BEETS, THIS WAS IN MY NATURAL NEWSLETTER. THOUGHT I'D SHARE WITH YA'LL

Beets are an Alternative Cancer Treatment
by Kim Evans, citizen journalist

(NaturalNews) Beets are one of nature's wonder foods. They've recently been found to increase stamina during exercise by 16 percent and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Beets are known to break up cancers and tumors, and they're known to do so faster than the body can eliminate them.

In fact, in the 1950's, Dr. Ferenczi of Csoma, Hungary used beets exclusively to break up tumors in the body. He had considerable success, and tumors were often completely eliminated. However, he found if patients stopped drinking quantities of beet juice, tumors often reappeared. Dr. Ferenczi recommended drinking about a quarter gallon (2.2 lbs) of beet juice daily to break up tumors, and results were often seen in a few weeks or months.

Because beets can break up tumors so rapidly, it's wise to combine this therapy with other detoxification methods, like colon and liver cleansing, to help your body dispose of the waste released when cancers are broken down.

The key cancer fighting ingredient in beets is called betacyanin; it's what gives red beets their bright purple reddish color. Beets have also been found to increase detoxifying compounds in the body and make it easier for the body to detoxify itself in general. This, of course, adds to health.

Knowing this, perhaps you'll want to start consuming beets regularly? Juiced beets are great, and you can add sliced raw beets to any salad. Cooked beets are also a fabulous side dish or main meal.

To make delicious beets, just boil whole beets for about 40 minutes or until a fork can slide through them. Then just drain, slice and drizzle olive oil over them. Sprinkle with sea salt and for added flavor and nutritional benefits, chop and toss some fresh green onion and organic cilantro over the top.

Three or four large beets make a tasty meal, while one or two make a great side dish.

An estimated forty percent of the population is expected to have a problem with cancer, and tumors often grow for twenty years before they are diagnosed. Eating beets a couple of times a week, or more, can offer considerable protection from this serious problem.

Remember that only red beets will do the trick, and be sure they're organic. These days some beets are genetically altered, and genetically modified plants don't know how not to cross pollinate with neighboring varieties. Of course, nothing genetically altered will make you well; genetically modified foods will only make you sick.
