Food today is highly lacking in minerals and the average person\u2019s iron levels are low, largely because of how overly industrialized agriculture has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foods available to us in the supermarket are almost all hybrid and don\u2019t measure up to the mineral-rich foods we left behind in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people will say that they can get iron from spinach or beets, however, these also are hybrid plants and just don\u2019t measure up to natural plants like dandelion or watercress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, the cartoon character Popeye helped to greatly increase spinach sales in the USA. This, however, was due to the error of German scientist Erich Von Wolf, who misplaced a decimal point in his notes leading to the cartoon creators deciding to paint spinach as Popeye’s superfood. People just accepted that spinach had 35 milligrams of iron per 100 grams when in reality it has 3.5 milligrams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mistake wasn\u2019t caught until 1937, 67 years later, and the scary thing \u2013 it is still widely believed today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iron is a very important element in boosting and maintaining the immune system. Studies show that iron deficiency “affects the capacity to have an adequate immune response”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Sebi said that no disease can prevail if a person\u2019s iron level is up to par. He once told the story of treating a patient and giving him large doses of natural iron 3 times a day over a period of 10 days, after which the man was cured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most people, iron levels in the body are below where they should be normally. To remedy this you could take large doses in liquid form to help increase it to a normal level. If you do this 3 times a day for 10 days, your iron level should normalize and with it a boost to your immune system as well as energy levels and clearer thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following Dr Sebi\u2019s advice, I went and bought some burdock root, boiled it down and drank the tea 3 times a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the evening of the 10th day, it was like a light bulb lit up in my brain, and my thinking became much clearer. Not only did I feel a new mental clarity and increased energy, but I also found myself feeling less hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get yourself a herb rich in iron such as burdock<\/a> (Arctium lappa), yellow dock<\/a> (Rumex crispus), sarsaparilla<\/a> (Smilax ornata) or elderberry<\/a> (Sambucus nigra).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour out a handful or 3 to 4 grams and boil it down in about 3 cups of water for 15 – 30 minutes on the lowest heat. Drink the tea and boil the herbs a second time. Drink this accompanied with plenty of spring water as it may loosen up a lot of phlegm. The second time you boil it the tea will have a milder taste but is still useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do this 3 times a day<\/strong> if you have the time, do it twice a day if you can\u2019t do 3 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should feel a profound difference after 10 – 14 days. Once you reach this point you\u2019ll only need to take it once a day and it\u2019s up to you if you\u2019d like to boil it down a second time or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
