"For breakfast, I usually have a green smoothie with dehydrated wheat grass (available at www.livefoodfactor.com), fresh-squeezed orange juice, a tablespoon of raw coconut butter and a tablespoon of unhulled sesame seeds (for calcium). For lunch, I will have a salad with minimal or no dressing or other fat. Sometimes I will put a few olives or soaked and dehydrated sunflower seeds in it to spark up the taste. For dinner, I will have raw soup or whatever leftover gourmet dishes I have around from the weekend. I sometimes go out to eat, now that more places serve raw entrees." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"In general, a food product that includes wheat in its name (such as cracked wheat, wheat bran, wheat grass, wheat germ, or whole wheat) or malt in its name (barley malt, malt extract, malt flavoring, or malt syrup) is considered to contain gluten. One notable exception, however, is buckwheat, which is not directly related to Triticum and is considered safe to consume. Distilled ingredients (such as vinegar and alcohol) are allowed, because gluten does not pass into the distillate. However, beverages made with barley (such as beer, ale, lager, and some rice and soy drinks) are not allowed [57]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Wheat Grass Cultivation To grow wheat grass indoors, spread wheat berries on one inch of fertile soil, ideally mixed 50% with peat moss (from a garden supply store). The soil can be in a tray or box. Cover seeds with V2 inch of soil and moisten daily just enough for the grass to grow. When the grass reaches about five inches in height, it is cut off and its essential fluid extracted in a wheat grass juicer, or it can be chewed very thoroughly. (The pulp residue from chewing can be discarded.) Once cut, the wheat grass is allowed to regrow for two more harvests." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book.)

"This indoor, tray-grown wheat grass only takes about five days to a week to get ready. The simple sugars produced in the shoots by photosynthesis are never converted to the complex nutrients found in the leaves of the young wheat plant grown in the soil in cold weather. As a result, this inferior wheat grass has a strong sweet taste; drinking even small amounts of this stuff straight can make first-time users sick to their stomachs. Tray-grown wheat grass may be all right for salads and sandwiches, but it definitely is no match for soil-grown winter wheat grass." - John Heinerman, Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Healing Herbs and Spices (Get the book.)

"A third alternative is a superfood combination that contains things like rice bran, spirulina, chlorella, flower pollen, nutritional yeast, wheat grass, barley grass, powdered beets, etc. to provide a full complement of vitamins and minerals. • Watch out for fillers. Superfoods are expensive, and many manufacturers cheat their formulas down by adding large amounts of things such as low-grade rice bran and lecithin.' Also, it's important to make sure that your superfood provides good sources for the B vitamins and for vitamin D." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"If you feel the need to take in extra nutrients then purchase a good quality juice extractor and extract the juice of organic dark green leafy vegetables (barley grass juice is best and wheat grass is good, as well) and the juice of red, orange, or yellow fruit and vegetables such as carrots and beets. If this is too much like hard work, you can use the dried organic barley, carrot, and beet juices available at the market. (Check out www.mary-anns.com for the ones I use and recommend.)

"I remember the first time I took a 1 oz glass of wheat grass juice, I had a spinning sensation in my head. So the next time I tried it I put the 1 oz of wheat grass in 12 oz of water, drank it slowly, and had no problem as it gave my body a nice chlorophyll and phytonutrient boost. Eventually I was able to take a straight 1 oz glass of wheat grass juice. But it's a gradual process; normal American impatience can be a danger. So let me warn you. Do not jump ahead of the protocol. You can do yourself harm. Be patient." - Gary Null, Gary Null's Power Aging (Get the book.)

"I recommend the most, such as chlorella, spirulina, wheat grass, barley grass and many others. This is a product that I have been using for some time now. I put it in my daily breakfast shake and I recommend it to others. It's sold at a very fair price from a company that I now know and trust. And these people give you good service even though they don't have the most beautiful labeling in the world. But Jenny Lee Supergreens is an outstanding powder that will give you superior nutrition." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "Avocado (high in heart-healthy oils) • wheat grass, barley grass and other cereal grass juices • Fish oils, flax oils, macadamia nut oil • Tomatoes (raw only) • Carrots (raw, unpeeled only) • Wheat germ (very high in essential fatty acids) • Molasses (very high in B vitamins) • Beets, radishes (liver cleanser, blood cleanser, raw only) By the way, every fruit or vegetable on this list must be eaten in raw form only. For example, a can of cooked beets or a glass of V8 juice just isn't the same. If it's cooked, it's dead. And it's no longer a superfood." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"And it's made with cereal grasses such as barley grass and wheat grass. It also contains a small amount of chlorella and spirulina. It has medicinal mushrooms and concentrates of berries, vegetables and fruits. So it really is a whole food concentrate that covers all of the main disease-fighting food groups. And as I've said before about this product, if the manufacturer could actually claim the truth about this supplement on the label, it would say, "This product prevents cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many other diseases." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "Wheat grass sprouts are remarkably healthy for you because they're like tiny living multivitamins. But in the food processing industry, they don't sprout the wheat. They just take the dry wheat berries and start dissecting them in order to separate their parts. The first part that gets removed is the "bran" or the outer shell. This bran is extremely high in fiber because it is a protective covering that encapsulates the entire wheat berry in order for it to survive its journey back into the soil where it might someday create another wheat plant." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"By the way, gluten is found only in the grains of these plants and not the leaves, so rest assured that barley grass or wheat grass juice is gluten-free!) Your coloring is determined by the amount of melanin that is produced by your skin. Melanin absorbs UV rays and acts as a natural sunscreen. Your diet can help to sustain and even increase your melanin production, thereby ensuring greater protection against the sun's harmful rays." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.) "It is vital that you eat plenty of red (such as beets, tomatoes, or strawberries), green (barley grass or wheat grass juice, spinach, herbs such as rocket and basil), and orange fruit and vegetables daily as these provide essential antioxidants that prevent your skin from becoming over-exposed to pollutants in the air. Barley grass is the most nutritious of these foods and does not contain oxalic acid like spinach does. Oxalic acid prevents you from efficiently using the iron and calcium in spinach." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"BARLEY GRASS JUICE The juice of the chlorophyll-rich grass of young barley plants is nutritionally comparable to wheat grass juice as one of the most remarkable high-chlorophyll foods. Of the two, barley is more alkaline and therefore balanced, while wheat grass juice is stronger and faster acting. As excellent a protein source as meat, barley grass juice—and wheat grass juice—are nearly as high in chlorophyll and vitamin A as microalgae. In addition, barley grass offers important digesin a small Everest-region village for a number of years, recently attended my cooking school." - Rebecca Wood, The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Resource for Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"Drink 2 glasses a day of a green drink made from a green powder that consists of spirulina, wheat grass, and barley grass powder. These substances will raise your immunity levels and feed healthy bacteria. Avoid sugar and processed carbohydrates as they fuel yeast, helping it to reproduce. Avoid or reduce fruits and avoid fruit juice altogether. Most fruits and all fruits juices are too high in sugar and fuel yeast. Avoid all alcoholic beverages, as the yeast in these drinks feeds the yeast in your system." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"While you're there, think about having a shot of wheat grass while waiting for your juice. Remember, you need your vegetables, lots of vegetables. Try to make sure they're organic. These products do cost money, like everything else, and you're probably wondering how to fit them into your budget. If you're as desperate as I was, you'll want to do everything possible to find something that works for you. I started with one or two of these products, studied and learned more as I cut other foods out. This gave me more money to spend on the products I needed." - Gregory, A.
