Wheatgrass

[Guest guest]

I have tried making the juice, but it's a pain -

even with a nice machine. I just eat the dried

grass powder. And I don't restrict myself to wheat

only. I've eaten many different dried grass

powders that I harvest and dry and grind myself.

It's easy. I am currently eating Orchard Grass. I

like it the best. But I have also eaten Kentucky

Bluegrass, Brome Grass, Foxtail, Barley, and a few

exotics I can't remember the names. There are very

few toxic grasses. And dried grass stores very

well. (Yes, I eat like a cow!)

Yes I juice wheatgrass and barleygrass I grow in my automatic

sprouter. I juice them with a HealthyJuicer manual juicer.

Oops. Didn't finish my post.

My experience with those two grasses is that the taste is too strong

for me to get it down straight so I have to dilute the appox 1 oz of

grass juice with about 8 ozs of carrot/apple/beet/lemon/almost

anything else juices.

Wheatgrass juiced with carrot and fresh peppermint is delicious. : -)

I use a green power twin gear juicer.

I live in Florida also. You will find the wheatgrass growd beautifully in the

winter, but the summer heat is just too harsh to get a good crop. There is an

expert in Orlando. His name is Drelich and i think his websight is

drelichwheatgrass and he could probably give you some good pointers. He also has

a variety of wheatgrass juicers on his site. I like your view of recycling. But

as far as thanking the plants, I would, instead, thank Jehovah God for providing

all that we need to live on this planet.

As a question though being new here and getting ready to order some seed (today

going to grow it in vermiculite I think and cut it for juicing. Why do you only

do this two or three crops? If continuing to grow will it produce it's own seed

that birds can eat or we reuse? Or is the potency diminished after the cuttings

so the seed won't be as viable? I am so interested in input on wheat grass info

as I don't want to have a negative experience when growing it here in Florida.

I would like to add my comments on communing with your plants. I personally

feel that both Thanking God and talking to your plants is beneficial. But my

thoughts would lean more toward playing music for them, and creating the right

atmosphere for them that is conducive to healthy growth. There have been

scientific studies done that prove what kind of effect music has on plants of

all kinds. So soothing music, and not rock music would be beneficial. The

study showed that rock music actually caused the plants to grow spindly,

deformed, and dwarfed, and the plants actually leaned away from the music, where

soothing, quiet, classical music had an invigorating effect on the plants. They

grew taller and stronger and actually leaned toward the music. As far as

talking to them, as you are working around them, just talk out loud, sing, and

have a pleasant attitude. We carry an aura around with us, and it is felt by

all living things. So having a right attitude is important too. It will have a

pleasant effect on your plants, and will be very beneficial to you too. Will,

anyway, just my two cents worth.

The Secret Life of Plants

Authors: Tompkins and Bird Do your thoughts affect your

house plants? Can plants transmute one element into another?

reviewed by Theresa Welsh

This unusual book is one of my favorites. The ideas in it are so challenging

that it took me a long time to get through it. I had to stop frequently to

reread and think about the ideas. It basically asks questions about the meaning

of animate life. What is “alive” and how does it differ from “not alive?” It

delves into the controversial idea that plants can “feel,” but that is just the

beginning of what you learn about plants in this book. Can your kindly thoughts

directed at a plant make it grow faster? There is a large body of evidence that

says yes to this.

This book covers unorthodox ways of increasing the yield from seeds, including

strange ways to irradiate fields (with radio waves, sound, etc.) and how to find

natural resources by dowsing, an ancient practice known to the Chinese, Hindus,

Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and others. Dowsing involved pointing a stick or

“divining rod” at the earth and waiting for it to indicate (by pointing

downward) where some desired substance (water, oil, etc.) can be found. That is

amazing enough, but some dowsers have dispensed with going outside and instead

point their rod at a map. Astonishing as it may seem, here is one account from

the book concerning Henry Gross, an American dowser: “Sitting at his kitchen

table, he pinpointed on a map of the British-governed island of Bermuda, on

which no source of water had been found, just those spots where he said drilling

would produce it. To everyone’s amazement, Gross was correct.”

Is there an unknown energy field that pervades everything (the ether or the

orgone)? How does life get started and how is it connected to the spirit? What

is the connection between plants and man? Can plants transmute one element into

another? A man named Kervran who you will meet in this book says they can.

You’ll learn about radionics which holds that all matter, animate or inanimate,

radiates and absorbs energy. This energy can transfer positive or negative

thoughts and feelings to an object. This is how someone’s negative -- or

positive -- thoughts can lodge in an object and affect the energy level of

whoever has the object.

You learn of the work of people like Jagada Chandra Bose and Luther Burbank who

investigated the mystery of life through studying plants. In many ways, plants

behave much like animals. They are alive in much the same way, but they are

rooted to one spot and have no power of speech to communicate with humans. But

there are people who have made connections with them, even traveled mystically

through the stems and cells of plants, becoming one with them. Isn’t all life

unified? Why shouldn’t we be able to communicate with plants?

You will learn a new respect for soil and never, ever think of it as “dirt”

again. Soil is the stuff of life that nourishes plants and you learn that it can

be self-renewing. Modern farming ruins the soil with chemicals rather than

encouraging natural enrichment. The book contains much detail about the

composition of healthy soil and how to keep it healthy. The food chain is an

interesting aspect of physical life and why and how it exists is an open

question for the seeker. If you are a vegetarian out of compassion for animals,

how do you deal with the information that plants too have feelings? Why is our

world set up so that some live at the expense of others?

Consider the following quote from Luther Burbank (who Paramahansa Yogananda, a

close friend, considered a “saint” -- this was from a speech in which Burbank

promised to “tell all” about how he could be so successful at creating new

species of plants): “In pursuing the study of any of the universal and

everlasting laws of nature, whether relating to the life, growth, structure and

movement of a giant planet, the tiniest plant or the psychological movements of

the human brain, some conditions are necessary before we can become one of

nature’s interpreters or the creator of any valuable work for the world.

Preconceived notions, dogmas, and all personal prejudice and bias must be laid

aside. Listen patiently, quietly and reverently to the lessons, one by one,

which Mother Nature has to teach, shedding light on that which before was a

mystery, so that all who will may see or know. She conveys her truths only to

those who are passive and receptive.”

Can matter be created out of nothing? Do matter and energy interchange naturally

in ways we don’t understand? What is radiation and how does it affect plant

life? Why and how does dowsing work? This book deals with these matters and

raises many questions, along with suggesting provocative answers. Much of the

information here might be termed pseudo-science but the people whose ideas are

presented here were not crackpots or crazies. This book is not new -- my copy

has 1972 on it -- and the ideas are still controversial. But I think it is well

worth reading. Investigations into the ery meaning of “alive” are surely

relevant to the Big Question of who we really are.

It is worth a try! Let us download MIDI files of Classical music (a good free

source is www.kunstderfuge.com), borrow a long cable with speakers, and left

Winamp playing it 24 hours a day near ours sprouts.

Regarding the aura of living beings, I think that cultivating the sprouts

outdoors in a greenhouse but below trees have a good effect on it, since trees

also has its own auras around them. I do this way.

So as wheat grains is a God gift for us, it is wheat grass juice!

I found that after the first crop, the plants looses a bit of it will to live;

it continues to grow, but at a lower rate than before being cut.

It is not possible to let it grow until fruitifies, because of lack of space.

Where would be one or two adult plants, there is tens or hundreds of sprouts!

Soon they will concur for water oxigen and soil and maybe no one will survive.

Thanks to Patrice for its suggestion of burying them! I'll try and discover the

dirt after some days to see how it went.

That sounds like a lot of trouble. what effect will electricity have?

magnetically? and other components like copper wires? I would think this could

be too harsh. Perhaps if you played a flute or maybe just sing to your plants.

I must tell you, I always sing when I am out planting and sometimes its just

something I make up as I go along and I put the name of my cat or my dog in the

song. And when they hear their name they move in closer and want to be petted.

People always remark that these animals follow me around like I am pied piper. I

feel like Snow White all the time. These animals have 7 acres to roam but no

matter ...but they never leave my side. where I am there is 2 cats and a dog

that will be right beside or behind me. All the time. I cant go anywhere. They

are attached. They all LOVE the songs. So, if all plants responded the way my

animals do, and if plants can actually move in the ground (see ginseng studies;

walking plants) then I would imagine these plants moving closer to the front

door every day.

Hello people,,, greetings from Southern Africa (PS: are there any SA

sprouters or raw foodists here??? e-mail me to jeaneyr@...)

Regarding wheatgrass, I would strongly reccommend a good friend of mine, a

wheatgrass expert and massive organic wheatgrass grower, Nicholson. His

tel; +27 (0) 21 510 3911. He supplies organic wheatgrass to all the health

stores around here.

Has anyone tried growing 92-mineral wheatgrass, the Don Jansen way?????? I'm

about to try this, with tomatoes too.

Basically growing with sea water and salts. see www.oceangrown.com .

Or buy this Fascinating DVD on wheatgrass: " How to grow 92-mineral produce

anywhere, wheatgrass too! " from www.rawfood.com. It's really worth it!

Any replies to jeaneyr@... pleeeeeeeeeeze!

==>There are have been members of this group who reported good results

from having wheatgrass juice. But as with anything else, don't overdo

it. Some people can't handle the concentrated green juices and should

take it easy on them. The best energy and benefits are from the diet,

especially eating enough good fats in ratio to your meats.

+++Hi Matt. No, please do not have wheatgrass - it is high in chlorophyll which

is diuretic (makes the body get rid of water) and also washes out minerals.

Hemp seeds aren't included, and I don't believe hemp should be used for anything

but making clothes, mats, etc.

Hi Kate:

My wife takes this. We get the freeze dried from the health food store. Barb

took this through out her chemo and it kept her white count and platelets

normal. It also alkalizes the body and the chlorophyll is a good detox.

We have been using this brand.
