Wheat Grass, Anyone?

Does anyone take wheat grass as a cancer preventative? If yes, how do you find it beneficial and do you buy it or grow your own. Thanks, Cathy

Re: Wheat Grass, Anyone?

The raw juice makes me nauseous so I take wheatgrass powder. It helps me with my platelets I believe.

Re: Wheat Grass, Anyone?

I juiced wheatgrass a few weeks ago. The market had fresh 4" flats of it. Haven't seen it since. It really was not bad ... not what I expected. I've read many articles on the benefits, but considering I just tried that one time, and it was only a few ounces, I can't say anything on results. I have a packet of seeds. Might grow some small batches at home. The 4" flat produced a little over 2 ounces of juice.

Re: Wheat Grass, Anyone?

I know a friend of a friend who thinks she cured her lung cancer with wheatgrass. She learned about it from a company in Florida. About eight years ago she found them online flew to Florida, spent one week with them. She is alive and doing well. Before she went to Florida and before she started wheatgrass, her doctors told her to go home and get her affairs in order.I wish I had more details for you.
