Dr. Ann Wigmore claims that the wheatgrass juice is a fail-proof remedy for rejuvenation of the body. She invites patients suffering from any disease and urges them, ‘to take this treatment for only 21 days. You will realize that new energy is overflowing in your body, nectar is being poured into your body’
All the health food stores and juice bars around Manhattan now carry fresh wheat grass and offer ‘sots’ of wheat grass juice.
It is the fresh green juice from young wheat. When we plant grains of wheat, we get wheatgrass. After seven days of growth, we can harvest a deep green leafy vegetable rich in chlorophyll and nutrients. Soak wheat grains for 12 hours before they are sown. Then, take them out of the water and tie them in a wet thick piece of cloth. Bind the cloth tightly. The wheat grains will start sprouting. Sow the sprouted wheat grains, and within 7 days you will get 5 to 7 inches of wheat grass. Sprinkle water on the pot every 24 hours. Do not pour water, as excess water will hinder the growth of the grass. Cut the grass with a pair of clean scissors and put the grass in a juice extractor. 100 grams of wheat grass can give you about 5 to 6 ounces of juice. This juice should always be consumed fresh. This juice cannot be preserved for later consumption. Do not consume anything 30 minutes before or after drinking the juice. Wheat grass juice is more effective after a fast, especially when you begin a treatment using this juice. Patients should start with 25ml of juice, and then slowly increase to 100 ml every day. For chronic diseases, you can consume up to 300 ml of this juice.
It increases your stamina, builds healthy blood, cleanse your whole system, aids digestion, reduces cravings for addictive substances, improves fertility, inhibits the growth of disease-causing bacteria and cancer-causing chemicals.
Why does it have these benefits?
The juice is rich in chlorophyll and full of nutrients. Chlorophyll is often called the blood of plants because it is remarkably similar in molecular structure to our own blood. After much research, it was established that it regenerates human blood. Chlorophyll also has cancer-fighting abilities. Wheatgrass juice has all the nutrients necessary to sustain life. Its vitamins, minerals and proteins all occur in their simplest forms and thus requires minimum digestive activity, and are harmoniously balanced by nature in exactly the right proportion along with enzymes for maximum assimilation. It has Vitamin C, Vitamin A, B, E and K. It has calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. It contains all eight essential amino acids. It has simple glucose too.
Life begets life. Wheatgrass gives you a new life. Try some. Let us know.
