Cabbage juice occupies a specific and important therapeutic role in the Primal Diet. It is not a general-purpose green juice in the way that celery or parsley are, it is primarily a medicinal juice prescribed for targeted conditions, most prominently internal bleeding, ulcerations, hemorrhage, hemorrhoids, vitamin K and vitamin U deficiencies, varicose veins, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and certain sexual and lymphatic conditions. It is not a juice that Aajonus prescribed broadly to all people as a daily staple, but rather one that appears repeatedly in individualized protocols at specific quantities and frequencies, always in response to observable signs of internal tissue damage, bleeding, or particular nutrient deficiencies.

Aajonus distinguished between the appropriate variety of cabbage for juicing, the green or white cabbage (which he clarified are the same thing, just called by different names by different people), and the red cabbage, which he did not recommend for these purposes. He also distinguished fresh raw cabbage juice from fermented cabbage products such as sauerkraut, which he explicitly rejected as a substitute, noting that fermentation destroys the key vitamins K and U that make cabbage juice therapeutically effective.

Cabbage juice is described as a significant source of bioflavonoids and of vitamins K and U, two nutrients that are particularly difficult to obtain from supplements in processed form. Aajonus noted that supplemental vitamins K and U are rarely effective because of the processing they undergo, and that the ingestion of raw green cabbage juice has proven to be effective where supplements have failed.

Aajonus identified cabbage juice as a primary dietary source of vitamins K and U. He connected deficiency in these two vitamins directly to conditions such as varicose veins, internal bleeding, ulcerations, and hemorrhage. He stated explicitly that vitamin K and U supplementation in isolated, processed form is rarely effective because of how those supplements are manufactured and the processing they undergo. Raw green cabbage juice delivers these vitamins in their bioavailable, unprocessed state.

When addressing varicose veins, he said: "There's some almost body-type reactions going on in the body with the varicose veins. And it's a severe vitamin K and U deficiency. And the cabbage will help bring it back."

Aajonus identified white/green cabbage as containing "lots of bioflavonoids." He linked bioflavonoids to the stabilization of vascular integrity, specifically to preventing the continued development of varicose vein conditions. He said the citrus tissue in a juice can also stabilize the system, but noted that cabbage juice can serve the same function as a 5% inclusion in a vegetable juice blend for people dealing with varicose veins.

Cabbage juice, especially white cabbage juice combined with unheated honey, is described as capable of stopping hemorrhage and promoting blood clotting. Aajonus stated that white cabbage alone "will stop hemorrhage even without unheated honey," but that unheated honey speeds general healing and therefore the combination is preferred. This hemostatic property is applied to multiple scenarios: internal hemorrhage, hemorrhoids with active bleeding, hemophilia, uterine bleeding during menstruation, and bloody noses.

He wrote: "To promote and speed clotting: drink 1 cup of raw white cabbage juice blended with 7 tablespoons unheated honey. Consuming white cabbage will stop hemorrhage even without unheated honey, however, unheated honey speeds general healing."

Cabbage juice is described as effective for healing and strengthening mucous membranes. Aajonus referenced its use in the context of Crohn's disease, noting that specific vitamin deficiencies, particularly K and U, accompanied by caustic bilious byproducts destroy the intestines' natural bacterial environment. Raw green cabbage juice was cited as having proven effective for intestinal bleeding in this context where supplements have not.

He also connected cabbage juice to ulceration healing more broadly: "Cabbage is for internal bleeding and ulcerations."

In one source he noted that drinking cabbage juice for four weeks along with alkalizing foods daily "heals and strengthens mucous membranes."

When asked directly about colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, Aajonus gave a one-word answer: "Cabbage juice." When iceberg lettuce juice was suggested as an alternative or addition, he indicated that combining iceberg lettuce juice with cabbage juice could be done.

Aajonus noted an unusual and specific effect of combining cabbage juice with cheese: "The cabbage with the cheese stimulates sexuality." He noted this works for both men and women and described it as a particularly potent combination for that purpose, saying "it gets the people most unlikely, that particular combination."

In the context of discussing lymphatic congestion and bile distribution in the body, cabbage juice appears as part of individualized formulas. Aajonus connected excess bile stored in the body to irritability, skin issues, and metabolic dysfunction, and in some cases suggested carrot juice (with coconut cream and dairy cream) as the primary tool for bile removal, but in the same consultations, cabbage juice appeared in the vegetable juice blend for healing internal sores and ulcerations simultaneously.

This is an absolute requirement. Aajonus was explicit that the healing properties of cabbage juice depend entirely on it being fresh and raw. He rejected sauerkraut as a substitute: "I don't want you to eat sauerkraut. That's fermented. It destroys the KNU. It helps blood clotting and gets rid of ulcers. You need to eat fresh cabbage juice." (The "KNU" reference is to vitamins K and U specifically.)

He also stated categorically that dry herbs and vegetables, including dried cabbage, are no longer foods in his framework. Drying destroys the enzymes and living qualities that make raw vegetables therapeutic.

Aajonus was very clear about varietal choice: - Green cabbage and white cabbage are the same thing, just called different names by different people. He accepted both terms as referring to the same vegetable. - Red cabbage is NOT recommended for these purposes. He consistently specified "not the red cabbage." - Chinese cabbage and Napa cabbage (more elongated, like a lettuce) are different varieties. Aajonus stated he had never experimented with them and therefore did not recommend them for the therapeutic protocols he outlined.

He acknowledged confusion around terminology: "What does everybody call it? What do you call it? White or green cabbage? Green. The one other than the red. Yes, exactly. There's only other ones. People say white. You mean the green? And then if I say the green, you mean the white?" He clarified that whether you call it white or green, it refers to the same standard round-headed cabbage that is not red.

Aajonus discussed multiple methods for extracting cabbage juice:

Champion juicer: Named as an acceptable option. He indicated it works for cabbage.

Green Life juicer: Named as another acceptable option.

Omega juicer: He indicated this works for cabbage but "doesn't squeeze it out very well." His workaround: "Once, you know, just open your Omega up and press it against the side and that'll squeeze out even more. Or put it in a cloth and wring it."

Green Star juicer: He mentioned this as an easier option in general, "It takes so little. I mean, you have to slice everything and put it through because it has to be smaller than the champion, but it juices easier."

Blending and straining: He addressed this method directly. If blending rather than juicing: "you need to strain it" and "you have to put some kind of cloth that takes the pulp out. And you wring out the juice." He stated he wanted the pulp removed from the juice. He did not want the pulp consumed as part of the cabbage juice protocol.

He clarified when asked whether blending is better: "No." The preferred method is a proper juicer.

Old method: "Put it in a cloth and wring it. That's what I did, you know, in the old days."

In one consultation, Aajonus mentioned storing cabbage juice in jelly jars of approximately five ounces, capping them, and adding a little unheated honey to preserve the juice and prevent oxidation. He said: "When you juice it, cap it, put it in, it's really five ounces that fit in it, so you can put a little unheated honey in it if you want, and that way it will preserve and it won't oxidize."

In one consultation, Aajonus specified: "Have about two teaspoons of cream with each eight ounces of cabbage juice, green cabbage juice. And have that cabbage juice alone, not with the other juices." This pairing of cream with cabbage juice appears as a specific protocol instruction, not just a general recommendation to have fat nearby.

For hemorrhage specifically, the mandatory pairing is 7 tablespoons of unheated honey per 1 cup of white cabbage juice. Aajonus stated white cabbage will stop hemorrhage without the honey, but the honey speeds general healing and is therefore the preferred formulation.

In the context of sexual stimulation and enjoyment, Aajonus noted the combination of cabbage juice with cheese produces a specific sexual stimulation effect. He did not describe cheese as biochemically mandatory with cabbage juice the way he did with cream, but the pairing appears as a notable and documented combination with specific physiological effects.

For the hemorrhage protocol, Aajonus described an optional addition: "Mixing 3 ounces of fresh raw carrot juice and 5 teaspoons lime juice to the cabbage juice and honey mixture improves taste for some people as well as speeds healing. Lime juice is the key to preventing excessive infection."

No topical applications for cabbage juice specifically were documented in the source passages. All uses described are internal/ingestible.

Aajonus provided highly individualized dosing, which varied significantly depending on the severity of the condition and the person's overall state. The following covers all documented dosage guidance:

• 5% of regular daily juice blend: Mild maintenance dose for bioflavonoids, varicose vein support
• Up to 10% of regular daily juice blend: For more active support
• Half a cup (4 oz) per week: Minimum therapeutic dose mentioned in one consultation ("only half a cup a week")
• Two cups per week (one cup per session, minimum three days apart): Specific protocol for one patient, "have green cabbage juice, about two cups a week. So you have a cup one morning, a cup another morning, and make sure it's three days between them, minimum. It could be longer."

• 8 ounces per day: For leaking gut with peritonitis risk
• Split dose recommended in some protocols (morning and evening)

• Non-bleeding days: 4 ounces total (2 oz morning, 2 oz evening) within approximately 1 quart total daily juice
• Bleeding days: 8 ounces total (4 oz morning, 4 oz evening) within approximately 1 quart total daily juice

• 1 cup (8 oz) immediately: For acute hemorrhage or active bleed
• Combined with 7 tablespoons honey

• 4 ounces every three days: For patient with mild hemorrhaging throughout the body and spine

• 1 full cup substituted for regular juice, once per week: Replacing one cup of the daily quart with a full cup of pure cabbage juice on one day per week
• "Sip it over a 20-minute period", not gulped, taken alone, not mixed with other juices on that occasion

Multiple times, Aajonus instructed patients to sip cabbage juice slowly rather than drink it quickly, specifically to prevent gas. "Have it all at one time, but sip it over a 20-minute period."

• 4 weeks: For mucous membrane healing
• 7 weeks of a particular juice formula before adjusting: Referenced in one protocol
• Three weeks of one formula followed by adjustments: Another protocol
• Long-term (months): In some chronic conditions, cabbage juice as a percentage ingredient continues until the internal bleeding or deficiency signs resolve

The simplest form, raw green/white cabbage juiced and consumed directly. Aajonus preferred this taken separately from the regular vegetable juice blend when used therapeutically as a standalone.

• 1 cup raw white cabbage juice
• 7 tablespoons unheated honey
• Blended together

• 1 cup raw white cabbage juice
• 7 tablespoons unheated honey
• 3 ounces fresh raw carrot juice
• 5 teaspoons lime juice

• 8 ounces green cabbage juice
• 2 teaspoons of cream (dairy cream)
• Taken first thing in the morning, alone, not combined with other juices

Multiple blend formulations were documented in which cabbage juice constitutes a percentage of the total:

Example 1: - 60% celery, 20% carrot, 20% green cabbage

Example 2: - 60% celery, 10% carrot, 20% green cabbage, 10% acorn/butternut squash

Example 3: - 70% celery, 5% cilantro, 15% parsley, remainder cucumber, with two cups of green cabbage juice per week consumed separately on their own

Example 4: - 80% celery, 15% parsley, 5% green cabbage (for vitamin K/U deficiency, varicose veins)

Example 5 (for patient with internal sores): - Reduce summer squash from 30% to 25%, add 5% cabbage - Rest of formula: 60% celery, 20% parsley (or similar)

Example 6: - 20% carrot, 20% celery, 5% cilantro, 5% parsley, 5% zucchini puree, 5% zucchini juice, remainder cucumber puree, plus half a cup of green cabbage juice (consumed separately, not blended into the formula)

• Green cabbage juice
• Cheese alongside or before
• Described as escalating sexual desire, "if you have kids, you're not going to be able to entertain yourself that much"

Aajonus documented sauerkraut as a fermented derivative of cabbage, and he explicitly rejected it as a substitute for fresh cabbage juice. He stated: "I don't want you to eat sauerkraut. That's fermented. It destroys the KNU." When a patient told him they had made a whole batch of sauerkraut and were "all into it," he told them "no more sauerkraut" and directed them to use only fresh cabbage juice.

This is significant because sauerkraut is often promoted in natural health contexts for its probiotic properties. Aajonus acknowledged that fermented vegetable products can serve some detoxification functions, but stated these should be consumed "once in a while" and "be discreet about it", and he specifically called out sauerkraut as destroying the vitamins K and U that make raw cabbage juice therapeutically effective.
