Can wheatgrass cure cancer?

I've seen conflicting reports on this. Wigmore is "iffy" about this -- maybe she was afraid to make claims lest the FDA come down on her.

I guess the only thing we have to rely on is firsthand reports. Heard of any?

Dr. Lorraine Day said she cured herself of cancer using barleygrass, lots of carrot juice, and a largely raw diet. She says that barleygrass pills are very good. Personally, I can't see how dried barleygrass juice could be better than fresh juice. And wouldn't wheatgrass juice be better than barleygrass juice?

The Budwig diet looks interesting -- cottage cheese and flaxseed oil, mixed together in such a manner that the omega 3 oils in the flaxseed become water soluable. It sounds loopy, but Budwig was a noted chemist, and was nominated for 6 Nobel Prizes, so she wasn't stupid. She claimed a 90% cure rate if her diet was closely followed. I see no conflict between this diet and also consuming large quantities of wheatgrass and other vegetable juices. Some will claim that any dairy is bad, but Budwig said that cottage cheese was the absolute best substance to mix with the flaxseed oil for a number of scientific reasons. Of course, the juices should be taken at different times from the cottage cheese / oil mixture. However, Wigmore was adamantly opposed to any dairy.

Cancertutor.com says that wheatgrass contains a substance called Abscisic acid that strips away tumors' protective layers that prevent the body from destroying them. The site says that this substance is actually 40 times stronger in the wheatgrass juice 4 hours after it has been juiced, but it is unclear how this wait negatively affects other components of the wheatgrass juice. So the site recommends consuming half the juice immediately and half in 4 hours.

Interesting...

First although the FDA pulls off the market MANY of the perscription and NON perscription medications they APPROVE each year for the public to take. Enough.

I have "Heard" that if you have a cronic problem.....and it has not gone TOO far into destrying your mind, body and spirit. Drinking 16 ounces of FRESH wheatgrass juice a DAY....for at least 4 months. Will then give you an idea IF you have gained the results the person is looking for....say after being treated for a long time with the remedies. And then SENT home to die. I have seen people go to Europe...Mexico...South America.....All looking for the "Cure". A persons Metabolics...Genetics and the DEGREE the cronic problem has gone decides the results at any given time for any one.

Diplomatic opinion.....everyone has one.

Hello jim mc if you want the livingfoods protocols checkout chi.com.This is what anne wigmore taught at her healing retreats.Notice the word heal not cure,there are no cures!There are many pathways to healing finding the right path is the true issue.Barley grass has been studied by dr. yoshihide hagiwara.the hagiwara inst. of health in japan is where the study has taken place.the focus of the inst. is barley not wheatgrass.hagiwara found barley to be the most nutritious land based plant.With that being said there is a product called e3live it is a nasty tasting algae juice.it is said to be 5 times more potent than wheatgrass.It is a living food that is shipped on dry ice to your door.Its very expensive but comes with a money back refund if not satisfied.Im not familiar with the budwig diet protocals,but flax oil goes rancid easily.And dairy is not fit for human consumption,unless its organic and raw!There is a web site called rawfoodadvantage.com you may find it of interest.

Check out he Hippocates Institue in West Palm, Florida(been there about 35 years or so).....and then look at the Optimum Health Institue in San Diago, California.

I agree that Barley Geen juice is VERY benificial....but awful tasting compared to FRESH wheatgrass juice....and wheatgrass does not taste like chocolate,vanilla or starwberry either.

Most of the holistic homeopathic and alternative medicine centers in this country endorse or serve FRESH wheatgrass juice in conjunction with their treatments. After growing for the public now 9 years.....(and I do not do testamonials) But I have seen the miricles atained from drinking the wheatgrass(it is a drill)....like taking antibiotics from the doctor for 10 days.....and having many side effects....Wheatgrass de-toxifies the body...and is 100% non toxic itself.

Eating well and having a great attitude are also some of the ingridients to restoring a cronic problem back to "normal".

ANY procuct that is handled by man and is FREEZE DRIED....or...FROZEN is considered Dead Food.

FIVE times more potent than FRESH wheatgrass....I think not. Live active enzimes are DESTROYED by Heat...or EXTREME cold.

ps. and that goes for all powdered concoctions also....MY opinion.

Well I checked the website for the product. It comes FROZEN...NOT FRESH and live.

More smoke and mirrors......Say I wonder if YOU have any Supernatually PH Balanced Water..(someone sent me a bottle of that a few years ago)...or perhaps the soy malt drink(expensive also) The company stated that you may sweeten it with...Honey, stevia...and get this...ARTIFICIAL sweetners. Yes that went into the pail also.
I get dozens of OFFERS to make money on buy one get one free ..cases and cases of supplimental products....each month. Pay $29.95 and profit $225.oo after you have SOLD the last bottle. I buy a good colon cleanse product with Turkey Rubarb in it....and PURE RAW coconut oil. And in a GLASS bottle some German Mineral water on occasion. But buying someting processed by man...then frozen....sorry you are streching my imagination.

Do you work for Walgreen's?

Wheatgrass AND Barley green ...VERY good. To ME using e3live would like me buying a Pet Rock.

STILL just my opinion....EVERYONE has one!

To a
customer of mine who CURED himself of Prostrate cancer over 2 years ago.....

Drinking 16 ounces a day of FRESH wheatgrass juice and changeing his diet(no dariy or meat for 4 months.......

Every 6 months he gets a check up by a M.D....

Dear, Mr. K,
It was a pleasure seeing you recently. YUour PSA returned with a value of 5.7 which ia a very stable value for you.(Dwight is 63 years old and smokes a cigarette now and then). It SHOWS a good response to the HERBAL medications.
I am pleased to give youthis good report and look forward to seeing you again in six months as scheduled.

James A. W....., M.D.
Urology

ps...The original doctor who moved ....Told Dwight to come in the next day after finding the cancer....and have an operation.

The possible "side effects" led Dwight to belive there MIGHT be a better way.

Remember finding a cronic problem in the EARLY stages IS very IMPORTANT.....
wether you go with the "modern medical" people ....or take a homeopathic- holistic or alternative medicine solution. Pay attention to any changes in you body.

Being CAREFUL to select a doctor of any kind....IS IMPORTANT.

I prefer the ones that are not paying back a $500,000.oo school bill.

And supporting drug stores that open up in this country on the average of ONE>>>>every 19 mintues.....Remedies....not cures.

Eat fresh and STAY green and BE healthy!

I've read stories about it being able to cure cancer but there's no way to tell if they're true or not. I'm sure it couldn't hurt to try, I'd recommend it for anyone who was facing cancer.

Wheatgrass and Cancer: A Short Essay

Wheatgrass is generally perceived to be a nutritional supplement. True, it is loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and numerous other vital elements. It is widely taken as a health drink – green, nourishing and good for you. Many enjoy the taste, while others feel a pleasant “rush” immediately after ingesting the fresh juice. For those who can tolerate the taste and the smell (many cannot), just one daily shot will do them the world of good. But is it because of the nutritional value of wheatgrass, or the chlorophyll it contains? Most likely neither.

Wheatgrass can, in certain conditions, be an effective healing agent – both for the body as a whole, and when applied to the skin. This is nothing new. History tells us that the grasses in general have been known to have healing properties going back several thousand years. Ann Wigmore in the 70’s reportedly cured many with terminal cancer and other chronic illnesses using freshly juiced wheatgrass.

In the US in the 1930’s, this simple herb enjoyed a massive resurgence of interest and became widely used as a health supplement. Scientists also demonstrated its therapeutic value in post-operative wound healing, the treatment of burns and numerous other conditions. Frequently these therapeutic properties were put down to the effects of chlorophyll.

The Grass Juice Factor

In the late 1930’s, an agricultural scientist, Dr. George Kohler and his colleagues discovered there was something quite unexplainable about the cereal grasses. They had been comprehensively analysed and many of the components attributed with physiological properties. For example, vitamin K which is essential for blood clotting and protein synthesis in plasma, kidneys and bone.

But, Kohler and his team discovered something more important – something they could not explain. They found that cereal grasses greatly enhanced fertility, growth and the general health of laboratory animals. This could not be explained by any of the known bioactive substances in the grass, and, although they were able to determine some of its physical properties, to this day it remains unidentified. They called it the “Grass Juice Factor” (GJF).»»More

This Factor is known to exist not only in cereal grasses – wheat, rye, oats, barley etc., - but in green peas, cabbage and many other plants. However, the highest concentrations (determined by observing growth and fertility rates in laboratory animals) were discovered in the cereal grasses. It is the GJF that I believe accounts for the quite amazing, broad-spectrum healing properties of wheatgrass including some anti-cancer effects.

How Could Wheatgrass Work for Cancer?

It is known that at least one of the cereal grasses, barley, stimulates the production of growth hormone from the rat pituitary gland in the brain. There is a possibility that humans respond in the same way. (A hormone is a chemical substance produced in the body that regulates the activity of cells or organs.)

Growth hormone in turn stimulates the production of Growth Factors e.g. Insulin Growth Factor-1. These are also hormones which affect the development of every cell in the body. Responsible for growth in children, they also lead to regeneration of damaged tissues and organs throughout life. Research shows that cereal grasses can heal wounds and burns, stimulate production of blood elements, and kill some cancer cells, at least in the test tube. It is possible these phenomena are mediated via growth factor activation.

Above all, Growth Factors control, stimulate and maintain the body’s immunological status.

There is no doubt that the immune system is of paramount importance in preventing the development of cancer and ridding the body of cancer cells. In other words, if the immune system is strong and robust, it is less likely that one will develop cancer, or the onset of cancer can be delayed. (See National Insitute of Health study below under "Prevention").

This does not mean that wheatgrass cures cancer, although there have been many reports of successful "cures" in individuals taking wheatgrass and other cereal grasses.

Wheatgrass in Cancer Prevention and Treatment

What follows is a very brief summary of some of the numerous medical studies into the anti-cancer effects of the cereal grasses.

Prevention

In 2001, the National Institute of Health in the United States funded a large double blind trial of 180 individuals in Quidong, China. (Egner. A. et. al.) This province has the highest incidence of liver cancer in the world that is most often caused by an aflatoxin, a type of fungus. Using modern assay techniques, researchers were able to demonstrate a doubling of the induction period (the time taken for the cancer to develop) from twenty to forty years in participants who took a daily dose of freshly juiced wheatgrass. Astonishing results indeed, but the medical community remains silent.

Mutation Inhibition

Benzo (a) pyrene is a highly carcinogenic substance. In one study (Peryt. B. et al. 1992) wheatgrass extract significantly reduced the production of benzo-pyrene metabolites in rats. In other words, cell mutation was reduced causing a reduction in the likelihood of cancer developing. So wheatgrass appears to be a natural cancer prophylactic.

In 1978 (Chiu-Nan-Lai et.al.) showed strong inhibition of carcinogenic substances “at a reasonably low level of (wheat sprout) extract which is non-toxic even at high levels while most known inhibitors are toxic at medium to high levels.” Unsprouted, soaked wheat seed did not demonstrate any inhibitory activity.

In 2005, a rye extract was shown to strongly inhibit growth by 55 to 89 percent in five different cancer cell lines using as little as 0.1 to 1 percent. These results, even though determined in a laboratory, are truly amazing.

Prostate Cancer

Dr. M. Badamchian of the George Washington University Medical Centre showed that barley grass extract directly inhibited growth of three different human prostate cancer cells. The extract also killed human breast and melanoma cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Human prostate and melanoma cancers were later grafted on to mice that grew into tumours. These were “significantly reduced” by the barley extract.

Chemotherapy

This is one area where I have had exposure to a considerable number of patients and users of wheatgrass. Most undergoing chemotherapy have done well during and after treatment, have not required hospital admission, and side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and mouth ulcers were uncommon. If the evidence suggesting bone marrow stimulation is correct, one might also expect a lesser degree of bone marrow suppression by the cytotoxic or cell killing drugs that are employed in chemotherapy.
