The first time I used cabbage on a toothache, it hit me like the
kick of a mule. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen, and then put a piece of cabbage
about 2 inches wide on the nearest cheek, binding it with a 2” Ace bandage,
chin to crown. The pain immediately began to lessen, and in the morning, it was
gone. I used cabbage on and off for several days whenever it got sore, until I
saw a dentist who said that I needed a root canal and wanted to give me
antibiotics for a week first to reduce the infection. I told him that I had my
own antibiotics; I would keep cabbage on the cheek and garlic oil in the
nearest ear (more on garlic oil later); and I would see him in a week.
The cabbage poultice would stay on my head only when I was awake.
(Years later, I figured out how to keep one on when sleeping, by putting a stocking
cap over it.) Within the week the infection was practically gone, and cabbage
had kept me pain-free for 11 days. I used ibuprofen on that first mule-kick
only.
This has been repeated by me and others. A toothache can be
stopped and killed, but the damaged tooth will keep getting infected until it
is drilled and filled or pulled. Toothache occurs when the rot in a cavity has
reached a nerve; it usually requires a root canal or pulling.
The only time I used cabbage to reduce a tumor was when my late
husband was undergoing whole-brain radiation after having an egg-sized melanoma
tumor removed from his head. There was another egg-sized tumor in his thigh
that the doctors could feel, but they decided to leave that one for
chemotherapy, to begin the following month. The leg hurt; I put cabbage on it
and kept doing so whenever it hurt. (He ate slippery elm in applesauce to keep
the radiation from harming his gut.) By
the end of that month, when he went to see the chemo specialist, the tumor in
his thigh could not be found.
He began chemotherapy, which was worse on his system than most
people; where most get diarrhea, he got constipated. Neither cabbage nor
slippery elm would relieve the pain nor move his bowels; it took mineral oil.
His belly filled with tumors, most likely caused by the chemo, which
cabbage could not touch. He died within 6 months of starting chemo, after 3
treatments in three months.
If I ever get cancer, I'll eat a lot of coleslaw and put cabbage poultice on anything that hurts (See Rycke's Remedies: If it hurts, put cabbage on it). And I'll eat a lot of almond flour. See World Without Cancer, the movie or the book, about vitamin B17.
