Why
Use Greens?
Organically grown greens from grade 10 plants are one of the most effective
foods on our planet. One special form of greens, the cereal grasses, have
been used for centuries and are well known for their spectacular,
health-rejuvenating properties.
Every Known Nutrient to Sustain Life
Unbelievably, cereal grasses contain every known vitamin, mineral, amino
acid, and enzyme necessary to sustain life. Grasses are a complete food.
Grasses dissolve, then absorb minerals from rock and soil, converting the
minerals into a form easy for humans to absorb. Because they contain a broad
array of fully bio-available, naturally occurring minerals, especially
calcium and magnesium, they help keep the body alkaline. This is a great
antidote to America’s typical high-protein, high acid-ash diet. Alkalinizing
the body helps to protect against poor health conditions -- the result of a
body that has become too acidic.
Cereal
grasses are also a rich source of chlorophyll, called the great detoxifier,
which helps support normal blood purification. Grasses also contain a large
array of phytonutrients and antioxidants, with more vitamin C than oranges,
more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach and more betacarotene than
carrots. No wonder grasses are many times more protective than the well-known
vitamins C and E.

All
Flesh Is Grass
The Bible tells us: “All flesh is grass.” (Isaiah 40:6) This means that
somewhere in the food chain of all people, something green was the starting
point.
After weaning, what food does a baby calf need to be able to grow into a
healthy, full-grown adult cow? Only fresh grass. (Cows always prefer fresh
grass over commercial feeds or dried hay. The more a cow is raised on
non-grass sources, the more its health suffers.) Even a baby elephant is able
to grow into a huge, multi-ton, adult elephant eating only grass.
Grass
and the Eyes
Grasses also contain an abundance of vitamin A, an important vitamin needed
to help clear sick mucus membranes (mouth, sinuses, ears, eyes, digestive
tract). The Bible mentions the relationship between healthy eyes and eating
grass (referring to animals): “And their eyes did fail because there was no
grass.” (Jeremiah 14:5,6).
Premier
DNA Repair Agent
Because of the synergistic effect of its broad-spectrum of nutrients, grasses
are premier functional foods and an excellent intracellular DNA repair agent.
This is good news for all of us, since our bodies are now routinely exposed
to agents all around us which can cause DNA damage, including pesticide residues
in our foods, commercial cleaning agents, synthetic perfumes, exposure to
increased ionizing radiation while on airplane flights, clothes dry cleaning
agents, out gassing chemicals from carpet, paint, and fixtures, fumes from
ink, printers, and xerox machines, etc. For those who already have DNA
disruption and damage, cereal grasses can prove to be powerful agents to help
restore and rejuvenate damaged DNA.
Our
Fabulous South American Connection
Premier Greens Mix is a clinicly-proven, living, naturally and organically
grown blend of the finest, pristine grasses and greens from the best sources
worldwide. Our spectacular, grade 10 (premier-state) cereal grasses are from
South America, grown in rich, luxuriantly healthy soil (with absolutely zero pesticides)
in pure country air. We call it our “South American connection.” The South
American farm crews carefully harvest and low-temperature, air-dry these
whole grasses.
Although grasses grown in the U.S. can deliver beneficial nutrients, our
tests show their toxic levels are far too high (due to pesticide/chemical
residues). Unfortunately, negative effects from a bioaccumulation of these
residues is usually seen later on, but the consumer rarely links them to the
toxicity of the product.
Two major reasons that U.S. grasses are a problem: a) the water supplies
contain high levels of pesticide residues and contaminants (even in organic
farming) and b) the top soils have sustained massive nutrient losses, even on
organic farms, as well as being dosed with heavy pesticide residues from
decades of chemicalized farming (residues which can remain long after a farm
is converted to organic).
Wimpy
Green Products ~ Beware of the 6 pitfalls of a wimpy greens product:
1) Is the Kitchen Sink Included?
To look more competitive (or maybe to cover up poor quality), some products
claim to have a huge number of ingredients. From greens to fruits, some
products have just about everything but the kitchen sink. But more is not
better, and in many cases, poor combinations of nutrients are an outright
clash — which can create intestinal distress or worse problems. For example,
certain vegetable extracts may go well together, but combine poorly with
other items, especially fruits. Would you eat broccoli and bananas together?
Would you combine garlic and peaches? Obviously your body doesn’t think so
either. Don’t be fooled by a laundry list of ingredients.
2) Creeping Toxicity
A formula is only as good as its weakest link. A multi-item greens product
may have some non-toxic nutrients but inevitably it also contains toxic ones
which can lead to potentially harmful effects. At first, the product may seem
helpful, but over time, its toxic residues can create symptoms. The user may
fail to link these symptoms back to the product.
Your best bet is a clinically tested formula, such as Premier Greens Mix,
that features key, grade 10 extracts, 100% of which are non-toxic and
effective, proven to work synergistically together, providing an effect
greater than the sum of its nutrients individually.
3) Where Was the Product Grown?
If the greens have been grown in the U.S., we are highly suspicious of their
integrity. Why? Because they typically contain high levels of pesticide and
chemical residues. In addition, many have been irradiated (but rarely
identified on the label.)
Premier Greens Mix has absolutely no pesticides because they have been grown
only in South America and have not been irradiated.
4) Avoid Juice Extracts
Some claim their greens product is better because it is in the form of a grass
juice extract only. But a juice extract is actually a refined food (since
over half the product, the fiber, has been removed)! You don’t want the fiber
left out because it is highly nutritious.
Fiber contains an abundance of phytonutrients and antioxidants and is highly
stable, naturally preserving the other nutrients. Natural fiber provides bulk
which enhances bowel eliminations and helps clear internal toxins.
If the fiber is taken out, the juice-only products then need to use a
preservative. So, the manufacturers often spray the juice extract on
maltodextrin, a cheap, refined sugar synthesized from corn. Although
maltodextrin may act as a preservative for the juice extract and also taste
sweet, eating refined sugars can be a disaster. Refined sugars can wreak
havoc on your immune system, as well as many other systems. In some greens
products, maltodexrin can constitute up to 1/3 of the product. Buyer beware.
In contrast, Premier-Rx Greens Mix contains no maltodextrin or other refined
sugars. It contains only 100% grade 10 greens, with the fiber completely
intact. These greens have been finely pulverized to afford easy mixing into
drinks or foods.
5) Burned or Frozen?
Some greens products are highly heated. When greens extracts are heated above
126 deg. F., all living enzymes have been destroyed. The higher the
temperature, the more damage to the cell structures of the greens. Some
greens extracts may look great but are cellularly “burned.”
On the other hand, we were surprised to see some greens that are stored at
extremely low temperatures before being used. One product uses greens that
have been stored at -20 degrees Celsius. That extreme freezing temperature
may be great for a prolonged shelf life but it is incredibly cold. This
extreme cold damages the delicate glycoside bonds in the greens and fractures
their DNA structure. Although these greens may offer some help, they are far
inferior to low-temp-erature, air-dried greens. Have you ever tried to eat a
salad after its been frozen and then thawed? You get the point. Avoid
pre-frozen greens.
In contrast, the greens in Premier Greens Mix are only
low-temperature/air-dried, never “burned” or “frozen,” so their enzymes and
nutrients are fully intact.
6) “Natural” Flavors? Not Natural for Humans
We continue to be surprised at how many so-called natural products are
formulated with “natural flavors.” “Natural flavors” is nice-sounding term
for toxic MSG (monosodium glutamate). We often feel like a lone wolf trying
to lead the health pack in a different direction—away from MSG. But “natural
flavors” is such a great flavor enhancer and works so well to disguise any
off-tastes, that it is just too tempting for most manufacturers not to use
MSG in their products.
So you’ll see MSG listed as “natural flavors” on almost every greens product.
It’s hard to believe, but MSG lurks everywhere in many health products. Buyer
beware.
