Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 I had this sent to me today. Alternative for wheat grass. Also interesting to do a google search on " teff " if you are not familiar with it. Kallie copied & pasted******************** Welcome to another health e-letter by Marilyn. marilynjarz@... So I convinced you that wheatgrass juice would be a very healthy addition to your diet. But you don't have a wheatgrass juicer; or a Vita-Mix; or you are not willing to grow, cut, blend, and strains all that grass. Now what? Grow Teff. It is easy with the right tool. Teff is the smallest grass in the world. And the seed is so small it will surely fall through the drainage holes in any of your sprouters. You need a different sprouting tool. Terra cotta. Get an unglazed clay saucer about 6 inches across. Soak it in water for 1/2 hour or so. Put it on a plate. Pour about 1/2 tsp teff seeds into saucer and mist with a hand sprayer. Keep water in the plate (not in the saucer) at all times. The water will wick through the terra cotta and provide enough moisture to grow your teff. If the seeds in the saucer look dry I help it along by misting them from time to time. Teff sprouts within 24 hours. It is ready for harvest in four to five days. It will be 1-2 inches tall. Green it up by putting it in indirect light for a day. HOW TO USE TEFF Here's the easy part. Scoop out the whole mass of sprouts roots and all. Put it in the blender. Add 1/2-1 cup or so liquid of choice so the blender blades turn well. Blend it to smithereens and eat as sprout soup. To make it thicker, add papaya, banana, berries in season, etc. Flavor with maple syrup, carob, coconut water; the sky's the limit. I got my teff seeds from Bob's Red Mill. At first I though the seed was expensive as shipping cost was a big part of the cost, but when I see how far the seeds will stretch, it is one of the less expensive sprouting seeds. Comments?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 found this while reading up on sprouting wheatgrass. does this occur often? tia, jim Wheatgrass and Mold By Carroll J. MacIntosh E-mail: info@... Web Site: Evergreenjuices You might find this interesting. My father is a retired minister and he started growing wheatgrass juice in Canada over 14 years ago. It started out just for ourselves but then we grew to serve many health food stores and restaurants. We also sold the juicers. There are a couple things that always bothered us about the juice and that is the reactions many people (including us) had after drinking the juice, such as nausea and headaches within seconds after drinking. We were always told that this was " detoxification " . Then we had a lady break out in hives all over her body within minutes after drinking. We were also told that this was just a strong detoxing symptom. Howvever we just couldn't buy the story anymore. Nausea and headaches and especially hives are a reaction to something, not detoxification. There is no other herb or juice concoction that makes you detox within seconds with these strong reactions. What we did trace it to is the mold that grows on the trays. Mold is highly toxic and can cause instant reactions such as headaches and nausea and even hives. The mold comes from the seeds that don't germinate, and that is why some trays are better than others. We tried using hydrogen peroxide and colidial silver and even picking out the ungerminated seeds with tweezers. We also noticed that those with candida got much worse after drinking wheatgrass juice. (Sugar and mold will set it off.) So after being indoor growers of wheatgrass juice for over seven years, we decided that we couldn't serve any more knowing that all the so called detoxing symptoms were reactions to the mold. We shut the whole thing down. > I had this sent to me today. Alternative for wheat grass.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Dear Starris, That is because the health department people haven't the brains of a cat. Chlorine byproducts are carcinogenic. That is why chlorine is being phased out as a treatment for water in the US. Ozone has GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status from FDA for food preservation and EPA approval for water disinfection. Soon chlorine will be banned. Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Dr. Ben-ph, Thanks for your reply to me with the Lugols Iodine drop solution! I believe that it has helped me. The depression has subsided almost 90%. I still get a little anxious and some anxiety but it seem to have leveled it out somehow. I feel more connected to my body and the brain fog has faded some as well. With appreciation, Annette > Use acid water from a commercial water machine.
