1) Make a juice of Parsley By extracting it in a blender---take the Parsley and clean with either vinegar—or lemon juice—or GSE or Peroxide and afterwards rinse well—then add ½ cup of water to the blender and as well a small amount of parsley to get started—the feed it through the opening of the lid of the blender ( most blenders have a lid and in the centre has a fixture to be able to remove—through that opening with the lid on feed the blender with the parsley ) –if the blender bogs down add more water to allow for better breaking and mulching of the parsley-when the blender is filled and is mixed then stop blender and pour contents through a filter bag or handkerchief filter into a glass jar or bowl—allow to drain and then ring out the rest into the container—and repeat the process till you have used up the parlsey—You can add other herbs or Veges with this to make a herbal/vege combo to enhance the health and vitality—as you can see there are some of the things Parsley has been used for in treating and healing
2) Make a tea with Parsley by adding parsley dried or fresh in water and allow to simmer or boil—again this can be combo’d---if you are a diabetic a good combination might be juniper berry 10 berries or 1 teaspoon dried—cinnamon bark 2-3 strips ( 3-4 inches in length ) or 1 tsp of cinnamon powder- 1 tsp of celery seed-add your ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes and then allow to simmer—use this regularly throughout the day—the impact of this comb will increase urine flow( assist in the removal of build up of yeast and sugar) will increase insulin naturally—assisting the pancreas- will bind with estrogens and remove from the system and will increase immune system functions of different pathogens and pollutants—secondary effect may see a reduce level of pain and inflammation

Health Benefits of Parsley
A sprig of parsley can provide much more than a decoration on your plate. Parsley contains two types of unusual components that provide unique health benefits. The first type is volatile oil components-including myristicin, limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene. The second type is flavonoids-including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol, and luteolin. –Anti Cancer and Estrogen Blocking and Removing Bioflavonoids--Historical or Theoretical Uses Of parsley: Abortifacient, acne, antiaging, anticarcinogenic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory , antiplatelet effects, aphrodisiac, arthritis, bronchitis, bruises, burns, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders, common cold, contusions, deodorant , detoxification, diabetes, digestive aid, diuretic , epilepsy, antiestrogenic effects, flavoring ,gastrointestinal disorders, halitosis , Helicobacter pylori infection, hepatoprotection, immune system stimulant, insect bites, iron deficiency anemia, itching, kidney cleanser, laxative, menstrual cramps, osteoporosis, pain, premenstrual syndrome, prostate cancer , skin diseases, sleep enhancement, snakebite, tonic, ulcers, upset stomach, urinary tract infections.
Analgesics: Based on animal study, an ethanolic extract of parsley leaves had analgesic effects in the writhing and formalin tests .
Antibiotics: In vitro study has suggested that parsley, as well as its essential oil and constituents, may have antibacterial effects including effects against foodborne pathogens
Anticholinesterase inhibitors: Based on in vitro study, parsley extract had acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity –Meaning this assisited the brain for a longer lasting effect on brain function and neurol communication and kept the acetylcholine from breaking down
Anticoagulants and antiplatelets: Parsley has been reported to decrease blood coagulation in humans but in separate human study did not inhibit platelet aggregation, thromboxane A2, factor VII, or other hemostatic variables. In animal study, parsley extract inhibited platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo and prolonged bleeding time , and platelet aggregation inhibitory effects have also been shown in vitro.
Antidiabetic agents: Petroselinum crispum is traditionally used to treat diabetes in Turkey. Based on animal study, parsley administration significantly prevented an increase in blood glucose in diabetic rats (8). In rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes, a parsley extract was shown to decrease levels of blood glucose. Based on an animal diabetic model, parsley reduced blood glucose, as well as alanine transaminase and alkaline phosphatase levels, and protected against degenerative changes in the liver of the animals. Parsley did not protect against diabetes-induced impairments of rat skins or affect the number of secretory granules and cells in islets and other morphologic changes in pancreatic B cells.
Antihypertensives: Some human and animal study suggested that parsley has a diuretic effect. According to secondary sources, German physicians routinely prescribe parsley as a diuretic for the treatment of hypertension.
Anti-inflammatory agents: Based on animal study, an ethanolic extract of parsley leaves (Petroselinum crispum) exhibited protection against carrageenan-induced inflammation and cotton pellet-induced granulomas (32).
Antineoplastic agents: Based on in vitro study, parsley exhibited a marked toxicity against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CEM-C7H2, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 3.5mcM/L (9). The IC50 is a measure of the effectiveness of a compound in inhibiting a biological or biochemical function. Based on secondary sources, psoralen, a substance found in parsley, showed some promise as a treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in preliminary study.
Antispasmodic agents: Based on animal study, the hydroalcoholic extract of parsley seed had a relaxation effect on the ileal contraction, potentially by blocking voltage-gated calcium channels.
Antiulcer agents: Based on animal study, an ethanolic extract of parsley (Petroselinum crispum), had antiulcerogenic activity. Furthermore, ethanol-induced depleted gastric wall mucus and nonprotein sulfhydryl contents were replenished by pretreatment with the parsley extract. Based on in vitro study, aqueous extracts of parsley had bactericidal effects against Helicobacter pylori and inhibited adhesion of the bacteria to animal stomach section.-Parsley Tea-
Cytochrome P450-metabolized agents: Inhibitory effects of parsley against human cytochrome P450 1A2 in vitro were potentially due to its constituents, such as psoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen, 8-methoxypsoralen, and apigenin (20). Based on animal study, parsley prolonged the action of pentobarbital, and the analgesic actions of aminopyrine and paracetamol; cytochrome P450 in the liver homogenate was decreased.—In Other words do not mix with Medications due to the fact it will allow more to be taken in to your system
Diuretics: Some human and animal study suggested that parsley has a diuretic effect. Rats, which were offered water with an aqueous extract of parsley, excreted a significantly larger amount of urine per 24 hours than the controls. Based on in vitro study, Asparagus P®, a traditional herbal medicine containing parsley, stimulated the metabolism of distal tubule-derived Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells and proximal tubule-derived opossum kidney (OK) cells.
Drugs used for osteoporosis: Based on a review, parsley can inhibit bone resorption in ovariectomized rats.
Gastrointestinal agents: Based on animal study, an ethanolic extract of parsley (Petroselinum crispum), had antiulcerogenic activity. Furthermore, ethanol-induced depleted gastric wall mucus and nonprotein sulfhydryl contents were replenished by pretreatment with the parsley extract. Based on in vitro study, aqueous extracts of parsley had bactericidal effects againstHelicobacter pylori and inhibited adhesion of the bacteria to animal stomach section. According to secondary sources, parsley has been reported to reduce indigestion.
Immunosuppressants: Parsley was an ingredient in a syrup shown to increase immune response in children known to catch colds often. The role of parsley is unknown.
Laxatives: In animal study, parsley has shown laxative effects.
Oxytocics: Parsley oil contains two potent uterine stimulants, apiol and myristicin; from the mid-19th Century to the early 20th Century, parsley oil was routinely prescribed to promote uterine contractions. This practice halted in the early 20th Century. In 1968, parsley was reported to have been used as an abortifacient (miscarriage inducer). Therefore, parsley might potentiate the effectiveness of drugs such as pitocin and methergine, which stimulate uterine contractions.
Sleep enhancement agents: Based on animal study, parsley increased ketamine-induced sleeping time

Dosages (Parsley) — 100–150 g fresh juice (MAD); 6 g leaf (HH2; KOM; SHT); 1–2 tsp dry leaf/cup water (APA); 1–2 tsp dry root/cup water (APA); 2–4 g root, or in tea (CAN); 2 g root in tea 2–3 ×/day (HH2); 2.5–5 ml liquid root extract (PNC); 1–2 g seed (CAN); 500–1500 mg seed (MAD); 1 tsp (~1.4 g) bruised seed/cup water (APA); 2.5–5 ml liquid seed extract (PNC); 2–4 g herb, or in tea (CAN); 6 g herb (KOM); 2–4 tbsp fresh herb (PED); 3–6 g dry herb (PED); 4.5 g dry herb:22 ml alcohol/23 ml water (PED); 6 g herb or root/day (PH2); 2–4 ml herb or root liquid extract (1:1 in 25% ethanol) 3 ×/day (CAN); 3–4 drops parley oil as diuretic, or 2–4 fl oz infusion 3–4 ×/day (FEL). “The leaves, bruised, are a good application to contusions, swelled breasts, and enlarged glands — reputed to ‘dry up the milk’ (FEL).” Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Parsley) — Class 2b. Contraindicated in nephrosis (AHP). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2). Commission E approves the herb and root, not the seed (fruit) (KOM). CAN cautions that the apiole in the volatile oil and excessive ingestion can be abortifacient, irritant, photo-toxic, and cause hepatosis. In pregnancy and lactation, parsley should not be ingested excessively (CAN). Myristicin can cause deafness, decrease in pulse rate, giddiness, hypotension, and paralysis, followed by fatty degeneration of the kidney and liver. Myristicin may cross the placenta, leading to fetal tachycardia. Ingestion of 10 g apiole (200 g parsley) may cause acute hemolytic anemia, hepatic dysfunction, nephrosis, and thrombocytopenia pupura (CAN). Parsley may potentiate MAOI activity (CAN). Because of its toxicity, EO should not be used in isolation (KOM). Commission E is rather tough on parsley seed oil, but the indictment, overblown or not, might conceivably be extended to other herbs containing apiole and myristicin. Of apiole, “Large doses of parsley-seed EO and of ... apiol bring about vascular congestion and increased contractility of the smooth muscle of the bladder, intestines, and especially the uterus. Parsley seed and oil are therefore often used to bring about abortion.” (BIS) The renal epithelium can be damaged or irritated and cardiac arrhythmias can occur after using parsley seed preparations (BIS). “Large doses of apiol can lead to fatty liver, emaciation, extensive mucosal bleeding, and inflammatory haemorrhagic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract, haemoglobinuria, methaeglobinuria, and anuria. Therapeutic use cannot be endorsed” (Commission E, as interpreted by Bisset, 1994). Commission E reports contraindications: pregnancy and nephrosis; adverse effects: allergic reactions of skin/mucosae (rarely) and phototoxicity. The pure oil is toxic and should not be used. Fruit not permitted for therapeutic use. The EO and its constituent apiole are toxic (AEH). When parsley is decocted it is emmenagogue and abortive. A young woman, in 1992, reportedly died while trying to abort. “Even the common parsley mentioned earlier can cause serious injuries; oedema of the legs, vomiting, haematuria, liver and renal damage have all been observed. However, poisoning by this plant is never accidental, but always voluntary, so the plant can be used safely in preparing food” (FIT67(6):513. 1996). Extracts (Parsley) — Water extracts are antihistaminic (CAN). EO = antiseptic, carminative, diuretic, emmenagogue, hepatoregenerative; hypotensive, increases plasma calcium (CAN; PED; PNC). Phthalides are sedative in mice (PNC). Apiole LD50 = 50 mg/kg ivn mouse (CAN); Mmyristicin LD50 = 200 mg/kg ivn mouse (CAN). Seed EO LD50 = 3300 mg/kg orl mouse/rat (HH2). Speaking of apiole or parsley seed EO, MAD says with male guinea pigs, “erzeugt es Kongestion am Penis, anhaltened Erektion and lebhafte geschlechtliche Erregung.”( if it generates Kongestion in the penis, anhaltened-- erection and lively sexual excitement)
IThis in combination with celery seed may increase blood flow and Testosterone in males and women and potentiate the sexual organs---you would spread this over food or use in soups and with teas--- when juiced with dandelion it is a blood purifier and hormone regulator and kidney and liver support

Many cardiovascular diseases are associated with an increase in blood platelet activity. In Morocco, parsley (Petroselinum crispum, Apiaceae) is one of the medicinal herbs used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension. In this study, crude aqueous extract (CAE) of parsley was evaluated for its anti-platelet activity in experimental animals on platelet aggregation in vitro and ex vivo; and on bleeding time in vivo. The in vitro aggregation was monitored after pre-incubation of platelets with CAE. The bleeding time and ex vivo aggregation were performed after oral treatment. CAE inhibited dose dependently platelet aggregation in vitro induced by thrombin, ADP, collagen and epinephrine. The oral administration of CAE (3g/kg) inhibited significantly (p<0.001) platelet aggregation ex vivo and prolonged bleeding time (p<0.001) without changes in the platelet amount. The prolongation of bleeding time by CAE may be attributed to the observed inhibition of platelet aggregation. These effects could be related in part to the polyphenolic compounds present in the extract. These results support the hypothesis that the dietary intake of parsley may be benefit in the normalization of platelet hyperactivation, in the nutritional prevention of cardiovascular diseases and are potentially interesting in the development of new prevention strategies.
