My husband is on high dosage of exjade right now as well, I want him to start taking wheatgrass to try to lower his levels - he has the blood test scheduled for tomorrow, but we think his ferritin is back up in the 3000 again The lowest level we've been able to get him to in 2 years is 1400. If wheatgrass will help, that will keep us from having to go back to the desferal infusions, which is what he was on last year for 9+months.

Alice P, would like to hear NIH's position on wheatgrass then!
