i have been 'on' this wheatgrass group for years. i started eating
'raw'.............. fruits, salads, sprouts, juices, etc., almost 40 years ago.
although i have drunk over 8 ounces of raw fresh wheatgrass juice at a sitting,
and implanted over 4 ounces of raw wheatgrass juice in my rear after a colonic,
(and held it 'in' for over 1/2 hour); again, a few notes i 'learned'.
due to the taste of normal raw wheatgrass juice, and its overall, (to me),
somewhat unpleasant sensation, i have not had any wheatgrass juice for a year,
and had not been having hardly any wheatgrass juice for years. however, i
still follow the 'raw' path; and have continued drinking raw fresh carrot juice,
with maybe some 'greens': esp.. spinach juice, almost every day for the entire
40 years!! why? carrot TASTES great, (to me); esp. with that sweet sugar
taste, (and 'sugar' fix). yes, sad to say. that although white sugar is
'poison'; even the 'good' sugar (esp. fruit juice sugar), when over consumed is
'bad' also. that's why most long term juice drinkers, drink only vegetable
juices; and don't drink raw fresh fruit juices, as there is too much sugar in
(raw fresh), fruit juices. Too much of anything can be 'bad', (in this
case: unhealthy).
however, when i was young and sick, and coming off of meat, fish, junk food,
etc.; then my body was less sensitive to the (healing) sledge hammer effect of
wheatgrass. so, when you're young and sick and detoxing, wheatgrass can save
your life, and heal you, and give you raw strength................. but, many
may 'maintain' (their 'raw' diet), with the vegetable juices; the more 'greens'
the better: spinach, dandelion, wheatgrass powder, barley grass (powder),
spirolena, blue green algae, chlorella, etc............
of course, parasites love all this raw stuff, esp.. algae's, so go get
rid of the parasites: herbs: wormwood, cloves, black walnut, 'zappers', olive
oil kidney stone 'flush', etc.
good luck,

Editors Note: You might want to try fresh barley juice.
Many people find that they can drink it after many years and
don't get that aversion to it like they do wheatgrass juice.

The body odour thing refers to the armpits & being in work boots all day
everyday, there's the foot odour as well.
I had a long break from the wheatgrass juicing in the morning & the body
odour x 2 came back, so I started juicing carrot instead of wheatgrass
because the detox from carrot is not as "heavy"
When it felt right to me, I then started juicing wheatgrass at 1 oz per day
with a little water that was 2 to 1 ratio.
My diet was changed to add more raw foods for lunch, mostly salads & I went
to eat semi vegetarian foods, Ayurveda curries.
I cant remember exactly when the body odour vacated, but I became aware one
time in the morning that my sheets on the bed smelled as if they were just
taken from the washing machine, I used to change them every 3rd day, now
this can be done weekly or more. I then noticed the arm pits odour was gone
& best of all the work sox.
I've read many things online about deodorants, if you cant eat them, don't
wear them.... B.O is the bodies way to tell you that the digestive track is
not as efficient as it is meant to be.
So I think to be fair, I now think that it was definitely around 2-3 weeks
of daily shots of wheatgrass to have the B.O removed, including a diet
change & balance the food with proper food combining rules.
Bowel movement is the most important thing during a detox, meaning , if you
eat 3 times a day, you should be sitting on the throne 3 times a day, if
this is not happening, your food combining is out.

Thank you for the warm welcome!!!!

I am experiencing a heighten sense of awareness even though I am
sleeping a lot less. I use to sleep for about seven hours and rarely had
a clear head upon first waking.

My thoughts are clear but the aches and myriad of pains/detox symptoms
commence shortly thereafter. When I woke up this morning I felt
fantastic, but after a couple of hours and 2 ounces of wheatgrass later
my headache returned. I slept a little and felt somewhat better.

You are probably correct about my fluid/water intake. I have been
drinking very little water. I will make a point to consume more water
throughout the day and see if my headache subsides. As far as my intake
of wheatgrass is concerned, going from 1 ounce to 3 in less than a week,
I am going to continue the same dosage but wait more time in between
servings.

You mentioned " . . .the unpleasant body odor leaving . . ." what
exactly did you mean by this? Are you referring to typical b.o. (armpits
and such, I do not mean to be rude) or more? The reason I am asking is
because I use a crystal deodorant and noticed during the last week it
seems less effective.

Thanks so much for your help!!
