The beet root, beets, table beet, garden beet or red beet can help with pain, boost immunity and help promote your underlying health if you….(What you have to do will be at the end). First, let me tell you some experiences.
Beets do more than bleed into your mash potatoes. Beets have a compound that makes homocysteine (bad for you and your heart) turn into cysteine which your body turns into glutathione or GSH (a underlying good for health and wellness try peptide).
Putting it to the test, one of my patients had shoulder pain related to an old torn rotator injury. He ate 2 per week a few days apart.
The result, no pain. The pain was most likely a neuropathic pain. It was totally gone. A few days later it returned but very mildly.
So, trying it again, this time with a 50′s something man who refuses to go see the doctor but was complaining of gut pain for 2 months. Within several hours of eating the beet the pain was gone and stayed away, for about three weeks at this posting.
Note: It is possible that a simple test by the doctor would have found the reason. This kind of thing should be checked out by a doctor. If it is something like H pylori then the chances of successfully treating it are about 30% compared to over 90% with modern medicine.
Since H pylori causes cancer, seeing the doctor would be the safest route.
However, that being said, after three weeks on 2 beets a week he is doing great as well.
If you….
The key to making this work…You have to eat the beet raw. They have a consistency of carrots with the one distinction, they turn your fingers pink.
Make sure and clean and peel. To avoid risk of bacterial infections, blanch them before eating.
Beets are the anti cancer, pain managing, immunity booster vegetable, if you eat them raw.
Good health to you.
