The strong cellulose makes it too woody and fibrous for the long and complex intestines in humans. Grass eating animals have short intestines, and thus are able to chew and digest the grass.

Wheatgrass is a type of grass that can be juiced and drunk straight (intense) or added to juice and smoothies. Wheatgrass that is certified organic produces very high concentrations of chlorophyll, enzymes and vitamins. Wheatgrass is a plant that has the nutrient profile similar to that of other leafy green vegetables and contains vitamins A, B complex, C and E, trace elements calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium, enzymes and amino acids.

You mentioned that most Native Americans are Type O. I was wondering (being a type O as well) about the use of corn, since many tribes have used that as a staple.

Most of the Phyllostachys species tend to have edible qualities. While some can be eaten raw, others must be cooked, changing the water at least twice to remove the bitter taste. Usually, the new shoots of edible bamboos appear in the spring (March, April, and May) in the United States. During that period, there is a 3–4 week window of opportunity for cutting them.

If you have eaten the affected product and are experiencing the following symptoms, you should seek immediate medical care.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of the deer tick, Ixodes dammini. These ticks are approximately the size of the period at the end of this sentence and are brown or black. They are found in the woods and brushy areas and transmit the bacteria to humans and dogs through a bite. Lyme disease is difficult to detect, diagnose and treat. The symptoms, which are often flu-like, include joint pain, fever, headache, nausea and fatigue.

Dennis Gross ate 102 of 'em in 2003. Everyone always says, "I can beat that" but it's impossible. He's not a big guy. He's looks just like the Japanese kid on Glutton Bowl who ate 33 hot dogs in 5 minutes. He's just a tiny well muscled little boy. This is about the time dj's say something "witty" like "Say there's a guy named Tom there -- do you call him a Peeping Tom?" Then I say "hardy har har" or a nice Ed McMahon "heyoooo".

It's true! The eviscerate is sold to rendering plants for a protein additive. Dog food would be an example of a product that might have Culver Duck eviscerate in it. The blood is sold as blood meal for gardening purposes. The feathers are in high demand for down. The fat is sold for food service. Culver Duck fat is comprised of mostly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. That in itself would be enough to warrant the demand; but, the flavor of duck fat is indescribably delicious.

Other vegetable extracts such as celery, parsley, and spinach mix well with wheat juice. For a complete list of recipes, please visit the RECIPE section of this website.

We recommend you start with 30mls of wheatgrass juice followed with a glass of water for the first few days. Once you are comfortable with this you can increase the amount up to 60mls, eg. 30mls twice a day. Wheatgrass has a strong cleansing effect and may make you nauseous if you start with too much. Experienced users may drink up to 230mls per day, and therapeutic doses for treating serious illness may require 230 – 900 mls per day.

We have never washed our wheatgrass before harvesting. Sprout’s wheatgrass is grown in a protected greenhouse and not only is it watered several times a day with fresh water, we never use any sprays that need washing off. Rrinsing the cut grass however may help clean off any mould that may have grown. (which is a common problem encountered when growing wheatgrass.)

It takes only about 15 minutes a day per person average to keep it all going well. BUT, like your houseplants, you can't just forget it. You have to do the work regularly. It is a regular job, like cleaning your teeth or doing your laundry. Fortunately, the extra energy it gives you will more than make up for the effort it takes.

Of course I can't know that. But to me, wheatgrass is a message to my body that I am prepared to do some work on my health. The energy gain and clearing out that wheatgrass brings give me the push to look more carefully at what passes my lips in the name of nourishment. To make a huge generalization, most of the food you can buy in the supermarket will make you sick. It is not real food at all.

In different forms, wheat has been used for thousands of years for it's nutrients and healing properties. In 1958, Dr Ann Wigmore did extensive research in to Wheatgrass, and since then, many claims have been made about it curing people of cancer etc. I believe their are web sites dedicated to Dr Wigmore's work, and the many testimonials made, you just need to browse for them.

The three main ways to take them are : Powder Form - 1 to 2 teaspoons a day mixed in juice or water (cold or slightly warm)or sprinkled on your cereal. Fresh Juice - use a juicer to extract the juice from the grass.
