A Look @ the Multidimensional Value of Cabbage

Cabbage is a vegetable that helps your digestion, increases your antibodies. Cabbage can speed up the curing of ulcer. Cabbage reduces the risk of eye cataract, colon, stomach and lung cancer, and also reduces the risk of heart problems.

-You can eat cabbage raw, in a salad, or cooked in different styles. Cabbage gives you lots of vitamin C, and also vitamin E, A, B, minerals and fibers.

-Cabbage is really good for people suffering from anemia. If you cook it, of course, cabbage will lose some of its nutritional value, losing a good part of its vitamins. If you eat it raw, you will get lots of vitamins C and E.

-Just half a pound of cabbage will give you all the necessary daily needs of vitamins E and A. Because cabbage contains magnesium, calcium, iron and sulfur, you might get bloated and pass wind after eating cabbage.

-The antioxidant and nutritional value of this vegetable cannot be overlooked. Cabbage is recommended for eating at least twice every week. But you don’t have to go overboard and eat cabbage daily. Eating too much of it will actually prevent your body from assimilating iodine which is a bad thing.

-Cabbage is a great source of folic acid. Folic acid is especially good and recommended to pregnant women who want to give birth to a healthy beautiful baby.

-pickled cabbage is almost a miracle. It contains lots of beneficial micro-organisms beneficial for maintaining a healthy intestinal flora. It also seems that pickled cabbage has a Viagra effect for men. Who knew cabbage could be a bed rocker. The Nations newspaper quoted the Austrian Times, Dr. Lejla Kazinic Kreho as saying that: "The knowledge collected at King’s College shows pickled cabbage is the best natural Viagra. It may be hard to believe that sourkraut is one of most powerful aphrodisiacs, but the British data is conclusive."

-Raw cabbage can help you get rid of constipation because the dietary fibers it contains help clean out your stomach, intestines and basically your whole digestive system.

-For a medium-sized cabbage, you can serve it four times. At each 100 grammes of cabbage you eat, your body gets 25 calories, 50mg of vitamin C, 385mg of beta carotene, 75mg of folic acid, 52mg of calcium and 270mg of potassium

-Red cabbage had been proven to have even a bigger nutritional value than the regular cabbage. Red cabbage has more antioxidants and a big quantity of vitamin C (5 times more vitamin C than green cabbage). The components of red cabbage reduce the risk of breast cancer because of their effect on estrogen.

You Can Prevent Cancer Attack

You don't have to go through what I have gone through. You can prevent it now by avoiding what cancer feeds on:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet , Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

f. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

g. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

h. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

i. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

j. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

The Other Variables For Treating Cancer Case

In my previous write-up, I took time to stress on how taking of fruit and vegetables boost ones immunity which in turn help to fight all kinds of diseases including terminal ones like cancer. I is important at this point to emphasise on the other variables that goes with this dieting.
Praying Through the Battles of Life
Proverb 21:31 tells us that the horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD. This passage can be inferred to mean that dwelling on the fruit and vegetable therapy without getting God involved may not yield positive result. Naturally, I love praying.
When the doctor told me I had fibroid, I immediately went into prayers and fasting. My family and friends across the world fasted and prayed for me. I attended Christia programmes and was quick to solicit for prayers which the benevolently did. I visited healing and deliverance ministers to be prayed for. Unfortunately, as the more I asked God for His miracle touch, the worst my situation grew. It can be very pleasant if one pray and get result to his prayers speedily. I was already used to getting such speedy result in time past but this time around, my health situation seemingly defied prayers. I however persisted in prayers.
Close minister friends who knew kept calling to encourage me. Day and night, I wept before the Lord in prayers. I consistently felt His presence each time I prayed but wondered why my condition was getting worse. I asked myself several questions. It was very devastating. I recalled how profusely I was loosing blood.
I watched the programme of Benny Hinn and other men of God on television and saw how people were testifying of their healing. I kept telling myself: “I shall receive my healing and also testify one day.” The story of the woman in Matt. 15:26 were always in my mind. I reflected on how she persisted. She held to Jesus to heal her daughter even when Jesus referred to her as a DOG. She knew what she wanted so she did not take offence. Her story was a great encouragement. If the woman was regarded as dog and yet was a beneficiary of God’s healing power, I knew that the daughter/father relationship I had with God was superior and no matter how long my miracle tarry, I was going to be made whole.
I did not only pray but continued to make positive confession. I said it to myself hat God who has done it for her will also do it for me. I was so sure that one day I will wake up one day to discover that the fibroid had disappeared. While I was still trusting God for healing for the fibroid, the Doctors discovered a lump on my breast and removed it. It was like the situation was deteriorating. The lump was taken to laboratory and tested. The result was cancer. The lump surfaced again and this time, major surgery requiring the removal of the breast was recommended.
In the face of all these, I have no other option but to hold Him very firmly. I was persuaded that He is Jehovah Rapha – The Great Healer. He is the Balm in Gilead. I encouraged myself with more passages from the Scripture. I am aware that when Jesus was invited to attend to Lazarus by Mary and Martha, He never showed up until Lazarus died. I refused to give up. You may be going through the same experience like I did now, please don’t give up. Keep holding unto Him. Lazarus was brought back to life after he had gotten rotten in the grave. Your case is not beyond God’s healing power. If He did it for me, He will do it for you.
In January 2007, Bishop Omiunu called from Benin that the Lord said he should tell me that He has given them my flesh but not my soul and that I should go for the operation. Before this message I had dreamt that I was operated.
After the removal of my breast the doctor came out with further complicating report. The cancer cell had spread to the second breast and in the arm pit. He advised I go for the chemotherapy but I refused and continued to seek God. If you seek the Lord you will definitely find Him. He is faithful. We held prayer vigil in the house every single night. I went into two months of vegetable fasting and praying. The result was tremendous.
The place of prayer cannot be overemphasised. Let us not be weary of God. It will come in His time. He is compassionate God that is moved by our tears. Even if we are to take drugs, God must be involved in the drugs, but I have come to discover that not all sickness require drugs. We need to seek the face of God to know what to do at every point. He feels proud when we trust in Him knowing that He is able. Glory be to God, today I am completely whole. The entire cancer cell in my body had completely disappeared. This can only be God!
