Wheatgrass - a brief background
Wheatgrass For Growth And Fertility
In the 1930's an American agricultural chemist, Dr. Charles F Schnabel noted that ailing hens fed fresh, young wheatgrass recovered quickly, grew faster and fertility doubled compared with healthy hens fed standard diets. This discovery was the impetus for what became a lifetime of research into the reason for this amazing result. Joined by others, such as biochemist George Kohler, his passion inspired a body of scientific research that continues today. Other pioneers such as Japanese pharmacist, Dr Yoshihide Hagiwara have proven wheatgrass to be of major therapeutic significance.
The Grass Juice Factor & Chlorophyll
It is possible that research chemists have identified all the known biologically active substances in wheatgrass except for the elusive 'Grass Juice Factor' which remains a mystery to this day. Clinical and research evidence has revealed the 'Grass Juice Factor' to have, probably by the stimulation of human growth factors, a powerful effect on the regeneration of damaged skin and the body in general.
In the American Journal of Surgery in 1940, Benjamin Cruskin, M.D., recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll: to clear up foul-smelling odours, neutralize strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome ear inflammation and infections, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever, and cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases.
Most of these observations have been repeated numerous times by Dr. Chris Reynolds, an Australian general practitioner.
The Importance of the Pre-Jointing Phase
Even though the exact nature of the Grass Juice factor remains undetermined, some of its properties can be linked to the precise timing of the wheatgrass sprout growth. For only a few days, early in its growth cycle, wheatgrass develops an amazing build-up of nutrient and therapeutic power. This happens just at the time when the young wheatgrass sprout splits to begin forming the wheat seed - the pre-jointing phase. At this crucial moment there exists a peak concentration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and the all-powerful Grass Juice Factor. Dr Wheatgrass products harness the power of the Grass Juice Factor at this time to create its Wheatgrass Extract. A time when its nutritional and healing powers are best for your skin and your body.
