Cabbage (Juice) / Ulcers - Diverticulosis

Herb Of The Week / Cabbage (Juice) / Ulcers - Diverticulosis
- Colon Cancer

If you own a juicer one of the best juices you can be drinking is
cabbage juice. Most of know that cabbage juice is good for you stomach
and digestion but it goes way, way beyond just an upset stomach.
Cabbage juice has proven in research studies to heal ulcers. In fact
cabbage juice contains an ingredient that is used in the making of
pharmaceutical drugs for ulcers.


Cabbage as a cruciferous vegetable has numerous anti-cancer and
antioxidant compounds. The great thing about juicing is that raw
cabbage is more beneficial than cooked as heat destroys some of the
components. By juicing the cabbage, you get it fresh and you get more
of it. Cabbage, especially the juice, suppresses growth of polyps, a
prelude to colon cancer. Now here is a question. If colon cancer is
reduced to 66% on men that eat a serving of cooked cabbage once per
week and cabbage is better served raw, then imagine the health
benefits of drinking raw cabbage juice. Stomach cancer is also less
risked if two tbsp. of cooked cabbage is consumed daily. Again,
imagine the health benefits of drinking raw cabbage juice.


Time for a testimonial: I had a severe pain on the left side of my
stomach. The doctors gave me medicine to suppress acid. This didn't
work. Another doctor at a different clinic (I was a traveling
salesman) said I wasn't producing enough stomach acid and prescribed
medication for that. The crazy thing is they were guessing. Next I
got pain pills. The problem was the doctors claimed that they needed
to go by the by the process of elimination and not figure the worst.
After a while I threw a fit and DEMANDED that the appropriate tests be
given to figure out what the problem. So next came the tests. Upper
GI's. CAT scans. Butt probes. etc. The pain continued. And then... one
day I was in a health food store in Casper WY having my usual,
Carrot-Apple-Beet juice, and in strolls this cowboy up to the juice
bar and the counter guy fixes him cabbage juice with just a little
apple for taste. He drinks it straight down and leaves. I asked what
that was all about. The counterman said that he was diagnosed with
advanced colon cancer and given about a year to live ABOUT 10 YEARS
AGO!!!


I ordered some cabbage juice, and since I had a juicer I juiced
cabbages frequently... although not everyday and then one day I
noticed..... the pain in my side was gone.

Draw your own conclusions. But why take my word for it?

Until next time remember .... most illness (upwards of 80% according
to experts) can be attributed to FOUR important factors that can
weaken your immune system and your ability to fight off disease:


1. Anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, guilt and other STRESS
factors
2. Improper and/or inadequate NUTRITION habits
3. A sedentary lifestyle that does not include enough EXERCISE
4. Not enough rest and quality SLEEP time

The United States Surgeon General warned Americans in a landmark 1988
report on Nutrition and Health that "diet related diseases account for
68% of U.S. deaths"
