parsnip, potato, walnut

• When cooking parsnip, save the juice. A glass drunk every morning and evening for up to 6 weeks will help you to get rid of gallstones.
• Drink 4-5 glasses of broth made of potato peel for about a week in order to get rid of existing gallstones and decrease the possibility of getting new.
• Walnut meat is very helpful to get rid of gallstones too.  Deep-fry 2 1/4 cups of walnut meat in pure olive oil until crispy.  Grind, then mix with 2 1/4 tbsp of honey.  You will get a somewhat smooth paste.  Eat this paste for two days in a row to soften, dissolve and eliminate gallstones.

The following potato plaster reduces inflammations caused by contusions, sprains, and fractures:

• Peel and grate ordinary potatoes, mix half of them with an equal amount of green vegetable leaves (either spinach, radish or cabbage).  The vegetable leaves should be coarsely pureed in t a food blender before mixing with the potatoes.  To this wet mass add 10% white flower, then mix everything thoroughly by hand in a big bowl. Add just enough ice water (never warm water) to give the paste a wet, somewhat even and thick consistency.  Apply plaster directly on the skin.  For sensitive skin, rub the affected area with olive oil before applying the plaster.  Put a clean cloth over the plaster and secure with a linen bandage.  When the plaster dries out, apply warm water on the dry mass until it becomes moist again.  Let the plaster sit in place for about 3.5 hours, while reclining.  Remove plaster and rinse skin with warm water.
