this wheat grass business thing is such a reap off feeding on powerless
peoples

. peoples will be better off , just cutting any growing  wild grass and
chewing them ,  they are often better tasting , free for the taking , and
wild ( so mineralised properlly in opposition of crops grown in tilled and
fertilised grounds ).

the fishy smell in this herb might be an indication of richness in omega 3
fatty acids ( flax also smell fishy ), just rebalancing the ratio between
omega 3 and omega 6 can go a long way in prevention of cancer .
