I clean and feed the bunch of dandelion greens like the spinach and parsley. I fold them in half and feed them into the juicer. I use one entire bunch of dandelion as you buy it in the store. I use about 3 bunches of parsley for one big container for the entire familly. You know, many families, I've noticed, get the same type of cancer and that tells me it is diet caused, but I am not a doctor and I am just making a personal comment. This means one person gets cancer . . . the entire family needs to juice together.
Dandelion has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells, it has been shown to help with Diabetes, and it is healthy for the liver and the digestive system.
Health effects
Dandelion has inulin and is indigestible by the human enzymes ptyalin and amylase, which are adapted to digest starch. As a result, inulin passes through much of the digestive system intact. It is only the colon that bacteria metabolise inulin, with the release of significant quantities of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and or methane. Inulin-containing foods can be raher gassy, particularly for those unaccustomed to inulin, and these foods should be consumed in moderation at first. I recommend this if you are a diabetic as my thoughts are if you haven't been eating these special foods don't for sure drink it. You must eat first and watch and go from there according to what is happening to you blood sugar levels. You have to understand cancer and diabetis is so very different and if your starving for these foods start very slowly and work on increasing still very slowly. Stop all bad foods and veggies are best. Salads can be so delicious with Dandelion.
Inulin is used increasingly in foods because it has unusual nutritional characteristics. Its flavour ranges from completely bland to subtly sweet (approx. 10% sweetness of sugar/sucrose). It can be used to replace sugar, fat, and flour. This is particularly advantageous because inulin contains a third to a quarter of the food energy of sugar or other carbohydrates and a sixth to a ninth of the food energy of fat. It also increases calcium absorption and possibly magnesium absorption, while promoting the growth of intestinal bacteria.
Natural sources of inulin
Plants that contain high concentrations of inulin include: Elecampane (Inula helenium) Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Wild Yam (Dioscorea spp.) Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) Chicory (Cichorium intybus) Jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus) Burdock (Arctium lappa) Onion (Allium cepa) Garlic (Allium sativum).
CINNAMON
 CINNAMON
Cinnamon is one of the most popular and well known spices in the world. It also has unusually potent healing abilities that come from the substances found in the essential oils in its bark. A study reported by the journal Diabetes Care concluded that taking just a half teaspoon of cinnamon every day, radically reduces the level of blood sugar in people with Type II diabetes, as well as decreasing their triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels. Other health benefits associated with cinnamon include:
1) Aiding digestion 2) Relieving stiffness of muscles and joints 3) Killing harmful bacteria such as E. coli 4) Relieving menstrual cramps 5) Relieving arthritic pain 6) Preventing urinary tract infections 7) Relieving congestion 8) Increasing circulation 9) Increasing brain activity 10) Preventing tooth decay and gum disease 11) Toning of tissues
NUTMEG
 Nutmeg, a native spice of the Moluccas Islands in the South Pacific, has been known to have the following health benefits:
Just a really tiny amount of nutmeg: The very end of teaspoon only.
1) Lowers blood pressure 2) Soothes digestive upset 3) Eases joint pain and inflammation 4) Provides relief from diarrhea 5) Promotes concentration 6) Stimulates the cardiovascular system 7) Relieves pain from tooth aches 8) Relieves nausea 9) Relieves insomnia 10) Calms muscle spasms and anxiety 11) Helps remove toxins from the liver.
Although Nutmeg is very healthy, it should only be consumed in very tiny amounts, like the tip of a butterknife. Otherwise, it will be dangerious to ingest.
 CLOVES
Cloves are used frequently in gingerbread cookie, pumpkin pie, and even chili recipes for added warmth, sweetness and fragrance. But the active component in cloves volatile oils, eugenol, have made them the subject of numerous studies. The results of these health studies revealed the following ways in which cloves are helpful:
1) Acts as a mild anaesthetic 2) Acts as an anti-bacterial agent 3) Reduces inflammatory symptoms 4) Relieves symptoms associated with asthma 5) Relieves symptoms of rhuematism and arthritis 6) Eliminates intestinal parasites 7) Contains excellent sources of dietary fiber 8) Contains excellent sources of Vitamin C 9) Contains excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids 10) Contains good sources of Calcium 11) May stimulate creativity and mental focus 12) Prevents toxicity from environmental pollutants As you can see, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves have many therapeutic effects and add significant value to a healthy diet. However, it’s recommended that they not be eaten every day or you run the risk of developing an allergy to them. Also, spices are not necessarily a “cure” for disease, but are rather an adjunct to a healthy lifestyle.
Jesus, many times, healed people before he preached to them. I think it was because it helped to open their eyes to the teachings of God, through him. When your ill, especially with something as serious as cancer, you wake up, repent, and you see more clearly. You need to think more clearly and also appeciate all the wonderful product he created.
