Wheat Grass
Information
WHEAT GRASS JUICE (The green revolution)
Wheat grass juice has many characteristics desirable for health. It is known
for its healing properties; it is used as a cleansing and purifying agent and
yet can be considered a bodybuilder because of its nutritional content.
Wheat grass is one of the highest chlorophyll foods in the world, being one
of a select group of plant including alfalfa. Chlorophyll is the amazing
photosynthesis element found in green plant life that converts sunlight into
a food source for the plant, Chlorophyll is often referred to as “the blood of
plant life” for it closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells in
structure.
Fresh chlorophyll from wheat grass is easy to assimilate and is non-toxic to
the body. Wheat Grass juice appears to act as a detoxifying agent purifying
the blood, the liver, and improves blood sugar levels, it works as an
excellent bowel cleanser and can be used as a part of the regime of a
cleansing fast.
Wheat grass detoxifying effect can sometimes be uncomfortable to the
bowels so care should be taken with regard to the quantities ingested,
based on the level of detoxification desired, the goal is to drink enough
wheat grass juice to make your self somewhat uncomfortable without truly
feeing sick .
Wheat grass juice also makes an excellent bodybuilding tonic, it is about
50% protein, is a rich source of vitamins A, C and D, it is also high in
mineral, lecithin and living enzymes.
CHLOROPHYLL
Chlorophyll is exceptionally high in iron, iron attracts oxygen, iron and oxygen work
together in burning up waste, there is nothing better than chlorophyll to help prevent
serious diseases by removing toxins, waste and poison.
It greatly helps in the
elimination of mucus, acid and mucoid fecal matter as well as putrefaction and bad
odors. Chlorophyll destroys germs and harmful bacteria. It is a natural and powerful
antiseptic especially for the intestinal tract. It is the best internal deodorant and
blood builder there is. It is a super concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and
enzymes that help purify the liver and improve blood sugar problems.
Chlorophyll is found in all green leafy vegetables such as alfalfa, watercress, parsley,
kale, collards, comfrey leaves, plantain (herb), dandelion, spinach, barley grass, sunflower
greens, and buckwheat lettuce. Other sources are: blue green algae, wheat grass juice,
and liquid chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the blood of the plants with a molecular structure almost identical to the
hemoglobin molecule of human blood, the difference between the two is that hemoglobin
carries an atom of iron while the chlorophyll molecule carries an atom of magnesium.
Extensive laboratory investigations have shown that cell activity and its normal growth
are increased by the administration of chlorophyll. Scientist and soil expert Dr. G. H
Earl Thomas, has isolated over one hundred element including all the known minerals
from wheat grass, he concludes that wheat grass is a complete food, and that 15
pounds of wheat grass is nutritionally equivalent to 350 pounds of the choicest
green vegetables.
Scientist has also found that a diet rich in chlorophyll can help offset the damaging
effects of environmental radiation and x-rays. Wheat grass juice helps to increase the
enzyme level in cells, aiding in rejuvenation of the body and the metabolism of nutrients.
The high enzymatic content crystallizes acids, and solidifies decaying fecal
matter.
The regular use of chlorophyll rich juices is the fastest, safest, and surest way to
eliminate internal waste and provide an optimum nutritional environment within the
body.
Nutritionist Bernard Jensen lauds the viruses of chlorophyll because of the magnetic
and electrical quality of the raw enzymes it contains, it takes hours of energy to digest
solid food, he maintains, but only minutes and very little energy for the body to
assimilate chlorophyll.
THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF WHEAT GRASS AND GREENS
A Summary
Wheat grass juice is a highly nutritious food; it is high in vitamins A and
E, as well as the B vitamins. It contains many minerals and trace elements
needed by the body.
It contains calcium, Phosphorus, Sodium,
Potassium, Magnesium, Iron and Zinc, it also contains twelve amino
acids, including the seven essential amino acids. It is important to
know that enzymes such as Amylase, Protease and lipase were not detected
in this laboratory analysis.
Wheat grass juice is rich in chlorophyll, the molecular structure of the
chlorophyll in wheat grass juice is very similar to that of hemoglobin in
blood, the difference between hemoglobin and chlorophyll is that the central
atom in hemoglobin contains Iron, whereas, the central atom of the
chlorophyll contains Magnesium.
It is the Chlorophyll in wheat grass juice which helps the blood carry
healing Oxygen to all the cells. Wheat grass juice also aids detoxification
by breaking up impacted matter in the colon; it is a valuable tool in the
body’s natural self- healing process because it helps fight infection.
Sunflower and buckwheat greens, collectively referred to as “the greens”,
are valuable sources of enzymes and amino acids. They are high in vitamin
D, as well as chlorophyll and lecithin. They are low in fat and contain no
starch, so the body does not have to spend much energy to digest them.
Therefore, they are also an efficient energy source.
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT WHEAT GRASS JUICE?
1. Wheat grass juice is 70% chlorophyll
2. Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more light energy
that any other element.
3. Wheat grass juice is pure 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. Wheat grass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The
brain and all body tissue functions at an optimal level in a highly oxygenated
environment.
6. Chlorophyll is antibacterial and can be used inside and outside the body.
7. Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheat grass juices
and uses up very little body energy.
8. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and developments of
unfriendly bacteria.
9. Chlorophyll (wheat grass) 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 within 4 to 5 days of the administration of the chlorophyll,
even in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or low in red cell
count.
12. Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls had them on wheat
grass to restore fertility. (the high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds
enzymes that restore the sex hormones)
13. Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheat grass 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 soil.
14. Wheat grass has what is called the grass juice factor, which has been shown to
keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely.
15. Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic disorders for 30
years using wheat grass.
16. Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissue, refines them, and makes them over.
17. Wheat grass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and
other fruits and vegetables. Dr Earp Thomas, associate of Ann Wigmore, says
that 15 pounds of wheat grass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrots, lettuce,
celery and so forth.
18. Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
19. Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins in the body.
20. Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.
21. Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.
22. Wheat grass juices cures and even removes scars after it has been ingested for
seven to eight months.
23. The American Journal of Surgery (1940), Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends
chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggest the following clinical
uses for chlorophyll: to clear up foul smelling odors, neutralize strep infection,
heals wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic
inner ear inflammation and infections, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers.
It eliminates impetigo (a contagious bacterial skin infection, found in children)
and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of
the uterine cervix, get rid of parasites, vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever,
and cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases.

36. Wheat grass juice (enemas) are great for healing and detoxifying the colon walls,
the implant also heal and cleanse the internal organs, after an enema, wait 20
minutes, then add 4 ounces of wheat grass juice retain for 20 minutes.
37. Wheat grass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open, it is high
in magnesium.
38.
Dr. Bisher, research scientist, calls chlorophyll “concentrated sun power”,
he said “chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular
system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs”.
39. According to Dr. Bisher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheat grass) as a body
cleanser, re-builder and neutralizer of toxins.
40. Wheat grass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed in the lungs from
breathing in acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is minimized since
chlorophyll increases hemoglobin production.
41. Wheat grass juice reduces high blood pressure and enhances the capillaries.
42. Wheat grass juice can remove heavy metals from the body.
Recommended Daily Allowance
At Rockwall Colonics & Wellness, we recommend two ounces of juice twice a
day while participating in our dietary cleansing program. Wheatgrass juice
is an excellent catalyst for initiating the detoxification process. This means
that ingested wheatgrass juice is able to stimulate the body into
symptomatic detoxification, depending on the individual’s current state of
health or toxicity. If queasiness occurs, reducing the dosage of wheatgrass
juice for a short time is recommended. It’s practically a green laxative, if you start
on taking too much, you will find yourself running to the bathroom
Always drink any kind of grass juice on an empty stomach and then wait
30 to 45 minutes before drinking or eating anything else.
For normal health maintenance, ingest 1to 2 ounces of fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice
daily.
Each individual can consume different amounts of juice depending on their
bodies’ individual need and/or tolerance. Some “first timers” may find it
easier to start out with a lesser amount, between one half to one ounce per
serving, slowly building up to a greater amount. Others may take up to two
to three (or more) ounces twice a day with no difficulty. It is important to
take one’s body size into consideration. A small person may find it difficult
to consume an equal amount of juice as a much larger person is able to
consume. It is very important to listen to what your own body tells you as
you are establishing your personal juicing habits.
The most important thing to remember is that fresh wheatgrass juice is one
of nature’s gifts, and a very powerful tool for building a strong, healthy
body! Even super foods like blue green algae can’t match the “chi” of fresh
squeezed wheatgrass juices because algae is a powder and can never be
juiced, the secret to drinking wheat grass juice happily is to gradually
increase the amount as you become acclimated to it.
Raise your dosage one ounce every few days or every week.
Drink only what is comfortable, but if you are fighting an illness, no matter
what, you will have to take it rectally.
Coconut
Information
The coconut is relatively low in protein compared to other nuts and seeds. It is highly
nourishing and strengthening; the coconut has high oil content, which is easily digestible. Is
more easily utilized by the body than all other fats, this oil closely resembles butter in
physical and chemical properties. The protein content of coconut is of high quality, it
contains all the amino acids, rich in potassium, sodium, magnesium and sulfur, the energy
value of the dried coconut is very high, having 662 calories per 100 grams.
The coconut contains up to 60 percent fat, and this fat is 92 percent saturated. But this is no
reason, to avoid coconut products. The principle fatty acid in coconut milk is lauric acid. It
is a medium chain of 12 carbon saturated fatty acid that has potent antiviral, antifungal and
antimicrobial properties.
Coconut oil: is our best source of lauric acid and is now being used to treat both AIDS and
candidiasis because of its antipathogenic effects in the gut. When absorbed, the medium
chain fatty acids in coconut oil gives quick energy; coconut oil is highly resistant to
rancidity.
Coconut strengthens the immune system, perhaps this is the reason that Thailand, where
coconut holds a prominent place in the national cuisine, has the lowest cancer rate of the
fifty countries surveyed by the National Cancer Institute, the hydrogenated oil industry has
given mis-information to the public regarding coconut oil, in fact, coconut oil is a naturally
saturated vegetable product, un-hydrogenated coconut oil contains 50% Lauric Acid (known
as the good fat). Coconut oil is mostly made up of medium chain fatty acids (M.C.T.), which
is metabolized by the body and converted into energy not fat! As well, coconut oil does not
elevate your LDL cholesterol levels (known as the bad cholesterol)
Coconut oil is a good substitute for hydrogenated oils.
Coconut Water: The water of the tender green coconut, generally known as mineral water,
is used as a beverage and a refreshing drink, a tender coconut, which is fully grown and only
one month old, contains about 400 to 465 C.C. of water, it contains sufficient sugar in an
easily assailable form, it is an excellent tonic for health, the water of a single coconut
contains sufficient vitamin C to meet the daily requirements of the body, it also contains
several vitamins in the B group, these are niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, riboflavin, folic
acid and thiamin as well as pyrodixin in traces, the water also contains sodium, potassium,
calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, sulfur an chlorine.
Creamed coconut: Found in the refrigerated section of Asian and Indian markets and in
some health food stores, creamed coconut is made of finely ground fresh coconut meat with
all of its valuable oil. The hard white blocks melt when added to broth, soups, sauces and
curries. This is a wonderful product that imparts a rich texture and true coconut taste to both
main dishes and desserts.
AIDS patients and others with compromised immune system function should consume 20 to
25 grams of lauric acid per day. Approximately 12 grams of lauric acid are contained in 2
tablespoons coconut oil or 3 tablespoons creamed coconut; 10 grams of lauric acid are
contained in ½ cup canned whole coconut milk or ½ cup desiccated coconut meat.
