Cabbage As Medicine
You can make a natural drink to help heal stomach ulcers, and soothe irritable bowel symptoms and other digestive issues by juicing raw cabbage. The vitamin and amino acid rich properties contained in raw cabbage juice keep the lining of the digestive tract healthy and can help to heal irritated and / or ulcerated mucosa.
Simply juice a wedge of fresh raw cabbage until you have about 4 ounces of pure cabbage juice.
You can juice the cabbage in a vegetable juicer or you can hand grate it (finely) and squeeze the juice through a cheesecloth. You will be amazed at how sweet and delicious cabbage juice is!
Drink daily, just until symptoms subside, then discontinue the raw juice unless symptoms return.
But please continue to habitually include the full cabbage (not just the juice), in your diet and favorite recipes for continued therapeutic benefits.
And please always seek medical advice at your own discretion in addition, especially if digestive issues persist.

ABOUT THIS WEEKS MENU:
We wrote the article below in 2011.
It is about cabbage, a seriously underrated and under appreciated vegetable that, at the time, we felt deserved some recognition and accolades.
Our feelings about cabbage have not changed, and neither has the article.
We have repeated it for you below, in its entirety, and we sincerely hope that you will enjoy the cabbage dishes (and all of the other yummy dishes as well) that appear on this week's menu, and in doing so, reap all of the benefits contained within.

WEEKLY ARTICLE: The Humble Cabbage
There are so many great dishes on this week's menu. Where to begin, where to begin.
Hmm. Instead of singling out select dishes, I think we'll focus on one of the nutritional super stars appearing on this week's menu: The Humble Cabbage.
Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that provides integrated nourishment across a wide variety of nutritional categories, thus supporting a wide variety of organ systems and bodily functions.
In the oriental medicine school of thought (that to which Wholly Macro primarily subscribes), cabbage is especially beneficial to the stomach, spleen, and pancreas, relaxing the overly tight middle section of our bodies as it supports and nourishes those specific organs. But cabbage provides numerous other health benefits as well, such as:
|
- Anti - Inflammatory Properties
- Antioxidant Properties
- Detoxifying properties
- Anti - Cancer Properties
- Cardiovascular Support
- Digestive Support
- Blood Sugar Stabilization Support
Cabbage is an excellent source of immune system supporting vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory vitamin K. It is very high in natural fiber, which enables it to greatly support digestive health. It is naturally high in enzyme activating manganese, and contains vitamin B6, folate, and the all important omega 3 fatty acids, all of which support heart health. It contains a high concentration of carotenoid phytonutrients, aka vitamin A, which are well known for their free radical scavenging antioxidant effects. And if that isn't enough, it is also high in bone health promoting calcium and magnesium, and muscle system supporting potassium.
Cutting, chewing, and digesting cabbage activates the unique sulfur containing phytonutrients contained within it.
|
These sulfur compounds help activate and stabilize the body's detoxification mechanisms and increase the liver's ability to produce enzymes that neutralize potentially toxic substances.
From a health standpoint, (and what other standpoint is there?), you should enjoy a two cup serving of cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables at least 4-5 times per week. Some of cabbages cruciferous relatives include: broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, mustard greens, bok choy, and collard greens.
  
Use and enjoy all of the varieties of cabbage with their myriad of colors, textures, and flavors. We do, as evidenced in the November 20, 2013 Wholly Macro Delivery Menu below.
Don't forget to chew well to aid in releasing and digesting the nutrients in your food.
And never ever underestimate the hidden power of food in general, and that of the humble cabbage in particular.

May health, happiness, and prosperity be your unavoidable natural state and your ongoing daily experience.

**Wholly Macro makes every attempt to maintain a totally vegan and allergen free kitchen cooking environment. We make every effort to avoid any type of cross contamination during food preparation. Most foods used in the Wholly Macro kitchen are not packaged, but instead are bought in the produce section or in bulk. But as you know, cross contamination is always a possibility, especially with bulk items. And in the few packaged foods that we do use, such as nut butters for example, it is common to find warnings on the manufacturer label stating that the item was processed in a plant that handles tree nuts, soy, wheat, dairy, gluten, shellfish, and so on.
Wholly Macro cannot be responsible for trace amounts of common food allergens that come from outside (packaged or bulk items), and therefore end up occurring within our prepared foods. Please use your own discretion in determining if our food is appropriate for your consumption, especially if you have severe food allergies.
We are always available to clarify any of the ingredients that we use, and assist you in your weekly selections, but we cannot keep track of your food allergies, sensitivities, likes, dislikes or preferences.

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor |
