I've worked in a pharmacy for 7 years and NEVER heard anyone that couldn't take this. The last day or so, when I get dizzy/brain zaps, I have been taking meclizine (an antihistamine, like benadryl) during the day because it doesn't make me sleepy. It helps with the dizzinesss, brain zaps, and eye twitch type symptoms. It helps alot, but doesn't completely make it go away. At least I can handle it.
Place beets in a large stockpot with water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes depending on the size of the beets. If beets are large, cut them into quarters. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the beet water, cool and peel. Sterilize jars and lids by immersing in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Fill each jar with beets and add several whole cloves to each jar. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, beet water, vinegar, and pickling salt.
So, if you want to boil your beets, the easiest way is to clean them, then place them in a saucepan deep enough to let you cover them with water. Add a touch of salt and, if you donât want the color to run, a splash of vinegar. Put them on the stove and boil until a fork is easily inserted into the flesh of beet. That could be anywhere from 35 minutes to 75 minutes or so, depending on the size of the beets. When the beets are done, remove them from the stove and run cold water over them. That will make them easier to peel. This process is the same if you are using red or golden beets.
