Introduction
Since 1995, I have used a wheatgrass extract to successfully accelerate healing of a remarkably broad spectrum of medical conditions and many injuries - often after standard treatments had failed. For example, this short list of medical conditions not only recovered rapidly, but no adverse side effects occurred.
But how could that be possible? Well, to me, the extract, known to contain at least 20 ligands appear to have reconnected appropriate dysfunctional peripheral cellular receptors to the brain which has then responded appropriately - and often instantaneously.
For example, it works well for many conditions for which no restorative medical treatments exist, such as venous leg ulcers, second-degree burns, and leprosy ulcers.
For instance, in Figure 1, the extract has relieved the pain caused by a minor second-degree burn and hastened its healing. Also, the blister has remained intact, (i.e. it hasn't burst), which has prevented wound infection. Compare this minor burn with the severe radiation burns in Figure 2, which have both healed rapidly, and pain relieved
Also, in Figure 2, the patient has suffered severe, deep radiation burns that would normally take several weeks or even months to completely heal. Instead, ligands in the wheatgrass extract appear to have re-connected damaged, dysfunctional cellular receptors to the patient's brain, 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 in just two weeks after the injury. (View case.)
How does the extract work?
It appears that at least 20 different ligands present in the extract have assisted re-connection of dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain (for example, as seen in Fig. 2.) Also, in the short list of "recovered" conditions below, reactivation of numerous dysfunctional cellular receptors appears to have occurred.

How wheatgrass extract appears to work
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, enabling them to reconnect to the brain.
Ligands are molecules that activate cellular-receptor DNA to release neurotransmitters to send sensory messages such as pain, pressure, taste, vision, touch etc., to the brain.
For instance, in Figure 4, "disabled" connections to the brain from skin, lungs, intestines, liver, heart etc. could cause widespread dysfunction of many, probably all, body organs.
Famous scientist proves that ligands in wheatgrass extract 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 to see my therapeutical wheatgrass extract remarkably induce production of fetal hemoglobin in murine mice - apparently by influencing gene expression by cellular receptors signalling the brain. (Like an “on/off switch”.) When carefully observed, positive changes to numerous biological processes can be seen to "normalise" dysfunctional tissues. (See Figure 3. Wheatgrass inductions of clones.)
Panos was pleased to inform 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.")
He continued, "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.”
The Professor in time was proven to be perfectly correct about the therapeutic possibilities of the extract (many cases of which can be seen on this website). He also strongly supported my own theory that wheatgrass extract heals by reactivating dysfunctional cellular receptors throughout the body. (See Fig. 5 below.)
Panos, only aged 54, tragically succumbed to cancer on 18 April, 2005, but he left us with his discovery of the extraordinary biological functions created by wheatgrass extract that have restored a remarkably broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries. (See, my common and rare conditions and injuries that respond positively to wheatgrass extract.)
Strangely, Panos' scientific colleagues ignored his "discovery", claiming that ethanol was the "magical" cause of recovery - when, in my clinic, it was obvious that the extract was making extraordinray recoveries of a large spectrum of medical conditions and injuries. Later, I would discover that it was most likely ligands in the extract were reconnecting dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain - hence the numerous, often instantaneous recoveries of skin conditions, wounds, and numerous other physiological dysfunctions - when standard treatments had failed.
How does wheatgrass extract ease pain and heal so 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, possibly by 'normalising' the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. (HPA).
More examples of wheatgrass extract healing
Effective closure of leprosy ulcers has defied "modern medicine" for many years. For example, all attempts at treating this patient's 8-year-old leprous ulcer, (Fig. 6.) had failed completely. My wheatgrass extract then healed the patient's wound in five months. (View more cases.)
Next, in this psoriatic case (Fig. 8.) we see a different, but interesting 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, but also it's ability to re-connect to the brain. Then, after 2 months' treatment (twice monthly) with the wheatgrass extract, the lesions have darkened significantly, and enlarged. However, this is not because the patient's skin has worsened. Instead, 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 insufficient and slowing healing. It appears the brain has then responded by restoring normal blood supply to affected areas, thereby causing the "darkened" spots.
On the right, it appears that the blood circulation to his dorsal skin has increased significantly, hence the darkening of the lesions. So, instead of this being a negative sign, we're actually seeing effective recovery.
In my many years' experience of using the wheatgrass extract therapeutically, for instance, healing topical steroid skin damage, (and many other conditions) treatment should be directed to re-connecting dysfunctional cellular receptors that have been destroyed or damaged by topical steroids, to the brain. This may take several months, but eventually the skin recovers.
Remember, when using wheatgrass extract, "less is best"
Using wheatgrass extract sparingly is best when treating all medical conditions and injuries - internally and externally. For example, in Figure 7, a supposedly "incurable" spider bite wound that defied all treatment for nine years, has healed completely, three months after commencement of wheatgrass extract treatment.
Also, the young woman in Figure 9 had suffered from psoriasis for three years, but topical steroids failed her. But, once wheatgrass extract was applied 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.
Last, but not least, most drug treatments for psoriasis (and eczema) such as topical steroids, should, in my view, be avoided. Although they may reduce inflammation, they do nothing to restore the skin's damaged structure and multiple functions. In fact, they 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
