Wheat grass to help after chemo

My sister just told me that cancer survivor friends of hers said wheat grass is a great for helping flush through the chemo.  Has anyone else tried this and had good, or not so good results?  I am finding the chemo to take more out of me than the radiation; just had second chemo at midpoint of my 7 week radiation.

    Hi King Welcom to CSN

     

    There are a lot of herbal meds you can take after treatment to help get rid of the poison in your body from chemo. I prefer Lemon Grass or Bitter Melon myself; I grow it in my back yard and still take it now and then as a relaxer. Works great for me.
