Cucumbers combine with almost any green vegetable and are great alone. I start by washing off the dirt and grit from leaves. (Whenever I wash vegetables that are particularly full of earth, I remember the American woman in Paris. |
Dr. Joseph M. Kadans, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Preparation: dandelion greens can be used in salads or prepared like spinach.
To make dandelion leaf salad in orange and soy dressing, choose one pound of dandelion leaves that are small and young, wash carefully and dry. Place in a bowl one-half cup orange juice, one teaspoon grated orange peel, two tablespoons soy sauce, one teaspoon grated fresh ginger, three tablespoons olive oil, one clove garlic (mashed), and salt and pepper. Mix these ingredients well. When ready to serve, pour over the leaves, toss well, and serve at once. | | For vegetarians or persons who prefer obtaining Vitamin A from fruits and vegetables, carrot juice is high in this vitamin, as well as parsley, spinach, beet greens, mustard greens, kale, lamb's quarters, endive, oxalis (stemless herb), dandelion greens, turnip greens, broccoli, apricots, lettuce, cabbage, watercress, peaches, peas, beans, papayas, sweet potatoes, dried prunes, asparagus, sweet corn, oranges, cantaloupes, pecans, and many other foods. Refer to the various food listings for the exact quantity of this vitamin in each food.

Select dandelion greens from an area that hasn't been sprayed with herbicides. Pick them wearing gloves or cut off the top part of the plant with a knife level to the ground as previously described. Rinse them in a colander to remove bugs and dirt. Then cut or tear to juicing size. You can juice fresh watercress right along with them, if you like. The younger dandelion leaves will make a sweeter juice than older leaves picked later in the summer or fall. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  If you are completely intolerant of dairy products you can obtain an ample amount of calcium via green, leafy vegetables, especially kale or dandelion greens, collard greens, or turnip greens. Not only is the calcium in these last suggestions easier to assimilate than that in dairy products, but these vegetables also contain several other useful nutrients, including beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, enzymes, and minerals.
Supplements
Sometimes proper nutrition cannot be completely obtained through our diets. |
John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts | | When juicing chervil, Romaine lettuce and dandelion greens, you need not do each one separately but can juice them all together. Then juice your carrot or tomato by itself, and combine with the other three afterwards.
CHICORY-ENDIVE JUICES
"A Great Combo for Osteoporosis
DESCRIPTION
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is often called endive or French endive and is grown for its tender though somewhat bitter salad leaves by forcing the roots. The roots themselves are, likewise, harvested then dried and ground into a powder as an adulterant for some brands of coffee. |

He claimed that this "green punch," which he flavored with pineapple juice and Canadian Club Soda, had more iron and vitamins A and C in it than any other foods listed in the USDA Agricultural Handbook No. 8 entitled, Composition of Foods. He called it his "feel good, health drink! |
James Green
See book keywords and concepts |  Eating dandelion greens and other bitters prior to meals is invaluable for stimulating one's appetite, digestion, and assimilation. Regular use of Dandehon extracts often relieves the uncomfortable maladies commonly experienced in the upper and lower digestive tract such as poor digestion, gas, nausea, and constipation.
In general, Dandehon carries substances that stimulate the function of many glands and organs, especially the kidneys and liver. | | In contrast, communities in China eagerly harvest and eat young dandelion greens to enrich their diets, along with Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), and Kudzu (Pueraria lobata), which are two more "weeds" we tend to curse in this culture. The people of our southern communities could control the rampant spread of Kudzu vine through their countrysides by eating it; it's a superb cardiac tonic, and it controls alcohol craving—if one wants to; if not, Kudzu curbs headache and hangovers.
Dandelion's species name, officinale, means "used in the office or the workshop. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Foods that can help correct cataract include the tops of vegetables, turnip greens, parsley, mustard greens, dandelion greens, watercress, beet greens, common beans, milk and eggs. Liver and sunflower seed meal were used by a 90-year-old woman going blind from cataracts (dimming vision, red weepy eyes and a noticeable film). At 94 her cataracts are gone and her mental and physical health improved tremendously. Brewer's yeast, liver and soybean lecithin were used by another man to dissolve his cataracts and avoid surgery. | | Other foods that help cleanse and empty a congested gall bladder include grapefruit, gooseberries, endives and dandelion greens (which are also helpful in cleansing the spleen).
Lecithin, a fat-dissolver produced by the body, and available in foods, seems to liquefy cholesterol, an important substance in gallstones. Among the foods high in lecithin are soybeans and sunflower seeds. Foods that stimulate increased production of lecithin by the body are Brewer's yeast, nuts (especially walnuts) and unrefined grains. | | Brewer's yeast carrot juice chamomile tea dandelion greens dandelion tea endives gooseberries grains, unrefined grapefruit grapefruit juice grape juice lemon juice nuts olive oil orange juice parsley tea pears radish juice rhubarb rose petal tea soybean lecithin squash sunflower seeds vinegar walnuts water
Reportedly, lemon juice also helps to relieve the nausea gall bladder victims may suffer.
Mrs. S.W. recalled: "Shortly after the birth of my baby, I had a very painful attack under my right ribs. | | Here is a complete list of foods that have been used to relieve liver problems: apple juice dandelion tea pomegranate apples endives quince artichokes gooseberries radish juice beet juice garlic raspberries beet leaves, boiled grapefruit sesame seeds carrot juice grape juice spinach carrots grapes strawberries cauliflower lemon juice tangerines cherries olive oil tomatoes collards olives turnip greens cranberries orange juice walnuts dandelion greens peppers, green watercress plums
Dandelion tea (a strong cupful twice a day) seems to cleanse and purify the liver. | | Cherries and dandelion greens are very cleansing to the liver. Grapefruit, parsley, pomegranate, quince, raspberries, strawberries, tangerines and tomatoes help relieve a sluggish liver and liver congestion. Watercress relieves inflammation of the liver. |
Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Dandelion greens are richer in Vitamin A than even carrots, and exceed the Vitamin B, C and D content of most other traditional vegetables. See Also skin; diabetes; blood purification/detoxification; liver disorders
YELLOW DOCK ROOT achieves its tonic properties through the astringent purification of the blood supply to the glands. Like other herbs in this blend, it is often used in seasonal cleanses and other blood detoxification programs. |
Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., and Jo Robinson
See book keywords and concepts |  This left out a long list of nutritious greens, including arugula, beet greens, broccoli raab, chard, chicory, dandelion greens, collard greens, endive, kale, mustard greens, purslane, romaine, turnip greens, and watercress. These greens have been slow to catch on because many of them have a slightly bitter or peppery flavor, which can be a bit of a shock to people who are used to iceberg lettuce.
Now, greens are coming into their own, partly due to the newfound popularity of salads made from mixed greens. |
Gale Maleskey
See book keywords and concepts |  Good food sources: Almonds, spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, kohlrabi, kale, dandelion greens, margarine, peanut oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and seeds, wheat germ, and wheat-germ oil.
Cautions and possible side effects: Use only with medical supervision if you are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners), ginkgo, or fish-oil supplements; if you take aspirin regularly to help prevent heart disease; if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or cancer; if you smoke; if you have had a stroke; or if you are at high risk for stroke. |
Stephanie Beling
See book keywords and concepts |  The Center for Science in the Public Interest ranks this humble weed high on its list of healthiest vegetables. dandelion greens not only boast more calcium than whole milk, they're also loaded with antioxidants. The Chinese have long looked to dandelion poultices to treat breast cancers, and like chicory, these greens cleanse liver and blood. Their pungent taste, meanwhile, adds zing to any salad, and they are dehcious sauteed with onions, garlic, and a touch of sage. They are best and most abundant in early spring. |
John Heinerman
See book keywords and concepts | | I recommend a combination of chervil, dark Romaine lettuce, and dandelion greens —equal parts of each—as a terrific tonic for problems in these three organs of the body. The leaves of each should be thoroughly washed before juicing them.
As an added health bonus, you should include the yellow flowering tops of dandelion. They are incredibly high in beta-carotene, ascorbic acid, bioflavonoids, and iron, all of which does the gall bladder and liver much good. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts |  Here's Gladstar's recipe: Mix two parts dandelion greens, two parts burdock root and one part marshmallow root. (You can find these dried herbs in most health food stores or through mail order; for mail-order information, refer to the resource list on page 635.) Add three to four tablespoons of this herb mixture to a quart of cold water and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, strain to remove the dried herbs and cool. Gladstar says to drink three to four cups of this tea throughout the day. fill!! |
the Editors of PREVENTION
See book keywords and concepts |  A cup of cooked dandelion greens contains as much potassium as a small banana.
If you can't find dandelion leaf tea in your local health food store, you can substitute goldenrod tea, suggests Dr. Heron. Along with its diuretic properties, goldenrod helps repair the inflammation caused by the passage of the stone.
To make either tea, add 2 teaspoons of dried herb to 1 cup of boiling water and steep for 15 minutes.
Marshmallow or Corn Silk
To help protect and repair tissues in the urinary tract, drink one cup of tea three times a day before meals. |
Linda B. White, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The advantages of using dandelion are twofold: It does not appear to cause potassium loss—a significant problem with some prescription diuretics—and at the right time of year, almost anyone can find fresh dandelion greens to throw into a salad or make into a juice or tea. (Avoid leaves that have been treated with chemicals.) Typical dosage-. 2 to 6 cups of tea per day (simmer 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried leaves in one cup of water for 5 minutes),- or 1 to 2 dropperfuls of tincture up to three times per day,- or one 500-milligram capsule three or four times per day. |

J. E. Williams, O.M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Vegetables: all leafy green vegetables (red leaf, romaine, and other garden lettuces; spinach, endive, kale, Swiss chard, beet greens, bok choy and Chinese broccoli, arugula, mustard green, dandelion greens); all root vegetables (carrots, beets, parsnips, radishes, fennel root, yams, potatoes [also a carbohydrate], turnips, daikon, gobo, yucca, rutabaga); cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, collards); cucumbers; squashes; onion family (shallots, red and white onions, green onions, leeks, garlic); asparagus; okra; celery; sweet and hot peppers; tomatoes. | | If you experience constipation, first try increasing your dosage of vitamin C; as mentioned, high dosages of vitamin C
Liver-Protective Herbs
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) Dandelion (Taxaxacum officinale) Celandine (Chelidonium majus)
Liver-Supportive Foods
Beets
Radishes, radish sprouts, daikon dandelion greens Endive have a laxative effect. If necessary, use an herbal laxative containing cape aloe (Aloe socotrina), cas-cara (Rhamnus purshiana), or senna (Cassia senna). Commercial products containing these herbs are available from health food stores. | | Many foods improve liver function, including beets, radishes, radish seed spouts, dandelion greens, and all green leafy vegetables.
These are the typical signs of a sluggish liver:
• Digestive problems: heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating and discomfort after eating, difficulty digesting fats, intolerance to alcohol, nausea, floating stools, constipation, bitter taste in the mouth, and a thick, yellow tongue coating. |
Susun S. Weed
See book keywords and concepts |  Vitamin C: All fresh fruits and vegetables, pine needles, dandelion greens, red clover, parsley, plantain leaf, paprika. Vitamin D: Sunlight, butter, egg yolks, fatty fish, liver. Vitamin E: Cold-pressed food oils, freshly ground whole grains, nettles, seaweed, dandelion, nuts, greens, sunflower seeds. Vitamin K: Nettles, alfalfa, kelp, green tea.
Seaweed
These seaweed harvesters are conscientious, ecologically aware, and willing to be listed. There are many other sources of seaweed. I encourage you to support local harvesters or to spend one weekend a year at the ocean harvesting your own. | | Daily doses begin at 20,000 IU (the amount in a serving of dandelion greens or two large carrots) but ten times that much can be consumed without causing side effects. Carotenes nourish and support the production of interferon, tumor-suppressor cells, killer T-cells, and helper T-cells (sometimes increasing them by 30 percent within a week). Carotenes are especially important for the health of the thymus-master gland of the immune system. And they are used in large amounts when the immune system communicates with itself. | | Food sources include carrots, kelp, dandelion greens, and violet or nettle leaf infusion. A supplemental dose is 10,000 to 100,000 IU daily for 3-4 weeks.
• Avoid supplements of vitamins E and C before surgery; they thin the blood and increase risk of hemorrhage and hematomas. But they can be taken beginning a week after the operation to help hasten healing. Usual daily dose is 1-6 grams ascorbic acid and 200-400 IU vitamin E, or six servings of fresh, raw fruit or vegetables and half a cup/125 ml of sunflower seeds. |
