Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 i juice carrots - and the 'problem' explained by some is that because of the high natural content of 'good sugar' in the carrot - it should be not drank by hypoglycemics or by diabetics. I have actually in personal experience not found this to be so. However,,, if a person is severely hypoglycemic - with the glycemic index of carrots being high - they should combine another vegetable or two to bring that index down. I use cucumbers and/or celery. Some people love spinach with it. wendy carrotsDo any of you eat carrots--does it affect you? Send blank message to candidiasis-unsubscribeonelist if you want to UNSUBSCRIBE !

I have never noticed any adverse effects with carrots - but that doesn't mean to say they are safe for everyone. I have a question of my own I hope no one minds a little teary (my tears) story: Mum and I have started the candida/rotation diet, and we both have allergies to phenol and glycerine, and Mum is allergic to formaldehyde (sp?) and office air (not that you'd find THAT in food) and I have an allergy to Corn (rated # 4 in the allergy test, out of 8, I looked at my chart again) and wheat (rated #6 - I'm REALLY sensitive to it). I'm sad enough as is because of the diet and for some reason my level of usual irritability has gone straight up and I feel like I'm going to cry all the time. I don't know if that's normal or what. I started taking some of my vitamins too: the Pro-C (it's this powder stuff that I put a 1/2 tsp in some water and have either before or during a meal, twice a day - it tastes horrible!) and the vit e. Because I'm allergic to glycerine, Mum and I are assuming that the capsule itself (there's no list of ingredients on the bottle as to what the capsule part is made of) both of us have been biting the capsule, letting the vit. e part come out and once we've swallowed it, spit the capsule out. I asked Mum to ask her mailing list group if we can have as much yogourt as we want: it seems she's read somewhere that if you have a food, a banana, let's say, you can't have another banana for 4 days. Has anyone heard of that practice? Is anyone following that rule? I knew you had to rotate but part of me thinks that the "have something and don't have it for four days" part is ludicrous. I always thought that if you eat something for 4 days there is a chance that you could develop an allergy to it. I've searched the net and and the papers I have here at the house and I can't seem to find this piece of info. I have one last resource and I'll check that if no one here knows. I'm afraid to say to Mum that I didn't think that it worked that way, and I had a little bit of a hard time trying to explain the candida diet to her (we both have brain fog) because she thought we couldn't do the candida/rotation diet because we have allergies. I hope I was right when I said that we can follow the rotation diet and avoid the foods ON it that we are allergic to. We are both very irritable. If anyone can help me with that 4 day thing, I would truly appreciate it. By the way, has anyone here been told NOT to have eggs? What was the reason why? Has anyone noticed any severe "spaciness" after taking their vitamins? I have been walking around feeling like I've had one alcoholic beverage too many. Thanks a bunch! It's muchly appreciated Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat them, but not too often, as they are relatively sugary for a vegetable! I try to keep them as 'emergency' food, as they're easily transportable as snacks, although I do make a mean carrot and coriander soup when the mood takes me! I also have the odd one in a vegetable juice, to add flavour to some of the scarier green juices, but overall I try not to have more than a couple of carrots a week. On the subject of juicing, has anyone ever juiced raw beetroot, leaves and all? I tried some on Saturday, after having read in my shiny new juice book that it was a good internal cleanser, and I'm still recovering from the shock!!!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 If you juiced beetroot by itself, its a wonder your not in hospital! Beets should only be taken along with other juices. They are far too potent to be taken alone. I mixed them with carrot/cucumber and celery. It looks like blood with a strong pungent taste.

Really??!! Egads....I wish my book had actually told me that! Yup, I did have it by itself aprt from a spoonfu of psyllium stirred in, and it was, shall we say, a moving experience....two days of everything coming out at high velocity, and bright, bright purple!! I'll not be trying that again, I can tell you!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 exactly - i was spinny/and strange when I first started carrots about 3 years ago. I remember the first day I drank a fresh quart and man, oh man! I almost passed out... i should have started smaller... over the weeks i upped and upped how much i drank and we drank about 2 quarts each a day for about 2 years solid. I never had a problem again after I adjusted... ALSO - it gave me wonderful heavy - bulky stools! LOL wendy carrots Hi there I feel a bit less tired and headachy the last two days, and I am minus a child till Saturday (and a husband) so things are quieter here.... I like it. The peace I mean, not the disappearance of the two. Jonah - carrots, apart from being full of sugar, can also cause your liver to do a cleanse out, which in turn makes you feel bad and spacey. How much of the stuff were you drinking? If you combined it with celery, cucumber, and parsley, you should be o.k. Even if you have half a glass a day, this shouldn't be a problem sugar wise surely? I know it can be hard trying to work out if the " yuck " feeling is a good thing or a bad thing, and in your case, you probably know by now, but just thought to let you know that when the liver is throwing off toxins, it does make you feel spacey, and carrots do cause the liver to do just that. Which is why, by the way, we turn orange. It is NOT the colour of the carrots, but the liver releasing toxins into the bloodstream at such a fast rate, that the body cannot cope and the overflow goes into the lymphatic system, and out via the skin. Hope this helps. Send blank message to candidiasis-unsubscribeonelist if you want to UNSUBSCRIBE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hi , Thanks for your response to my letter. Yes, I have done my juicing research and read a lot about it, and I am aware of the effects of the carrot juice. However, I realy feel what I was going through was a sugar issue. I have experimented enough to know the difference, by now. I have always mixed my carrot juice with other greens, often celery. It shouldn't be a problem, but it was. Perhaps this was due to my colonics and the increased sensitivity of my body. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means giving up carrot or anything, just at this stage I feel it's not appropriate. My body may 'tolerate' it as smaller dosages than I was taking, but I figure why bother taking in substance with sugar in them if I am this sensitive. If I am strict now, 100% so, the healing time will be much reduced and I can get back to reintroducing certain foods that much faster in the future. As a substitute for the carrots I am juicing greens, with very good success in a very short time!! I can literally SEE the difference in myself daily. So can everyone else. Starting juicing is one of the best things I've ever done for my body, period I was aware of the orange skin information, but as an aside, I have been suffering a skin condition, which has been healing from my extremities towards the center of my body. Doing juicing has produced the orange secretions, but mostly in areas where my skin is worst, and it little hard nodules of orange tissue. Once I soak in the tub and scrub them off, oh, my whole body feels good! Thanks for your help, !

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Carrots and green peas are both on the marginal list for low-carb diets. In addition, those baby carrots are much higher than regular carrots... they're grown that way on purpuse to trick kids into liking a vegetable, I guess.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 My mother reckoned being able to juice carrots saved her life. Pity about the cleaning up afterwards, though. We've had our bright red beet/carrot mix juice, now I had better feed us. And clean up. Sigh.

I had no idea I was carrying all that excess you know what inside of me. And to top it off I felt great!! Carrots, as well as grapefruit, are definitely one of nature's natural healers. . .
