My first wheat grass drink

I started juicing about two weeks ago, supplementing about a meal a day with different juice receipes. Today for the first time I juiced some wheat grass. I had not read anything on it specifically, and juiced about four to six ounces, mixing it with carrot, beet, and apple juice, making a 12 oz drink.

About 30 min. later, I got a headache, got flushed, and had a heavy fatigued feeling, then I purged like never before.

15 years ago, I worked around a lot of serious chemicals for about 5 years, and in the last 15 years I've gradually become out of shape. I am almost 50, hence the correction to try and get back into shape before I suffer any serious health problems.

Did I drink too much wheat grass the first time? How much should I drink? How long will I feel this bad after drinking it? Could this overload my kidneys or liver, which are probably filled with toxins?

The yellow bile of your stomach...trys to protect your liver bladder spleem and kidneys. ....thus when the wheatgrass juice hit the bile it triggered your sysytem to extude the toxins that are abuntantly present....and as you guess have been collecting for many years. Most people purge only the first time....but radiation...barbituates...antibiotics...ect. can "collect in the bile SOME people purge more than one ocassion in the beginnning. Once is the average. Some people get sleepy and wonder where the energy stamia and focus are...others get diarrea....cleaning the downstairs area in a hurry. I always suggest a colon cleanse with the drinking of FRESH wheatgrass juice. Although wheatgrass juice will get you there....it does it over a PERIOD of time....colon cleanses are quick and efficiant....you will loose some weight anf feel better faster! Encrusted fesus is not good...toxiant! What state are you located in? People are drinkling MORE fresh wheatgrass juice these days ...if not to CURE a cronic desease....JUST TO IMPROVE THEIR.....energy, stamia and focus....get up earlier...PLUS the almost 100 minerals persona the senses of the body....giving people in the business world more positive feelings and reactions....They are noticed. Sex life improves...It is like STP for the Body! KEPP drinking it till you detox....Stay GREEN and BE Healthy!

Detoxing to quickly can be hard on the individual doing the detox.Enzyme replacement therapy is a great way to regain health and vitality.The more raw enzyme laiden foods you consume the better.Grass juice is the strongest juice for cleansing the body.Its best to go slowly a 1oz. shot or mixed on and empty stomach is plenty at first.Once you become familiar with the effects to yourself you can add more.You are on the right trak,just went to fast!What type of juicer are you using?Are you growing your own gass?

Thanks for the info, I now live in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas.

Thanks for the feedback, I am using a Omega 8005. I owned a juiceman in the past, but did not like the amount of work to clean it each time. The breakdown and cleaning of this unit is fast and easy. I really like it in comparison. On the question of growing, I have not seriously considered that yet. I purchased my first wheat grass from a local COOP called Ozark Natural Foods. They have a grower there that is very particular and dedicated to his craft. I was impressed by him, and encouraged to think about growing my own in the future. I am going to work first on getting mind and body to a better place. I think the key is green.

We sell only one juicer....and the Omega 8005 is it! Been with Omega for the past 8 years...The juicer is rated for commercial and home use. Always put in a good size "clump" of wheatgrass when you start....so that the impaction gets right into it.
