Wheatgrass juice is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins in mucus in the stomach, and thus, may cause nausea. Chlorophyll will bring talks in in stored away in cells or in fatty tissue into the blood stream. Start with one ounce and work your way up. Drink on an empty stomach. Keep refrigerated and drink the same day.

Wheatgrass juice is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% Chlorophyll which is important blood builder. The chlorophyll molecule closely resembles that of hemin molecule, the pigment which combines with protein to form hemoglobin. The major difference is the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium as in Central Avenue, in that hemin molecule contains iron. The molecular structure of these two substances is almost identical in all other respects.

The starch of the wheat berry is stored energy which when converted to simple sugars is a quick energy source. It is especially good for athletes because it is a juice and is assimilated within 20 minutes. Wheat picks up 92 of the 102 minerals in the soil and contains all vitamins science has isolated. Because 1 ounce of juice equals 2 pounds of produced nutritionally, it naturally shuts off the appestat in the brain.

The bland smoothing effect of chlorophyll in wheatgrass ointments are very beneficial to the treatment of various skin issues involving the outer and underlying layers of the skin, including: itching and burning of the rectum; ivy poisoning; weeping and dry eczema and even conditions caused by insect bites or infection. For first and second degree burns, the use of chlorophyll has been established as an outstanding aid. Sunburn can also be alleviated by the use of chlorophyll ointment at the time of exposure. This can reduce discomfort, and possibly infection, to a minimum. Applied after a severe sunburn, it has the same gratifying results as on regular burns. The same can be said of x-ray burns. Chlorophyll can also reduce or eliminate foul odor associated with burns.

The United States Army exposed guinea pigs to lethal doses of radiation and fed them chlorophyll-rich vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli which resulted in half the mortality rate as those fed a non-chlorophyll diet.

Dr. Earp Thomas found that an ounce of wheatgrass in a gallon of fluoridated water would turn the fluorine into a harmless calcium-phosphate-flouride compound. Used in wash water, it adds softness to the face and hands. In the bath, it is also provides smoothing effect.It stops bleeding, eases itching, and helps sores and pimples heal. Dr. Earp Thomas further discovered that fruits and vegetables contaminated by harmful sprays were thoroughly cleaned and the negative food transformed by wash water with a wisp of wheatgrass placed in water.

Science is proven that chlorophyll will arrest growth and development of unfriendly bacteria. It asked to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth, rather than by any direct action upon the bacteria themselves. Rapp and Gurney at Loyola University established that water-soluble chlorophyll inhibits the action of proteolytic bacteria (which break down protein into simpler substances) and enzymes. Hence, when taken internally; via mouth or rectum, inhibits the putrefaction of protein by some of the bacteria that are commonly found in digestive tract of meat eaters.

Dr. Chui-nana Lai; Ph.d., at University of Texas System Cancer Center, Department of Biology, Houston, Texas, has determined through using the Ames Bacterial Mutagenicity test that chlorophyll is the active factor in wheat sprout extract which inhibits the metabolic activity of carcinogens. A 20-year study of 2,000 telephone company workers has found that a natural ingredient in carrots and leafy green vegetables significantly reduced the risk of lung cancer in cigarette smokers. They determine that a diet high in beta-carotene negates the bad effects of 30 years of smoking. The National Cancer Institute reports that 19 of 21 studies over the years have indicated diets high in beta-carotene contribute to at least 40% risk reduction in developing some kind of cancer.

The chlorophyll in wheatgrass aids in rebuilding the bloodstream. Studies on carious animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count returns to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or low in red blood cell count.

Dr. F. Howard Westcott reported that when chlorophyll is taken internally in adequate quantity, it reduces or eliminates offensive body and breath odors. His studies showed it effective in neutralizing offending odors in the moth from foods, beverages, tobacco and metabolic changes. It effectively neutralizes offending odors from perspiration due to physical exercise, nervousness, menstrual odors, etc.

Docters R. Redpath and J.C. Davis found chlorophyll packs inserted into the sinuses had a drying effect, cleaning up congestion, and provides immediate relief. Congested head colds can be cleared up within 24 hours as well.

Chlorophyll stimulates peristalsis (the ability to go #2 while visiting the restroom) improving the intestines and acts as a mild diuretic. E. Bircher, Research Scientist, says chlorophyll increases the functions of the heart, affects the Vascular System, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. It raises the basic nitrogen exchange and is therefore a tonic.

In the investigation of chlorophyll Doctors Redpath and Davis, ear, nose and throat specialists at Temple University, treated over 1000 patients ranging in age from very young children to elderly people. Each were suffering from a wide variety of ailments such as head cold, acute catarrhal inflammation, hay fever and acute sinus infections. Dr. Gurskin, in commenting on his associates' experience with chlorophyll writes, "It is interesting to note that there is not a single case recorded in which either improvement or cure has not taken place."

For drivers of automobiles, students on the night before exams, or before an evening of entertainment, the chewing of wheatgrass has a tendency to banish sleepiness and to bring a new sense of alertness.
