Whoever would have thought the humble wheatgrass sprout would take the lead in healing ulcers caused by leprosy?According to a field study we are running in India, it appears this may well be the case. Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by “Hansen’s bacillus” a bacteria in some ways similar to the one that causes tuberculosis. Contrary to popular belief, it is not highly contagious and is in fact not an easy disease to contract.Modern pharmaceuticals have had a dramatic effect on reducing global prevalence of the disease but unfortunately do little to heal the skin ulcers that can complicate the condition. The sociological consequences of these skin lesions can be substantial as many sufferers are ostracised by families, friends and communities for misplaced fear of becoming infected themselves. Some ulcers last for 30 years or more and so far no effective remedy has been found to heal them. As our study progresses, it is becoming increasingly clear that the wheatgrass extract I use in daily clinical practice (we are using the commercial wheatgrass lotion every second day) is showing great promise. On my recent trip to India to learn about leprosy and observe the clinical trial, many doctors who specialise in the treatment of leprosy were amazed at our results so far. As one remarked, “Dr. Chris, you have given hope to millions.” I am rightly proud of the results and excited at the possibility that we can make life significantly better for at least some sufferers of this dreadful, deforming disease.
