CASE
# 1
An
elderly female suffered severe, debilitating pain from a sub-capital fracture of the humerus. The pain was refractory to
standard analgesics, and she was deteriorating clinically. Hospital
admission was considered. However, following application of
wheatgrass, she obtained rapid relief (within five to ten minutes) of
pain.
Analgesia lasted approximately four hours and remained equally
effective several months later.
CASE
# 2
A
nine year old boy fell off the playgym at school and suffered a fractured
elbow, not badly displaced, but very swollen and painful. The fracture was
reduced and the limb immobilised in a collar and cuff. Wheatgrass spray
and cream were applied frequently over and around the exposed elbow. The
first night, the boy woke at midnight complaining of pain, more cream and
spray were applied and he slept till morning. He remained pain-free and
pain-free and at day five, swelling had markedly reduced and bruising was
only just visible. Excellent and rapid healing occurred.
Comment:
In the first case, I scoffed at the patient's account of a "topical
analgesic" telling her if there was such a thing, then the medical
profession would know about it. But I was quite wrong. It did work, and,
given her state of exhaustion, weight loss and depression her pain nearly
killed her. So the wheatgrass actually saved her life. I'm just glad that
I took heed of what she told me, because that's when I began using
wheatgrass therapeutically for the first time. I've been using it
successfully ever since. It is a pity that doctors could learn
about the therapeutic benefits of wheatgrass if they chose to, but, like
the young boy in Case # 2 whose orthopedic surgeon was not even
interested, most medicos I know ridicule it - and me as well. And that's
without having tried it! They must know something I don't.
Happy to say, increasing numbers of medical practitioners are realising
what a valuable therapeutic tool they have available to them, and are
achieving successful outcomes accordingly.
