Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Similar. However the most anti diabetic portion is the greens. One of the most diuretic herbs (leaf) on the planet. The common compounds will be more concentrated in the root (more liver active) as a general rule. A similar list of compounds and benefits could be written for several hundred herbs, by the way. The average botanical contains over 10,000 phyto compounds. Many are similar within a single herb. So a tomato for instance contains over 60 different carotinoids, not just beta carotene. This is One of the reasons that supplementation with the individual compounds is generally inferior to consuming an herb. An example of this is vitamin E. Vitamin E has been defined as d alpha tocopherol because it was the tocopherol that was studied. Now they are finding out that some of the other tocopherols are more bio active (beta, gamma, etc.), not to mention some similar related compounds that are found along with the tocopherols called the tocotrienols (sp?). When taking an antibiotic, the organism has one chemical compound to attempt to survive and then adapt to. When taking an antibiotic herb it has a hundred... This is why bacterias have never been able to develop a resistance to the herbs. Cool huh?Dave gallstones@...: Fred.Niehaus@...: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:01:37 +0000Subject: Re: Dandelion's many health benefits.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 It does not need to be roasted in terms of benefit, in fact raw is better. If you are going to make tea however you will want to roast it for culinary purposes. Popular coffee substitute. It is also added to coffee like chicory for a very tasty blend. You can roast it in a dry pan just like coffee beans. Cast iron or something else with a lot of thermal mass is best, on a very low heat over a long time.Dave gallstones@...: vandalsem@...: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:23:00 +0000Subject: Re: Dandelion's many health benefits.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi everyone! I posted here before my experience with dandelion loeaves which I prepared myself. I learned this from a nurse that advocates alternative medicine. If you opt to prepare it yourself, select the plant that is not grown in polluted areas. the plant from leaves to roots arfe usefull. This is how to prepare the dandelion tea. chop the leaves, measure 1 cup water for every 6Table spoon of chopped leaves. Boil first the water before putting the chopped leaves then continue boiling for 5 min. You have now ready tea. Don,t use utensils that cotains lead, iron or metals. according to my nurse, the raw leaves are good for hepatitis..what to do with the boiled leaves after preparing the tea? You may garnish it with tomatoes and have a green salad!!! Be healthy.....elsie <vandalsem@...> wrote: > > > Make sure your dandelion comes from an organic source.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Dave, I use a product called " Dandy Blend " that is available at health food stores. It is a powder that can be mixed with hot or cold water. It contains roasted dandelion root, beet root, chicory root, barley, and rye. However, it doesn't appear to be organic. Do you think the benefits outweigh the fact that it is not organic? Or would you recommend staying away from it? Thanks. >> > Make sure your dandelion comes from an organic source.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hard to tell. It would be dependent on their source of dandelion mostly. The concern is only that it draws toxins (and nutrients up out of the soil. I know of a guy who had tended his yard organically for over ten years, harvested dandelion from it and still got ill. They assayed the dandelion to find that it contained high amounts of certain heavy metals). This is not scare tactics at all just a simple caution.Dave gallstones@...: Fred.Niehaus@...: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:58:28 +0000Subject: Re: Dandelion's many health benefits.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks for the detailed info Davemyster! I'm going to look for an organic dandelion tincture. Im also eating one organic dandelion leaf salad with raw grated beets, artichoke and olive oil with herbamare. Yumified I must say! Brad > > > Make sure your dandelion comes from an organic source.
