Technically, the wheatgrass recovery spray is sold as a skin product but many people, myself included, use it orally. It all has to do with the difference in regulation requirements between oral and skin products. The super shots are more concentrated though, so they may be of more use for thals.

Wheat grass contains iron?

Hi Zaini,

There is a little bit of Iron in almost everything we consume. However, it is the quantity that matters. Fresh extracted Wheat Grass juice contains more Iron compared to the spray or the pill which you can use instead of the juice.  However, if you are faithful to your chelation, then you don't have to worry much about it.

As for the extracted juice, the daily dose is usually less than half a glass which does not contain significant amount of Iron. Trust me, that no one will even want to drink several glasses of that stuff (Yuck!) when the amount of Iron starts to matter.

Take care.

I'm going to order some, too. I took wheatgrass pills years ago, but they tasted terrible and I had to take incredibly large amounts of them. Thanks for the info. Jean

Wheatgrass tablets contain only a small amount of iron and the extract is iron free. The tablets on the market today should be swallowed and not chewed.

Hello Ma'am,

I hope that you will be able to find the tablets or spray for this in Karachi. I have been unable to do so in Rawalpindi; so I had decided to grow a patch of my own. Unfortunately the weather here changes too rapidly and slight increase in temperature destroys the patch. However I was able to grow it for a couple of months but it went too hot to continue. I doubt that it will grow better in the even hotter climate of Karachi.

Anyway, if you can't find WG in the form of pills or spray, then you might want to experiment with a patch of your own. Here is the link to my WG project if you want to check it out for fun :biggrin

Take care, Allah Hafiz!

Asalam-o-Alaikum Mr. Mumtaz,

Your question has been answered several times in different threads by Mr. Andy and myself. Please don't make redundant posts.

Anyway like I had posted earlier in other threads that I went to the Children's Hospital in the Shameisi area of Riyadh some 10 odd years ago.

You can also try the King Fahad Hospital that Mr. Andy posted about.

I hope that this will help.

Sajid,

With due respect I think asking question is one's right; no matter how many times. The purpose of this website is to help each other and I think we should not discourage each other from asking questions.

I sincerely hope everyone get comfort here.

Regards
Regards.

I have made a small adjustment to mumtaz's notification settings as I think the replies are not being easily found by mumtaz. Hopefully this will help get the info across.

I also have no problem with posting more than once as long as it doesn't get too repetitive. We are here to help and that should be foremost on our minds.

Hi everyone.
I'm as confused as ever,But few things I still remember is Kindness and Patience make each one of us feels better,
"People" always remember how they are made to feel. Lets be tolerant to  everyone, it costs nothing. Arrogant is good in small doses,but ugly towards others.

Hi Kathy,

You're right. Patience is so important. I answer the same questions 100 times and happily so. It would be easy to just say go read all the posts because it's been answered before but what harm is done by greeting every question with a sincere reply? I'll just answer again for the 101st time if needed.  :wink

I agree with everyone, but when a person pastes the same message in every different (sometime irrelevant) forum, that gives the perception that we are not answering him and he continues on posting and thinks that we don't reply and gets dis-hearted.

There may be a possibility that he didn't get the replies due to technical reasons like Andy said. In that case please ignore my comment; otherwise let's be patient in receiving reply to our first query.
