	Review by the Author  Jan 17, 2008
Tending fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers was an everyday part of my life when I was a child living on a farm in South Africa. Fresh produce really does make a difference to your health but it was only when I started drinking wheatgrass juice and rejuvelac, some thirty years ago, that I gradually became free of all my ailments. I have always had the belief that there might be a miraculous `natural' substance to help alleviate our disorders, and when my husband Richard gave me a book entitled Survival into the 21st Century, by Viktoras Kulvinskas, I was sure I had found the answers I had been searching for. The book was a holistic mix, which included sprouting, fasting, food combinations and research studies based on wheatgrass. My attention was also drawn to Ann Wigmore, author of The Wheatgrass Book, who believed that deficiency and toxaemia are the causes of all diseases. This was certainly true in my case, I was suffering from anaemia, and osteoporosis and my bowels were not functioning normally. We have an inner mechanism that longs to bring us back into balance. Personally, my stability was found in little grains of wheat. Germinated, grown, harvested and juiced, wheatgrass juice became the basis for my resulting good health. Wheatgrass can be regarded as a bio stimulator, helping to promote natural healing by removing toxic waste from the body and providing specific vitamins and minerals such as a perfect ratio of magnesium and calcium for skeletal needs, boron, molybdenum and zinc - and enzymes and phytochemicals for optimum health. I was so motivated by the magic of wheatgrass that it became an irresistible dynamic, which moved me to introduce it to my family and friends and from this momentum it spread out, resulting in workshops, participation in health festivals, and media promotion. All these activities were fired by my passion, which culminated in my book, Wheatgrass Superfood for a New Millennium, published by Vital Health Publishing. My objective for writing this book has been to convey to the reader that anyone with a windowsill and a little space can benefit from this extraordinary food-source. The growing techniques and subsequent advantages explained in this book are the result of my own experiences. I offer this information to you, and trust in the helpful, healing properties of this humble green plant. I am happy to announce that I will in time be revising my current book to include experiments, experiences and startlingly wonderful testimonies from people touched by the healing wheatgrass has to offer. Thanks for your support. May your health and your grass keep growing! Li
	There are MUCH better books than this one  Sep 14, 2007
I have read this book in its entirety and was really disappointed. Much of the book is He/She said this, or He/She discovered that, or So&So wrote this. I did not find ANY new or original information anywhere in the book and I found the book itself boring and difficult to finish. Some of the recipies looked good but a lot of them used quite a few ingredients. Some of them require an appliance called a LIQUIDIZER. I have checked every kitchen store in my area and many on the web and none of them had ever heard of anything called a liquidizer. Juicing wheatgrass is a very worthwhile activity just for its health benefits alone, but save your money and pass on this book. I think it was hastily writtten to capitalize on and reap the financial profits on the recent resurgence on Wheatgrass and juicing. There are four EXCELLENT books on Wheatgrass & Sprouting, and I have also read each of them, they are: The Wheatgrass Book: How to Grow and Use Wheatgrass to Maximize Your Health and Vitality (Avery Health Guides) by Ann Wigmore. I thought this book was EXCELLENT. It contains a lot of useful and much of it is original information on wheatgrass and its health benefits, how to grow it and so much more. IMHO it is the defininig book on Wheatgrass. A second book is: Wheatgrass Nature's Finest Medicine: The Complete Guide to Using Grasses to Revitalize Your Health by Steve Meyerowitz. In addition to the abundant information of wheatgrass it contains a large section of customer testimonials on how wheatgrass has improved their health and in many cases saved their lives by removing all traces of the diseases(such as cancer) from their bodies or reversed other diseases(like diabetes) in humans and how one person used it on their pets to treat untreatable diseases. There is also a section on suppliers of seeds and equipment and much more. This is an excellent followup book to the Ann Wigmore book above. There are also two books on sprouting that are next in line. They are: The Sprouting Book: How to Grow and Use Sprouts to Maximize Your Health and Vitality (Avery Health Guides) by Ann Wigmore, whom I believe is the mother of Sprouting and Wheatgrass. If you are new to sprouting this book is the place to start. It contains all of the necessary information to become an avid Sproutarian. A good followup to this one is: Sprouts The Miracle Food: The Complete Guide to Sprouting by Steve Meyerowitz. It also contains a lot of valuable information and like the Wheatgrass book above it has a lot of resources for suppliers and equipment. The above four books are very well written and a complete joy to read and contain enough information to make you a perverbial expert on the subjects and they all have plenty of recipies. Some excellent followups to these four are: The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program Be your own doctor;: Let living food be your medicine Recipes for Longer Life Our precious pets: God made them for love I hope this information has helped. Enjoy your Wheatgrass & Keep On A Juicing.

I especially like the detailed instructions for sprouting things like alfalfa and chick peas and sunflower seeds, and the use of things I don't usually think of right away, like rosemary flowers to flavor juiced vegetables. It also has instructions for making your own tinctures and healing oils, such as a wheatgrass oil for healing scars!
	Viva Wheatgrass Viva  Mar 4, 2002
For someone who is not inclined to eat well nor look after my health this was a delightful excursion through history, philosophy, african origins and health. She provides a wonderful quick reference to the health aspects of many food besides grasses. This little book, carefully introduces the reader to many aspects of spiritual and physical health. Wheatgrass: Sperfood for the New-Millenium: drew me into a wonderfully enjoyable reflection on the world beyond the institutional rat race that traps my everyday life. When i first saw the title i thought it was going to tell me about wheatgrass, but i got far more. Reading Wheatgrass helped me to reflect on a myriad of aspects of my own life and re-engage with some of my own intuitive feelings. It was a deep and meaningful experience Li Smith has crafted an informative, helpful and friendly introduction to the curative and healthfull properties of grasses and specifically wheatgrass. She provides a wealth of information on a wide variety of topics, woven expertly into a holistic understanding of grasses and their role in our context. The book does this in an accessible manner assisted by the tastefull illustrations by Richard Smith. The illustrations provide a lovely touch with their tongue in cheek or is that banana in deckchair humour. This is a very enjoyable and helpful book, providing sufficent depth to provide a wholistic understanding of the nature and properties of wheatgrass. It provides very good step by step advice to those looking to improve their life and health. Whether i will take the advice, however, reflects far more on me than the good advice contained within this book. I have already found some of her advice determining my choices already. So who knows. I got far more out of this book than the title would have led me to believe. I therefore think that the subtitle should have intimated the richness of concerns covered by the book, such as the spirituality of the message. As a researcher myself, I was especially impressed by the extensive research and analysis that had gone into the construction of this book. It is well researched and wholistic understanding of grass in our spiritual/material world. It is a very thorough presentation given without the burdon of dogma, she provides the information in an honest and giving manner and style, its for you the reader to chose. As she puts it so succinctly, "Be guided by your intuition". She provides one with a lot to think about. The kind of nudge we all need every now and then. Thank you Li Smith, i hope i can implement just a little bit of the ideas and good advice. Thanks for the kick.
	Wheatgrass, a fresh look at Nutrition and Life  Sep 29, 2001
Ostensibly about nutrition and the special properties of wheatgrass, this book manages to transmit an enormous respect and love for life and nature. Writing in an anecdotal style the author's passion, verve and humour bubble out of the pages of this book. Lovely illustrations add to a joyful read packed with great advice.
