It is quite consistent It's interesting that you would share this, Michele. After my brief juice fast when I started having solid food again I've found that I'm " craving " salads. AND - a salad just isn't complete, lately, without beets. Isn't that interesting? I've liked beets before, but now it's like something inside me has been telling me to have some every day. Now I know why! I knew they were good for the liver, but I never knew this about thinning the bile. Thanks so much for sharing that! in health, rachel~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Hi Barry, I've just come across a couple of sites that mention products which you can buy for thinning the bile. One says " whole beets are an excellent way to thin the bile and limit the risk of gall stones. Whole beets will thin bile the way paint thinner thins paint. It is quite consistent. There are some supplements on the market that do this. We use two from Biotics Research. Beta TCP for patients who still have their gallbladder. It also has taurine, which is also useful for thinning bile. We also use a product that is 100% pure organic whole beet concentrate, which works quite nicely. For those patients without a gallbladder we use Beta Plus. http://www.mercola.com/1999/sep/12/exercise_prevents_gallstone_surgery.htm The product is sold con this site: http://www.naturmedicine.com/vitamina2.html $13.00 for 90 tablets Has anyone else used this?

Thanks Michele, Coptis to increase flow, Lecithin to break up fat intake, but what about thinning the bile itself? Anything for that?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 My pleasure - all tips can either be discarded or taken up - thats what is so fantastic about this forum. I'de never of found out about all sorts of products and proceedures without others suggesting them! Weird about the craving for beetroot! Apparently the leaves and stalks have 3 times as much goodness in than the beetroot itself - but I have failed to find any for sale like this as of yet. (UK pulls through again - not!) What a fantastic craving to have - could have been chocolate or chips so thats brilliant! (make the most of it whilst it lasts!!!!) Many thanks, Michele -----Original Message----- From: Rachd1961@...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Beets aren't hard to grow. Some good organic soil and water, the right time of year for temperature, and they do the rest.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Yep...they are very easy to grow...and there is nothing quite like the taste of freshly boiled beets...straight from the garden. Be warned...for those who haven't eaten large quantities, though. I am a bit of a beet addict and have, on numerous occasions, had very red wee! Just so you know...the first time it happens can be a bit scary until you realise why...LOL! Dax (in the UK) > Beets aren't hard to grow.
