Auckland, New Zealand, hospital offers guests and staff wheatgrass shots and smoothies. They call it "Boost Juice:" http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU0506/S00447.htm.

When Dr. Sattilaro was president of Methodist Hospital in Phila. he was cured of prostrate cancer by following a strict macrobiotic diet. He then sent the hospital chefs to Boston to learn macrobiotic cooking and set up a macro kitchen in the hospital for people who wanted to adhere to the diet. He stayed on the diet for 10 years and was fine, and then went off of it and died shortly afterwards. (his cancer returned). I wonder if they still offer macrobiotic food in the hospital.

I skimmed the article and didn't see mention of Dr. , but maybe missed it. Macro diet, which I too did, is about mainly cooked. Lots of people cook and therefore people can still be hooked into eating lots of raw, including at hospitals.

This article I thought advocated shots of wheatgrass.

No, Dr. wasn't mentioned. I had just been macrobiotic when he had turned to the diet and remember him saying that he was going to put a macrobiotic kitchen facility in the hospital for people who wanted to eat that way. That would have been a "first" in a major US hospital. I wondered if it still existed. It's funny...every time he went off the diet, his cancer returned and when he went back on it, it went away. But, skeptic that he was, he still wasn't absolutely sure it was the diet. After 10 yrs. of faithfully sticking to the diet and being cancer free he decided to test it again. He went off of it, his cancer returned and he died. But it was a major success story for the macro proponents.

Great idea to serve wheatgrass in hospitals. These people need good food and supplements more than anyone and unfortunately rarely get it!!
