The Garden Carrot may be juiced eaten whole raw or cooked. The juice is preferred, as the healing factors are sufficiently concentrated to supply the system with what it needed. If juiced 1-6 pints a day of the juice may be taken orally, or as a wash or in a poultice form externally.
R. W Walker states in his book, “Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices, what’s missing in your body?” “Depending on the condition of the individual, raw carrot juice may be taken in any reasonable quantities from one to six or eight pints a day. This has the effect of helping to normalize the entire system. It is the richest source of Vitamin A which the body can quickly assimilate and contains also an ample supply of Vitamins B, C, D, E, G and K. It helps to promote the appetite and is an aid to digestion.”
One of the juice choices on the Three Day Cleanse created by Dr. Christopher is carrot juice, where one drinks a glass of carrot juice every waking hour for three days. He also includes it in the Incurables Program as a possible juice choice for a week, drinking as much as one desires of the fresh juice daily for 6 days.
Dr. Christopher tells a wonderful story about using a carrot poultice on a horse’s leg that had been badly cut up by barbed wire and was becoming gangrene by the time Dr. Christopher saw him. The family followed directions given them and applied the carrot poultice to the horse’s leg on a continued basis and the horse was completely healed within seven days. On people, he called for the grated carrot poultice to be used in cases of skin ulcers, abscesses, carbuncles, sores, and bad wounds. Another reference calling for the carrot poultice for use on cuts, wounds, abscesses, and inflammations, using either the raw, grated carrots or cooked, mashed carrots.
“Powdered as Universal Remedy * Another exceptional and fairly little known way to use carrots is in the dried state. Grate carrots into the tiniest pieces, and dry them on white paper or in your home food dryer…” “This concentrates the useful vitamins and minerals contained in the carrot. Store this material in a dark, labeled jar. These carrots can be added to soups to restore body energy, or used in a capsule …” “…as a potent remedy to overcome infection, glandular disturbances, headaches or joint problems…”
