Cabbage is one of the healing marbles from the earth. I used the deep green leaves heated and mixed with kelp as a poultice to relieve liver cystic pain. I have also used this same poultice on the nap of my neck to relieve intense migraine headaches. Cabbage has something within that seems to stimulate the natural endorphins of the brain.  It is high in the element boron, necessary for bone strength. It is very high in vitamin C.  An observation: while taking cabbage juice daily I noticed my gray hairs returning to their natural color. Cabbage is a great protector of DNA; increasing the metabolism of estrogen by products through the liver.  Cabbage juice has a sulfuric odor. The sulfurins are what make cabbage so health giving.The sulfurins, the smelly part of cabbage is what researchers have found to be a powerful antioxidant. Cabbage juice provides 607 mg of potassium, or 17 percent of the 3,500 mg Food and Drug Administration daily value. Potassium and sodium regulate the body’s fluid balance.

After juicing cabbage, I notice that I must immediately take the pulp to the compost heap or if I am traveling, I will wrap it in a double plastic bag and toss it. The smell of the sulfurins takes over the room. These sulfurs are the antioxidants at work protecting the integrity of our DNA. Cabbage juice benefits.

Another recipe for Cabbage Juice
Sometimes cabbage is a bit pungent. To cut this try juicing an apple first, then the cabbage. Cut and core an apple removing the seeds. Apple seeds contain arsenic. Put the apple slices through the juicer. Reserve this apple juice as a chaser for the cabbage juice. Without cleaning the juicer, slice a quarter of a cabbage so the pieces can easily fit through the juicer. This can be green or red cabbage. I find Savoy cabbage to be the most pleasant tasting. I put this through the juicer and then I put about 10 almonds through the juicer as well. I drink the cabbage almond juice first and follow it with the apple juice.

Apple Juice

Ingredients
2 apples cut up cored

Instructions
Put apples through an apple-slicing device or cut  the seeds out and slice into wedges that will fit through the juicer. Juice wedges in the juicer. Golden delicious, Fuji, and Gala are delicious for juicing. There is another variety called Gravenstein from Sebastopol California, from the Russian River area of California. I really enjoy Gravensteins. They cannot be stored and must be eaten at the time of harvest. Gravensteins have a short peak season. Apple seeds contain arsenic and are to be avoided.

When making my daily juices, I juice the apples first and without cleaning the juice machine, I will then juice cabbage. This yields a much sweeter and a less sulfuric cabbage juice. I drink all juices immediately or within 20 minutes so they do not develop a yeast ferment which causes my liver cysts to grow.  Yield: 6 ounces of apple juice
