Carrots

[Roland]

Have posted before, but I believe it could be of an interest to some ...

 

The most common cause of death among small children at the turn of the twentieth century used to be dehydration caused by diarrhea. Professor Ernst Moro, a pediatrician, found that he could lower the death rate dramatically about 1908 by feeding the children a simple carrot soup and this recipe became the standard regimen until the development of antibiotics at about 1940.

By far the major cause of diarrhea is an infection by micro-organisms that multiply in the intestines and excrete various toxins. This scenario causes an increase in intestinal motility and massive excretion of semi-digested food and fluids.

Dr. Moro had no idea why this simple soup was so beneficial. It took modern science to uncover the secret: Various pathogenic micro-organisms attach to receptors on the intestinal wall. The preparation of the carrot soup splits the sugars present in the carrots into very small oligosaccharides which in turn are very similar to the intestinal receptors. The pathogens attach to these oligosaccharides and are safely excreted before they can cause any problems.

Although no longer used against diarrhea in children this soup finds application against diarrhea in various livestock and chicken. It may be beneficial to prevent "young bird sickness" and even treat it in its very early stages. It may also be used again against infections by antibiotic resistant micro-organisms.

Recipe for 40 pigeons:

1 kg diced carrots

2.5 l water

3 tsp. salt

Let the above simmer for 1.5 hrs. (this time is important) and divide the liquid into 3 equal portions. Use one portion in the drinker (mixed with the appropriate amount of water) for 3 consecutive days.

Should the birds already be sick it may be best to feed just some rolled oats for a few days instead of grain that may be too hard to digest.

Ian, when using carrots on your snowman, does the illness melt away?

There are a lot of natural remedies out there, most being lost to the mists of time because modern methods are preferred. Often these old methods do work, perhaps just taking that bit longer to take effect, but modern society demand fast action. Keep posting the old ones Roly.

Saw once regards Useful remedies 'Lost'! There was 1000's. Many squeezed into Pills / drinks etc. and sold for much money. Indeed the fact is very many... But at cost much easier to swallow ... like the Crap many that do because .....

 

Roly knows me well :emoticon-0136-giggle:

True! No problem.

Is this a 'one-off' Roland, and if not , any mention how often it should be used ?

[leslie24williams49]

No.1 No more snowmen due to global warming. No.2 Steve Patrick gave his birds grated carrots with salt every week.

I don't think it can be over done ( Over Cooked before Big Dave jumps in :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: )

But obviously it would mean treating often unnecessarily. Once a month would be more than ample.
