The beautiful crimson color of the beet comes from betacyanins, natural compounds that also happen to be extremely powerful cancer-fighting agents. Beets also contain an amino acid called betaine, packed with anti-cancer properties and unique phytochemicals called betalains.  All of these nutrients are key to the incredible health properties of the beet. Betanin, one of the most researched betalains found in beets, has significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying effects. Because beets contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules, it is statistically likely that they can reduce the risk of many kinds of cancers. With the high antioxidant content, beets are a great leukemia natural treatment. The World’s Healthiest Foods says, “Eventually, we expect to see large-scale human studies that show the [cancer] risk-reducing effect of dietary beet intake.” A solid scientific basis for that work already exists. In the 1950s, a Hungarian cancer therapist named Alexander Ferenczi began putting his patients on a regime of raw or juiced beetroots in addition to their normal diet. He worked exclusively with patients who had already undergone chemotherapy and radiation, and who were primarily in the final (cachexic) stage of cancer. 

 All of Ferenczi’s patients responded positively to the addition of beets to their diets. There was a clear, clinical improvement in each and every one of their cancers. The beet treatment proved to be so powerful, in fact, that in some cases patients actually overdosed on beets! So, the takeaway lessons from Ferenczi’s work are that: Beets are a more effective cancer treatment when begun early. In fact, the regular consumption of beets might be most effective as a preventative treatment. *Cancer : Fight Leukemia, Tumors, and Advanced Inoperable Cancers : The results of a later study of “red beet therapy” — the consumption of approximately 2 lbs of raw, mashed beets daily suggest that beets can help your body fight against leukemia and tumors. The phytonutrients–proanthocyanidins (betanin) that gives beets their rich purplish-red hue has potent anti-cancer capabilities lab studies show that betanin pigments can impede tumor cell growth in tissues from the: Colon, Stomach, Nerves, Lungs, Breasts, Prostate, Testicles. The fiber found in beets seems to increase the body’s special immune compounds that are responsible for detecting and removing abnormal cells before they can become cancerous.Beets are a more effective cancer treatment when begun early.

*Beets have been recommended for many years to help purify the blood.*Beets also help cleanse the liver–one of the most overworked organs in the body, with over 500 functions including: cleansing toxins, removing excess hormones, and metabolizing fat.
