Wheatgrass vs. cataracts - here are the details.
First I found and read the article below.
It was a canine study, but humans and dogs have many similarities. https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/wheatgrass-rapidly-reverses-cataracts-animal-model-closer-look-regenerative-bioch (The 2005 Italian study is linked below.) So I looked for the wheatgrass product with the best reviews, and I took (4) scoops a day, every day. After 4 months, I got an eye exam - success. On a scale from 1-10, an 8 and a 5 became a 2 and a 2. Opthalmologist said that the cataracts now had no real density. The wheatgrass taste is not bad, I just put it in a little water with a little pink salt. I like to take it between or before meals. Wheatgrass has many benefits. Even the gut bacteria benefit. So I still take the stuff, no plans to stop -A 2005 Italian study of 20kg canines found rapid and dramatic reduction of cataracts with oral consumption of wheatgrass powder: 25-40% reduction in a month.
