Valentine Day - A Day for All Who Seek Better Health
Pines International wishes everyone a Happy Valentine Day. We hope everyone will use this special day to rejoice in healthy food choices for ourselves and those we love. There is no better way to express our love than to support eating more of the darkly pigmented foods. Those are the kinds of foods that doctors have associated with good health and long life. A diet rich in organically-grown, antioxidant foods doesn't have to be expensive. A fifty cent serving of any of Pines' green super foods provides more nutrition than a dollar’s worth of other greens. That includes such choices as spinach, kale and other dark greens leafy vegetables.
Charles F. Schnabel, Sr.[/caption] The late popular wheatgrass enthusiast, Steve Meyerowitz, “The Sproutman,” called Schnabel “the father of wheatgrass.” That’s because Schnabel and other scientists unlocked the secrets of wheatgrass and other cereal grasses. It was their whole food cereal grass powders that doctors and hospitals used for wheatgrass research. That research has served as the scientific basis for using wheatgrass. Authors praised it in books by Meyerowitz, Ann Wigmore, Viktoras Kulvinskas and other wheatgrass proponents. At the time he started his research, poultry farmers were lucky if 30% of their chickens laid eggs each day. He wanted to increase their production. Schnabel tried many vegetables including the greens from turnips and mustard with no success. Three years later in 1930, Schnabel dried some young cereal grass leaves harvested just before the jointing stage. He added a small amount of the grass powder to the food for 106 hens. Suddenly, he started gathering more than 100 eggs each day. As a scientist, Schnabel was anxious to try the unjointed cereal grass on other animals, including humans. As a result, he started a company to research these grasses for animal feeds. He also started a company called, "Cerophyl." It would supply dried grass tablets and powder for human research. Medical Journals published dozens of studies showing how effective it was. Pines brought back the dried whole food wheatgrass powder in 1976. We still follows Schnabel's standards, using many of his same fields and one of his labs.
