Sugar Beet
Botanical Name: Beta vulgaris altissima
Common Names and Synonyms: Sugar Beet
Background: A sugar beet is similar in appearance to the red
beet, except the sugar beet has a white root that is narrower
in shape. Sugar beets are grown in the cooler climates, and the roots
are harvested annually in the fall or early winter. The sugar is
extracted by slicing the beets into thin layers, which are put into hot
water, agitated, and the resulting "tea" of sugar and water is further
processed, evaporated, and dried. The remaining pulp is dried and
processed into pellets for animal food.
Beet Sugar in the Cayce Readings
-
In the Cayce readings where the pancreas, kidneys and digestive organs
were uncoordinated, beet sugar was typically combined with sage, ambergris,
gin and cinnamon to tone up and harmonize the pancreas' action with other
organs. Beet sugar, combined with alcohol, carries the other properties
into the system without over stimulating the pancreas.
-
In the diet, beet sugar was recommended to keep the body from producing
too much alcohol.

Cayce Quotes on Beet Sugar
4156-2
Now, we find, we have given very specifically as
to how these medicinal properties should be prepared. We would prepare
the sage tea first, while warm, sufficient to easily dissolve the beet
sugar, and only use beet sugar. This should be prepared in the medicinal
properties, then adding Ambergris dissolved in the alcohol, then adding
the Gin (Gordon's dry), then adding the Cinnamon. These properties
taken in this manner with the system, the sage becomes the sedative, and
an active principle with the gastric juices and an incentive to the emunctories
in liver, and with the sediments from the Ambergris as stimulated by the
alcohol, and beet sugar, will give the action necessary to the pancreas
and duodenum to receive the incentive for their functioning. This
we find in the sugar properties, with the mixture in the system, does not
become the active principle as that in cane sugar. Hence the beet
or vegetable.

To one gallon of rain water, add eight (8) ounces
of common Garden Sage. Reduce by simmering to one quart, while warm
add:
Grain Alcohol.........................................................
4 ounces,
Beet Sugar first dissolved in warm water..................4 ounces,
Ambergris dissolved in one ounce grain alcohol........20 grains,
Gin, Gordon's Gin preferred ...................................4 ounces,
Cinnamon...............................................................15
grains.
The dose would be two (2) teaspoonfuls half an hour
before each meal. Do that, and we will find this: The sage as a sedative
to the intestinal tract, especially in the action of the pancrean and gall
duct forces over the body; the gin as the stimulation to the kidneys in
their action in eliminating; the sugar, Beet sugar with Ambergris as the
force necessary to create that which will produce the healing forces to
the intestinal lining, as it were, itself. Do that.

Prepare these as medicinal properties, to give the
correct vibration to the system, to correct the inflow - as it were
- of that overtaxed energy to the kidney from the pancrean condition:
To one (1) gallon of rain water, add eight (8) ounces
garden sage. Reduce by simmering (not boiling) to one (1) quart.
Strain while warm and add four (4) ounces of BEET sugar - only beet
sugar - first dissolved in two (2) ounces of hot water. Fifteen (15)
grains of ambergris dissolved in one (1) ounce of pure grain alcohol.
Then add two (2) more ounces of eighty-five percent (85%) alcohol, with
one-quarter (1/4) ounce of Oil of Juniper, with one (1) dram of Cinnamon,
and five (5) minims of Oil of Sassafras.
Shake solution together before the dose is taken,
which should be teaspoonful four (4) times each day, half an hour before
meals, half and hour before retiring.
4708-1
.nothing that carries too much sugar - nothing that carries too
much alcoholic stimulants of any nature, or that will PRODUCE alcohol from
within the system, see? If coffee or tea is taken, take without sugar.
If sugar is used, only use beet sugar, and in small quantities.
(Q) Has the body diabetes?
(A) A touch of same, yes. This was indicated
by the condition in the kidneys - also the digestion - though not in a
virulent form at present. The relief of the condition - as is seen through
the properties as taken - will overcome these conditions.
