Cleveland Clinic Recommends Dr Wheatgrass Superbalm
Dear Dr Reynolds, it is not normal for me to write to a company about their products, but I thought I would do so in this instance, because we are so completely enamored with your product.
My husband was recommended to use DrWheatgrass by two surgeons at the World Renowned Cleveland Clinic Health Centre. You see my husband plays competitive co-ed and men’s soft ball at 52 years old and has suffered everything from back aches to muscle pulls and some arthritis…. Actually, I think my husband should be the “Poster Child” for your products.
We have used a lot of your product for his softball ailments, both temporary and permanent. The key is that it truly helps relieve the pain. With regards to 2011, we used your product quite liberally to keep him playing through season. Although your product is no alternative for surgery, it was a great stop gap, until he played through the summer season.
We have tried over the counter remedies in the past 6 years such as Aspercream, Castiva, Arnica, Blu Emu, Precise and Blue Goo, along with local drug store brand formulas. However we have found the best results by using DrWheatgrass. Additionally I like the fact that they do not have a bad medicine or hospital smell as some products do.
Thank you so much for your time to read my letter and thank you for your fine product. We will no doubt continue to purchase this product for a long time. Very Sincerely,
AFL Football Star Steve Wright* Gives Wheatgrass The Thumbs Up
(*Senior Coach, Highett Football Club, Victoria; Ex-player South Melbourne, Sydney Swans; Ex-coach North Ballarat, TAC Cup, SANFL)
“Last season, 2008, was a difficult year for the players, because of the lack of pre-season training, general fitness and ground conditions. Even with these setbacks, we didn’t appear to suffer many soft tissue injuries or have players out for any length of time because of these injuries.
In all my other coaching experience I have not seen or used a product as good as Dr Wheatgrass for treating injuries.”

Highett FC Trainers' appraisal of Dr Wheatgrass' 2009 Season Performance
From a Personal Trainer
Hi Dr Chris - Have been meaning to do a testimonial for ages, so here it finally is! I have worked at the same gym for 7 years and never in all that time have I known the owner to stock or promote any supplements of any description! My boss doesn't believe in it because she sees a lot of people have been ripped off by gym owners upselling things that quite frankly promise the world and don't work.... We had a participant come in raving about your Superbalm - shared some sachets with us and the word has spread like wildfire... We're proud to stock and sell your products because they really and truly work. Many a time, even during the class, people will apply some Superbalm and it will miraculously fix things (or at least provide some relief, depending on the ailment). Apparently the Supershots prevent hangovers the next day.... sore baby bunny ears and feet are soothed, in-grown toenails healed .... improved immune systems.... less (or no!) colds and coughs (even when everyone around us is sick). Thanks and kind regards.

Non-healing penetrating injury
I originally ordered the superbalm for my boyfriend for his fissure - it was amazing! Completly got rid of it in a matter of weeks with results immediately. When we found such good results, he started to use it on an injury he has on his back which was from falling on a nail in 2008. This caused tissue damage in the wound and has been an open weeping wound since 2008. He had to constantly keep clean and dry and keep a patch on it. He was told by specialist that this will never heal on its own and is booked in for a $10,000 operation in April. So within a week of using this superbalm on it, he noticed it stopped weeping and the skin started to close over....now he is noticing the colour is changing ad its starting to heal up more and more by the day. He is now for the first time since 08 not wearing a patch on it. He is over the moon!

Muscle fatigue and cramps
Tried your suggestion (for muscle cramps) with immediate success! Thanks.
B. D. Australia. 13 March, 2012
Hi Dr Chris I can absolutely vouch for Superbalm relieving legs cramps, almost immediately. I'm singing the praises of Dr Wheatgrass all the time to friends and family I think it's an amazing product! Kind Regards
D. N. Australia. 10 March, 2012
I've been using the Superbalm before and after gym training myself and absolutely love it. It's really great for soothing muscles after a workout.
D. M. Japan. 5 December, 2011
My son plays Junior AFL, playing mainly in the midfield spends most of the game running. In the last couple of years, in the last 1/4 or so of the games, he has started to cramp in the calf's, mainly the Right. Also, another factor that has popped up is that it mainly only happens in the night games. (possible dehydration also??) We started treating it with the Wheatgrass (Superbalm), and almost from the first few goes, he said he noticed a difference. We started using everyday, on both calves. His comments were that he noticed a lot less fatigue in the lower legs when excessive running done.
Over a period of a month or so, the cramping has virtually disappeared, he still cramps when he pushes his body real hard, but the severity or intensity has lessened.. A HUGE Improvement.
The biggest test came a week ago, he had a game, a hot day and I hadn't had the time to rub in some of the Wheatgrass. The Sports Medicine guy came over to Clancy and offered to rub his problematic calf, which he did, and only that one. By 1/2 way thru the last quarter of footy, the problem calf was fine, no problems what so ever, but the other one, which didn't get the wheatgrass or rub that day, was starting to cramp and became a problem.
That day settled it for me, I am a true believer in the product, and sell its good work to anyone that will listen and when the talk comes around to treating injury, its always the first product I swear by. A true convert.
REGARDS and Thankyou.

Shin splints, osteitis pubis, plantar fasciitis etc.
Wheatgrass helped this sportsman with chronic injuries because he was prepared to persevere with it for 11 months. (Most of the following exchanges occurred on Injury Update Forum)
With Superbalm I can say it does help. I use it for my plantar fasciitis and it has helped along with my knee pain as well. I use it around my adductors, abdominals and groin area as well and if use it on a regular basis it has shown to be helpful. Not sure if it is a complete cure for OP but it helps with it and really helps if you have other injuries like the ones I have stated including shin splints.
B. S. Western Australia. 14 March, 2010
Progress report (1)
I can say that there has been improvement in both OP pain and Plantar Fasciitis pain while I use the cream. I have also noticed it took away pain from my other injuries (the odd shin pain from shin splints I had and ITBS and the knee pain i get) Currently I am contemplating whether it is working long term or not. I can say for certain it is a good temporary reliever of pain.
B. S. Western Australia. 19 May, 2010
Progress report (2)
I can say using superbalm has helped my progress with all of my injuries. I feel using this cream after a Miritis massage has done alot in my progress as I have severe OP. I can say for sure it temporary takes away the pain from the groin when I use it and I am in the process of seeing if it worked long term.
I have felt I have got the best results from using it with plantar fasciitis (foot / heel injury) and I would much rather rub in some cream (when) I get pain instead of taking pain killers which do nothing to help the long term.
B. S. Western Australia. 24 May, 2010
Progress report (3)
So basically after suffering Osteitis Pubis for 56 months along with ITBS, 2x of shin splints, plantar fasciitis, adductor tendinitis, psoas tendinitis along with some minor hip problems which still are not as flexible as they once use to be I will be returning back to football later this week. All of my injury problems are much greatly improved and basically it is just now time to see how the body holds up within the first few week of training. I still can't believe I wasted almost 5 years of my life with injuries with the only positive to come out of it was I could focus most of my attention on my university studies which is something I would not have done had I stayed playing sport. I am still probably a little under done with my fitness and muscle strength but I don't plan to train the house down.
B. S. Western Australia. 1 February, 2011
I'm glad to hear you're able to return to sporting activity at last. A month or so ago you mentioned here that Superbalm had helped relieve your shin splints and a couple of other sports-related symptoms. Do you think it may have contributed in some way to your overall recovery?
Dr. Chris Reynolds. 2 February, 2011
It would be ignorant of me if I said that superbalm didn't contribute to the healing in some of my injuries as I do believe it has had some effect. But I have also had chiropractic treatments as well to assist me with my injuries. But I can say for certain that superbalm does eliminate the pain in various parts of the body 9/10 and only in severe cases do I need to pop a pain killer or two. When I do get some shin soreness, foot soreness, groin soreness ect I do apply some superbalm and the pain does go away. So I guess in saying this I am happy with the product and will continue to use it when I feel a bit of soreness around the body.
B. S. Western Australia. 7 February, 2011
Thanks for your forthright response. I agree with you, it is often difficult to determine which of a number of treatments works for anything. Nonetheless, it is very encouraging to know you're happy with the Superbalm, especially for your groin soreness, which is how this conversation began.
Dr. Chris Reynolds. 9 February, 2011
No worries Dr Chris. I use it usually before and always after training sessions and it does help with the soreness so as I said I am happy with the product.

Muscle soreness, bruising
We have been using wheatgrass cream for several years now for all skin irritations and some for muscle soreness. It reduces the pain to virtually nothing within a few minutes of application. With muscles, if appled prior to exercise it can help prevent injury. If applied immediately after an injury it prevents the injury from bruising.

Motorcycle injuries
Dr, I slipped down from the motorbike at a speed of 70kms per hour. Your super balm sachet helped me a lot it was a miracle. I applied on the scratches and it is so effective on pains immediatley I applied on the bruises. Thank god I could drive the bike without pain. The credit goes to wheatgrass, it is a wonder.

Shoulder injury - torn muscle
I had an operation on a torn muscle in my right shoulder. For nearly 12 months after the operation I was still having a lot of pain. I had to have a pillow under my arm to sleep at night and doing any work with my arm caused pain. I was ready to see a specialist for pain management when I was introduced to wheatgrass cream. I had it rubbed into my shoulder twice a day and also did light exercise. Now after five months I can lift my arm over my head and am free of pain.

Sprained ankle
I have tried your wheatgrass spray on a very swollen ankle after a fall(approx 3 times normal size), it was completely gone the next day! No ice used. I recommend your products to everyone.

Head hematoma (bruise)
In November I had attended a triathlon in Brighton where I saw a stall advertising the Dr Wheatgrass products. On the Saturday, the day before the triathlon, I had been hit quite hard in the head and had a large lump on my head which was very red and obvious to all. I noticed the stall and the pictures on display. I spoke with Malcolm and he informed me of the benefits of using the product. I used the super balm and within about one hour the lump and redness had disappeared significantly and by the next day I was able to attend work and no one noticed or commented, it was only when I mentioned it did a staff member notice. I can highly recommend the use of the product and thank Malcolm for his advice. Thanks.

First aid
We've had several years of experience using your wheatgrass products. It's the thing that we most often reach for in the first aid box. My husband recently burnt the back of his hand on a hot starter motor. A huge blister started to appear - cold water treatment and wheatgrass cream were applied and the following day there wasn't even a blister. I have had numerous wasp stings and the cream almost instantly relieves the intense pain and also reduces swelling. We've used it for the relief of strained muscles, sunburn, mouth ulcers and in fact just about any pain you can think of. It's something I would never want to be without. We keep it in the workshop, house, car glovebox and handbag, and even take it camping with us. The biggest problem is remembering that it is so useful and to use it! If in doubt, try it out. Thanks for such a practical product.
L. S. Australia. 15 May, 2008I used the Skin Recovery Spray on myself after my horse pushed me over on a stoney piece of our drive and I grazed down my arm with some deep gouges. It was all I had close to hand so I used it to flush the wound. Worked fantastically, I only covered it for two days and 10days later the scabs have gone and the skin is pink and healthy and level in the gouges and the rest looks like normal!! I'm definately getting some for the 1st aid kit - thank you.

Ankle fracture
You may remember me telling you that one of the girls here broke her ankle playing netball and you suggested using WG around the top and bottom of the plaster, amazing as it may seem, this action helped her with the pain and the healing process, so much so that the plaster came off earlier than expected and the surgeon is now debating the need for the plate and screws he inserted at the time and is planning to remove it after Christmas, Thank You for the advice.

Hamstring injury
I have been using Dr Wheatgrass cream to treat a number of football injuries. The cream appears to benefit soft tissue injuries.
About six weeks ago I had a player who strained his hamstring at training on a Tuesday night. The muscle was painful on palpation, and stretching. He also had a marked weakness on muscle contraction and was painful on contraction against resistance. I started treatment with Dr wheatgrass cream by massaging the painful area, and applying ice. I advised the player that he has hamstring strain and would not play next Saturday. I would continue to treat the hamstrings injury on Thursday night.
On Thursday night the player was pain free, and had regained full strength in the muscle. I provided more treatment with Dr Wheatgrass cream and then put the player through a number of running tests. He passed all the tests and felt no discomfort in the muscle.
The player played the following Saturday with no effect on the hamstring muscle and has continued to play the rest of the season. Thank you for your product.

Injury
Yet another personal victory for WG cream. Some weeks ago, I was getting into my car after work. Just as I was almost in the car, someone called out to me. I quickly turned around and banged the bridge of my nose on the car door. Stars, tears, cold sweats etc. Nearly knocked me out. It was bleeding, swelling and I could hardly breathe. It was almost impossible to wear my reading glasses from the pain. I expected it to be black & blue from bruising. I immediately applied WG cream when I arrived home from work. 3 hours later - no pain - no swelling - no bruising etc. Next morning you would not know that it had happened except for the broken skin on my nose.

Back pain
I did a lot of heavy work by moving stones in my garden. I suffered pain in my upper and lower back and was intending to book into the chiropractor after the weekend. A friend rubbed some of Dr Wheatgrass cream on my back and I was totally amazed when about one hour later the pain was gone. I will be buying this product as a standby for any future occourrences. Thank you.
