Let’s discuss all things carrots “A self-love internal healing journey”
Carrots are one of the best dietary sources of beta-carotene, which boosts the immune system naturally! It is also known to reduce many risks of getting certain cancers such as breast, rectal, larynx, and lung cancer.
Carrots also contain lutein, another anti-cancer carotenoid. Research suggests this is the synergy of all the compounds in carrots that makes them such an important deterrent in the development of cancer.
Eating just one medium-sized “raw carrot” four times every week can reduce the odds of developing cancer because it cleans the cells that are going to turn cancerous soon before it takes place.
Once you are diagnosed, you will need to turn your carrots into juice. This will remove the fiber meaning it can bypass digestion and deliver the nutrient to your dying cells right away at its most potent state.
Any time you juice and you are trying to cure a disease you have 1 hour before you lose most of your nutrients due to oxidation.
Carrots’ special healing powers from “Mother Nature”
Carrots stimulate the production of your T helper cells in your appendix, yes the appendix is your immune system training center. Do not let the medical field tell you it’s useless!! That keeps you sick and depending on them!
These T cells protect the body from all types of infection, against cardiovascular disease, reduce inflammation, and slow the aging process naturally. This is what God made carrots for.
They build healthy skin, tissues, and teeth, improve your eyesight, prevent eye and mucous membrane infections, stimulate appetite, and prevent dehydration.
They are great for treating infant diarrhea and acute colitis. Adults with acute enterocolitis, diarrhea, or colon disorders will benefit from carrot soup or juice.
Carrots contain an estrogen-like compound that stimulates libido. They are excellent used in raw juices, but you should never eat or juice the tops, as they are very bitter!

What should I look for in medicinal carrots?
Look for carrots that are reddish-orange. The deeper the color, the higher the beta-carotene content. Carrots should be medium to slender in size since larger carrots tend to be more fibrous. Avoid buying rootless carrots, it’s a sign they are immature.
A pale green rim on the top portion of the carrot is a sign the carrot is beginning to age. Avoid carrots with a dark-green or black rims at the top. Carrots store well. They will keep for you in their original packaging for up to 4 weeks. Loose carrots should be stored unwashed in a closed plastic bag until ready to eat.
