Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Dear Group As I recently mentioned in my 'raw meat safety' post, I've been making the Bieler Broth everyday for the last week or so to rebuild my adrenals, liver, etc. I first read of Bieler in Sally's book and have since, recently, read his 'Food is your Best Medicine'. I am confused about various inconsistencies. Does anybody have any thoughts or enlightening information with regard to the matters I mention below ? Bieler mentions zucchini as a wonderful source of sodium to rebuild the liver and says he used it in broths together with string beans (which I think are otherwise known as French beans) Sally, in reference to Bieler, mentions zucchini as a wonderful sodium source also but for rebuilding the adrenals, which Bieler says are best rebuilt with Phosphorus, particularly raw egg yolks. More importantly, having checked the USDA nutrient database it seems something is wrong with these conclusions. Of course, I know the USDA figures will be significantly lower than using foods grown in organic soil (such as I grow myself using manure,seaweed meal,etc) but assume the relative figures would still be useable. According to the database, zucchini is actually one of the lowest in sodium with just 3mg per 100g compared, for instance, with celery or peas with 87mg per 100g. Correlating the figures for various vegetables based on their figures, I would conclude that the best broth containing sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus would consist of Celery, peas, beetgreens, french beans and/or broad beans.
