THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CABBAGE POULTICES – TESTIMONIALS (TREATMENT)
At this point the doctors had given up all hope of curing her. The wound would not heal and constantly exuded pus. After nine weeks the patient asked to return home from the hospital and her family and relatives continued treating her with much care and devotion. Every ten minutes the dressing on the wound had to be changed and a special ointment applied. But despite all this kind attention the pain could not be relieved.
An acquaintance of hers who had read of cabbage poultices in my monthly magazine Health News (Gesundheits-Nachrichten) recommended this treatment and – lo and behold – within four days of trying it, the pus was discharging freely and the terrible pain receded. In spite of suffering from chronic constipation and headaches resulting from it, the patient felt much better and was delighted to be on the mend after a year and a half of illness. It is hard to believe that cabbage can achieve such success, but if this patient had not taken advantage of the treatment her condition would probably have greatly deteriorated instead of improving as it did.
