Broccoli and ordinary head cabbage are related. It has been long known in Europe among physicians, and among American naturopathic healers that raw cabbage juice will heal ulcers. I have myself healed the ulcers of several people, one of whom was a doctor's wife.
The protocol is to take a hand-full of raw cabbage, and put it into an ordinary kitchen blender. Blend very briefly, and strain the juice from the pump. Drink the raw juice on an empty stomach. Do this two or three times daily. Within a couple days the ulcer will feel better. Within a week, or two at most, the ulcer will be gone! There are other natural ways to ameliorate ulcers (such as propolis capsules), but only the raw cabbage juice provides a cheap and easy cure.

Certainly powerful new findings. In addition, information obtained from Zpryme Research points to a subsequent study conducted by both the Japan Institute for the Control of Aging and The Tokyo University of Agriculture uncovered that those who consumed at least 3 1/2 ounces of broccoli sprouts on a daily basis for just one week noticeably reduced their cholesterol level and improved their HDL levels. Moreover, individuals that included broccoli sprouts in their diet also decreased the amount of oxidative stress; for example oxidative stress plays a role in the cause of wrinkles and sagging skin.
