THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES WHICH FOUND RAW CABBAGE JUICE TO BE USEFUL IN TREATING ULCERS The high glutamine and S-methylmethionine content of cabbage may be responsible. Garnett Cheney, M.D. had 100 peptic ulcer patients drink four glasses of raw cabbage juice daily. The patients reported dramatically less pain, and X-ray examination confirmed faster healing time. There was no other change in their diet, and they did not have drug therapy. Of the patients, 81% were symptom free within one week; over two-thirds were better in just four days. The average healing time for patients given standard hospital treatment was over a month. Dr. Cheney, used cabbage juice to also treat gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. He named the healing constituent the anti-ulcer factor. He named this vitamin U, for ulcer. He also found this factor in plants. It is an amino acid, methylmethioninesulfonium bromide. Removing two methyl groups has a major effect on cell metabolism. It has a special protective action on the gastric mucosa, counteracting the digestive action of gastric acids. FIGHTING CANCER FROM THE CABBAGE PATCH Cabbage belongs to the Brassica family. A host of recent studies has shown that brassicas - which include broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and mustard - possess cancer fighting compounds. Midwestern scientists have found evidence that something in pickled cabbage and related foods blocks the action of estrogen, a hormone that can fuel the growth of breast cancer and other reproductive tract malignancies. The findings by nutritionist William G. Helferich's team suggest these foods might offer even more potentially important agents and point toward a new class of drugs to reduce cancer risk, observes Barnett Zumoff, chief of endocrinology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.
