That guy is strange. Poorly written and organized.

- "Claims to clear out parasites and lyme disease." end quote.
The author is VERY WRONG. This will NOT cure lyme. It will not kill parasites. Oh, it may loosen bowels and, yes, cinnamon can have some - some - antimicrobial effect but this is very wrong to reach any further conclusions.
As Carol says, the organization is very poor. It's impossible to read very far into this as it's such an unprofessional layout -- so I could not find the part where he "Claims to clear out parasites and lyme disease."
If you could copy and paste that and tell me which paragraph that is in, it would be good see exactly how he states that.
It's good to also be aware that too many beets can be hard on the kidneys. Variety, Moderation is key. -

- 1/2 beet a day is the top level my ND suggests. About 1/2 cup. Best mixed with lots of greens - and maybe some quinoa - to moderate the glycemic impact. -

I learned that beets are good for clearing up gall bladder issues. Last year I started having some terrible belching and pain in my right rib cage area, and in the course of trying to figure out what it was on the internet, I came across the possibility of gall bladder problems.
Upon further internet research, I found that eating beets could help relieve the problem. I bought a small can of beets, ate them, and my belching stopped. I was amazed. Now I eat a can of beets every once in a while, just to keep my gall bladder well.
However, it didn't cure my Lyme disease.

Please elaborate further on your troubles with belching.
For some time now, I have had to basically force myself to burp in order to relieve pressure in the center of my chest. When I do, I usually feel as if I can't get the last bit of it out, and I try several times to see if I can. Rarely, just by taking a breath I end up letting up a burp.
Also, I can hear a slight burp in my chest when I'm laying down sometimes.
Are these the same type of symptoms you were experiencing and cleared by eating Beets?
Good luck with your Lyme treatment, psano!

I wouldn't discount anything I find at earthclinic.com because I've had some remedies I got there work for me.
To find the lyme comment, just do a search 'lyme' on the page.

Beets do make me feel better. But they are
expensive when I can eat a jar in 2 days at 4.00 as
jar. Home canned are the best but I am not able.

- Fresh beets have more flavor, are less expensive and have more nutrition than those that have been canned. The smaller ones are much easier to clean and trim.
If leaning towards prepared beets, though, it's best to get in glass jars to avoid the metals and lining from cans.
Some varieties of canned or beets in jars have sugar added, so be sure to read the label. -

Interesting. I kind of skimmed the article. I think he calls for juicing the beets. Canned beets are very different than raw, fresh beets.
Time to get the juicer out again! It's such a pain but it seems worthwhile.
You only need a small piece (like 1/2 inch or so) of the raw beets for juice. It's not good to have too much. I think it can be too harsh on the kidneys if I recall correctly.
I'll have to go back & read the article more thoroughly. I don't think it's a cure for Lyme, though.

Seems like I recall that too sparkley. Like it can be poisonous in large amounts. I can't remember. But I love pickled baby beets.

I'd be willing to try the MBP for just making my grey hair go back to brunette.
also, roast beets are nice too.
Wolfed Out, what you describe sounds like what I was experiencing. The difference between this and occasional indigestion is that it started happening constantly for days.
I know canned beets aren't as good as fresh, but I was kind of desperate at the time, so I just bought the can and consumed it as soon as posssible to try it out. Also, it was just the smallest can, which you can't always find at the grocery store, about 4 oz, plus, I just got the generic store brand (very cheap, and almost always on sale). Really, the speed with which it stopped my belching was amazing.
I figured that after 5 years of antibiotic therapy, it was very possible that my gall bladder could have gotten plugged up, or irritated. Anyway, it seemed to have helped me. I don't know if that's the same problem you have, but it helped me, and it's a simple and all natural thing to try, so nothing to lose in trying.
