, Benjamin Cruskin, MD recommended 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 and poisons from gums.
25.
Gargle with wheatgrass juice for a sore throat.
26.
For pyorrhea of the mouth, lay pulp of wheatgrass soaked in juice on diseased area in mouth or chew wheatgrass. Spit outthe 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 the digestion.
31.
It 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. Rinse off with cool water.
34.
Wheatgrass 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 wheatgrass juice. Retain or 20 minutes.
35.
Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open. It is high in magnesium.
36.
Dr. Max Bircher, a research scientist, inventor of muesli, and founder of the famed Bircher-Benner Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, 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.... It is therefore a tonic which, considering its stimulating properties, cannot be compared with any other. "
37.
According to Dr. Bircher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, rebuilder, and neutralizer of toxins.
38.
Wheatgrass 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 hemoglobin production.
39.
Wheatgrass juice reduces high blood pressure as it enhances the capillaries.
40.
Wheatgrass juice can remove heavy metals from the body.

Now Back to Raw Eating and Juicing
Master Cleanse is over......Now its back to Eating Raw ,Smoothies and Juicing......Loving to Eat this way and High Raw is going to be my passion forever and ever from here on out.....Or Raw Vegan if need be at times.
I will be starting to add here in my blog the food or drinks I am putting into my body....Ok See Ya later~
Sorry I was not Blogging......
Sorry I haven't blogged .I have to get used to doing this daily if not every other day.I added this photo of our granddaughter and our son~ her daddy.As you can see this was around Christmas of 2008 since their tree is in a photo. We have two sons married but only one grandchild.My hubby and I got married young.We had kids almost right away,but its been years with both kids gone and the house is quiet and definitely different when the kids move out.
Now back to the raw lifestyle I am living.As of the 13th of March I ended My Master Cleanse and did one day of the Orange Juice......All was good. I am so in tune with what I eat.I played it safe with salad and fruits the weekend of March 14th and 15th.Monday March 16th will be Juicing and Green Smoothies all day.I had so many days on the Master Cleanse that drinking my meals will be just fine.I also made videos with my Master Cleanse as you can see on this blog and I actually enjoy sharing my day to day or should I say week to week journal in a video form.
I have the most understanding husband whom is so supportive of what I am doing. My husband is NOT RAW but enjoys smoothies,juicing and some Raw desserts.He is so helpful in what I make if I need a helping hand in the kitchen too.So until Monday and beyond I am loving RAW.

10 TIPS To Go Green!
1) Eat organic and buy fruits, vegetables, herbs, cheese, eggs, honey and other food products at farmer’s markets which support local farmers and growers. No farms…no food.
2) Use eco-friendly products and services. Purchase all-natural, organic household cleaners, recycled paper products, organic cotton, and non-GMO food products. Locate an organic dry cleaner. Hire an eco-friendly gardening or car service.
3) Recycle everything possible, including printer cartridges, paper products, newspaper, plastic, glass, aluminum cans, cell phones, computers, etc… and cut paper consumption by using e-mail.
4) Give back – support individuals and organizations who are doing extraordinary work for our planet. Over the years The Brosnan Trust has distributed more than one million dollars to environmental organizations, schools, activists, women’s healthcare and various animal and children’s charities.
5) Plant an organic garden or a victory garden– for yourself or a friend and promote green living.
6) Compost kitchen scraps– from banana peels to coffee grounds, and green waste. Purchase a rotating or stackable composter and start a green waste pile that can be used to fortify your garden naturally.
7) Promote environmental education. Calfornia currently funds environmental programs for kindergarten thru grade 12 (Roots and Shoots) in California and helped pass legislation which requires the state of California to design environmental curriculum for all its students.
8) Donate to off set your emissions (plant trees with Tree people; pay a carbon tax when traveling in environmentally sensitive areas, etc).
9) Design an eco friendly home that features energy efficient appliances, low flow and/or composting toilets, state of the art solar technology, recycled grey water, reclaimed hardwoods, and non-toxic paint and building materials.
10) Speak up — use your voice and speak out about important environmental issues (examples over the past 13 years: stopping BHP’s LNG Terminal off the coast of Oxnard and Malibu, Mitsubishi from building a massive salt factory in Lagoon San Ignacio, protesting the US Navy harming whales with sonar and the French Government’s nuclear testing program in the South Pacific, promoting Dolphin Safe Tuna and supporting the Heritage Tree Bill.)

Master Cleanse Day 2
This is my second Day of the Master Cleanse and its going good.I know the Chicken Soup Sike is just that .....I don't eat Chicken or Chicken soup.I am on a Raw Food Journey~The 10 Day Cleanse is my choice.
Monday, March 2, 2009
Master Cleanse Day 1 YES I plan on 10 days
I am loving being a part of the Raw Fu and Raw Food community in general.My plan was to do this Master Cleanse about 1 week ago.I was going to a potluck and also knew I was going to see the 2 chefs and get a fantastic meal out of the deal.And indeed we did.So as a result I waited until today March 2nd 2009 to start my 10 day CLEANSE~It was nice to know that Bunny Berry whom started Rawfu in South Carolina can get 4 girls together at a Raw function in Washington state and only 2 of the girls in my below photo knew each other.So I am blogging this journey as well as Vlog my journey too.I feel this will keep me in line and make all 10 days happen.Before going raw I did take a soy product for 13 days of the 14 I had intended,and I was doing that product called ALMASED and did that nasty tasting drink powder with my sister.Her and I both stopped at 13 days and I lost 1 lb per day.Let me make something perfectly clear~I am doing this for HEALTH reasons NOT to simply lose weight.I have not done a colonic nor intend to do one in this point in time,so I think this Master Cleanse is cheaper to do right now and I feel the time is right.My next raw Potluck is March 15th.This Cleanse will be over March 12th followed by 1 citrus orange juice day and perhaps a salad.....
