Question:
So yesterday im at my favorite place to get a cold drink on a hot day, Booster Juice. Now ive heard that you guys dont really have these in the states (which put me into depression for a number of days)... booster juice is like... healthy fruit drinks. kinda... smoothie-ish... yesss.
So anyways. im at Booster Juice right? and im waiting for my beautiful strawberry sunshine drink to be ready, and i pick up this pamphlet that says "did you know... " at the top. Now, i know a lot of things, but not all. so i picked it up (lol) ... And this is what it says:
Did you know..
Wheatgrass: 1 oz of wheatgrass juice has as much nutrition as 2 ½ lbs of green leafy vegetables. It is a powerful antioxidant and fights the formation of some cancer cells. It detoxifies the body, ridding it of accumulated and unhealthy substances.
Wheatgrass juice also:
- increases energy and vitality
- fights against illness
- improves eczema and psoriasis
- helps sore throats heal
- prevents tooth decay
- can be used on small cuts to speed healing
- refreshes and rejuvenates the bloodstream
- is a complete live food
huh. fancy that. a yummy drink improves psoriasis. anyone else heard of this?
So does MTX and there is no calories!
KJ, have you read on the Complementary & Alternative Medicine forum?
There are a lot of things to try to help p---lots about healthy eating. If it doesn't help p it will help our bodies to be healthier in other ways. I found a way to lower my cholesterol without medicine. When the rest of our body is healthy, we have more energy to work on the troubling things.
It was part of the program that permanently cleared the p on my knee and elbow. I've also met people who have cured cancer with it as part of a comprehensive program. It has dozens of uses. For example, if you have a sore throat, gargle with it; because of the chlorophyll, it's extremely high in oxygen and the germs can't survive around it. In my experienc eit will eliminate a sore throat on contact. It's ONE of my secrets for not getting colds... It also is great topically and internally for acne. I have seen celebrities walk aroud with it (at retreats)on their face because of it's benefits on skin. For p, or other skin conditions, you can also make a poultice with the pulpt. You can even grow your own very easily, then it will be next to free, it will only cost you pennies and will help clean your liver as opposed to harming it ;)
If you can tolerate the taste, it's one of the best things for you, It's full of chlorophyll and has every nutrient we need to survive. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one food; personally I'd choose wheatgrasss juice. Much study was done on wheatgrass juice by a woman named Anne Wigmore and her followers.
If you can tolerate the taste, I say it's definitely worth a try. Be informed though, that you may need to ingest at least 2 oz a day and if you're still ingesting foods you can't tolerate it may not work as well, but some is better than none! Be forewarned; it will give you a boost stronger than a cup of coffee!
PS...I'm sure the calories are minimal...in fact, it boosts metabolism and helps decrease appetite (because you're getting all the nutrients you need in such a condensed form) therefore, it is also used for weight loss... ;)
So does MTX and there is no calories!
MTX is BAD for some people---just ask me!

I agree with Granny, MTX didn't help me at all and just made me EXTREMELY ill.
Kim,
You certainly can drink the stuff whether it helps your P or not, but I'll tell you not to hold your breathe on the P issue.
There is a guy that used to post here that was one of the before/after photo people on a website that markets wheatgrass http://www.wheatgrassprofessional.i...sor_case_hx.htm . The problem is that he told us that he also used topical steroids and UVB simultaneously with the wheatgrasss, so let's be honest about what clear the psoriasis.
The guy also posted later that he was starting MTX, so if wheatgrass really cleared him I don't know why he was going on MTX. Looks like Mitch was right afterall.
I am like Sue, MTX made me very ill. Deep dark depression. No energy,,,,,,had to tell myself, mentally to move. Sleeping 10-12 hours every night with a 2-3 hour nap during the day.
Didn't help p at all,,,,got worse while taking it. I think if I keep taking it, I will die! Have to cut it down slowly to get off it. I can see a change just by dropping 2 pills. Next week, I'll drop to 1 for 2 weeks and be done with it!
It's like everything else---what helps one does not help another.
as someone who knows a little bit about this stuff, I don't think wheatgrass alone, OR ANY ONE substance for that matter, can cure p. I think wheatgrass can be helpful when used as part of a COMPREHENSIVE program, including dietary modification and freedom from intolerable foods. When I did it I was also on a 100% raw foods program, did 3 days of juice fasting, meditation, lymphatic exercise, and was part of a prayer cirlcle every morning. Not to discourage you, but rather inform and perhaps inspire. I wish curing this whole p thing were simple, but it may take time. It certainly takes a lot of commitment and a lot of discipline, but by golly, it is SO worth it!
