Seagrass

Cullumpster

Hello all of you healthy peeps,

Just a quicky, i'm looking to find Seagrass as my b/f does not eat any vegetables and apprently this will give you at least 5 portions worth in a little drink! Hmm i bet that tastes nice then :-X

I've checked in my local health food store but cant find it, does anyone know a company that just sells it or would i have to get it online?

thanks

Hi all, here is li'l ol' me, back among the living!

160, thanks for your vote of confidence!!! I am flattered!

I think that Cullumpster might be thinking of Wheatgrass, rather than seagrass, which can be juiced, or alternatively, of Spirulina, which is an algae, usually in powder form that you can dilute in a glass of water and drink.

I don't know much about either, other than they are claimed to be 'very good for you', but you can check these websites:

For Wheatgrass:

http://www.livingfoods.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/articles/wheatgrass.htm

For Spirulina:

http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/products-services/FoodandDrink/spirulina.htm

Or you could look also for Chlorella, another algae that people claim to be a wonder supplement:

http://www.healingdaily.com/oral-chelation/health-benefits-of-chlorella.htm

If this does not give you enough info, try to do a search for each of these products, there are hundreds of articles about each of them on the internet.

Alternatively:

You could disguise vegetables in your boyfriend's food, if you do the cooking, without spending a fortune in supplements (except that you can grow and juice your own wheatgrass, apparently).

For example, take a Bolognese sauce for pasta, you could add a couple of finely chopped carrots, a few sticks of celery, a handful of mushrooms, a couple of onions and 2 tins of chopped tomatoes to 1lb of minced meat (if you want the full recipe let me know, or I might have already posted it somewhere).

If you then add, once cooked, a large handful of chopped parsley on top (as if it was part of the sauce!) you add even more veg and there you go, 5 portions of veg in a dish!

There are many ways to disguise veg for fussy eaters, more ideas anyone?

Hope I did not let you down, 160!

FORTY POINTS ABOUT WHEATGRASS AND ITS NUTRITIONAL VALUES

Wheatgrass juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available.

Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more light energy than any other element.
Wheatgrass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken orally and as a colon implant without toxic side effects.

Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.

Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.

Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a healer.

Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and uses up very little body energy.

Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria
Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count was returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anaemic or low in red cell count.

Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones).


Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil.

Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive far longer than would be expected.

Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass.
Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over.

Wheatgrass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Dr. Earp-Thomas, associate of Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery and so forth.

Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.

Chlorophyll neutralises toxins in the body.


Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.

Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.

In the American Journal of Surgery, 1940, Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll to clear up foul smelling odours, neutralise strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, 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 pyorrhoea in many cases.

Wheatgrass juice heals acne and even removes scars after it has been ingested for seven to eight months. The diet must be improved at the same time.

Wheatgrass juice acts as a detergent in the body and is used as a body deodorant.

A small amount of wheatgrass juice in the human diet prevents tooth decay.

Wheatgrass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes will eliminate toothaches. It pulls poisons from the gums.

Gargle wheatgrass juice for a sore throat.

Drink wheatgrass juice for skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis.

Wheatgrass juice keeps the hair from greying.

Pyorrhea of the mouth: Lay pulp of wheatgrass soaked in juice on diseased area in mouth or chew wheatgrass, spitting out the pulp.

By taking wheatgrass juice, one may feel a difference in strength, endurance, health and spirituality - and experience a sense of well-being.

Wheatgrass juice improves digestion.

Wheatgrass juice is high in enzymes.

Wheatgrass juicr is an excellent skin cleanser and can be absorbed through the skin for nutrition. Pour green juice over your body in a tub of warm water and soak for 15-20 minutes, rinse with cold water.

Wheatgrass implants (enemas) are great for healing and detoxifying the colon walls. The implants also heal and cleanse the internal organs. After an enema, wait 20 minutes then implant 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice. Retain for 20 minutes.

Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open. It is high in magnesium.

Dr. Birscher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll 'concentrated sunpower'. He believes that chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs.

According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, re-builder and neutraliser of toxins.

Wheatgrass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is minimised since chlorophyll increases haemoglobin production.

Wheatgrass juice reduces high blood pressure and enhances the capillaries.

Wheatgrass juice can remove heavy metals from the body.

Wheatgrass juice is great for blood disorders of all kinds.

Cullumpster, where did you get that article from?

I don't mean to offend you, it was an interesting read, but it contains some of the most amazing scientific nonsense I've seen in a long time, and I want to submit it to the Guardian's Bad Science column?! - most of it would seem pretty plausible to someone with no background in science, but it really is 99% mumbo jumbo!
