Hello Raw Soul (Ama) Thanks for the information about the video from

Queen Afua's son. I am going to order it too.

I had said I would put information about Wheatgrass on this website.

I'm sure there is probably some information from earlier postings under

messages. I am reading this information for myself also, as I know

wheatgrass is a good thing, but I am resisting it just through here.

I did drink a little today, mixed with lemon juice and a small amount of

avave nectar.

From Ann Wigmore's book on wheatgrass juice..The Wheatgrass Book,

Wheatgrass Enzymes: Top-Notch Blood Cleansers

We can employ two basic types of enzymes in the process of cleansing

and rebuilding our blood, and ultimately, our bodies. The first group

is indogenous enzymes, which are found inside us. While this group

is powerful and capable of great detoxifiction, indogenous enzymes do wear

out with age. Their lifespan and abilities can be extended if we

help them from the outside by adding exogenous enzymes, like the ones found

in wheatgrass juice, to our diet.

We can only get the benefits of the many enzymes found in grass by

eating it uncooked. Cooking destroys 100 percent of the enzymes in

food. A certain amount of enzyme activity is also lost by prolonged

exposure to air, processing, or drying. This is why I recommend that

you grow your own wheatgrass and drink it within minutes of juicing.

In addition to enzymes, wheatgrass also contains amino acids (polypeptides)

and bioflavonoids (compounds related to vitamins) that also help cleanse

the blood and other tissues. The amino acides are absorbed directly

into the blood. As well as neutralizing toxic substances like cadmium,

nicotine, strontium, mercury, and polyvinvyl chloride, by changing them

into insoluble salts which the body can eliminate more easily, they stimulate

cellular metabolism. The flavanoids act to detoxify cells and prevent their

deterioration.....

Nutrition and Rejuvenation

Proper nutrition is inseparable from the process of rejuvenation.

No other method or treatment can bring assured results as quickly and permanently

with total safety. Despite huge medical gains over the past one hundred

years, medical solutions to life extension and rejuvenation have all fallen

short-the average male lives just four years longer today than his ancestor

did a hundred years ago. And until we can prevent ourselves from

falling into the grave in the first place it is doubtful whether we will

find a way to raise ourselves out of it.

The most sane and direct approach we have towards finding the fountain

of youth is through proper nutrition, utilizing potent foods like wheatgrass

and sprouts, and moderate exercise.

My own experience exemplified the miraculous ability of wheatgrass

to fill deficiencies in the body and reverse the aging process. At

fifty years of age I was ready for an early retirement. My hair was

gray, I had a terrible case of colitis and other colon problems, I suffered

from low energy, and had no clear direction in life. Out of desperation

I turned to nature for relief. Lessons I had learned in childhood

from my grandmother were strong in my memory and dreams.

My intuition and reason led me to experiment with the most vital and

nutritionally rich foods I could find. These were not meats, cheeses,

and eggs, as most people suspected at that time, but those foods which

could trap the sun's energy and transfer it to my body. These were

live foods--foods richer in vitamins, mineral, and life energy,

than in proteins or fats. While proteins and fats are necessary,

I knew that I did not need them in the heavy form and large quantities

used by the average person.

I knew that to find the energy of life and use it to rejuvenate my

tired and sickly body, I would have to find it in green plants. In

wheatgrass, raw foods, and exercise, I found what I feel is as close to

the fountain of youth as we are going to get. Twenty-five- years

after my discovery, my hair has turned fully natural brown again.

My wight has been a stable 119 (the same as it was in my youth) and my

energy level is limitless. For the past ten years I have required

an average of only four hours of sleep a night, and I haven't needed the

services of a physician in years. My work has brought me all over

the world on many demanding lecture tours, sometimes for months at a time.

Yet I have more energy than I ever remember having as a child-and I am

no child at seventy-six. What I found can help you too. But

instead of taking my word for it, examine what I have to say carefully,

and then, if you are so inclined, try it for yourself.
