Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 hi lyle funny u shud ask that, its sumthing i started taking recently and personally it has a gud effect on me, although i know others who are nausous when taking it. it has a really high potassium content as well, like 375mg per Tbs, which is gud wen ur doing the sodium bicarbonate protocol to balance out the sodium. i started the sodium bicarbonate treatment 3 days ago and its going well, with fasting this ramadan it seems my body is able to detox quickly and efficiently. sory i havent replied to ur previous email i deleted it by accident joe Lyle <lylebrown@...> wrote: I have one more question about the powerful immune builder called " Wheatgrass " .

Has anyone ever tried this as a supplement or even as a cure? It is said to contain the highest content of chlorophyl in the world. I would like to know what we've got on this. ==>The best is liquid chlorophyll derived from alfalfa. Here's some information on it: " Alfalfa has been used by the Chinese since the sixth century to treat kidney stones, and to relieve fluid retention and swelling. It is a perennial herb that grows throughout the world in a variety of climates. Alfalfa grows to about 3 feet and has blue- violet flowers that bloom from July to September. First discovered by the Arabs, they dubbed this valuable plant the " father of all foods " . They fed alfalfa to their horses claiming it made the animals swift and strong. The leaves of the alfalfa plant are rich in minerals and nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and carotene (useful against both heart disease and cancer). Leaf tablets are also rich in protein, vitamins E and K. Alfalfa extract is used by food makers as a source of chlorophyll and carotene. The leaves of this remarkable legume contain eight essential amino acids. Alfalfa is a good laxative and a natural diuretic. It is useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections, and kidney, bladder and prostrate disorders. Alkalizes and detoxifies the body, especially the liver. Promotes pituitary gland function and contains an anti-fungus agent. Part Used: Whole herb and leaf. Common use: This versatile herb is also a folk remedy for arthritis, diabetes, asthma, hay fever, and is reputed to be an excellent appetite stimulant and overall tonic. Excellent source of nutritive properties with minerals, chlorophyll and vitamins. Alfalfa is high in chlorophyll and nutrients. " Some candida sufferers don't do well on Wheatgrass while others have reported good success with it. If you decide to try it proceed cautiously. I recommend Nature's Way Chlorofresh from alfalfa instead. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 In terms of buying fresh, raw wheatgrass, I stay away from it because you have no idea where it was grown, how it was harvested, if there was any cross contamination, etc. So, I play it safe and buy a powder like Amazing Grass that has wheatgrass along with other very nutrient dense super foods like algae, etc... cheers Bonnie > > Wheatgrass- it doesn't have the wheat berry (which is where the gluten is) but I'm suspicious.

Theoretically if you knew that the grass was about 10 days old or less there should be no gliadin protein present. But theoretical and practical being two different things, unless you were growing it yourself it's probably not worth the risk. I recommend to my patients to avoid all grasses from glutinous grains unless they are growing them themselves. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 My feeling is that there are many ways to stay healthy and to eat well, so why take the risk of using anything related to wheat?
