Diphtheria is a highly contagious disease caused by a bacterial infection. It is spread by the air when the infected person sneezes or coughs. Sore throat, swollen glands, fever and chills are the classical signs of Diphtheria. If not treated in time the bacteria produces a toxin which is very lethal to the heart and can cause paralysis. In later stages of the disease an adherent membrane (a pseudo membrane) on the tonsils, pharynx, and/or nasal cavity is formed. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, an aerobic Gram-positive bacterium. Diphtheria causes the progressive deterioration of myelin sheaths in the central and peripheral nervous system leading to degenerating motor control and loss of sensation. Diphtheria is a contagious disease spread by direct physical contact or breathing the aerosolized secretions of infected individuals. Once quite common, diphtheria has largely been eradicated in developed nations through widespread vaccination.

After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
