What juicing did for me

Juice what? wheatgrass is beyond a doubt, the most amazing plant that I have ever had the privilege to grow and juice! Why? Because wheatgrass has been shown to contain the largest group of nutrients and minerals of any plant ever tested on the planet! I would say that makes wheatgrass juice, by default, the best!


Now, I realize that's a very bold statement, but do your own research and I'll bet you agree. Cutting some wheatgrass that you've been growing on your window sill (greenhouse/garden) giving it a quick rinse and then juicing it immediately is a most powerful fix for what ails you. I don't give medical advice, but I will claim this much: wheatgrass juice will rock your socks off! If you've never juiced before, you should probably start with apple juice. No I don't mean the preserved, processed, nutritionally dead stuff from the discount store. I'm talking about juicing fresh, preferably certified organic apples. If it's your first time juicing, start with about four to six ounces. Easy does it, see how your body reacts. It will be a beneficially detoxifying experience.

For a wide range of great information about everything juicing. Be sure to visit my friends juicing for health You will find a plethora of usable information about juicing, various juicing machines available and some really great recipes as well. This is where I bought my wheatgrass juicer and I was so happy at the price and the customer service!

Like most people, I first read about wheatgrass in Steve Meyerowitz’s book, "Wheatgrass, Natures Finest Medicine." (You may know him better as the “Sproutman”) Here is the story of my experience with wheatgrass juice. In the early 90’s I went through a period of progressively deteriorating health. I had dozens and dozens of open ulcers throughout my digestive tract that bled a habitually.

Everything that I ate, obviously had a direct and painful impact on my body. I ate as little as possible since it seemed that most foods simply exacerbated the situation. Years went by. I began juicing after someone heard about my condition and asked if I would mind discussing it. He told me his experience and how juicing ---in his words--- "cured him". Well! Within 24 hours I had a machine and was juicing in my kitchen! I’ll never forget the most powerful invigorating feeling of my life! I was hooked! Within hours the typical GI cramps, stabbing pains, noise and other chronic symptoms had disappeared!

Juicing is the most notable change to my diet and it has had the greatest healing impact on my body. My interest in juicing grew, and eventually led me to read Steve Meyerowitz's book, Wheatgrass, Natures Finest Medicine. Meyerowitz's book sparked an interest in wheatgrass and I wondered, why can't I grow this stuff myself?

Grow Your Own Grass!


As good as wheatgrass is, it still doesn’t take away from the fact that it is pretty dog gone expensive! At $18.00 in a local organic store for 12 fluid ounces. That's $1.50 and ounce over $190.00 a gallon. Yes, you read that right! It didn’t take me too start growing my own!


This fall, I conducted an accidental wheatgrass experiment. I sprouted some certified organic wheatgrass seed, placed them on a layer of cotton burr compost and moistened the soil. As it happened I got caught up with life and the ignored wheatgrass kept on growing. It started to get cold outside, and I needed some space. The wheatgrass was a bit mature for it’s full advantages so I decided to just lay the flats out around a shrub in the our side lawn. I figured the wheatgrass would breakdown and become good compost for the shrub. Last week I was astounded the wheatgrass not just growing but flourishing! In this picture you can see where my beautiful Bermuda is already in dormancy, (that's the brown) I'm already thinking or considering converting part of my lawn to wheatgrass! (Just don’t tell my wife, ok?) I’m still thinking about that $190.00 a gallon.
