Do you mind me asking what # they told you for FSH?  I don't know anything about wheat grass but, have been reading great things about DHEA. Mine is a 7, but I think I may start taking DHEA any way.

Dear gyptian,
Please visit this site. http://www.sprout.net.au/nws_wheatgrass_kids_breastfeeding.htm  
I don't know how it will effect your FSH level. But, I do know how miraculous drinking fresh wheatgrass juice is first hand. I have tried the pills and to me, there is no comparison. It isn't even in the same ball park. I suppose something is better than nothing, though.
I am soon to be 40 and am 6 weeks pregnant after being off of the pill for about 6 months. Feb 16 was my first "normal" period after ceasing the pill and voila! I am pregnant. I was suspicious that my body was trying to go into menopause and that the pill was just forcing me to have a pitiful little nothing of a period. I never had any blood work done concerning this, so I have nothing to compare with you.

Back to the wheatgrass juice.  At 38, I had arthritis so bad that I believed my life was over. I gave up eating night shade plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant, green peppers and paprika. That wasn't quite enough. I read an article in the October 2006 issue of Discover magazine called "DNA is not Destiny". It told of experiments at Duke University where genetically fat, yellow Agouti rats that were genetically prone to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. were fed diets high in methyl donor foods such as onions, garlic and beets prior to conception and during pregnancy. The off-spring were born slender, brown and disease resistant. Those genetic changes carried on through 40 generations by the time the article was written. I decided to experiment upon myself when I discovered a new Whole Foods market had openned nearby.

Every morning for 8 months I was the first customer to the juice bar. I would get a 16oz veggie juice. Then I discovered the fresh 1 oz shots drinks of wheatgrass juice. This must be taken on an empty stomach to help avoid the initial detox nausea that some people experience the first time or two. In a few weeks I had gone from not being able to get comfortable in any position to being able to move pain free without so much as a tylenol. All of my foot pain was gone. I could sit in a chair for hours. I could finally sleep through the night. My friends and co workers were amazed.

One of my co-workers had and 11 year old daughter who had been diagnosed with anemia. I told her that the difference between the hemin in hemoglobin and wheatgrass juice is that there is an iron molecule at the center of the hemin and there is a magnesium molecule at the center of the wheat grass chemical structure. (This comes from a book called "Wheatgrass") It is said that in five days it can conquer anemia. She had her daughter take a sip of fresh wheatgrass juice everyday for a week and took her back for blood tests. NO MORE ANEMIA! Incidentally, my friend drank the rest of each ounce of wheatgrass juice that her daughter didn't drink that week and she, too, felt an increase in energy.

Try the fresh wheatgrass juice instead of the pills. It tastes sweet and green. Chase it with an orange wedge to cover the taste if you don't like it. But do it everyday for a while. After those 8 months, I didn't need to do it but once a month. Other problems I had also disappeared, but I won't get into those now. This is my experience. Perhaps it will help you with your problem. It is worth a shot. Fresh wheatgrass juice has anti-cancer/tumor properties and is super high in antioxidants.
