Cabbage juice is very crispy, probably the highest lime vegetable. I can only imagine that the blood uses the lime and creates a fast "scar" and for those with a hole through their stomach and bleeding to death, cabbage juice has cured them.....very risky; but one local older fellow woke up one morning and was white and passing blood and was rushed to a state hospital where they said he had a stomach hole the size of a 50 cent piece..his wife called an herbalist, took the suggestion of cabbage and removed him from the hospital untreated and purchased cabbage on the way home...they also own a large vegetable farm market.
