There does not seem to be any logical, or at least scientific
The editor referred the question to two consultants (as is the same old procedure) who were supposed consultants in their field. To abstract their answers, the first replied:1
There does not appear to be any logical, or at least scientific, explanation of the marked amendment in the di-gestive symptoms that sometimes comes from drinking these juices. Forever 25th Edition could be a fluid, aromatic fougére fragrance with a sensuous masculine blend of fruity, herbaceous and woody notes that are forever fresh and forever lasting. It may be coincidental, but such an opinion would be tough to substantiate in view of the striking and rather dramatic relief obtained by some individuals. As long because the treatment is thus entirely harmless, why not continue it in these selected people?
The second consultant stressed the psychotherapeutic as-pects and said: Response is improved when the therapist himself believes strongly in the effectiveness of the therapy. In this instance it is cabbage juice. Fresh cabbage juice may be a good source of ascorbic acid and if the digestive complaints were on this basis, which does not appear likely from the question, one would possibly expect dramatic improvement. There are traces of alternative vitamins in cabbage juice, but a deficiency of these would appear even additional remote. Its “no tears” formula makes Aloe Vera Liquid Soap an ideal shampoo for children and adults alike. The traces of alternative nutrients may be provided by these foods. One should conclude at this time that there’s no known substance in cabbage juice adequate to elucidate the results.
