Potato juice is much more effective than other modern medicines. It helps in the treatment of diabetes, high blood pressure, gastritis and other diseases such as cancer.
Potato juice
The beneficial value of raw potatoes has been well known among healers for many centuries, yet we still often think that we should not eat raw potatoes. In fact, this is a huge mistake, because raw potatoes are a very healthy and extraordinarily useful food for the human body.
Peel
It is important to mention that some potatoes need to be peeled before consumption. Unripe potatoes with green skin and potato sprouts can be dangerous. The danger lies in the content of solanine – a poison found in the sprouts and green parts of potatoes. However, in such a potato the peel can be easily removed before use.
Expert opinion
A number of medical experts, including John Lesindzer and Dr. John Tucakova, have written many interesting articles about the healing properties of potato juice.
John Lesindzer believes that this juice is the best natural remedy for gastritis, one of the most common diseases of modern times.
Lesindzer recommends taking 1 tablespoon of homemade potato juice with a small amount of water 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner. He also states that to treat stomach and duodenal problems you should take on an empty stomach ½ dcl of potato juice and ½ dcl 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.
Dr. Kagamine, a professor of medicine at Akita University in Japan, conducted a study in which he succeeded in isolating a basic component of raw potatoes. He found that this substance was effective in suppressing the growth of tumor cells in mice. The results of this study were published at the international congress for the fight against cancer, which was held in Germany.
Importance of potatoes
The importance of potatoes as an effective tool in the fight against kidney and liver diseases, as well as in the case of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, lower back pain, rheumatism, etc., is growing nowadays.
