So What Exactly IS Wheatgrass?
The consumption of wheatgrass in the Western world began in the 1930s as a result of experiments conducted by Charles F. Schnabel in his attempts to popularize the plant.
Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, conducted his first experiments with young grasses in 1930, when he used fresh cut grass in an attempt to nurse dying hens back to health. The hens not only recovered, but they produced eggs at a higher rate than healthy hens. Encouraged by his results, he began drying and powdering grass for his family and neighbors to supplement their diets.
The following year, Schnabel reproduced his experiment and achieved the same results. Hens consuming rations supplemented with grass doubled their egg production. Schnabel started promoting his discovery to gristmills, chemists and the food industry. Two large corporations, Quaker Oats and American Dairies Inc. invested millions of dollars in further research, development, and production of grass products for animals and humans. By 1940, cans of Schnabel’s powdered grass were on sale in major drug stores throughout the United States and Canada.
Schnabel claimed in the 1940s that “fifteen pounds of wheatgrass is equal in overall nutritional value to 350 pounds of ordinary garden vegetables”, a ratio of 1:23.



Here is just one more story about the idiocy of “Big Pharma”. The Doctor involved in this study right identifies the fact that when you put DCA (Dichloroacetic Acid). The dichloroacetate ion stimulates the activity of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase by inhibiting the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. Thus, it decreases lactate production by shifting the metabolism of pyruvate from glycolysis towards oxidation in the mitochondria. This property has led to trials of DCA for the treatment of lactic acidosis in humans.


Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently held a news conference where he demonstrates how someone is very likely to have "manufactured" the birth certificate that the Whitehouse released as the official "long form birth certificate for Obama. Anyone familiar with Adobe Illustrator will recognize immediate why the document has to be a fake. You can see the entire press conference here.
