QUACK GRASS - Triticum repens, is also known by many other common names such as: Dog Grass, Witch Grass, Shelly Grass, Quick Grass, Twitch Grass, Knot Grass, and Dog Weed. This is an undistinguished looking, but dependable, valuable wild grass with an unsuspected hint of sweet taste. Of special interest to herbalists and natural practitioners is the fact that Quack Grass contains a very rich and effective source of the trace element, Selenium. This friendly herbal source of the important trace mineral element, Selenium is used by the body to cause an enzyme (a compound produced by the body which speeds up or slows down the living process without it itself being altered) called glutathione peroxidase (glu'-tuh-thy-own purr'-ox-uh-dase) to stop destructive free radicals (dangerous oxygen compounds formed in the process of living as fat stores are maintained, and from environmental pollution and when fats are fried) from interfering with or causing mutations (defective or enemy cells) during normal cellular division. (Another word to describe what the Selenium in Quack Grass is doing here is the word, antioxidant.) By stopping the formation of defective cells, this immediately suggests the use of Quack Grass to prevent formation of cancerous cells. This explains why earlier herbalists have reported using Quack Grass for such a variety of conditions. Certainly, we know many animals eat Quack Grass when they are sick. Cats eat Quack Grass to throw up hair balls. (No, you do not have to have hair balls to take Quack Grass.) Quack Grass is used to clean out the bladder and urinary tract. For men, Quack Grass can reduce swelling of the prostate gland. For this purpose, Quack Grass combines especially well with the herb Saw Palmetto. Quack Grass also dissolves the acids which torment joints and kidneys and cause gout. DOSE:40 to 80 drops 3 times per day. As a maintenance, 40 to 80 drops per day.
