Professor Moro's Carrot Soup
In 1908, diarrhea killed many babies in Germany. Professor Moro, at that time the head of a children hospital in Heidelberg, found out by experiment that a simple carrot soup decreased the death rate of babies suffering from diarrhea by nearly 50% . The soup was made by pureeing 500 grams of peeled carrots in a blender, adding 1 liter of water, and then cooking it for one hour. After cooking, 3 grams of salt were added, along with enough water until the soup pot contained a total of 1 liter of liquid.

A German study published in 2002 outlines that acidic oligosaccharides formed in aqueous extracts from carrots (carrot soup) may lead to less adherence of bacterial agents to the mucosal wall of the bowel, thus being a more effective treatment for acute gastrointestinal infections of children than glucose-electrolyte-solution oral rehydration. PMID 12244882
Abstract. Adherence of microorganisms to the intestinal mucosa is an important and initial step in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal infections and mediated by carbohydrate structures on the cell surface. Adherence can be blocked by carbohydrate receptor analogues. Aqueous extracts from carrots (carrot soup) contain acidic oligosaccharides, which are able to block adherence of various enteropathogenic microorganisms to HEp-2 cells and human intestinal mucosa in vitro. Dependent on the grade of polymerisation the most potent blocking ability was seen for trigalacturonic acid. Clinical studies revealed, that aqueous carrot extracts are significantly superior to the basic glucose-electrolyt-solution for oral rehydration in acute gastrointestional infections of children.

In 2009, experiments showed that Professor Moro's Carrot Soup can treat diarrhea caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A working group around Guggenbichler and the Viennese pharmacologist Professor Johann Jurenitsch has elucidated the mechanism of action: during cooking, acid oligosaccharides are formed which resemble the receptors of the intestinal epithelium and are attached to pathogenic nuclei.

They function as analogues, which block the receptors of the germs and thus prevent their adhesion to the intestinal wall. Consequently, the pathogens are excreted, according to Guggenbichler at the request of the "medical newspaper".

EHEC patients may also benefit from taking the Moroccan carotid soup several days a day for a few days at the start of bloody diarrhea.

To prepare the soup: 500 g of peeled carrots in one liter of water for one hour, then press through a sieve or purge in a blender, add boiled water to a liter and add three grams of cooking salt.



Looks like boiled carrot could be more effective to get rid of endotoxins and undesirable strains of bacteria . Personally I hate boiled carrot since my childhood, I think due hypothyroid issues.

Children have better metabolism than us adults so the anti-thyroid effects from carotenes might not have affected their metabolism that much and they were instead able to convert them to the bio available vitamin A.

In Poland every doctor recomends cooked carrots with butter for intestinal issues not raw. Half a kilo with one tablespoon of butter.
