Perhaps that's why she's operating in Puerto Rico, so she can concentrate more on helping the destitute sick than fighting the buracracy.
BS. It is all an attempt to seperate people from their money.
Wheatgrass is worthless quackery.

According to William T. Jarvis, a retired professor of public health at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine and founder of the National Council against Health Fraud, this is all baloney: Enzymes are complex protein molecules produced by living organisms exclusively for their own use in promoting chemical reactions. Orally ingested enzymes are digested in the stomach and have no enzymatic activity in the eater. Jarvis adds, The fact that grass-eating animals are not spared from cancer, despite their large intake of fresh chlorophyll, seems to have been lost on Wigmore. In fact, chlorophyll cannot ‘detoxify the body’ because it is not absorbed.
SourceHer original idea was biblically inspired.
quote:
The alleged salubrious effects of wheatgrass were promoted in the 1940s by a Lithuanian immigrant to Boston named Ann Wigmore, a holistic health practitioner who was inspired by the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar, recounted in Daniel 4:33, in which he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
Same source as above.
quote:
Anecdotal case reports of tumor regressions and life extension among cancer patients who followed the wheatgrass regimen have been published in the proponent literature (see, e.g., (344)), but thus far, no studies of its clinical role in the treatment of cancer have been reported.

They do not seem to be making such outtrageous claims.

# The Ann Wigmore Institute is a school, not a clinic or a spa.
# We offer no medical advice or medical intervention of any kind. We have no physicians or nurses on staff though we can arrange for a local physician to visit you here if you find it necessary or in case of an emergency.
# If you are challenged with a medical condition, please consult your health care practitioner to determine whether our detoxification program and lifestyle changes are appropriate for you.
# Upon arrival, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer that releases AWI from any responsibility for any health conditions you experience, pre-existing or otherwise. You must be able to care for yourself.
Destitute??
The "classes' are not free. It is a money making enterprise it is not some sort of charity.
Don't you find it odd that NONE of these alternative medicine places can show any verifiable evidence that their programs work? All they can give is anecdotal evidence.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
