I was working on putting in bamboo flooring in my kitchen and I had an accident with the saw. The blade didn’t cut me but the saw kicked the piece of wood out of my hand and took a lot of the top of my finger with it. The flap of skin was still there so I had it stitched back together. It was hard to stitch on the top because the nail was in the way.
You’re probably thinking, Â Eeeeew! That was more than I wanted to know
But that’s the bad part over. I put vitamin E on the cut although they had said not to use anything, but about a week later some of the skin was looking pretty white and dead. So I thought about wheatgrass juice. I remembered that it cured Ann Wigmore’s gangrene so I figured an injured finger would be easy.
I soaked my finger in wheatgrass juice and put a gauze pad soaked in juice around it every day after that. I got my stitches out 2 days ago and today is 2 weeks after the event and my finger is acting just like normal. You can still see the cut of course, but it has healed amazingly. Yesterday I finished up sawing and laying the floor and had no trouble with my finger at all.
Luckily the doc didn’t notice the slightly greenish look when he took out the 8 stitches.

Last year, in the leadup to the elections, there was a lot of pessimism and a lot of survivalist articles all over the net. Many people could see the end of the world as we know it. I put together a survival stash, just in case, and took some emergency training so I could help out my neighbors in a disaster.
In my research I found that there were many examples of famines all over the world, in this generation and long ago, where people ate grass to survive and it killed them. There was a recent article in National Geographic about the famine in North Korea that spoke of this.
Grass is not a natural food for humans because it is so heavy on cellulose, which we cannot digest. I know that in the Irish Potato famine, long ago, many people died from trying to eat grass. But, if the grass is juiced, leaving behind the cellulose, Ann Wigmore said that you could live on it if necessary.
I have been using an electric juicer for a couple of years now but I decided to get some handcrank Lexan juicers for my emergency stash for my neighbors and myself. There obviously wouldn’t be electricity available during an emergency situation. There is always green stuff growing here in California, even in the winter, that can be juiced for emergency food.
But after I put my emergency stash together and Obama got elected, I decided that all this worry and fear was bad for my vibration. So I unplugged from the news and got on with my life.
I actually haven’t done mainstream news for thirty years because I think it is bad for your health. It is fear-based to make money and most pundits are raving idiots or mediocre minds at best. But, during the never-ending election cycle, I did get hooked on web news and blogs. But I gave that up as well and went back to take caring of my own life.
Now I get RSS feeds of the great news in the alternative energy field and sustainable living and other things I am interested in. There are so many new inventions coming out every day in those areas. It is very exciting!  With the computer we can get the exact news we are interested in, instead of trash news aimed at controlling us or instilling fear in us, I really appreciate that!
Have a green day,
Pam

Drinking wheatgrass juice or taking the green food that I sell are great for your overall health partly because they affect your body’s alkalinity. When you eat a lot of acid-forming foods like most Americans your body chemistry gets very out of balance. This leads to addictive eating and fat gain. But drinking a couple of ounces of wheatgrass a day is not going to solve your weight problems by itself. You also need to learn how to ‘think thin’.
A new book I just read by Jon Gabriel, called ‘The Gabriel Method’ has a totally new approach to losing weight. This is a guy with excellent credentials because he was over 400 lbs for many years and now is so fit and great-looking it is amazing!
He tried everything to lose weight and nothing worked over time. He always had the yoyo effect where more weight came back than he lost. So he went through a life crisis and studied everything he could think of and finally put a program together that works. His main premise is that it is our old animal brain that handles our weight and it is mostly convinced that keeping you fat is keeping you safe.
In the long-ago times that was true. People with meat on their bones outlasted the skinnies during famine and there was famine almost every year. But there is one reason that our old brains will keep us thin - if it thinks there is a predator after us. So his program in the book teaches you to activate that part of the brain to drop weight.
He doesn’t tell you to give stuff up or exercise until you want to. Anybody who has dieted and hated every moment of it will love this book! And Jon is totally into wheat grass juice, thinks it’s wonderful.
So, drink the green and think thin,
Pam

I’m finally getting my blog back together. I lost it when I changed hosting companies and all the entries went to the blog graveyard.
I’m just testing now to see if everything is working fine and I’ll do my first entry about losing weight with wheatgrass tomorrow.
I’m not going to allow comments because I got a lot of comment spam last time so if you have anything to share about wheatgrass please email me and I will put it on the blog.
Stay green,
Pam
