Ann Wigmore Institute
The Ann Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico uses wheat grass along with other natural regimes for rejuvinating health. Her methodology has benefited thousands including terminal cancer victims etc. If the US would apply a fraction of the proposed health care billions to things like this there would be no health care crisis at all.

What's the big deal with this stuff as compared to, say, collard greens or alfalfa hay? Do you have any data to show it's better in any particular, except as a source of income to you or whoever is selling it?
1. It appears to bring exceptional results for whatever reason.
2. I have Ann Wigmore's book and perhaps the careful way it is grown and cut at a certain height at the optimal stage of nutritious benefit has a bearing on the popularity of it. I believe it's cut when about 4 or 5 inches whereas collard greens or alfalfa hay may be harvested at a more mature stage.
3. It may be more easily digested and assimilated by folks who have damaged and weak digestive system etc.
The above are just some possibilities that come to mind.

Hey, Buzz! Does Ann have any double-blind studies on "curing cancer"? She has a published policy:
I have no idea whether she does or not. She's popular with folks who have benefited by her institute methodology which has been around for a long time. Likey she's more concerned about results than doing impressive studies. When terminally ill folks who've been sent home to die by conventional medicine are benefited they couldn't care less whether she's done double-blind studies and such. Perhaps that's why she's operating in Puerto Rico, so she can concentrate more on helping the destitute sick than fighting the buracracy.
ABE: The published policy is nothing more than a disclaimer which is needful and reasonable protection, especially when advocating anything alternative to the conventional healthcare establishment. There's nothing unusual about such a precaution policy.

BS. It is all an attempt to seperate people from their money.
Wheatgrass is worthless quackery.
Come, let us reason together, Theodoric. Which parts more folks from a whole lot more money and which is the more dangerous and risky, prescription drugs having price tags into the hundreds of $$ per dose and having side effects ranging from suicidal tendencies to death or wheatgrass which effects only good side effects and which is relatively cheap compared to prescription drugs?

This wheatgrass seminar ain't cheap either.
No, it's not. It would likely cost as much as a ride to the emergency room and a couple of nights in a hospital with a three minute doc visit, not counting the pill bill.
As to it's effectiveness, the success and demand for the institute's services speaks for itself, not to mention the fact that so many folks who the conventionalists gave up on are helped when they followed the regime.

Re: Price Comparison
This and
this site explain some of the reasons why folks have been benefited by wheat grass.
There are numerous testimonies of cancer patients who have benefited by wheat grass out there on the internet if you care to look them up. These are anticdotal since they are not based on science studies. Imo, the number of testimonials out there are reason to lend some credence to the benefits of it. It stands to reason that the amount of clorophyl and other powerful anti-oxidant nutrients in the product is what makes it work.
Nonetheless, it would take someone willing to subject themselves to a rigorous diet rigime in order to help or reverse cancer. Anyone whose liver is destroyed would definitely not be able to be healed by any methodology.
