Introduction
Ever since 1995, I have used a particular type of wheatgrass extract to accelerate the healing of a broad spectrum of medical conditions and injuries - often when standard treatments had failed, (view examples), - that are completely devoid of adverse side effects.
Impossible? Not really - because the extract, containing at least 20 ligands, appears to rapidly reconnect dysfunctional peripheral cellular receptors to the brain - which then responds accordingly - often instantaneously.
Wounds also heal much faster, and pain is eliminated or reduced, often after standard medical treatments have failed. For example, venous leg ulcers, second-degree burns, and leprosy ulcers.
In Figure 1, the extract has almost instantaneously relieved the patient's pain from a minor second-degree burn, and has hastened its healing. Also, the blister, which hasn't burst, helps prevent wound infection. Comparison of the minor burn with the severe radiation burns shown in Figure 2, shows both injuries have clearly healed rapidly, and were reported pain-free.
Also, in Figure 2, the patient has suffered severe, deep radiation burns that would normally take several weeks or even months to heal completely. Apparently however, ligands in the wheatgrass extract have re-connected damaged, dysfunctional cellular receptors to the patient's brain thereby enabling it to respond by restoring his severely damaged skin. Note also the absence of inflammation in the picture on the right (the patient is also pain-free), and the recovery of the burn wounds, just two weeks after the injury. (View case.)
How does wheatgrass extract work?
It appears that 20 ligands that are known to exist in the extract assist re-connection of dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain (e.g. in Fig. 2.) Also, in the short list following of "Recovered" conditions, remarkable recoveries of ten separate physical injuries have been shown.

How wheatgrass extract appears to accelerate healing
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents most drugs (other than very small molecules) from directly influencing the brain. However, ligands present in wheatgrass extract appear to reactivate dysfunctional cellular receptors, which enables them to reconnect to the brain.
Ligands are molecules that activate cellular-receptor DNA to release neurotransmitters that send sensory messages such as pain, pressure, taste, vision, touch etc., to the brain. For instance, in Figure 4, "dysfunctional" connections to the brain from skin, lungs, intestines, liver, heart etc. could lead to broad dysfunctions of many, or possibly all body organs. But, by simply applying ligand-rich wheatgrass extract over disaffected skin area(s), or by taking the extract orally, many of these dysfunctional areas can be rapidly restored as proven by numerous observations.
Famous scientist proves ligands in wheatgrass extract strongly influence gene expression
On 28th July, 2004, the late Professor Panayiotus (Panos) Ioannou, a famous scientist working at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, was stunned when he discovered that my therapeutical wheatgrass extract rapidly induced production of fetal hemoglobin in laboratory mice - apparently by influencing gene expression of cellular receptors signalling the brain. (Like an “on/off switch”.) He also observed positive changes to numerous biological processes that help "normalise" dysfunctional or damaged tissues. (See Figure 3. Wheatgrass inductions of clones.)
He also informed me that: “Our measurements suggest a 3-5 fold increase in the production of fetal hemoglobin by the wheatgrass extract. This is a substantial increase and could certainly provide an explanation why some thalassaemic patients may derive significant benefit from it.”
"These results," he continued, "albeit in vitro, have increased the possibility that the beneficial effects of freshly juiced wheatgrass noted by Marwaha, et al. [an Indian hematologist], may be due to the induction of gamma-globin chain synthesis, leading to greater fetal hemoglobin content in the red cell (In other words, IT INFLUENCES GENE EXPRESSION.")
"This hypothesis needs further study, because it holds the promise of some very exciting and simple therapeutic possibilities that may preclude the need for repeated blood transfusions.”
Later, the Professor would be proven to be correct about the extract's broad spectrum therapeutic properties, (many examples of which are presented on this website). He also supported my own theory that ligands in wheatgrass extract appear to heal by reactivating dysfunctional cellular receptors throughout the body. (See Fig. 5. Induction of clones.)
I was deeply saddened when Panos, only 54 years old, tragically succumbed to cancer (on 18 April, 2005). Fortunately, he left with us his remarkable discovery that wheatgrass extract appeared to assist recovery of numerous illnesses and injuries, many cases of which can be seen on this site. (See: Numerous conditions and injuries responding positively to wheatgrass extract.)
After he left us, Panos' scientific colleagues chose to ignore his "discovery", suggesting instead that ethanol used in the extract was the "actual" cause of positive results!
Fortunately however, having used the extract with remarkable success for many patients over 30 years, I had no doubt the extract healed a very broad spectrum of medical conditions and injuries, many of which no effective treatments were available e.g. molluscum contagiosum, acute burns etc. (I would soon realise it was very likely the ligands present in the extract were reconnecting dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain - hence the numerous, often instantaneous recoveries of a large variety of skin conditions, wounds, and internal disorders - many of which are recorded on this website, often when many standard treatments had failed.
But how does wheatgrass extract ease pain and heal many medical conditions and injuries?
In Figure 5, we see how cell receptors signal pain from a pin prick in the skin to the brain via the neurotransmitter, Substance P. The "victim" instantly withdraws his/her hand, but if wheatgrass extract is applied to the painful area, pain eases quickly because of the negative effect of Substance P preventing it from reaching the brain.
Note: Many "infertile" women have conceived after taking a small dose of wheatgrass extract daily, likely by 'normalising' the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. (HPA).
More examples of wheatgrass extract healing
Effective healing of leprosy ulcers has defied "modern medicine" for centuries. For instance, numerous attempts have been made to heal this patient's leprous ulcer, for 8 years, but failed. (Fig. 6.) However, after wheatgrass extract was applied regularly to the area, the wound healed in five months. (View more cases.)
Also, in this psoriatic case (Fig. 8.), we see a different response to the wheatgrass extract.
The patient's lesions have resisted many types of skin treatments, including 15 years of topical steroids that have severely thinned and damaged the skin's protective properties, and also it's ability to re-connect to the brain. However, after 2 months' treatment (twice monthly) with the wheatgrass extract, the lesions have darkened significantly, and enlarged. This is not because the patient's skin has worsened, but the wheatgrass extract has "re-activated" cellular receptors around the affected areas, "notifying" the brain (via cellular receptors) that blood supply to the area is required - and it has responded. Also, the darkened, enlarged spots on the right are likely caused by restoration of normal blood supply to the affected areas, suggesting that the brain is working to eliminate the numerous "lesions. Had treatment continued, the lesions would likely have disappeared.
Another example of wheatgrass extract's therapeutic ability is in healing topical steroid skin damage by restoring dysfunctional cellular receptors that have been destroyed or damaged by topical steroids, to the brain. This may take several months, but perseverance can assist significantly. It is also important to use the extract sparingly. A little goes a long way. For example, in Figure 7, where a supposedly "incurable" spider bite wound defied all treatments for nine years, healing is completed in three months.
Also, the young woman in Figure 9 has suffered from psoriasis for three years, where topical steroids have severely aggravated her condition. (Some of these drugs can be very destructive.) However, once wheatgrass extract treatment began (once weekly), her skin recovered completely in four months. Compared with the patient in Figure 8, the remarkable response of this teenage girl's skin to wheatgrass extract is remarkable.
Generally, most drug treatments for psoriasis (and eczema) such as topical steroids should be avoided. They may reduce inflammation to some extent, but do nothing to restore the skin's damaged structure and numerous essential functions. They in fact do more damage and expose the skin to infection.
Wheatgrass extract removes psoriatic plaques, restoring skin almost to normal in 2 weeks
Just two weeks after wheatgrass extract was applied to the affected area, (Fig. 13.) there has been remarkable recovery of the patient's skin after two applications. The large areas of thick plaque have almost disappeared, revealing normal skin underneath. This suggests there has been a rapid "re-connection" (re-coupling) between the psoriatically damaged skin area and the brain which has then responded to help restore the patient's skin to normal. Also, in this case, the patient is young, which could also help expedite the healing process.
This case also suggests that psoriasis might develop due to dysfunction of cell receptors near the skin surface. This concept may also be the cause of other conditions such as skin disorders, hemorrhage, pain, itch etc. that often respond well to wheatgrass extract
