"Barley grass is one of the most incredible products of this
decade. It improves the skin texture and the dryness associated with
aging." ~~Dr. Howard Lutz.

Of
all the grasses, Barley grass has probably been researched more, due
to the efforts of Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, President of the Hagiwara
Institute of Health in Japan. Hagiwara reports that he researched over
150 different plants over a period of 13 years. He found that in
barley was the most excellent source of nutrients that the body needs
for growth, repair and well-being.
A biologist named Yasuo Hotta from the University of California, La
Jolla, found in barley grass a substance called P4D1. This substance
not only has strong anti-inflammatory action but was shown to actually
repair the DNA in the cells of the body. This aided in the prevention
of carcinogenesis, aging, and cell death. He reported in a Japan
Pharmacy Science Association meeting that P4D1 suppresses or cures
pancreatitis, stomatitis, inflammation of the oral cavity, and
dermatitis, and also lacerations of the stomach and doudenum. He found
that barley juice is much stronger than steroid drugs but has fewer if
any side effects. Dr. Howard Lutz, who is director of the Institute of
Preventive Medicine in Washington, D.C., has said this about barley
grass: "(Barley grass is) one of the most incredible products of
this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought,
and reduces addiction to things that are bad for you. It also improves
the texture of the skin, and heals the dryness associated with
aging."
Some people who try grass juice find that they just cannot tolerate
wheatgrass juice. It is extremely detoxifying and makes some people
nauseous every time they drink it. These people may find that they can
tolerate barley grass juice. It is milder, although quite bitter,
compared to the sweetness of wheatgrass juice. Barley grass is
very high in organic sodium. People who have a tendency towards
dehydration need more organic sodium. People with arthritis have used
celery juice for years because of the organic sodium it contains.
According to Hagiwara, in his book, Green Barley Essence, barley grass
has 775 mg. organic sodium per 100 grams. This contrasts with 28 mg.
sodium per 100 grams in celery. Organic sodium keeps calcium in
solution in the bloodstream and also dissolves calcium deposited on
the joints. (For this reason alone, it should be very calming to the
nerves.) It also replenishes organic sodium in the lining of the
stomach. This aids digestion by improving the production of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Besides chlorophyll and a myriad of vitamins, minerals and enzymes,
barley grass is said to have 30 times as much vitamin B1 as in milk,
3.3 times as much vitamin C, and 6.5 times as much carotene as in
spinach, 11 times the amount of calcium in cow's milk, nearly five
times the iron content of spinach, nearly seven times the vitamin C in
oranges, four times the vitamin B1 in whole wheat flour, and 80
micrograms of vitamin B12 per 100 grams of dried barley plant juice.
This analysis was done by the Resource Research Association, Office of
Science and Technology, and Japan Food Analysis Center. This same food
analysis center which did research on the dried barley grass juice,
found that it contains per 100 grams: 775 Na, 8,800 K, 1,108 Ca, 224.7
Mg, 15.8 Fe, 1.36 Cu, 534 P, 7.33 Zn. Closest to it is spinach: 25 Na,
490 K, 98 Ca, 59.2Mg, 3.3 Fe, 0.26 Cu, 52 P, --
Many people have claimed that regular supplementation with green
barley juice stimulates weight loss, which research says is due to the
enhancement of the cytochrome oxidase enzyme system which is essential
for cell metabolism.
Another enzyme contained by barley grass is superoxide dismutase
(SOD), a powerful antioxidant which protects the cells against toxic
free radicals which are thought to be a primary culprit in aging and
many other diseases.
"It has been my experience, after growing both wheatgrass and
barley grass and providing juice for people, both in my green house
and in juice bars, that people who tend to be arthritic do better with
barley grass juice because of its high sodium content. Many people
using it have found relief from pain with a week or two." KK
Fowlkes We have Ann Wigmore to thank for her research on wheatgrass
and Yoshihide Hagiwara to thank for our knowledge about barley grass.
In addition Hippocrates, the father of medicine advised, "Let
your food be your medicine," and Shin Huange-ti, said "It is
the diet which maintains true health and becomes the best drug."
