Dr. Howard Lutz, who is
director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine in
Washington, D.C., has said this about barley grass:
"(Barley grass is) one of the most incredible products
of this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity
of thought, and reduces addiction to things that are bad for
you. It also improves the texture of the skin, and heals the
dryness associated with aging. It is extremely detoxifying
and makes some people nauseous every time they drink it.
These people may find that they can tolerate barley grass
juice. Personally I
started by drinking only a 1/4 of a teaspoon in apple
juice. Now I drink a full tablespoon in
water. I find that when I have not had my power
drink in the morning, my energy level is lower.
Full of Nutrients, what
more is there to say. Full of Vitamin B1, Vitamin C,
Iron, Fiber, Calcium, Vitamin K, Vitamin B12,
Superoxide dismuatse (SOD), and Chlorophyll.
Barley Grass is commonly called a super food.
It has one of the highest natural levels of enzyme SOD (superoxide
dismutase), which is a powerful antioxidant that protects
the cells against toxic free radicals.
