Juices & Sprouts
for Mineral Health
by Dr. Randolph Stone, D.O.,
D.C.-?
"Only God and nature cures."
 Minerals
are essential to keep our chemistry in balance and to supply our bones, blood
and tissues with the elements necessary for normal function and growth. Dr.
Julius Hensel called attention to this fact long ago, when he wrote his book,
Bread from Stones. He was the first pioneer in this field and, as an expert
chemist, he laid a good chemical foundation for nutritionists and doctors to
follow. Later, the Biochemic remedies of Dr. Schussler followed the same pattern
in the Homeopathic field.
To give just one explanation and
example of Dr. Hensel's philosophy and application of mineral value in the lymph
stream, he quoted the terrible epidemic of smallpox in northern Canada, which
wiped out whole villages. The cause was the lack of minerals in the bloodstream,
because of a lack of foods which contain them. Dr. Hensel said that the
excessive use of meat and white flour combinations was the cause of this
disease, which implies that the diet was lacking in the necessary vitamins and
minerals.
In smallpox, the lymph gets so
thick that it cannot flow, because of the lack of minerals needed for its
circulation. Iron is necessary in the bloodstream to enable it to convey oxygen
to the tissues, and this cannot be done without the iron in the red cells. As a
result, the thick lymph is pushed out as pox, and the disease is called
smallpox.
Minerals are needed in the
tissues for tone and as conductors of electromagnetic light waves, which link
the chromosomes of the cells to the finer energies of Nature. Without these
basic conductors, the molecular energy has no field in which to operate. The
quality of tissue and its elasticity depends upon the full nourishment needed by
the cell and supplied by the foods that are alive with vitamins, enzymes and
minerals as well as proteins, starches, sweets and fats, besides the bulk. These
may or may not contain what the cells need in energy-conducting factors or
mineral building blocks.
All vegetables and fruits are
rich in minerals, as are grasses and grains, when properly prepared as food. The
juices of vegetables and fruits have been used as juice-therapy, for better
health, by many ailing persons as well as by healthy people to maintain good
health. The juices are extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables, and used at
once so that they do not oxidize and ferment when exposed to air.
Nature puts a vacuum seal in all
her fruits, and juices in the fibres of the fruits and vegetables. To extract
this by crushing the fibers makes that juice available in its natural state,
with all its mineral contents, and has proven most helpful to many run-down
constitutions when other means had failed. It is a means of simple
health-building with better building blocks than were used before.
Fresh celery juice is rich in
sodium and has many uses. It is one of the best vegetables for juicing as it
covers so many of the body's needs. It also has a pleasant flavour and is
helpful to the nerves and a good night's sleep if taken before retiring.
Carrots are rich in natural
vitamin A and are used most freely by juice advocates, in combination with
celery, cabbage, parsley, beets, kale, string beans, brussels sprouts, spinach,
or any one of the green vegetables. Even garlic has been used with some of these
vegetable juices, especially for high blood pressure.
For diabetes, carrot, celery,
string beans and brussels sprouts have been employed successfully as a juice,
used daily, by sipping about a glassful three times daily. The juices of beets,
parsley and watercress are very concentrated and should not be used too freely.
About four ounces per day, mixed with other juices, is plenty.
For asthma, bronchitis and all
catarrhal conditions, carrot and radish juice has been recommended as well as
total abstinence from cream, ice cream, starches, sugars and eggs. And to open
up the sinuses and air passages, use horseradish and lemon juice. Grate four
ounces of horseradish, and two ounces of lemon juice, one teaspoonful of garlic
juice and one tablespoonful of honey. Mix and take a teaspoonful or more of this
mixture four times daily.
Sesame seed makes a very fine
drink when ground fine and mixed with water, with a little honey and lemon
added. Sesame seed contains vitamin T, which is a new discovery for prevention
of internal bleeding of capillaries. During the War it was discovered that the
Turkish flyers had superior eyesight, which was traced to their extensive use of
"Tahini," the name given to finely ground, hulled sesame seed. Although it is
classed with the "fiery" foods, it does not cause or irritate piles as is
commonly supposed. The Turkish flyers did not find it so. Improved oxidation is
the real factor here, under the Fire Principle, rather than an internal heating
effect which Ayurveda has taught. The discovery of vitamin T proves this fact in
the sesame seed, which has a tonic effect on capillaries and vessels to stop the
bleeding.
When raw potatoes or mushrooms
are added to the raw alfalfa sprouts, the combination makes a complete food for
enzyme, vitamin and mineral content. That is a perfect food in all elements
needed for health. Even tuberculosis has been arrested by the use of raw potato
juice. Grate the potatoes or put them through a juicer, allow the starch to
settle, then pour off the juice. Combine one-half glass of this clear juice with
one-half glass of raw carrot juice. To this add a teaspoonful of olive or almond
oil and a teaspoonful or so of honey. Beat this until it foams; drink three
glassfuls of this mixture daily and eat plenty of alfalfa and fenugreek seed
sprouts every day.
-
In stomach and intestinal
ulcers, a combination of carrot and cabbage juice is used daily, plus the
sesame seed drink previously mentioned.
-
For nervous conditions,
neurasthenia, and for cerebral tension of epilepsy, celery, carrot and lettuce
juice is used freely -- three or more glassfuls daily.
-
For varicose veins, carrot,
spinach and turnip juice is recommended.
-
For low blood pressure,
carrot, beet and dandelion juice is used.
-
For gall bladder trouble and
gall stones, as well as kidney stones, carrot, beet and cucumber juice is
taken.
-
For constipation: A
combination of cabbage, spinach, celery and lemon juice.
-
For skin conditions, boils,
pimples, carbuncles: Carrot, beet and celery juice.
-
Arthritis: Carrot, celery and
cabbage.
-
Anemia: Carrot, dandelion,
parsley, spinach and beets.
-
Adenoids and tonsils: Carrot,
beet and tomato juice.
-
Poor circulation and heart:
The juice of carrots and beets.
-
Goiter: A combination of
carrot and watercress juice.
-
Gastritis (inflammation of the
stomach): Carrot, celery and cabbage juice.
-
Hemorrhoids: Carrot and
parsley juice.
-
High blood pressure and
phlebitis (inflammation of a vein): Celery, beet and carrot juice.
In using greens for juices for
their mineral and vitamin contents as fresh building blocks for the system, one
must make sure that none of these greens are sprayed for insects or disease.
Whenever sprays have been used on the greens, that makes them totally unfit for
juice and as a food. Very few persons can tolerate food that has been sprayed
with insecticides, and food that has been contaminated by these sprays cannot be
recommended. The only other alternative is the sprouts, which you can raise
yourself and know that they are not sprayed.

certifications in the early 1920s, including DO, DC and ND. Dr. Stone
maintained a medical practice for over 50 years in Chicago and developed
a reputation for his willingness to work with "hopeless cases" who often
responded to his unconventional approaches which incorporated techniques
