« on: December 03, 2011, 10:08:00 am »I don't eat veggies anyways, but I do eat a lot of fruit, and right now I'm a bit low on my raw foods, and fruit's pretty much the only thing I got right now.
I almost never ate leafy greens, but did consume green juices, and began having a grinding and sometimes pulsing pain in my gut that would come on intermittently after eating. They also made my guts feel tight so that at night I couldn't comfortably lay on my side. The doctor said it was likely gastritis and prescribed antacids, which he said he had been taking for years, but I knew I wasn't doing that.
I mentioned to the doctor that the only thing that seemed to soothe it was when I ate salad, which gave me an idea. I started eating a big bowlful of cabbage or kale every day, and it was soothed immediately and went away completely in a few weeks. I still eat that bowlful almost every day now. Cabbage/kale in particular has anti-ulcer properties.
It also soothed some pulsing pains in various parts of my body that I hadn't mentioned to the doctor which I attributed to cancer but haven't paid for diagnosis yet. That was a year and half ago and symptoms are still all subsided, unnoticeable most of the time.
