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 on November 3, 2003, 8:32 pm
by Chris Gupta

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.

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

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!!

How can you distinguish between cabbage juice that is propely fermented and cabbage juice that is off?
are there temperature considerations,

What kind of cabbage juice do I drink for my infection (vagina and/or ulcer)? Do I drink red,green,etc.?

where can i buy cabbage juice (in a store not online)?

 

Posted on March 18, 2004, 5:14 pm
by Chris Gupta

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 on April 29, 2004, 7:15 pm
by Chris Gupta

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...

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 on June 2, 2004, 4:47 pm
by Chris Gupta

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.

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 on December 14, 2004, 7:05 pm
by Chris Gupta

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 on December 16, 2004, 4:51 pm
by Alexandra

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 on December 16, 2004, 10:44 pm
by Chris Gupta

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.

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?

On the cabbage point, also a good addictive to take for the gut is yogurt, to make it yorself
buy a small Natural Yogurt, boil any milk,2 ltrs, cool, then mix with small Yogurt , leave in warm room for over night, and Wala, 2 Ltrs of fresh yougurt.skim milk is ok

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?

 

Posted on April 14, 2005, 4:15 am

Shan,

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 on February 17, 2006, 11:15 am
by Chris Gupta

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.

I have a peptic ulcer, I heard cabbage juice is good for this- I do not have a juicer but have a blender, how do you make the juice? I tried to make it and it looked like puree, I drank it, anyway.

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?

With the comment below are you saying that eating raw cabbage provides essentially the same benefit as cultured cabbage? If so, then why culture it?

Thanks,

Hi Chris

Would it be ok to have CULTURED CABBAGE JUICE

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.

You can read more about my experience using cabbage juice to treat Crohn's here:

Do I need to ferment the batch in a glass bowl? What I have are glass jars with lids. I have seen it done both ways what is the difference between one with lid one with out? Does anyone have any non cook recipes for the remaining cabbage pulp? Has anyone tried it with a little garlic and olive oil, ect...?

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

The pain you had was due to gases. Yes gases....they can mimick a heart attack! And yes the cabbage juice will help you a lot.

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
Response:

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.

Chris
