Give a brief of your Business/ Organization and how has been your journey so far?
There was a time when people were only business-oriented and they focused only on the financial aspects of their pursuits, but the world has come to change wherein there are several who strongly believe in genuine earnings and in giving back to the society.My husband and I are not running a “business”or an “organization”. It is just the two of us, and we decided to undertake a semi-social cause given the constraints. Along with my house course we help friends and people understand the value of healthy eating.We are growing wheatgrass and providing it for health benefits. Wheatgrass is grown from wheat berries and when it is five to six inches tall, it is cut, packed, and delivered to health-conscious people, who extract its juice fresh and consume it.Since all over India, vegetables and fruits are grown with chemicals, fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides, there remains no need to ask the reasons behind so many people suffering from deadly diseases.
Deeba’s wheatgrass is grown indoors in conditions suitable for growth of wheat berries and we are probably the only ones to grow it 24X7. There is no question of any additives, fertilizers, or medicines as home grown ones does not need it. The only fertilizer used is vermicompost made at home from food and vegetable scrapings and dry leaves.The journey so far has been extremely satisfying and the awards are in the form of blessings from all the consumers.
It was a remarkable and daunting experience to handle 400 patients and more than a hundred healthy people on a regular basis. There are many Cancer patients and healthy people whose medical reports (on consumption of wheatgrass on regular basis) took me by surprise. An 81-year old Cancer patient (Dadaji as we called him) from Bihar was refused Chemotherapy by the doctors because of low haemoglobin (6.4 gm/dl). His grandson heard about wheatgrass and I started providing it to him. Within 20 days his haemoglobin level reached 8.6 gm/dl and doctors accepted him for the treatment.While Dadaji was undergoing Chemotherapy, it went up to 9.5 mg/dl and then to 11.2 gm/dl and his health improved drastically. The doctors were stunned with the work wheatgrass was doing. One of the most rewarding and satisfying moments of my life has been when Dadaji expressed his gratefulness for feeling like he had been gifted with life again.This is just one of the many miraculous experiences my husband and I have been through. There is nothing more beautiful in this world than the feeling of helping others, guiding them and improving their lives.
The origin of wheatgrass was its consumption in the freshest form. Grow, cut and chew or juice and consume immediately. However, people started growing it with chemical fertilizers and drying it in forsaken places, powdering it and filling it in branded bottles for high prices. We decided never to leave our ways of doing good and kept providing fresh wheatgrass. Our procedure – Grow, harvest, conceal in food grade bags and deliver to be consumed within one week. There is where we are because of not spending on advertisements or marketing, but it still spreads like wildfire because my patients are my biggest advertisers and brand promoters. One more thing make us different from others is my strict dose management and free diet counselling. I never let go of my patients’ hands till they are in good health.
We can understand the pathetic condition of why such a huge number of Indian citizens are suffering from health problems and chronic diseases and the sad side is that they don’t even realize what they are serving themselves in their plates. The taste buds take over the functioning of the brain and the deal is closed. Tomato ketchup was just an example but look at every food item in the same manner and decide for yourself and for the sake of your family.
It is reasonable to say that most of us can grow tomatoes at home, but I would also say that we must be sensible while choosing our food items at the supermarket. Those who can afford it should keep a gardener and grow their vegetables at home.
What inspires us is that there is a need of the hour to serve the society and save it from the grip of poor health and misinformation and we feel that someone has to stand up to support. Definitely, it is the unlimited faith in Deeba’s Wheatgrass shown by friends and patients that keeps us going on.
Our aim is to disseminate the knowledge of Wheatgrass in such a manner that even the healthiest of the lot understands its value and consumes it on a daily basis so that they remain healthy.We shall be happiest when we finally see every house owning a Wheatgrass Juicer and citizens understanding the remarkable and miraculous benefits of Wheatgrass. People are gradually becoming aware of these benefits and in a few years, Deeba’s Wheatgrass shall ideally own a special place in every household refrigerator.
