Cultured Cabbage Juice - Make the Best Lactobacteria
A prime requirement for health is to improve the flora of your gut! Instead of spending big bucks for all the pseudo gut bacteria that's being pushed, here is simple, cheap and very effective way make your own the traditional way. As is almost always the case, the best medicine is yet again a food...
..."Specific types of live bacteria called probiotics live in the human gut. Take them in the right amount for the right illness and they fight disease.
Probiotics can relieve lactose intolerance, prevent allergies and bladder and vaginal infections. That's why Dr. Gregor Reid, a professor of microbiology at the University of Western Ontario, is fighting so hard to promote them."...

CULTURED CABBAGE JUICE
To implant friendly lactobacteria in the colon and heal damaged mucus membranes of the G.I. tract, you need to drink about 1 and 1/2 cup daily of cultured cabbage juice. Here is how to make it. Fill blender with chopped green cabbage and add distilled water until about 2/3 full. (Do not use well water or tap water). Beat at high speed in the blender for one minute. Pour mixture into bowl and repeat with two more batches. Cover with Seran wrap or similar material and let stand at room temperature. After 3 days, the cabbage juice solution is ready to use. Strain the mixture to separate the liquid from the pulp. Place the cultured cabbage juice in refrigerator. Drink 1/2 cup of this solution diluted with an equal part of water 2 or 3 times each day. When your supply gets low, make second batch just like the first one, except, add 1/2 cup of the juice from the first batch to the second batch. Your second batch will be ready just 24 hours.
This process may be repeated indefinitely. Each serving contains several billion friendly lactobacteria. The lactic acid in the culture cabbage juice will purify the G.I. tract and kill most strains of fungi parasites and other pathogens.
You should drink this mixture until your stools float in the toilet bowl and are odor free. When that happens, you may lower your dosage of cultured cabbage juice to one serving each day as maintenance dosage. You may eat one cup of raw cabbage as a substitute for 1/2 cup of cultured cabbage juice.
Excerpted from "Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy" By Conrad Lebeau. 11th Edition
"This little book could save your life!, March 7, 2001.
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is perhaps THE best kept secret of the mainstream medical community! Why? Because it works! This little book puts in simple text how H2O2 is nothing more than water with an extra molecule of oxygen, and how ingesting diluted 35% food grade H2O2 can put you on the road to a disease free life. It dispels the myth that H2O2 is somehow BAD for you, which couldn't be further from the truth! Using a recipe in this book, I made an "Oxygel" which I then used to treat and remove a pre-cancerous keratinoma from my arm which my doctor says would have resulted in a melanoma eventually! A natural chemo-therapy? You make the call. This book is a MUST for anyone interested in being disease free! Stop being brainwashed and led around with a nose ring by today's conventional medical community whose own self serving, money hungry interests are keeping you from being your best!"

I suppose one would get the same effect with good old-fashioned home made saurkraut would you not? The only difference would be the salt - but if it were celtic salt it may be healthier?
Posted by: Vicki Kushner on October 31, 2003 04:55 AM
I should avoid salt as it is an enzyme inhibitor although Potassium Chloride is an enhancer - in some cultures (i.e. India) this is traditionaly used with Sodium Chloride. One could consider Celtic salt as balanced if you had the confidence of the source or some one had checked it out.
Posted by: Chris Gupta on November 3, 2003 08:32 PM
Generally, raw cabbage should be avoided by those who are hypothyroid. Do you know whether this cultured cabbage is anti-thyroid? Perhaps the fermentation process makes the cabbage fine for those with underactive thyroid glands. Thanks

Does drinking this cabbage fermentation juice cause the body to have smelly odors? Please advise. Thank you.
Posted by: Chris Gupta on November 5, 2003 04:57 PM
Sally Fallon states that raw cabbage that has been cultured is not goitrogenic. It is only raw cabbage that can affect the thyroid. My personal experience with cultured vegetables and kefir milk this year, has been ALL GOOD. Having had CFS for 21 years and severe digestive problems, this Food as Medicine has been outstanding!!

What kind of cabbage juice do I drink for my infection (vagina and/or ulcer)? Do I drink red,green,etc.?
Posted by: Phoenix Nguyen on March 18, 2004 12:12 AM
where can i buy cabbage juice (in a store not online)?
Posted by: Denise on March 18, 2004 12:17 AM
Phoenix, any kind of organic cabbage should work. My preference is green cabbage.
For some types of ulcers a table spoon or two of unrefined Olive Oil works great.
For vagina a capsule or two of high potency Probiotics may also work.
But their is no substitute for building good gut bacteria.

I own a juicer. Would juicing the cabbage work just as well?
Posted by: Terri Williams on April 28, 2004 08:42 AM
Terry, Cabbage juice would work but probably not as well. Also it is very potent as a juice so you need a good stomch for it...
Posted by: Chris Gupta on April 29, 2004 07:15 PM
Hi Chris,
What are the bad or unpleasant side effects from cultured cabbage juice? And are there any medical conditions where you would suggest not taking this juice?
Thanks.
Posted by: Sue on June 2, 2004 05:38 AM
I am not aware of any other than allergy or taste. See other comments above also. You will have to try a little at a time to find out yourself and/or work with a practitioner who knows which end is up.
Posted by: Chris Gupta on June 2, 2004 04:47 PM
I just made my first batch of cabbage juice. When I drink the juice do I use also distilled water to dillute it or would filtered tap water work fine? I expected the juice to be sour, but it was not at all. It has more like a mild cabbage taste. Is this how it should taste?
Posted by: Alexandra on December 14, 2004 02:23 PM
Any drinkable water to dillute is fine. It will change taste as you continue fermenting it - one can adjust the taste by controlling this...
Posted by: Chris Gupta on December 14, 2004 07:05 PM
Thank you so much Chris for your answer to my questions. When you say that one can adjust the taste by controlling this......,
what exactly do you mean. How could I control it?
Posted by: Alexandra on December 16, 2004 04:51 PM
You can adjust the fermentation time, instead of 3 days try 4 or 2 etc.

Was scanning the posts looking for something and I came across a note on salt (Nov 2003) No salt is balanced if it is refined.
If 1 Tblpsn of refined salt is left in a glass of water overnight it will still be visible at the bottom of the glass in the morning. If the same is done with seasalt, in the morning it will have dissolved. This was an experiment conducted by a Nexus magazine reader recently. No wonder salt is said to harden your arteries - refined salt.
Posted by: Sue on January 7, 2005 03:13 AM
thanks natasha. I have one more question. Are you supposed to leave it out on the counter or in a closet or cabinet. Avoid sunlight?

Is this cabbage better for one then kombucha or kefir?
Also; I can do a search for more information on fermented cabbage, but in researching info on Kombucha and Kefir I found out that some sites were definately more reliable then others - can you recommend any?

All lactic acid type drinks are good as they are natural detoxers and are very good for digestion to boot. The most reliable site on these is:

Chris,
I write from India. How does plain home-made curds (yoghurt) compare with fermented cabbage juice?
Posted by: SP on February 17, 2006 07:29 AM
SP,
Relatively good, I suspect, if you make your own as most commercial curds (yogurt) is pasteurized after fermentation and is next to useless! But incorporating cultured cabbage will give you diversity of bacteria so it is not a matter of substitution.

Posted by: Kiran on March 15, 2006 06:49 PM
The flavor is improved by mixing the cabbage juice with apple juice in a ratio of 1:1.
I have used my juicer to make this too but added water and the pulp back into the cabbage juice to ferment.
I am wondering if the lacto - bacterias get all the way to the large intestine or does this mostly address the stomach and small intestine?

This post inspired me to try fermenting cabbage juice on my own for the treatment of Crohn's. I've had Crohn's disease since I was 12 and I've been able to control it OK through diet. Cabbage Juice has helped me get a lot better, even to the point I've been able to eat fast food some. Recently stress has set me back some, but cabbage juice has helped get me back in shape quicker then normal.

I noticed after eating junk food/ deep fried for 20 something years and I am 26. I noticed I get sharp pain in the chest as if (Someone was stabbing me right in the heart) some would say they can compare it to a heart attack. Could Cabbage juice help relieve this problem? By the way I stopped eating bad food and changed my lifestyle eating habits around to prevent anymore of this matter. Email me please Thanks

Hi
Im from India, Im suffering from UC for last 5 years with on and offs, and recently started cabbage juice for some 5 days it helped but the gas effect was very bad, and had to discontinue, please advice as to how can i use this juice effectively with out getting this gas effect which also generates a foul smell, and keep me disturbed for the whole day

Reduce the amount you take to a few table spoons or less then slowly build up. As soon as you get too much gas back off for a few days before increasing.
