You should notice your levels and intake of wheat grass juice. Variations of ferritin levels can occur, also climbing again after successful reduction. The long term results count.. There exists a study where patients were iron-chelated after a stem cell transplantation. They had very high ferritin-levels in the beginning. After one month of weekly or bi-weekly phlebotomies the ferritin-levels had decreased - from a very high start-point from e.g. 6000 to 4000 ferritin. But later then the decreasing of the levels was not so much anymore, and after having reached normal ferritin-counts and stopping the phlebotomies the ferritin- levels climbed up again, so that maintaince -phlebotomies were necessary to hold the level. I don t know if the situation with iron chelation with wheat grass is really comparable - but you should take in account that the short-time- results could variate.

What i know are only the results of the patients of the MDS study ASCO 2009.

From what i read the best results come from drinking the wheat grass juice fresh only a few minutes after harvesting. there are instructions on youtube how wheat grass can be grown easily at home. I also do this since a few weeks, because there is no shop for fresh wheat grass in vienna and the frozen one by post is too expensive. It is also important to take the wheat grass splitted up in 2 or 3 portions daily (like they did in the study).

Good luck,
