Below I will provide you with a short history of Wheatgrass and why people have now decided to start drinking its juice.

At the start of the 1900's a man called Edmund Bordeaux Szekely found an ancient biblical manuscript and which he then translated. What was so remarkable about this discovery was that when he had translated the document, Szekely decided to form a society called the Biogenic Society which would teach other people this new/old way of eating. Firstly he would publish what he had translated on the document in to little books and sold very cheaply as he wanted the world to know what he had found. The book was called 'The Essene Gospel of Peace'. The Essenes were an extremely righteous group who lived close to the Dead Sea at about the time of Jesus Christ. In fact it was Christ that actually taught them all about the laws of health during this time. The main thing that the Essene Book I teaches you is you do not kill your food by cooking it, whilst in Book IV they teach you that all grasses are good for man and wheatgrass is the most perfect food. You can actually purchase these little books at any health food store.

However, by the 1940's Charles Kettering (formally chairman of the board of General Motors) had donated some money into studying chlorophyll. Chlorophyll was then studied intensively by medical doctors and you will find that there are currently over 40 articles that have now been written on the healing properties of chlorophyll in medical journals. The doctors carrying out the research found that chlorophyll was in fact a great healer and carried on using it for some time. However, because of the pressure being placed on many doctors by drug companies the use of chlorophyll was phased out.

However at another time during the 1940's a lady called Ann Wigmore found that she had healed herself of cancer using certain weeds she found in a vacant lot close to her home in Boston. With the assistance of a friend called Dr Earp Thomas she began studying the natural healing qualities of the weeds she had been using. What she and Dr Thomas found was that there are 4,700 varieties of grass around the world and all of which are good for humans to consume. After carrying out some tests with the help of pets she found that Wheatgrass was the best medicinal grass. She then set up the Ann Wigmore Institute in Boston and people from across the world have now been taught about grasses and the living food healing program. A number of people who have attended this institute have found that the serious disease they attended with has cleared. If you search more closely you will find that Ann Wigmore has written over 35 books on the subject of wheatgrass and living foods.

However, in 2000 many more people were finding out about the benefits of liquid chlorophyll and since the 1940's more research has been carried out not only on wheatgrass but also on barley grass and its healing properties.

Yoshihide Hagiwara who is the owner of a large pharmaceutical company in Japan has carried out extensive research into the healing properties of barley grass, all because he became seriously ill due to him working closely with synthetic drugs. His conclusion was that if synthetic drugs could make you ill, how could they make you well as well. He first of all began to study Chinese medicine and discovered that the father of Chinese medicine had said 'It is the diet which maintains true health and becomes the best drug'.

In fact if you look at the father of Western Medicine, Hippocrates he says basically the same thing. The basic teachings of Hippocrates is that the body can act as its own physician when provided with the right equipment i.e., living organic nourishment and as long as it is used the way nature intended (uncooked, unprocessed) all should be well.

Therefore it seems that God in fact designed all the foods on earth to be used in such a way as not only would they nourish the human body, but would also keep it in top physical condition and health. Our problem seems to be that we have forgotten these simple little rules.
