Beginning in the 1970s, the Hippocrates Health Institute of Boston, created by Ann Wigmore, nourished terminally ill patients back to health with fresh squeezed wheatgrass juice. It was the seminol work of Ann Wigmore that led Dave Sandoval, CEO of Pure Planet, to dedicate his life to continuing in her footsteps to bring green food nutrition to the world. Dave also said, "It's amazing synergistic for the body. Green foods are the closest things to a panacea that the human body has ever seen because they regulate and normalize so many vital functions. We are a tremendously powerful healing mechanism, but we have suppressed our healing ability by the types of food we typically eat. We support the healing activities of the body when we give it foods like wheatgrass. Seventy seven percent of the people who are allergic to wheat aren't allergic to kamut. There are far fewer allergic reactions to kamut, so we chose kamut as the ultimate wheat by which we make our wheatgrass juice."
The May 2000 issue of Alternative Health Magazine states that wheatgrass is rich in chlorophyll, which has these important benefits:
- Purifying - Chlorophyll has an anti-bacterial effect on wounds, and an anti-yeast effect in the digestive tract. It appears to counteract many toxins in the body.
- Anti-Inflammatory - Chlorophyll has the effect of reducing inflammation. Thus it can be used to help counteract the effects of arthritis, stomach ulcers, colitis, sore throats, and other inflammatory conditions.
- Nourishing - It builds blood; after all, it is almost identical to hemoglobin; helps promote intestinal flora; and assists liver cleansing.

Although I'm to allergic to grass, ragweed, and tree pollen, I've been taking Pure Planet
Green Kamut for about 2 weeks, with no problems. The label on the bottle reminds you to avoid rapid detoxification, begin using 1/2 teaspoon daily slowly increasing to 1-3 teaspoons daily. The label also says
Green Kamut is an alkaline forming food. In order to insure complete absorption, take on an empty stomach at least 25 minutes before or after a meal. I am up to a 1/2 teaspoon upon arising and 1/2 teaspoon at bedtime. This is the first time I could feel a big difference after taking a supplement.
