What in the world is wheatgrass juice and where does it come from?

Last week’s articles discussed steps to begin to cleanse your colon. First comes three to seven days of “homework.” See http://rosiebrownrn.com/a-different-kind-of-homework/. Next comes body cleansing. See http://rosiebrownrn.com/next-step-body-cleansing/. Finally, the third step is the introduction of wheatgrass juice. The following information is taken from the work of Vicki Talmage, www.vickitalmage.com.

Wheatgrass is the young wheat plant that grows from a wheat sprout. Dr. Ann Wigmore first introduced wheatgrass to the world forty years ago. She was looking for a food substance that would nourish the body at the cellular level.

Wheatgrass juice is rich in chlorophyll. It also contains all the essential amino acids, enzymes, and electrolytes. It is a complete protein. Wheatgrass juice contains over ninety alkalizing minerals that are needed to maintain good metabolism.

Per Vicki, “Every electrolyte, enzyme and amino acid that the body needs is found in four ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice. This makes wheatgrass a complete protein.”

Vicki recommends beginning the use of wheatgrass juice after finishing a two-week cleanse that involves three to four colonics. “This process allows the toxins, which wheatgrass juice stimulates the body to release, to be easily removed from the body and to greatly increase the possibility of reducing any uncomfortable cleansing reactions. It is wise to make sure that the eliminative channel is open so you don’t keep those toxins in your body to recycle.”

Vicki recommends you begin by drinking just one ounce of wheatgrass juice each day for a week. Increase the dosage every week by about an ounce until you can drink 4 oz/day. It is not necessary to drink more than 4 oz each day.

“It is preferable to drink wheatgrass juice an hour before you eat. The characteristic of wheatgrass juice is to dissolve mucus inn thirty seconds then release that toxic mucus out of the body in the quickest way possible.”

“Coupled with wise eating habits and a good exercise program, the addition of 4 oz of wheatgrass juice is one of the best things that we can do for our bodies every day.”

Yesterday I wrote about the neat lady I met at last week’s Book Camp, Vicki Talmage. See http://rosiebrownrn.com/attract-adventure-to-you/. Vicki was all set to go to Med School when she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. Her diagnosis led her on a search for health and living. Thirty-two years later, she is still passionately teaching people around the world about the significance of food and colon health.

Vicki reminds us that food is fuel. Your body adapts to what you give it. Fueling the body with poor food choices leads to a weakened immune system, trauma to the colon, and a buildup of material in the small intestine.

Per Dr. Mercola, 80% of our immune function resides in the colon. With a toxic colon and a lining of sludge in the intestines preventing absorption of nutrients from our food, it is little wonder that a myriad of degenerative diseases is the end result.

Vicki inspires hope that you can turn things around, no matter your age. A few of the empowering tools she provides to increase the level of optimum health in your body and in your mind includes:

1. Learning and applying a few principles of quarterly body cleansing.
2. Eating simply and being satisfied with what you eat.
3. Addressing and resolving discontent immediately instead of procrastinating.

Vicki has demonstrated in her work that within the first month of beginning her cleansing program, many people have experienced positive results in weight loss as well as increased energy, clarity of mind, and satisfaction in their lives.

Vicki states, “Just a few simple steps to cleanse the bowel, using wheatgrass juice to rebuild the cells, and using proper food combining techniques can bring amazing benefits to your way of life, and to your attitude.”

Vicki suggests that you do a week of “homework” and have a good colonic before starting consumption of wheatgrass juice.

In the next article I will share what Vicki considers “homework.” I don’t know about you, but for me it looks like I will be going back to school…
