Kvass from beet according to Bolotov. Kvass from beets according to Bolotov recipe

Acquaintance with Bolotov.
Acquaintance with Bolotov, or rather with his publications, happened just a month ago, although I had previously read a book by Kostina, a rather voluminous book by Neumyvakin, a book by Malakhov, where Bolotov's name slipped through. The rain helped. Went to the bookstore to wait. There are piles of thin editions of Bolotov. The names intrigued me, I flipped through and bought a few pieces. Already, reading them at home, I began to remember my distant childhood, the white caps of the mountains, mountain rivers, steppes, the southern outskirts of our once mighty homeland. A multi-faceted carpet of flowers, plants, mighty oaks, elms, pyramidal silver poplars still captures the imagination and gives life to all living things. People live, get sick, die, but life goes on and among them there were and are talented seeking people, enriching folk medicine. Honor them, praise and low bow for that, sometimes disinterested help to those who suffer, when traditional medicine discredited itself with low professionalism, mired in corruption, became a means of making money for doctors contrary to the constitution. To put 10 droppers to maintain health, you need to pay a pension and a half to a pensioner, pull out a tooth - give almost half, pay nine for a simple 20-minute appendicitis, and a sixth for a box of pressure. The robbers of pensioners, the owners of pharmacies, doomed pensioners to early retirement into another world. In this situation, more than ever, the help of honest, without selfish, knowledgeable traditional healers is needed. There is an increase in the publications of traditional healers, who are actively pressing on traditional medicine. The main urinal consumer Malakhov, the cleaner Kostina, the endoecologist Neumyvakin, the innovator Bolotov and his followers the Pogozhevs, Naumov and others actively saturate the publishing literature with their numerous publications. Malakhov promotes drinking urine for healing, referring to the pundits of antiquity, as well as his invention, in rubbing a bald head with onion and salt to germinate the hairline, the effect is obvious - the bald head of Gennady Petrovich was covered with thick hair. Boris Bolotov looks at least 30 years younger than his age. In general, the appearance should really reflect the recommendations that are put into practice by traditional healers. Kostina treats over 250 different diseases with celandine, ranging from nail fungus to cancer, sometimes referring to Bolotov and Malakhov, and also reprints and sends their recipes to print with distortion (p. 92). And she recommended and printed a lot of nonsense, for example, in collections - the number of herbs is brought to 20 or more (p. 122), what healthy organism can endure this, not to mention the patient, or smear the diseased gum with celandine, a quick cure immediately occurs (p. 33). The gum is a consequence, and the hearth under the tooth and celandine will not help here. So in our time, trying to treat people is at least absurd. Although after reading Neumyvakin about the benefits of such a universal remedy as hydrogen peroxide, which cures all diseases, as well as recommendations on how to wash as little as possible and cites his ancestors by name as an example, you will think about who is better a doctor or not a doctor. Neumyvakin, in many of his recommendations, forgot about contraindications, taking medications and fees on time. For example, hypertension is the destiny of middle and old age, and as a rule, everyone has cholecystitis, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal tract, pyelonephritis and other diseases, but the recommendation is to take horseradish, radish, onion infusion on vodka, eating on an empty stomach on an onion head, most likely even the health of a healthy person may not endure, and for the patient - the Inquisition (p. 409). I will give another example from page 384: "Any disease of the gastrointestinal tract is cured by calamus root, even chronic and malignant ones." After such a phrase of a doctor of medical sciences, the question arises, why then gastroenterological centers, departments in hospitals and just gastroenterologists. Similarly, about a decoction of oats, which dissolves stones in the gallbladder well. Are all these people now unemployed? Paradox and more. Bolotov is undoubtedly a talented physicist, chemist, biologist, but as he himself says, I can only treat relatives and close friends because I do not have a medical education. But then a reasonable question, but what about healing, recommendatory publications? But all the same, innovation is undoubtedly welcomed as something new, and maybe something forgotten old, yes, if it still helps sick people, that's great.
Living in Central Asia, he was an eyewitness and accomplice in the collection of medicinal herbs. My own grandmother was engaged in the treatment of relatives and friends. After her death, my own aunt began to do this. And that was in the early 50s. I remember how Aunt Olya and I gathered celandine along the colza field in spring and summer, and then she made kvass on both whey and ayran and even koumiss (borrowed from the healer Dzhanibek from the village, to whom we sometimes went) and much more on what, in the fall and in winter, instead of sugar, I remember cutting and throwing pieces of sugar beets into jars, and taking various cakes was a common thing my father swallowed them several times a year. But he died anyway from a stomach ailment. Another aunt Zhenya, 60 years ago, tried to dissolve stones with chicken bile in the gallbladder; stones do not dissolve, clots are possible. It is no secret that in Central Asia not only vegetables, nuts, but also watermelons and even melons are salted, and in teahouses they drink salted tea, in Buryatia and Mongolia they also drink salted milk. I remember Aunt Olya had something with the kidneys, so I had to dig up the roots of mulberry and peel off the bark of the aspen that grew along the shore of the karasuk, from which she also prepared kvass and infusions. I remember how Janibek, before recommending treatment, asked about the acidity of my father's stomach. A semi-literate, almost 90-year-old healer put the question of the acidity of gastric juice at the heart of the angle. Moreover, he also mixed sulfuric and hydrochloric acids with vinegars. But, none of them called kvass and balms by their last names, because all this was taken from the reference books of healers of the middle of the 18th century, still published in the Old Slavonic language, because they honored their memory. Yes, indeed, there appeared such laconic sayings as before a meal, after a meal, and sometimes their absence. But after all, almost two centuries have passed, and they are present in the same form in the publications of many modern folk healers. In many ways, it is no longer necessary to reinvent the wheel, it was invented long ago, but it is necessary to competently, simply, intelligibly, based on the practical experience of the last century, methodically correctly give an exhaustive recommendation. Short, clumsy recommendations should remain with the ancient healers. It is no coincidence that I am focusing on this. From books where almost all authors take the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract as the basis for the treatment of all diseases, and naturally in the foreground the esophagus, stomach, then duodenum, liver with gallbladder, pancreas. Therefore, I will touch on the question that the woman asked the press secretary, manager, and maybe already the folk healer Bolotov's son on a remote forum about the treatment of atrophic hyperplastic gastritis and catarrhal inflammation of the duodenal bulb 12, but instead of an answer, I sent her to another healer. A specific question was asked, and here the “inflammation” or “disease” of the stomach, duodenum 12 no longer passes in the old fashioned way, ”a clear, competent recommendation for treatment is needed, but there was none.
I believe that in the gastrointestinal tract, which of your recommendations is the cornerstone, you need to realize yourself not at the level of the healer Janibek, but much deeper. The principle: “To teach it is not necessary to have a deep knowledge of the subject” will not work, especially when there are such atrophic gastritis as hypertrophic, hyperplastic, polypous, hypersecretory and others up to an ulcer.
Reading publications: "The Truths of Bolotov" (p. 71); "Bolotov's Medicine" (pp. 85,86); "Pharmacy of Health" (pp. 22, 175); “Five steps to immortality” (p. 70_; “Life according to Bolotov”; where a list of pain symptoms from a dozen herbs and cereals is listed in the source materials, some are duplicated. The method of treating 12 duodenal ulcers is weak, and the stomach can be said to be almost absent. In the method application of diversity.
For example: in the "Truths of Bolotov" - the reception of cakes for 2-4 tbsp. l. up to -3 times a day, that is, you can not take it twice (again, when?); how much (before meals, before meals, before meals?); enzyme 1 hour before meals 0.5 cups (maybe before taking cakes?), before eating a few sips of aqua regia (sips are 50 ml., 100 ml., and for how long?).
In the "Pharmacy of Health" - before breakfast, 0.5-1 glass of juice (for how much?), Oil cake 2-4 tbsp. l. already 3 times a day, again for how long (before meals, before meals, before meals?), to relieve the "Inflammatory process" 1 hour before the procedures, drink 0.5 cups of enzyme, vodka is no longer available.
In "Five Steps to Immortality" press up to 3 tables. spoons 1 time per day, when (breakfast, lunch, dinner?). Then, after 30-40 minutes. sucking salt after eating. Reception of infusion of wormwood. Cakes are already 2-4 tablespoons on an empty stomach for a long time (when and how much?).
As in the song: "Guess they say yourself." Or, how to understand the phrases “On an empty stomach” or “To relieve inflammation”, again what kind of “Inflammatory process”? Up to “3 times a day”, and when (lunch, dinner, exclude?). "A few sips." Or “Before eating, before eating, before eating itself” - the phrases of healers of the 18th century. Now about cakes - the drier the better they absorb the juice, you can’t chew it, you can store it for 14 days in the refrigerator, in another edition, it’s better to take it freshly squeezed with sour cream. Or such duality: “In the treatment of the stomach and 12p. do not drink gut juices, or drink at night. Let's get back to the cake, one tablespoon is like - flush with the edges, a small slide or a large one when it pours from the edges? First, you need to know the exact volume in a spoon, and then probably already roll the balls out of the volume. Not an unimportant factor. Where are the rational grains? In the books, for some reason, the narration comes from one person, then from another, maybe because of this and such a discrepancy in the recommendations, mind you, for the same disease. Or maybe forgetfulness according to what was written earlier. The distinction between the recovery between the stomach and the duodenum is vaguely visible, especially the order, what is the first thing? What break? The position of pain symptoms and source materials with the enumeration of flowers, herbs and cereals is not entirely clear. Since each treatment should begin with recovery and is quite universal with the help of cakes, juices and enzymes, and what to do with the source material for treatment, although you probably need to understand recovery, this is the first step of treatment, and to consolidate the second step, source material is given for complete cure according to the pain symptom. There are no clear recommendations for specific diagnoses, but human health is at stake.
In the book "Treatment of the Cardiovascular System" for some reason, several lines are given directly to the heart in the section: "Treatment of Heart Disease" (p. 27), and this is an hour before the steam room consumption of 50-100g. heart of a pig, for 15 minutes drinking kvass and daily consumption of 0.1 g. gray jaundice powder. How to use it and when is not said. And if a person has angina pectoris or stenosing coronary sclerosis, heart valves?
In the section "Stenosis of the vessels" (p. 78). It starts with the restoration of housing and communal services. With a salt balance, it is not clear when 1 g of salt is taken, followed by seaweed? What is the free space for whey if a 3 liter jar was covered with millet?
Link to the section "Cardiac arrhythmia". There is also a link to it for such a formidable disease as a heart attack, and this is 1. Restoration of the gastrointestinal tract (you need to understand the standard, I have already considered it above). Ferment juices and drink in the form of kvass (how much and when?). 2. Start eating seaweed. 3. Enzymes on adonis (jaundice) 2-3 times a day before meals. (In what quantity?). 4. Kvass from grapes (blueberries, strawberries, mulberries) without a norm one hour after eating. Is volume difficult to perceive? 5. A month after the use of enzymes - diaphoretic procedures. 6. Exclude alcohol, vegetable oils. 7. Massage. 8. Beets, peas, oats, potatoes, burdock, radishes should be consumed in sour form (how much, in what quantity?).
Treatment of a no less formidable stroke - there is a reference to "thrombophlebitis" (p. 73). And this is 1. Strong alkalization for 1-2 days. 2.Strong oxidation 1-month. 3. Put hot compresses from black radish for 2-3 weeks (from cake, juice, chunks?). Take natural gastric juice 2 tablespoons every hour, you can do more if the body requires it (in the form of thirst or what?).
In the section on "Intestinal hypertension" - how much is the reception of cake, how much to use the dough, when to use enzymes, kvass?
If a sick person cures gastro-intestinal and heart diseases with the help of such treatments, honor and praise, but which is unlikely. In the little books there is no clear and precise method of treatment (everything is somehow a chorus), understandable to a sick person. Bolotov is not a doctor, but he identified and grouped the directions of treatment of many diseases, and you doctors, whose names are on the covers of publications along with Bolotov, were simply obliged to develop a treatment method in the most detailed way, at least on the following points:
1. Concrete diagnosis.
2.Individuality.
3.Age.
4. Appointment and a clear distinction (order, break) in the treatment of organs. 5. Feelings at the beginning of treatment, during treatment, at the end of treatment.
6. Time of year for treatment.
7. Treatment for concomitant diseases.
8. Temporary indicators of reception (reception in minutes), differentiation.
9. Quantity at the reception.
10. Proper nutrition in time (duration).
11. Contraindications.
And the recommendation about growing new teeth, eyes, limbs with the help of celandine juice can only discredit in the eyes of readers. We have thousands without eyes, tens of millions without teeth, and at the present time without various limbs. Yes, for two and a half years of war, at least 70 percent of the disabled, according to this recommendation, should already cease to be disabled. In order not to look like folly, at least 100 people must be shown in the media of healing according to the methodology of these recommendations. Involve the programs: "Affects everyone" - A. Danilevich, "Ukraine Speaks" - A. Sukhanova and others. For the sake of such sensations, a green path will be laid out in front of you. Show the whole of Ukraine, otherwise everything is somehow in the backyard. And then there will be no such answers, especially doctors, and Bolotov is a surviving old man out of his mind, and the vast majority do not know who he is at all. And I wouldn't have known if I hadn't walked into the store because of the rain. Malakhov is known much more, because he is a frequent guest on TV screens. And where are you, dear healers of Ukraine, and for some reason publish in Russia, you don’t have your own publishing houses, do you even have to depend on another state for this? It's a shame for the state and you.

A distinctive feature of beet kvass according to Bolotov is the use of dairy products in his recipe - whey and sour cream. It is they who act as catalysts for the fermentation process, so you can refuse to use yeast that is not the most healthy for health. In addition, as a result of the use of dairy products, lactic acid bacteria remain in the drink, which have a beneficial effect on the digestion process.

A sign of the beginning of the fermentation process will be the foam that appears in a day.
During the fermentation period, it is necessary to check the product for the appearance of mold, which usually has to be removed every 2 days.

After a week, kvass should be placed overnight in a cool room, and in the morning put again in a warm place. It is better to use a basement for these purposes, but, in its absence, a refrigerator will do.

The whole process of making kvass in this way takes 10-15 days. From the indicated amount of products, about 3 liters of drink should be obtained.

Ingredients

- 1 kg + -
- 1 tsp + -
– 60-70 g + -
Whey milk— 2 l + -

Cooking

To begin with, we present a classic recipe in which not water is used as a liquid, but whey. This gives kvass completely different properties.

All proportions are based on a 3-liter jar - it is most convenient to use it.

We choose beets as red and ripe as possible - it contains the maximum amount of useful substances, and if it is also sweet, then sugar can be put purely symbolically.

We clean it raw and grind it in a blender or three on a grater. It can also be cut into small pieces. We put it in a bank.

To the whey bought in the store, mix separately half a spoonful of sour cream. If it is homemade, we filter, if necessary, to remove the remaining cottage cheese.
Add sugar and heat the whey a little so that it is warm. Above 35-40 ° C, it is by no means necessary to heat it.
Pour beets with warm sweetened whey, cover with several layers of gauze so that air can freely penetrate, and leave to ferment for a week.
After about a day, foam should appear, and after a couple of days, mold. Then kvass we open and remove it. This procedure must be repeated every 2-3 days.

After 7-8 days, when the fermentation intensifies, we put the kvass in the refrigerator for a day, and at night, if it is not too hot, we take it out.

For the final preparation of beet kvass according to Bolotov, 10-12 days are required. Ready we filter it through cheesecloth and bottle it.

We will get the greatest benefit from this drink if we take it on an empty stomach 3 times a day at least an hour and a half before meals. So the intestinal microflora is restored most quickly.

But what if there is no whey? Fortunately, it can be replaced with ordinary boiled water.

We fill a 3-liter jar by 2/3 with peeled and chopped dark ripe beets and dilute 1 tsp in 1.5 liters of warm boiled water. sour cream - its enzymes are needed for fermentation.
Fill the liquid almost to the brim, leaving just a couple of centimeters at the neck in the jar.
We cover, as in the previous recipe and leave to ferment.
Mold also needs to be removed, as well as sediment. It may appear on about the 5th day and so that the taste of kvass does not suffer, we will remove it. To do this, we must first drain the clear liquid, and then remove it from the bottom by rinsing the jar.
We fill the same beets with clean semi-finished kvass, and bring the volume to the required level with boiled water.

10 days after preparation, beet kvass according to Bolotov will be ready! Pour it into bottles and put it in the refrigerator.

Recipe for beet kvass with bread

If you want to speed up the preparation of a delicious drink, add a crust of bread to the root crop.

In this recipe, you will need much less beets - only 250-300 g per 3-liter jar. We clean it, three on a coarse grater, add a crust of rye bread, 3-4 tbsp. sugar, put everything in a jar and pour boiled water (how much will go in).

We leave it in a warm place for 3-4 days and that's it! Ready beet kvass according to Bolotov can be poured into bottles and served to guests and households.

As you can see, even in such a recipe, you can choose exactly those options that are right for you, because the cooking time and the availability of the necessary ingredients also play an important role.
