Before I tell you about the pain relieving red beet and how to get the benefit, first let me tell you why I am telling you.
Many of the visitors here know that I have switched my nursing career to that of Holistic Nursing.
I am constantly studying and looking for the foods and food combination’s that help people with various pains.
Why buy medicines or even pay for supplements when you can eat foods that will help you manage or even eliminate pain.
One of the first pain relieving vegetables I discovered is red beets. There are two criteria for them to work.
One you must eat them raw. Do not peel them or cut the skin off. Rather, scrub the skin and then slice, dice or shred. They can be mixed with coleslaw. Even the mayo in the coleslaw will help with the pain management.
One of the keys to working, you have to chew the beets in your mouth. Just juicing the beets may not provide as much benefit. This is because the chemical that the body uses is best absorbed into the blood stream in your mouth, not in your gut.
No, there is no study to show this but in the patents I have worked with, this seems to be one of the factors that makes it work over just juicing and drinking the juice.
Next, I recommend only taking one or two beets a week with a break in between. This has been discussed before and there will be more on why in later posts.
Finally, and this is just emerging…for me, some times the beets do not work and sometimes they do. What is the reason for the difference?
Considering where I bought the beets, it turns out that some are Round Up Ready GMO beets and some were locally grown organic.
The price difference was so little, it did not matter. The effect was dramatic however.
It is important to get organic beets and not GMO beets if you want the full effect. There is increasing evidence that the GMO as well as the Round Up use cause health problems including birth defects.
How well does it work?
Here is a testimonial sent from Whitehall, Pennsylvania from a woman who has arthritis pain and was looking for natural pain relief.
Hello Jonathan,
I am thanking Jehovah for you being a part of my life and introducing me to raw red beets. I have had them in my daily salads for over a month now and a lot of my pains have disappeared.
Regards,
EB
