When Danny McDonald from Dunaff, Ireland found out from mainstream doctors at the late age of 74 that he had a severe form of stomach cancer that had already spread through his body and he would be dead in three months if he would not undergo their prescribed treatments. However, Danny decided to go with a holistic approach.
“I told the doctors I wasn’t prepared to undergo the course of treatments they had suggested,” Danny said, according to Sunday World. “I knew it would kill me. They were furious I had come to that conclusion. The consultant warned me I’d be dead in three months.”
According to Sunday World, Danny started researching alternative methods of treatment. He later told his doctors that he would be doing his own homemade treatments involving wheatgrass.
“I told the doctors I wasn’t prepared to undergo the course of treatments they had suggested,” Danny is quoted as saying by Sunday World. “I knew it would kill me. They were furious I had come to that conclusion. The consultant warned me I’d be dead in three months.”
Danny’s choice wasn’t spontaneous; he’s heard a lot of stories of people using wheatgrass as treatment for his cancer. So he decided to grow his own wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass and Cancer
Wheatgrass is loaded with antioxidants, has more vitamin C than oranges, is a complete source of protein (thanks to having 17+ amino acids), and is rich in B-complex vitamins.
As we know, cancer cells need anaerobic, oxygen-deprived cells to grow. Consuming oxygen rich chlorophyll in wheatgrass helps in stopping cancer’s growth by oxygenating the blood and detoxifying the body. This decreases the oxygen-deprived cells in the body.
Several test-tube studies have discovered that it may help kill cancer cells
- One test-tube test found that Wheatgrass extract was able to decrease the spread of mouth cancer cells by 41%. Another study found up to 65% cell death and reduced Leukemia cells in just 3 days of treatment with Wheatgrass.
- More studies found that Wheatgrass juice, when combined with traditional cancer treatment, may help reduce the side effects of the treatment.
Danny started by adding one fluid ounce (29ml) of wheatgrass juice a day and then worked his way up to 7 fluid ounces per day over several weeks.
Danny has gained all the weight back and the cancer which was killing him has vanished.
