Everyone knows that Sweet Potatoes have health benefits… but did you know that Sweet Potato Leaves are healing?
Sweet Potato Leaves are packed full of great antioxidants… also vitamin C making it great for fighting off free radicals thus preventing premature aging and disease.
Sweet Potato Leaves boost the immune system and thus helping to prevent infections and disease.
And the leaves and the rest of the plant may work wonders for balancing out blood sugar making great for diabetics. It contains a substance called FIBL… that in studies done on mice did lower blood sugar levels.

And some find that Sweet Potato Leaves reduce fevers making it great for colds and flues.
Sweet Potato Leaves are great for skin problems too… such as bug bites, burns, and scrapes.

How can i cook potato leaves
Hi-Helen,
The same way you would cook any other kind of green leafy veggie – sautéed, used in stews, and added to meat dishes and more.
Thank You for the Question.

Hi Dr. Paul Haider… I’ve been drinking sweet potato juice for sometime and was so excited to read these benefits. Actually we use the sweet potato tops as salad, and I set aside the boiled water/stock and mix it with coffee and ginger.
Yes Sweet Potato juice, greens, and stock will do the body good. – Keep up the Great Work

Kindly help me with the scientific studies manuscript to help me convince my other colleagues. I know this article iis published out of well-researched protocol. Thank you for the anticipted positive response, goodman.
At this time we don’t have millions of dollars like the drugs companies to
research natural remedies… and when they do they are abandoned like that of “Sour Sop Leaves” for cancer
It was proven to work but the drug companies would not let the research continue.
I also have friends who are University researchers that have worked on Vitamin C and cancer treatment and their papers
are laughed at at all the scholarly meetings even though they have proof.
But things are changing, I hope that in the future lots of natural remedies will be researched deeply with
lots of money and be giving freely to everyone because we all deserve great health.
But I don’t think it will come in my time.
But I am hopeful.
For now we work from 20 plus years of experience in the field of natural health.
Thank You for your great question.

I have kidney disease and was dying… and I found western medicine no help at all.
I found a Chinese Doctor that had teas he gave me that did not have any scientific background and basis.
But 20 years later I am still alive… not everything has been proven by science – I am a Minister too.
There is much more going on than we understand.
Give me an herbalist any time over a doctor
over the last 20 years 1 million people have died because of doctor prescribed drugs and such.
Less than 100 from herbal products.
Dr. Paul Haider – Master Herbalist

Thanks you inadvance
Hi-Tony,
It is important to change your diet – I had kidney disease, high blood pressure, terrible arthritis for 40 years, and more and it all disappeared when I went to the Whole Foods Plant Based Diet.
Here is what I recommend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Whole Foods Plant Based Diet
Works for many people – I lost 40 lbs, my arthritis of 40 years disappeared, my kidney disease disappeared, my high blood pressure disappeared, I sleep like I baby now, no more aches, or pains of any kind. – Attached you will see a before and after picture of me – this was in 3 weeks with no change in exercise.
First of all you need to drink a lot of water – at least 10 glasses of water a day – I recommend at least 1/2 liter in the morning and 1/2 liter in the afternoon and more. – Drink Reverse Osmosis Water – You can buy these machines at any home repair center like Home Depot for very little money – it is the best water – even kidney doctors recommend this water for their patients. This is what we drink at home – our water is polluted and has lots of toxins in it – so please get this device and filter your water.
OK – Here we go. – Whole Foods/Plant Based Diet
Drink 2 – 8 oz glasses of green alkalising juice in the per day – Kale, Cabbage, Swiss Chard, Turnip Greens, Beet Greens, and any other kind of green leafy veggie you can find.
Take 3,000 mgs of Chlorella per day. – you can buy this in 1,000 mg tablets – it is a green algae that has over 60 different nutrients in it and it will do your body good – Powerful
Get up at 6 AM – Go to be at 10 PM. – you need to reset your circadian rhythms – you have two little cells that flash on and off per second in every organ of your body and your heart and they know when you should be sleeping and should be up. – If you go against this way of living you shorten your life span.
First thing in the morning after going to the bathroom – sit down and concentrate on your breathing – breathing in and out, if a thought comes in, say – I will get to that later and go back to your breathing. Do this for 30 Minutes – this gives the mind/body a rest. Even during sleep your mind is not resting – this turns it off for a little while – it takes practice and surrender to the process. Even Dr. Dean Ornish recommends Meditation – and it has nothing to do with Religion – it is about healing – and we now know that people meditate have good genes expressed and bad genes are shut off and not expressed- Wow! Amazing Stuff. – Meditate for 30 minutes first thing in the Morning and about 5PM in the afternoon for 30 Minutes. – It will do your body good.
Breakfast – Have breakfast in the morning with 1 1/2 cups of fruit – and 1/2 cup of almond
>milk or nut milk of any kind… and 1/2 cup of raw flattened oatmeal – rolled oats. Good old old fashioned Quaker Oats – but don’t cook it – just plain and use stevia.
Use any kinds of fruits you want – papaya, apples, mangos, berries, strawberries, what ever makes your heart sing – all raw – OK- the more different colors the better.
Have a green salad for lunch, with lots of veggies, all raw. – Cooked food is seen by the body as an invader so you want to eat at least 75% or more raw foods – It is healing.
Have lots of different colored foods in your salad, red, yellow, green, purple, all the colors of the rainbow in your beautiful salad – it is healing – colored veggies are full of antioxidants that are healing.
Drink Green Tea – 3 small cups a day – full of polyphenols that are super healing.
In between eat carrot sticks and fruit of any kind as snacks – should have 3 snacks a day.
For Dinner here is a soup that you can make at home and it is very healing –
Make a soup of broccoli, cabbage, kake, swiss chard, turnip greens, been greens, and any other green that you like.
Also add 4 cups of beans of your choice like pink beans, garbanzos, lentils, all of the beans are great.
Don’t use canned foods – cook the beans yourself – canned foods are toxic. – lots of chemicals in linings of the cans.
Use low sodium or no sodium veggie broth to cook this soup.
You can eat as much as you like of this soup in the evening.
If you want something sweet once in a while have some Sorbet – take frozen bananas and any other kind of fruit and blend them in a powerful blender and you have a great sorbet – you can add some stevia if you like – great tasting.
Also remove the following from your life.
No meat, no chicken, no fish, no seafood, no eggs, no cheese, no milk, no added oils, no canned foods, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial anything, no chemicals of any kind, if you don’t know what it is don’t eat it.
No alcohol, no highly spiced food, and use very little salt, no fast food, no processed food, if in doubt don’t eat it.
No wheat, no bread, no barley, no spelt – all of these are highly inflammatory.
No GMO foods – all of these are highly inflammatory.
Eat organic if possible – that is the best.
If you want protein eat Tofu, Beans, Nuts, Seeds, – organic.
You only need 5 or 6 % protein and that is exactly what you get on this diet.
Watch the movie “Forks Over Knives” and “Food Matters” – you will find them on the internet.
Also watch the movie “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” – very good.
Also watch the movie “Beautiful Truth” and “The Gerson Miracle”
Exercise every day – walk – work up to 5 miles a day – if it is hot walk in a mall where it is cool.
or swim – work up to 5 miles swimming.
Or you could bike ride or any other exercise.
Get out and have fun, have a life with friends…. that is important too.
Start planting a garden – you need organic veggies – and working in a garden is very healing.
Start a community garden so everyone can heal. – that would be a great project.
Think positive thoughts, the mind/body is one and science has proven this now – it is a fact.
Laugh – it is very healing
Forgive, forget, and let go–that is important if you hold resentments and anger it hurts your liver – science has proven this too.
Well all for now.

Dear Dr Paul Haider, my wife was diagnosed with FSGS kidney disease and her Creatinine now at 335 while Urea at 20. Trying very hard to prevent it from failing further as the GFR is less than 15% now. I’m trying out sweet potato leaves blended with a green apple for her as well as boiled the juice with some ginger for her consumption daily. My mum in law even recommended chinese herbs called Shui Gui Cao ( wandering jew : zebrinae Pendula Herba) for her and this make me a bit confused as whether can she mixed taking the drinks together. Currently also undergoing a meditation therapy called Brainwave Quantum Healing to improve her condition. Hope to hear some fruitful advices from Dr Haider.

Your Welcome – Great to Know – Many Blessings to You David – Dr. Haider
Good to know all these good things about potato leaves. Thanks for sharing.
Your Welcome Anthony – Many Blessings My Friend – Dr. Haider
Dear Dr. Paul Haider,
I came on the internet to check to see what, “Nutrition Benefits was in Sweet Potatoes Leaves.” As result, I found your site. This all took place after I was lead (by the Lord) to do something, that tried out, and found it was releasing the pains I have suffer in my Right Knee, now for over a year.
I was thinking one day, if we can eat Sweet Potatoes, why we do not eat the Leaves also. I was raised in the country and we planted almost everything we ate accept a very few things like Flour and Sugar.
I planted a potato about three years ago along with other Herbs Plants at my doorstep. Each year the sweet potatoes vine grow more and more. This year the vine and leaves are all over the place. 3 years times, the vine has taken over.
I decided to try what has been in my mind to do: I went to Food-4-Less and I got 2-Turnip Greens, 2-Mustard Green, and 2-Kale Green, and not as many sweet potatoes leave only. I cooked them all together. I felt a different in my health, which was a good thing (LOL-I am yet alive); so the next week, I done the same thing, this time I put as many S.P.L as I had of the others green. I was yet feeling good.
The third week, I decided to just get 1-Turnip, 1-Mustard, and 1-Kale-This time, I added more S.P.L. The next morning, after eating them, I knew what was taking place in my body. My right knee has been giving me so much problems. As time I felt like I was going to blank out from the pains, now I am not experiencing the same pains as I have been, so I went out and pick me nothing but the Potatoes Leave and cooked them, I know that I know it from me eating the S.P.L.
Let me really telling you what I have been going through with my knees, the right one is the worth. I am a Senior Citizen 70+ years of age. I am also a student at CA ST getting a BA at a University. A few years ago, I had to started to use the Scooter that my doctor got for me in 2003, and I used it for about five times, before last four or five years. I tried my best not to depend on that Scooter. When I first started to school in 2007, I took a walking class, and as I walked my knee got stronger and my it didn’t hurt me for a few years, then I got sick and couldn’t do my walking. It started back and had got worse than before, this also cause me to hurt so bad, I had to watch how I move it. If I was getting out my car and turn it a little, it hurt so bad, I feel like I was going to blank out.
Now, for about a month, it is different. I can laid down a night without it hurting so bad, I can get up without taken my hand and lifting it up to get up. I know the potatoes Leaves is going it because I miss a day just to see and I feed the pains again. I am thinking to my self, I would rather eat Potatoes Leave every day than to take the IBPROFEN the doctor gave me. I only took them once and it did not stop the pain when I move around.
Here are other Herbs I take of which I have been taking for sometime, and they didn’t stopped the pains: Osteo Bi-Flex joint Health, I recently started to take Magnesium-500 mg, B-12 1000 mcg before I started the S.P.L.—Tired of hurting when I would moved my knee or cross it.
After started to eating the Sweet Potatoes Leave, I even make me a soup out of it. This last week I went to Costco and got some, “Chicken & Vegetable WONTON SOUP.” I put some S.P. L. in the soup, and added a small bag of Lettuce and I am giving PRAISES to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope this help someone else, because it sure help me.

Animal protein and also wheat causes acid in the body and acid causes inflammation and that inflammation causes disease and pain.
And this can also lead to cancer, prostate disease, heart attacks, and more
This means no beef, no chicken, no turkey, no fish, no seafood, no eggs, no milk, no cheese, no yogurt, no nothing that is connected to animals.
Animal protein and wheat are Not Good.
Also no Barley, Spelt, and Rye – they are also highly inflammatory
All this info is all in my diet
You can have all of this pain disappear if you follow my– Whole Foods Plant Based Diet – Exactly – OK
And you need to eat at least 90% raw food – all live enzymes are destroyed with cooking and we need live enzymes for all our chemical rations and for keeping inflammation down.
Also all cooked food loses up to 75% of all nutrition – Not Good
And no tea or coffee for you — inflammatory in your case.

Healthy Gut from Eating Plants Prevents Chronic Diseases
A diet high in fiber from plant-based foods can enhance the activity and composition of the gut microbiota. According to a recent article published in Practical Diabetology, a diet high in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables can reduce inflammation and prevent obesity and diabetes by enhancing the growth of healthy bacteria. A diet high in fat and animal products can lead to overgrowth of bacteria that cause inflammation and increase the risk of diabetes and certain types of cancer. Other healthy lifestyles choices such as exercising, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can also help. However, most experts agree that nutrition plays the most prominent role in improving gut health.
