Summary
Beet juice was reported by barbc56 as not having helped at all, though she clarified she does not believe beet juice caused the general worsening she was experiencing around the same time. She had actually tried cooked beets rather than juice itself, and experienced beeturia, red-tinged urine, as a side effect. No illness duration or severity was stated beyond her ongoing muscle fatigue and burning. Those symptoms continued unchanged by the beets. The post gives no follow-up on whether she later tried juiced beets specifically.
