fava beans

[Guest guest]

Hi Liz,

I have a strange but true remedy for eczema...

Fava beans.

 

Like I said, strange.

 

I discovered these beans as a remedy by accident. First of all, I

have peripheral neuropathy, which is similar to multiple sclerosis.

This winter, it got so bad, all I did was sit in my chair and shake

and cry. Because of the shaking, I looked up parkinson's on the

web. It is caused by a lack of dopamine, a " feel good/less pain "

chemical in the brain, one of the endorphins. It is treated with L-

dopa, a precursor to dopamine. The article went on to say, that fava

beans contained more L-dopa than the leading prescription, but nobody

wants to be cured by a bean.

 

Well, I found some fava beans at an Italian grocery store on the down

side of town. I bought a pound of them, and put a handful in water

to soak, like you woud do bean sprouts. (Soaking brings the bean to

life) The next day, I ate 2 beans (raw)at breakfast, lunch, and

supper. They taste a bit like chestnuts. It helped with pain.

Really, in 1 day.

 

I know this sounds off track, but bear with me.

 

I have been eating fava beans for about a month now, and i am able to

walk again. A side effect of L--dopa, it would seem, is the

production of HGH in the pituitary gland. HGH is being researched as

an anti-aging miracle. HGH injections are by prescription, and cost

thousands of $$$$$$. after puberty, HGH production is slowed down or

stopped, and we begin to age. HGH repairs tissue throughout the

body. My skin is soft and smooth, like it was 30 years ago. My

nails and hair are thicker. I used to have scaley legs and feet,

they were terrible, and also in my scalp, but it has all cleared up,

and you would never have believed it had been otherwise. Fava beans

cleared up my eczema! Who would have thought a simple bean could do

that?

 

FAva beans seem to be a cure all, because of the HGH benefit. They

help the body to cure itself. We've been told that our bodies were

made to repair itself, given the right nutrients. Fava has those

nutrients, and really does help with just about anything!

 

Do a search on fava, and l-dopa, and HGH and see what comes up.

 

FYI NOTE: One thing though, there is a very rare chromosomal

disorder called favism, that strikes some people of ancient greek

origin. People with favism are terribly allergic to fava beans.

Again, this is very rare, and a blood test can be taken to detect

it. People with favism lack the G6PD enzyme. I look at it this

way. There are people who are deathly allergic to peanuts, yet

peanut butter is sold on every grocery shelf.
