Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi Wayne and others, Did you know that you should chew and eat the seeds of organic watermelons? They are chock-full of manganese and other trace minerals! Debbie deb http://www.bodyhealthcenter.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Wayne, Greetings! Watermelons are a natural diuretic and cleanse (92% water)! It's right up there with asparagus and spinach in my mind and is good for arthritis, uremic poisoning, skin problems, gout, anemia, kidney stones and nausea. Quite an impressive list. If I remember correctly it's high in potassium too. My husband was cured of kidney problems (related to diabetes) with watermelon and asparagus so I know it's quite healing! I had to do my own research regarding it...I think if we had to rely on the scientists for the truth, we'd be in a sorry state. :-) I doubt anyone would do a double-blind study on a watermelon, although at Harvard Public school of health, they did a study on oranges, focusing on the effects of vitamin C on various illnesses a few years back. Also the rind is extra high in chlorophyll,and is good for the glands and blood. Sucking on watermelon rind is good for motion sickness. Problem is, I can never judge if they're totally ripe. Do you have a good method for this? your crop sounds impressive!
