Dandelion is a flowering plant
that is widespread distributed in every part of the world. The plant is
considered to be a weed, but has many healing properties. The root and the
leaves are both used medicinally.
The root of dandelion is rich in minerals
such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, silica, sulphur and chlorophyll.
Also, contains inulin and mucilage, which improves the function of the
digestive system, absorb toxins from the food, cleanse the liver, etc. The
leaves are also rich in minerals and vitamins such as C, A, K, B1, B6 and E.
These facts for the plant are well
known for years. But recent studies have shown new exciting facts about
dandelion root.
A recent research has demonstrated
that dandelion root have killed up to 98 % of the leukemia cells in laboratory
tests, after only 48 hours.
Dr Carolyn Hamm from the Windsor
Regional Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada explained that extract from the
dandelion root was the only thing that can help with chronic myelomonocytic
leukaemia.
A patient named John Di Carlo after his aggressive and unsuccessful
treatment for his leukaemia was sent home to spend “the last days” of his life,
was advised to try tea from a dandelion root. Within four months, he was in a
remission and his doctors associated his success to his using dandelion tea.
Also, eminent herbalist Maria Treben recommends dandelion root tea for many
diseases, including different types of cancer.
Studies showed that dandelion root
extract acts very fast on the cancerous cells, in such a way that they
disintegrate within 48 hours, during which time new formed healthy cells in the
body are not affected.
Further studies have found that
dandelion root extract has a potent anticancer activity against prostate
cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, leukaemia, liver cancer and best of all
lung cancer. There are not significant effects on skin cancer and brain cancer.
The immune system is controlling
cancer cells in the body. If the immune system is healthy, usually cancer
doesn’t appear. When the immune system is down, the body loses control of the
cancer cells and cancer appears. The powder from dandelion root has a potent
phytochemical that builds up the blood and the immune system. Doctors try to
remove the cancer from the body with chemotherapy and radiation. By doing so,
it destroys the immune system and appetite. These two are the most important
things the body needs to beat cancer.
How to pick the
dandelion root?
You can harvest dandelion root at
any time of the year. After you pull off from the ground, cut the leaves off
and gently remove the earth around the root. Make sure do not damage it and
don’t wash it. After that, dry the root on around 100 degrees on a sun, or you
can use an incubator with no water. The whole drying procedure will take around
5 to 6 days. If you break the root, and it snaps, it is ready for use.
Dried dandelion root keeps its
active chemicals up to a year. Always store the roots in a glass jar in a cold
and dark place.
It is the best to use dandelion
root in a form of powder. You can take a little over a half teaspoon of the
powder once a day at any time and mix it with water. Do not use it in soft
drinks or anything hot. After three to four days, you will start to feel good,
nothing else. In most of the cases, this will build up the immune system in
about three weeks. After that, the immune system will take control of cancer
cells and will stop its spreading. You should not expect a miracle because this
is not an overnight cure so it will take a time until the body removes the
cancer.
