Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Our common red beet is a highly nutritious plant, The root is an excellent appetite stimulant and is easily digested. The root has been used to treat constipation, liver ailments, dysentery, skin disorders, anemia, menstruation problems, obesity, and nervousness. One therapy for leukemia and tumors is to consume a couple of pounds of raw, mashed beets daily. About ten percent of the beet root consists of a sugar that is more easily handled by the body than cane sugar and about a third of the root consists of starch and gum. The special value of the root is its effect on the liver and spleen. Some consume beets during an attack of the flu. Fresh Chard has been suggested as an aid in cases of constipation to stimulate the peristaltic action of the intestines. The tuber of the Jerusalem artichoke is used in cases of gas, constipation and biliousness and as a substitute for potatoes. As it is considered starchless it is used by diabetics who must watch their starch intake. To remove toxins from the kidney apparatus as well as kidney stones the parsnip has been used. It seems to be useful in cases of inflammation of the joints, colon, and nerves. The green bell pepper is especially good for liver disorders, obesity, constipation, high blood pressure and acidosis. The Sweet Potato is easily digestible and is good for inflammation of the colon or stomach and also for hemorrhoids. It is helpful to eat the sweet potato in cases of diarrhea and for problems of low blood pressure and poor circulation. Another good food for inflamed intestines, stomach ulcers and hemorrhoids is the Pumpkin. The pumpkin seed is much recommended for prostate problems, tape and other worm elimination and constipation. Radishes stimulate the appetite, are good for the hair and nails, teeth, gums and nerves. They help speed up recuperation from nervous exhaustion. Many have been helped in cases of constipation by eating radishes. Pulmonary disorders such as whooping cough, asthma, and bronchitis have been treated with the radish and its leaves. Chronic liver and gallbladder disease including gallstone and kidney stone afflictions have responded by eating the whole plant. The radish is good for vitamin C, D, and P deficiency. Summer Squash and Zucchini are good to use where there are problems with high blood pressure, constipation, obesity and for bladder and kidney afflictions. The Winter Squash has more nutrients than the Summer squash and is good for colitis, inflammation of the stomach or intestines, hemorrhoids and diarrhea. 100 grams of winter squash contain about 5,000 IU of vitamin A. The high vitamin A content makes the winter squash a valuable food for the winter time. Both pumpkin and squash can be applied as a poultice for burns, inflammation of the skin and abscesses. Squash seeds also are excellent for round and tapeworms. One recipe for expelling worms is to mash about an ounce of seeds and mix with honey. Take in three doses a half an hour apart then an hour later take an herbal laxative. Boiling squash seeds for a half an hour and then drinking the water has the effect of calming the nerves and helping in cases of insomnia and is good also for any urinary inflammation. The roots and leaves of the Turnip are recommended in cases of pulmonary disease, obesity, kidney stones, and gout as it promotes the elimination of uric acid. Drink a turnip broth for common colds and infections. Turnip roots have also been used to relieve nervousness and insomnia. Turnip greens contain about 9,500 IU per 100 grams. Eat the greens for cases of poor appetite, bronchitis, asthma, liver problems, bladder disorders, gout, high blood pressure and tuberculosis.
