A Tribute To Dr. Ann
I truly admire Dr. Ann Wigmore. Whenever I order a shot of
wheatgrass, I feel like I personally know Dr. Ann. Wheatgrass juice makes me
healthier. I owe the opportunity of drinking it at my local co-op to Dr. Ann.
Thanks to her, people in the whole world can drink wheatgrass juice and enjoy
its countless healing benefits. I find it amazing how Ann Wigmore is continuing
to touch our lives many years after she has passed away, even though many of us
have never met her, or even heard her name.
Not only did Dr. Ann discover and thoroughly research the great healing
properties of wheatgrass, but she also developed and thoroughly described the
process of growing wheatgrass in trays at home or any location. She came up with
an inexpensive wheatgrass juicer to make this elixir of life available to
everyone.
I appreciate many of Dr. Ann's inventions which we all conveniently utilize in
our everyday lives while thinking that they have existed forever. Who remembers
today that raw gourmet food began with Dr. Ann's "seed cheese" and "raw soup"
recipes. She invented for us "nut milks" and dehydrated crackers, "almond loaf"
and "live" candy.
Dr. Ann introduced a variety of sprouts into our lives. She also came up with a
sprouting bag. Whenever my family travels, we always pack sprouting seeds to
guarantee a fresh supply of greens. Dr. Ann called sprouts Living Foods. It is
hard to imagine that these words didn't exist some time ago.
Dr. Ann discovered the many healing benefits of blending foods, especially
greens. Dr Ann Wigmore lived the last several years of her life almost
completely on blended foods, a large part of which consisted of greens. She
noticed that blended foods were assimilated more easily. For instance, she would
say about fruit, "If I have an apple, I will blend it instead of munch it,
because I don't want to waste its energy or mine." She observed that eating
blended food gave her superior health and cut her hours of sleep down to two
hours per night.
Before Dr. Ann, people utilized blenders for "insignificant" purposes like
whipping eggs and making cocktails. Today, we cannot imagine a raw food kitchen
without a powerful blender.
Dr. Ann Wigmore clearly saw the tight connection between organic soil and human
health, and she began promoting organic gardening and composting in the sixties
when most people were just beginning to embrace chemical fertilizers as the
future of agriculture.
I see Ann Wigmore's uniqueness in her ability to pay attention to a wide spectrum
of events, to explore living on this planet as one whole process, and to apply
her expertise to many different aspects of life. She didn't choose to be a
specialist in just one narrow field as many others have done. She dared to form
her personal opinion about everything she encountered, be it blood analysis,
colonic irrigations, fasting, food composition, bacteria, gardening, or drinking
water. Due to her all-inclusive vision, she was able to
create a healing system that has helped thousands of people.
Dr. Ann was known to work vigorously and productively She invented new ideas
daily. She kept herself in notably excellent shape, always running, never
walking, sustaining herself on just two hours of sleep per day. At the ripe age
of 82, Dr. Ann didn't have a single gray hair. This fact was so unbelievable
that her students asked her permission to study her hair in a lab to see if it
was dyed. The test proved that it was her natural color.
In addition to her profound research in the field of human health, Dr. Ann was
an animal rights activist, she fought against the fluoridation and chlorination
of drinking water, against chemical pollution, and many other things.
The latest discoveries in science prove Dr. Ann was right in the majority of her
predictions and recommendations. I believe the day will come when medical
students will study Ann Wigmore's books as they study Hippocrates today.
Dr. Ann is well recognized all around the world. In my travels I continue to
encounter people who ask me if I have heard of Dr. Ann Wigmore. This inquiry is
usually followed by an exciting story about another human life saved by Dr.
Ann's teachings. I doubt it is possible to calculate just how many lives this
brilliant woman has saved. She herself was one of the healthiest people on the
planet in the 20th century. Dr. Ann was living her talk and practicing in her
own life everything that she was teaching. Most of all, however, people who met
her in person remember her for her benevolent loving spirit.
