GREAT LIVER CLEANSER BEETROOT
The vegetable that I most strongly recommend for general health
improvement and especially for those with cancer is beetroot. The
purple pigment has been shown to increase and normalise cell
respiration - the oxygen-based energy production within cells. Thus
beetroot is one of the key foods in preventing as well as curing
cancer. It is equally important in the treatment of other
degenerative diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome that are all
characterised by reduced cell respiration. .The active ingredient
in beetroot is called betacyanin with two carbonyl groups (C=0-).
What happens when cellular energy is produced through the oxidation
of nutrients is that electrons and hydrogen ions are transferred
onto the inhaled oxygen to produce water and energy. In cancer
cells and with chronic fatigue the respiratory enzymes that
accomplish this transfer have been diminished or destroyed. The
colour pigment in beetroot (and other purple food) strongly binds
electrons and hydrogen and with this can reactivate the production
of cellular oxidative energy. Seeger and others (1990) have shown
that the respiration of cancer cells can be completely normalised
by a combination of beetroot, raw fermented food and vitamin C. The
multiplication of cancer cells would thus stop, and tumours become
non-virulent. Clinical tests using beetroot with cancer patients
revealed that often tumours regressed and disappeared.Therefore use
plenty of beetroot grated in salads, juiced and cooked; also the
residue from juicing may be cooked. Occasionally a small root may
leave an acrid aftertaste.
Taste suspect roots before making salads or juice; cooking them is
fine, and beet tops may be cooked also. Tinned beetroot has lost
most of its pigments and is of little value.Beetroot may be
available only seasonally. You may store a larger quantity in moist
sand. Keep the tops exposed in a cool, shaded place with just
enough moisture to prevent drying out. After a good root system has
developed you may also let them continue to grow in a sandy and
well drained soil, neither too wet nor too dry to avoid rotting or
mould development, check frequently.
