PeatFeat said:Are raw beets a good replacement for raw carrot salad? They are both root vegetables, so wouldn't beets have the same anti-fungal properties as the carrot as well as additional antioxidants?
Mittir said:RP once mentioned that he recommends carrots and bamboo shoots because he has seen scientific studies on these two. Other fiber might have the same ability to detoxify but you need studies for that to be sure. I read few studies online, where they showed all kind of fibers lower estrogen in females. They measured total fiber intake of meals, not just one single food.
RP advises to avoid soluble fiber, and carrot and beet both have almost 50% soluble fiber. It is the antiseptic ability of carrot that helps to clean the intestine. You can always experiment on yourself. I have noticed the benefits of carrot salad within minutes.

P.S. I no longer use the raw unfiltered vinegar, just the cheap ACV stuff from the store. I no longer add the cream of tartar either...I've personally caught up now. I no longer eat carrots either....but that's just me.
I know we're talking about fibre here, but once (before I found Peat), I drank a glass of beetroot juice (two whole juiced beetroots), and immediately got very strong unpleasant flu-like symptoms. Two of us drank this and both got identical reactions.
Symptoms were immediate sore throat, followed by nausea, headache, need to lie down. This could have been a strong detox. If so, the 'detox' lasted for a few days.
Take raw beetroot in small quantities is the lesson I learnt!
What about nitric oxide via beets?
Do you or anyone here know if boiling helps with this?^^^^this. Nitric Oxide. Beets no bueno.
What are you expecting? You can't get healthier.@Amazoniac
I ordered one flat pound of dehydrated beet root flakes because of your earlier post about bike acid binding. It came today and I had three round teaspoons worth in warm water. I'm expecting miracles, please don't disappoint.
