Note:
Beans are diuretic, but these little black turtle beans are
good for stamina. When the kidneys are tired and people are
suffering from fatigue as well as fluid retention and/or
edema, this soup can be consumed in large quantities on a
daily basis for weeks or months. Some people will lose as
much as 30 pounds in ten days IF the weight consists mainly
of fluids rather than fat. Where there is a mixture of fluids
and fat, more spices will promote fat metabolism and the
turmeric will help emulsify and remove the fat from the gall
bladder and kidneys.
