Cabbage is rich in glutamine, a compound that helps stimulate the production of protective
mucus in your stomach. "Raw cabbage juice is well-documented as having remarkable success
in treating ulcers," says Alan Gaby, M.D. In one study, people with ulcers who drank about 1
quart of cabbage juice a day saw their ulcers heal in an average of 10 days.
Unfortunately, cabbage juice tastes pretty bitter. But you can treat yourself to some cabbage
soup, using this recipe from James A. Duke, Ph.D.

1 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped okra
1/2 cup diced onions

How To Prepare:

tender. Season to taste with the red pepper, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves.
