Over 10 years ago I was living in a very small apartment with my then, 5 yr old daughter. She was only living with me half the week. At the time, I had wheatgrass growing in the apartment(probably a small tray), and I was juicing, if I can remember right, about once a day.

One day in the winter, my gas heater, shut off unexpectedly. When the gas company looked at it, they informed me that the heater's outside vent had come loose and was venting carbon monoxide into the apartment. There was a substantial burn in the carpet and floor behind the unit proving that it had been loose for quite some time. I most definitely would've had more serious complications had I not had extra oxygen in the air from the wheatgrass. And add to that the benefit of drinking wheatgrass, which is rich in chlorophyll, and it increases hemoglobin production, thereby minimizing the effect of carbon monoxide. My daughter, however, had she been in the apartment as much as I had, and because of her size, would have most certainly suffered some ill effect of the gas.

Another story...
About 4 years ago, I was juicing grass twice a day. Just for general health. I have been in the cleaning business for quite some time and have breathed in, I'm sure, many toxic substances. About the second week into it, I started expelling mucous that was yellow in color and smelled like a common household cleaner that I was consistently using and I'm sure most of you use on a weekly basis. Well, that said a lot to me and I hope it does to you too.

For more personal stories on wheatgrass, please start juicing yourself. Your own personal experience is really the one that matters.
