The Magic of Wheatgrass Juice

Look around yourself almost 1/3 of the Earth is covered with grass. Nature has given the 'soldiers' to animals and humans as cure in the form of grass. You might have seen cats and dogs nibbling over the grass whenever they fall sick. Intuitively animals know the grass is a cure for all kinds of sickness. Among all types of grasses, wheat grass (till first 2 weeks after the germination of the wheat grains) has all the necessary nutrients.

Wheat grass juice is a soldier in a true sense, a soldier equipped with all kinds of intelligence, power, sharpness and speed. It can be called as a soldier of the body and has the greatest potential to cure the human body from practically every kind of disease, because of the following qualities:-

1)   It is a complete protein containing over 20 essential and non- essential amino acids.

2)   In the Vitamin department, it contains twice Vitamin A (Beta- Carotene) than carrots, all the Vitamins B including B-12, more Vitamin C than oranges, Vitamin E and Vitamin K.

3)   Wheatgrass is an excellent source for all major and minor minerals, containing 92 of the 102 minerals found in the soil. It is especially high in calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium, as well as trace minerals such as zinc and selenium.

4)   It contains essential fatty acids: Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid.

5)   It has more than 80 different enzymes. Nutritive value of 15 kg wheatgrass juice is equivalent to 350 kg of the  vegetables

Wheatgrass has oxygen in a diffusible state (ready for body absorption) in abundance. When we drink wheatgrass juice, supply of oxygen in blood increases, leading to the longevity and vitality of the body.  Chlorophyll of wheatgrass is also known as green blood. When compared to the molecule of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in human blood, chlorophyll is almost identical. The major difference is that the nucleus of chlorophyll contains Magnesium (Mg), whereas hemoglobin contains Iron (Fe). Chlorophyll's unique ability to kill anaerobic odor producing bacteria is the reason, it covers up the smell of garlic, fights bad breath, body odor and acts as a general antiseptic. These bacteria, which live without air, are destroyed by chlorophyll's oxygen producing agents.

Dr. Otto Warburg, the 1931 Nobel Prize winner of Physiology and Medicine discovered that oxygen deprivation was a major cause of cancer. The cancer therapy today bombards tumours with ozone, a highly active oxygen. Unlike many drugs, chlorophyll has never been found to be toxic in any dosages. Chlorophyll can even protect us from harmful radiation from X-ray, television, computer screen, transmitters and microwave. Famous research scientist E.Bircher called Chlorophyll as “Concentrated Sun  Power” and reported that it increases the function of the heart, vascular system, kidneys, intestine, uterus and the lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange. And is therefore a tonic which, considering its stimulation properties cannot be compared with any other food or medicine on the planet. We can conclusively say that drinking wheatgrass juice certainly detoxyfies the blood and strengthens the immune system. It leads to more energy and an improved ability to combat and reverse illness.

Some F. A. Q.

Question: How do I avoid mould when growing wheatgrass?

Answer: Mould is the most common problem, when growing wheatgrass (in fact it is often the only problem). It can be identified as white blobs forming (normally around the base of the wheatgrass stalks) when it is alive and as black spots when it is dead. The following are the suggestions for preventing mould formation to your home grown wheatgrass.

Question: At what stage the wheat grass should be used for Juice?

Answer: The plant undergoes rapid growth with increasingly nutritional manifestation until maturity (when it switches gear from vegetative growth to reproductive growth). Just prior to this change- over, the plant is at its nutritional peak. This transition is known as jointing (as shown in picture). After jointing the nutritional counts drop radically. The plant then start sending all its nourishment to the developing wheat grains.

Question: Can I take wheatgrass during my pregnancy?

Answer: Wheatgrass is great for prenatal care, as it provides the body with nutrients like antioxidants, chlorophyll and folic acid.

Question: I have a wheat or gluten allergy, is wheatgrass juice safe to take?

Answer: Wheatgrass is harvested till the jointing stage, before it turns into a grain. In this stage the grass does not contain any gluten. It is extremely rare for people with wheat allergies to have reaction, because they are usually allergic to the gluten found in the wheat kernel. Wheat grain is different than wheat grass. One is grain and other is a green vegetable.

Question: Can you use wheat grass powder instead of Wheat grass Juice?

Answer: The Wheat grass juice has all the nutrients capable to fight with diseases found in our body, more over it is also mandatory to consume the juice within twenty minutes of the preparation. After that time period the nutrient value radically falls down, but in case of wheat grass powder, the optimum benefit can not be attained. Anything that is dried has an

incredible loss of vital life force. Even if you dry it carefully. Dried is dormant. Dormant is inactive. Problem with all that dried stuff is the life force. The ethereal energy is dissipated and lost. You are something highly vibrational and wheat grass juice is also the highly vibrational –it tunes right into you and brings up your vibration.

How Wheatgrass Heals?

Here I would like to shift your focus from mythology and history towards concrete facts and logic.

Wheatgrass helps in healing by:

1. Restoring the damaged neurons.
2. Restoring the organ damage.
3. Behavior modification.
4. Restoring the intuitive intelligence.
5. Complete mind–body cleansing.
6. Optimizing the hormonal balance.

And to complete the answer I will tell you..

Why Wheatgrass Heals?

Because it contains:

1. Power of sunlight in condensed form.

2. All the 92 nutrients out of 102 nutrients in the appropriate ratio as needed by human body for perfect balance.

3. Mind–body–soul alignment through perfect vibrational energy. Truly said, by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, “Not the Doctor, but Nature Heals”.

Question: How can I take out the wheat grass juice?

Answer: You have the potential to change your life forever. I am going to reveal to you the Panacea on earth. It will change the way you think about health and then you'll never be required to visit any hospital or health center to cure dreaded diseases.

It had been in use since ages. One can find its mention and use in the pages of mythology and world history. Let me give some of the endorsees of this humble little secret.

1) Lord Ganesha once swallowed a mighty demon and developed a burning sensation in his stomach. No God or doctor all over the cosmos could relieve him from his burning pain. Then 8800 sages gave him this food that we are talking about & he got immediate relief.

2) Jesus Christ asked his men and mankind to take this food to cure themselves of any disease.

3) This food was taken by Egyptian Kings and soldiers of Mesopotamian civilization to keep themselves healthy.

4) Shushruta who wrote “Shushruta Samhita” and is known as 'father of Surgery', used this to heal the injuries and wounds of his patients. 5) It was used during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya to heal and cure wounds and injuries.

6) The great Arab-traveler Ibn–e-battuta or Hajji Abu-Abdulla Muhammad was a Moroccan. He is known for his fascinating travels spanning thirty years. He started his journey at the age of twenty-one (1325) and ended it in 1355. During his travel in 1348, when he was in Damascus Syria ,he got sick.  that time, the whole world was under a pandemic called Bubonic Plague, also known as Black-Death. It was the most devastating pandemic in human History. Ibn-e-Battuta too caught this plague. One of his professors helped him to get cured. This professor gave him the juice of this wonder food and other concoctions. He was back on his foot soon and left for India.

7) Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II, who built 'Hanging Garden of Babylon' to please his homesick wife Amytis of Media, once got very sick and lost his mental balance. He was sick for seven long years. Finally he got cured consuming fruits, vegetables and herbs and this food. 

The harsh truth of modern health system

“Today many spends their entire earning of 50 years in saving their life, in the last 50 days of his life .”

Part-1

It goes without saying that the hospital has become a thriving business today. Remember that your falling ill and thereby your prolonged illness is going to benefit hospitals and a few companies. Perhaps this is the reason why a company like BRITANNIA writes in a certain ad for it's biscuit,' Let's be friends with diabetes.' Just imagine who would like to be friendly with any disease?

Although it has been proved that the present set of diseases related to our prevailing life style could be attributed to fast food. In spite of that,  you go to any big private hospital, you are sure to find fast food restaurants in the same.

The matter does not end here. Let's move forward and go around into the kitchens of any renowned hospitals, where you will find packed juices containing harmful chemicals being served to patients, in the name of fruit juice, which is detrimental to the delicate immune system of the patients. Every doctor knows that freshly extracted fruit juices are very good for health and packed juices are more harmful, even then it is served in many hospitals. Similarly, food prepared in a microwave, quite often becomes the cause of illness and fatal diseases. Microwave vibrates the water molecules lakh of times in a second which heats up the food and cooks it in no time. But the chemical structure of the water molecules contained in the food changes in an unnatural way, thus making the food changed it's properties, which can be toxic when it finally goes into the stomach.

Now the matter of concern is that when patients, who are admitted to hospitals, are served the food cooked in microwave it can aggravate their problems.

Possibly, our doctors too overlook such crucial facts/reasons and like any other layman, they themselves end up becoming patients. Many of the doctors themselves suffer from many such diseases. When they themselves suffer from those , how can they treat their patients.

If you don't believe these facts, google "IMA" together with "tropicana" you find dozens of news link stating that,  an eminent institution of medical profession, i.e. Indian Medical Association, which is supposed to be the most reputed organization, which has about more than three lakhs doctors as members and also called the backbone of Modern Medicine in India. In 2008, through an advertisement on T.V., recommended drinking of Tropicana juice and said that it is very beneficial for health. Whereas; the fact is that it contains so many harmful chemicals as preservatives, that the juice becomes toxic for health. It is true that fresh juice is good for us…but in the name of fresh juice they promoted packed juice.

To keep you alive with diseases is going to benefit these hospitals and companies manufacturing medicines. They are together hatching this conspiracy. It is a strange misfortune of human species that only human beings earn money by others human diseases. Not a day passes by where we don’t come across the headlines in the news highlighting health fraud or a medical scam by pharmaceutical companies of the world.

Part-2 

The product Listerine which comes as a mouth wash now, was discovered in 1879, as a surgical antiseptic. The word Listerine was derived from the name of an English surgeon, Joseph Lawrence Lister, who had first demonstrated the use of Listerine as a surgical antiseptic. Soon Joseph Lawrence and Jordan.W.Lambert were selling Listerine as a floor cleaner. In 1895, suddenly it began to be used for teeth, as a mouth cleaner, to dispel bad smell from the mouth, thus was being sold to the dental surgeons. 
By 1914, in America, it began to be used as an 'over the counter' mouth wash and thus became popular by the same. By 1920, Lambert Pharmacal company, Listerine maker got convinced that he had got cure, now there arose the need for a disease. Finally, ‘Halitosis’ disease was made up. This referred to the foul smell of the mouth, about which a very few people knew. Through advertisements, Listerine was demonstrated as the treatment for halitosis. The advertisers described halitosis as such a disease which could be the one of the causes of lack of success in the career, romance and married life of a person. Soon, America's 90% people were known to be affected by halitosis.

seems no escape from it…. only escape is raise your awareness and consciousness and return to the natural way of living.

ARE COPPER MUGS SAFE: WHAT’S THE TRUTH?

Copper, reddish-gold surface  carries a certain antique appeal. Many alternative medicine users advocates use of copper vessels for drinking water and other  beverage.  I have collected  and compiled medical opinions on it.   

Drinking anything with a pH below 6.0 from a copper vessel is highly unsafe. That would include anything with vinegar, fruit juice and wine. It’s undeniable that copper is a beautiful accent to any decorating scheme. 

Copper has made a comeback all over the home, but especially in the kitchen. Copper kettles, copper pots and pans, copper sinks, copper plating—this warm material evokes a feeling of belonging. It’s an essential part of that vintage aesthetic that brings communities together to share food and laughter over drinks.

But many adding to their drink ware collection, but beware too much copper can be toxic, after all. We’re past the days of Egyptian lead eyeliner and mercury thermometers.

It is true that copper exists naturally in small quantities in the human body,  and it’s necessary to help regulate oxygen in the blood stream, and is even found in minute amounts in our drinking water. But too much copper can cause major health problems.

While acute cases of copper poisoning can be treated, long-term overconsumption of copper can lead to copper toxicity, which affects multiple systems in the body, including the stomach, kidneys, liver, and brain. Heating copper to hot temperatures and cooking acidic food in copper cookware are especially likely to lead to ill effects.

For these reasons, the sale of pure copper kitchenware is often restricted to decorating purposes only. or otherwise it is lined with stainless steel / tin both of which are perfectly safe to drink. This interior lining prevents chemical reactions between copper and the ingredients of the drink and it also prevents copper from leaking into your cocktail.

While used less frequently, even unlined copper mugs are safe to drink from depending on a few factors.

1.   They must be filled only with cold or room-temperature beverages.

2.   They must not be filled with an acidic substance.

Not easy to control all the time as both heat and acidity react with copper, dissolving it and causing it to potentially leak into your drink. In my personal opinion trace metal are useful to our body growth if it is taken from natural plant diet. Iron deficiency can not be treated by drinking from iron pot  J In same way copper mug is not for copper deficiency. But copper do have anti bacterial property and can kill bacteria to certain extent.

Copper toxicity, can occur from eating acid foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware, or from exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources.

Copper is a mineral that is found throughout the body. It helps your body make red blood cells and keeps nerve cells and your immune system healthy. It also helps form collagen, a key part of bones and connective tissue. Copper may also act as an antioxidant, reducing free radicals that can damage cells and DNA.

If you consume too much copper, the effect can be poisonous. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, diarrhea, stomach pain and a metallic taste in your mouth. If you then develop a copper toxicity, this rare occurrence can lead to heart problems, jaundice, coma and potentially death.

As per The EPA guideline has established an "action level" for copper in drinking water. This action level is exceeded if the level of copper in more than 10 percent of the tap water samples collected by a water system is greater than 1,300 micrograms per liter (or 1,300 parts per billion).

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adult men and women is 900 μg/day. To overcome copper deficiency it is better to eat fruit high in copper. Below are 15 fruits highest in copper, including guavas, durians, avocados, blackberries, pomegranates, litchis, starfruit, kiwifruit, grapes, green olives, persimmons, mangos, pineapples, bosc pears, and raspberries.
