Wheatgrass allergies?

A girl that I work with took her first shot of wheatgrass this morning and supposedly had an allergic reaction to it. The left side of her face swelled up. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Are there any ingredients in the shot that would cause this? I think she got it from Jamba Juice if that helps. I think she's full of it....

Thanks!

[b]Three percent of all people on the planet are allergenic to ANY kind of grass. Or that is what I have been told.[/ Due to the increase in the use of antibiotics(kill the digestive Flora in the stomach) Allergees have risen in the population....and made the drug companies richer.B] As long as the public lets the administration advance fast food and "diet products" and hormones in the dairy and meat...Be careful....It is your body...not theirs. When there are no more trees....and no more fish that is fit to eat.....anda bottle of drinking water costs $10,000.oo!...Will the trillionaires and billionaires EAT there $1000.oo bills???? The days of the FREE lunch are long gone.

Eat well (as you may afford) Stay GREEN and BE Healthy!

I have taken 1oz wheatgrass shots a couple of times and I am TRYING to tolerate them. For whatever reason, within seconds of taking the shot, I become VERY nauxious. The time before last I was so sick to my stomach I couldn't even think about wheatgrass (or smell it) without being nauseated- a similar reaction to a food that I had had food poisoning.

Could this simply be an allergy? As a child I was said to be allergic to grass and molds, my skin would develop a rash if I had direct contact to various grasses..yes, it's weird I know

The last few times I had wheatgrass I became nauseous as well, and today I got sick from drinking some pre-packaged juices. I could figure out why but realized afterwards that both of them contained wheatgrass. I'm starting to think I can't drink it! My stomach isn't tolerating any of it at all.

When i was a child I would get hives, nose would block up immediately and I would have athsma like breathing when I would sit in grass or be near certain types of dry hay (alfalfa in particular). I haven't had any sever attacks recently but i do keep an albuterol (sp) inhaler around and use it maybe once or twice a year after running durring season changes. I just took my first shot of wheatgrass and about 10 minutes later my eyes started itching and I got home and started breaking out in hives, my nose is blocked and i'm wheezing... I'm still waiting for it to clear cause its been about an hour and I dont have any anti-hystimines around. This is just for reference but I don't have any other known allergies and am generally really healthy. Hope this helps.

I just had my first try of Wheatgrass...

Within minutes my lips swelled up, my throat was itchy and I became EXTREMELY panicked as I have had Anaphylactic shock once before which is NOT a pleasant experience.

I went straight to hospital (in Dubai) and waited to see if the reaction developed. Fortunately it didn't but I sh*t myself.

Won't be trying it again.

I'm Derek Stem with DynamicGreens wheatgrass. We have been growing wheatgrass for over 35 years and have a vast amount of experience. Here is what I can tell you about the source of these issues:

Grass allergy (affects only a very small number of people)

• People with known grass allergies should avoid wheatgrass juice
• If you have a grass allergy and take the juice, it will likely present as stomach cramping. In some cases, it may result in itchiness.

Mold Problems

• Mold is responsible for bitter taste and the side effects you often read about.
• This is a common problem in tray grown grasses and you can read more about the struggles growers have with mold in Steve Meyerowitz's book, Wheatgrass - Nature's Finest Medicine on pages 93-94, 98, 113, 115, 158-161, 163-173, 175-176, 197, 202, 210, 217.
• The challenge with mold is that while it in and of itself does not remove the health giving properties of wheatgrass, it does create tolerance issues for many and sometimes has serious side effects. The most common effect by far is that after a few tries, people raise a glass of wheatgrass juice to their lips and their body simply refuses to drink it. It is actually the inability to drink wheatgrass juice that takes away the health giving benefits.
• The side effects are caused by something called mycotoxins which are released by the molds. There are over 400 known mycotoxins and they are very unusual. This is because the reactions to mycotoxins are often specific to the individual. In other words, 2 people can drink the same juice and one may love it while the other experiences more common side effects like dizziness, headache, nausea or the less common side effects of vomiting or severe allergic reaction. You can read more about mycotoxins here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycotoxin

Mold does not need to be an issue and in our experience, here is the best approach:

• Recall that science and technology does not often trump nature.
• Simply growing outdoors is key as mother nature prevents mold issues from occuring.
• You don't just grow outdoors anywhere. It is important that your area is naturally supportive of wheat and can grow it without intervention in natural sun, air and soil. This means your location needs to feature cool nights which generally puts you into more northern areas and into traditional wheat growing country.
• This alone will stop the issues will molds and mycotoxins.

Wheatgrass grown without mold:

• Tastes good.
• Is enjoyed by the drinker.
• That enjoyment allows for long term use and enables people to experience the vibrant health benefits that we can all appreciate.

For those that are interested, you can get our wheatgrass juice at DynamicGreens.com

Printed a laboratory report on the TOPICAL MOLD that frequently occurs in tray grown wheatgrass....when the WATER is not PURE and filtered(we do that).

Topical Myceal molds ARE NOT pathenegenic(harmful)

People that HAVE to lie steal or cheat or slander tray grown Wheatgrass growers.....TRY to scheme the PUBLIC out of their hard earned money.....so that they can PROFIT!

READ the report people(it was done about 8 years ago before we changed our water treatment(Purify&filtered now) it reduced our mold potential by 99%.....

GO TO>>>>Cityfarmer.org

The fact is located just below the propoganda that TRAY grown wheatgrass makes people sick.....according to the money hungry ex?-PREACHER!

Detox from too much Antibiotics....babituates....chemicals in the food...Radiation....and cronic toxins CAUSED by desease....DETOX CAUSES the diarrea.....sleepy feelings....or PURGING the first or second time drinking GOOD FRESH WHEAGRASS,,,,Dead food such as YFROZEN...powdered or freeze dried cannot......does not have LIVE active enzines......DA!

BUT after you clean you house>>>The ENERGY STAMINA and focus from FRESH LIVE wheatgrass juice are >>>>TREMEDOUS! Aside from the cleansing ,healing and REJUVINATION.

YES about 3% of the WORLD's population are allergenic to ALL grasses....and if they know that and drink wheatgrass......are not ignorant....but STUPID!

Da!

PLEASE remember DYNAMIC>FROZEN>GREENS....if you can SLANDER FRESH WHEATGRASS.....YOU had BETTER BE ABLE TO Swallow the>>>>TRUTH!

Wheatgrass is best grown outdoors because nature develops it in a significantly different way. This wheatgrass is a far better product at the moment of harvest than anything you can grow in a tray. It has a 6x deeper root system, no mold issues, complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars and has had much more time to convert sun energy into chlorophyll.

At our farm, wheatgrass juice expressed freshly at the moment of harvest tastes delicious and is energy filled. It can be consumed "fresh" in incredibly large amounts (30 plus fl. oz.) and it does not cause diarrea, sleepy feelings or purging (vomiting). At no time does it ever cause the other types of adverse reactions found in some of these posts.

We flash freeze the juice because growing in natural seasons is critically important. The flash freezing process is utilized because we can capture the juice at the optimal time and maintain it without compromise. Keep in mind that winter wheat contains ice structuring proteins (the stuff that keeps it alive in the winter so it can spring back to life in the spring)...so the combination of flash freezing and this natural property of wheatgrass make it the perfect frozen food. When you have great stuff going in...great stuff comes out.

Molds are a big problem for grains in general. You can find out more from Doug Kaufman at knowthecause.com. While you may have control of your crop, many more do not. The kind of side effects listed here are very scary and the ones you consider normal (diarrhea, sleepiness and vomiting) are not normal in our 35 years of experience. They are however perfectly normal when one drinks wheatgrass juice made from moldy wheatgrass.

If you would like wheatgrass juice that is outdoor grown, is exceptionally clean, has an excellent chlorohphyll count, is raw and living and incredibly well tolerated...get in touch with us at DynamicGreens.

Has your information and mine about topicalMOLDS...back to back.

I PLAY with Facts....you PLAY with distortion......and the NEED to pitch your FROZEN dead wheatgrass juice on this forum so you can TRY to pay your bills and expenses.....while the world economy is terrible.

Life always begats life.

You biggest misstatement was saying I grow with artificial ingridients....Never have and never will! My 4 "secret" ingridients are on EVERY label....

Mr. Stem......get a real job!

AND STOP slandering FRESH tray grown Wheatgrass GROWERS!

I can't really respond to your posts, because I don't understand why we can't just do something here that is discussion oriented.

Here is what I do understand.

From mother nature's perspective, she only supports natural wheat growth in certain regions. In our experience, when you transplant the natural process into a hot, humid environment where wheat does not grow naturally, you have a high likelihood of mold growth. I can't say that this affects your wheatgrass juice for certain, I've never tasted it. That said, many people who have tried to grow their own in similar environments have talked about serious palatibility issues and serious tolerance issues. I believe some of the posters in this thread have consumed moldy wheatgrass and experienced allergic reactions. It is the allergic reactions that are the focus of this discussion thread and the reason I mention the molds.

Respectfully, I just don't think that you have the experience or the knowledge to talk about our wheatgrass juice. I'm always happy to work with the facts, so lets do that by looking at a link to a photo of your greenhouse.
drelichwheatgrass.com/Images/stage_rework/grass_spread_gh.jpg
This environment is very distant from natures ecosystem for wheatgrass and that would make it difficult for you to understand what true field grown wheatgrass is like.

Here is a picture from our farm for comparison purposes.
dynamicgreens.com/images/01.jpg

The wheatgrass gets full natural soil, air and sunlight. It is a remarkably different environment for the wheatgrass and is representative of natures ecosystem. All I can really tell you is that we've been thrilled with this approach. In our early years, we grew in a greenhouse because we followed Ann Wigmore's approach from "The Wheatgrass Book" to the letter. The difference for us is that we actually do live on a farm (not an apartment in Boston) and took advantage of that opportunity to grow outdoors.

We do understand both approaches, have seen and had many remarkable experiences and believe we have something unique to offer those that are geographically challenged.

I would like to just mention one other thing, we do share some common ground. We both know from our experiences that wheatgrass juice can be downright magical at times. Let's try to embrace our similarities and enhance our understanding.

As an example, I believe that you have experienced miracles because we know from our early growing that indoor grown wheatgrass juice is a powerhouse. Our enhancement message relates to being cautious about mold and creating awareness so that more people can be discriminating and enjoy it. My goal is not to take away from the power of wheatgrass.

ABOUT FRESH grown tray wheatgrass....IN different parts of The United States Of America.

There is a grower in New York that Grows well over 4,000 pounds A WEEK! (Harley Mazel).

A quick look at Atlanta Georgia and you will find A Preacher who grows at lweast 2,500 pound of FRESH wheatgrass a week for the public.

I grow far less than 200 pounds a week.

And you continue to knock my location and methods of produceing FRESH wheatgrass....10 years after I and my product has established a formidable client base.....with VERY satisfied customers.

The economy is DOWN and I would presume so are YOUR sales//////

Thus you MUST slander People who provide the REAL DEAL to many who cannot take the time to grow FRESH Wheatgrass for themselves......I can understand that FROZEN, freeze dried and POWDERED wheagrass serve their purpose in a PINCH>>>>>Just as the Micro wave oven gets food warmed or cooked FAST....but kills evry thing worht while in it.

Since you contintue to make statemnets that are OFF THE WALL about US fresh tray growing providers of wheatgrass ACROSS the United STates Of AMERICA....

And you have the gaul to do this on A fresh wheatgrass orientated website....That primerily teaches and advises how PEOPLE may grow at HOME for their personal consumption.

Like I have said before...SPEND some of YOUR MONEY and purchase some ADVERTISING on a radio...TV...Billboard >>>>SOME WHERE IN CANADA!!!!

I read Alice in Wonderland ...when I want MAKE BELIEVE>...not drink FROZEN WHEATGRASS GROWN near the north pole....EVER hear of the Wheat BELT here in the United States Of America?????????

Derek have another BEER and watch the BIRDS fly by as they POOP on YOUR WHEATGRASS....before you FREEZE the Heck out of it......BURZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

FYI>>>Canada gets plenty of Sunlight ...But it is NOT intense enough to grow WEEKLY crops....Derek please call Mother Nature at 800-555-1234....if she is busy just keep calling....leave a message and TELL HER JUST WHO YOUR WERE...and What you are NOW!

I presume you know that is a FAKE phone number....JUST like you telling us on EWHEATGRASS that your FROZEN PRODUCT IS better than FRESH.....I hope someday you see the LIGHT about telling the TRUTH.

You must be going bankrupt to contine to ADVERTISE on this WEBSITE....I will pray For you and Carol!: beach_play:

So, let's look at Harley Matsil, President of Perfect Foods, Inc. position regarding molds.

Harley does a nice job of describing their position here:
http://www.cityfarmer.org/wheatgrass.html
Please read it to ensure that nothing I say here is out of context.

He says that "the mold grown on wheatgrass is nearly impossible to completely avoid, and it is not the cause of any adverse effects". He also says that almost every wheat seed develops "blue fuzz" mold. He also says this is non-pathenogenic and does not penetrate the plant. He says that you can also have white or brown molds which are harmful but that they have not seen these molds in many, many years.

Harley also goes on to state that they are very experienced, thorough and that "detox effects" subside over a short period of time and that after a few days the discomfort will be replaced with a feeling of well being. He also goes on to say that indoor grown wheatgrass is better because "indoor grown wheatgrass is in a highly controlled and monitored environment, outdoor grown wheatgrass is subject to nature and the elements".

Our position is that when growing outdoors:

- the plant benefits from natural exposure
- one benefit is that you never see mold, never blue fuzz mold, never white mold, never brown mold
- a first time drinker can get a sense of well being immediately
- drinking the juice for the first or four-hundred time, even in large amounts does not cause adverse reactions

These are opinions and people need to choose which opinion resonates best with them. Our opinion is that:

Outdoor growth --> clean wheatgrass --> good taste & tolerability --> benefits and long term use potential

The approach that you use is called a flanking strategy. Specifically, it means that every time your position is in jeopardy, you attempt to change the rules by attacking from a different angle.

The problem that you have is that most of your arguments are manufactured and all of your arguments have been made on shaky ground. Regardless of how hostile your posts get, you still can't make the mold go away can you.

Your attitude and behavior really do a disservice to anyone genuinely interested in wheatgrass juice. I can only hope that people looking for good information can navigate around your posts and get to the real information that we have provided.

This is my last post on this thread as there is simply no reason to reiterate the same things over and over again.

For the record:

My name is Derek Stem
The company is DynamicGreens Wheatgrass
We believe in the power of raw foods and wheatgrass juice

We wish health and happiness to everyone.

and SWEAT....


THIS is a website deicated to helping the average person who WANTS TO GROW FRESH WHEATGRASS.......not drink you PROCESSED FROZEN supplimental beverage!!!

I have hundreds of posting along with many other members exchangeing methods to help control....or eliminate the mold.

You would HAVE to be a total MORON to continue to USE the website to ADVERTISE here......

You are like the RABBI eating a Pork sandwich on a corner somewhere.....STAY IN CANADA...where YOU think the Wheat BELT is.....you are SO DUMB...that is a step beyond being STUPID>....I feel lucky to be ignorant...because that occurs in everyone normally.

Eat FRESH and Stay GREEN and BE HEALTHY!

ps.Mr Stem..do you also sell FREEZERS...?

So, if you have posted hundreds of messages telling people how to eliminate mold, does that not mean that hundreds of people have problems with mold?

If the mold is not a problem and does not affect the taste and tolerability (which we say it does), why would anyone need to control it?

Why would you so forcefully object to the simple truth that mold does not grow outdoors in natural conditions? Is that not a good thing for hundreds of people?

Please tell me, how much mold should grow on your wheatgrass before someone becomes concerned about it?

If you need a baseline measure of what good clean wheatgrass juice tastes like, you can get some from us and then grow your own and compare. You will definitely benefit from this knowledge.

You DEREK repeat and repeat you position that FROZEN...supplimental PROCESSED by you and your family WHEAGRASS JUICE is superlative to FRESH...

SELLING on a FRESH Wheatgrass forum and repeating your untruth is ludicrious.

If I take up a fund...a collection will you travel over to Martha Stuarts website...oh thatr's right Her and President Clinton drank FRESH wheatgrass juice on her TV show///LAST.....just go somewhere....before they reposess your processing machinery!
