Cabbage, specifically green cabbage (also called white cabbage, being one and the same variety, not the red), occupies a highly specialized, therapeutic role in the Primal Diet. It is not a general food consumed for broad nutritional benefit; rather, it is a targeted medicinal juice used for specific conditions involving internal bleeding, ulceration, hemorrhage, vascular damage, varicose vein conditions, and vitamin K and U deficiencies.

Aajonus was explicit that when he said "white cabbage" and when he said "green cabbage," he was referring to the same variety, the common, round-headed cabbage that is neither red nor purple. The naming confusion arose frequently in consultation settings, and he addressed it directly on multiple occasions. When someone asked "is that green or white?" his answer was that they are identical, what some people call white, others call green, and they are the only two names for the same plant.

He also acknowledged the existence of Chinese cabbage and Napa cabbage as distinct varieties, more elongated like lettuce, and noted he had not experimented with those varieties to the same degree and could not give the same guidance for them.

Red cabbage was addressed specifically as a separate entity with distinct properties and, in most therapeutic contexts, was not recommended or was actively avoided in favor of the green/white variety.

Cabbage juice is listed explicitly under "green cabbage for intestinal bleeding" as a specific therapeutic application. It also appears as the primary intervention for hemorrhage and blood coagulation.

Aajonus consistently identified cabbage, the green/white variety, as a critical source of two specific vitamins that are essential to vascular integrity, blood clotting, and the healing of mucous membranes:

• Vitamin K, essential for blood coagulation and the repair of damaged blood vessels, capillaries, and veins
• Vitamin U, essential for mucous membrane integrity, healing of internal ulceration, and preventing hemorrhage from continuing

He stated directly in multiple consultations that varicose vein conditions, spider veins, and internal hemorrhaging were the result of severe deficiencies in both vitamin K and vitamin U, and that cabbage was the primary dietary source to address this:

Aajonus specifically cited the high bioflavonoid content of white/green cabbage as another mechanism by which it addresses vascular degeneration:

Bioflavonoids were his primary explanation for why both cabbage and citrus were effective in reversing or stabilizing varicose vein-type conditions. The bioflavonoids, he indicated, work with the citrus oils and mineral content of vegetable juices to begin dissolving or stabilizing old vascular damage.

Cabbage juice was given a primary role in stopping profuse bleeding. he stated:

This makes cabbage juice the foundational hemorrhage-stopping agent in his system, with honey acting as an accelerant to general healing. The cabbage alone carries the coagulation effect.

Beyond major hemorrhage, Aajonus repeatedly prescribed cabbage juice for lower-level, ongoing internal bleeding and ulceration, conditions he identified in many of his iridology consultations. The mechanism he described was direct: the vitamin K and U provide the biochemical building blocks for the body to stop internal leakage and seal ulcerative damage throughout the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessel system.

From one consultation about intestinal problems that were "still leaking, still bleeding":

He also stated in another source:

One source referenced cabbage juice consumed for four weeks alongside alkalizing foods as a protocol to "heal and strengthen mucous membranes." This indicates cabbage juice's role extends to the mucosal lining of the digestive tract, not only the vascular system.

Aajonus made a distinction between the intestinal effect of green/white cabbage versus red cabbage, explaining that green was selected specifically because it soothes rather than excites the intestinal system:

Aajonus explicitly warned that whole or improperly consumed cabbage creates problems:

This was stated in the context of someone who thought they had received a recipe from him involving cabbage in a food preparation. He denied it and clarified that cabbage used incorrectly, meaning in solid form in the wrong context, would cause gas and ill reactions. This underscores that cabbage in his system is primarily a juice medicine, not a general food to eat as solid vegetable matter.

Cabbage in Aajonus's system is consumed almost exclusively as raw juice, not as a solid food, and not fermented. The juice is expressed fresh and consumed immediately or stored in sealed jars for brief periods.

He specified that the pulp is not desired when using cabbage for therapeutic purposes:

The preferred method was a Champion juicer or equivalent masticating juicer. If a blender is used, the result must be strained through cloth and wrung out to remove all pulp, leaving only the juice.

Aajonus explicitly rejected fermented cabbage (sauerkraut) as a substitute for raw cabbage juice. When a patient mentioned they had started eating sauerkraut and thought it would serve the same purpose, he was direct:

The "KNU" he referenced here appears to refer specifically to the vitamin K, vitamin U, and associated biologically active nutrients that are rendered inactive or destroyed through fermentation. He continued:

This is an important distinction: fermentation, while beneficial in some contexts in the Primal Diet, destroys the specific therapeutic compounds in cabbage that make it medicinal for bleeding and ulceration.

The green/white cabbage and the red cabbage are treated as entirely different substances in Aajonus's framework. Green/white cabbage is the therapeutic standard:

• Used for internal bleeding, ulcerations, hemorrhage, varicose veins, mucous membrane healing, vitamin K and U deficiency
• Described as "soothing" to the intestinal system

Red cabbage is not recommended for these purposes:

• Described as "exciting" to the intestinal system rather than soothing
• He said "once in a while you can use red cabbage" in a juice blend, but it was clearly an exception case, not a recommendation
• In another consultation, when specifying a juice blend, he stated "and it should be green cabbage, not red cabbage"
• For eczema and ulceration protocols, he was emphatic: "When I mention cabbage juice, it's always green to stop ulcerations and eczema type reactions. Never red."

Aajonus specified "head cabbage", the round, firm variety, when he gave his therapeutic recommendations. He acknowledged Chinese and Napa varieties but stated he had not used them experimentally to the same degree:

He also described Chinese leaf cabbage separately in one consultation about a child with bruising:

This appears to have been a clarifying statement to identify which type he was recommending.

The preferred juicing equipment was a masticating juicer such as a Champion juicer, mentioned by name in one consultation:

If a blender is used: - Blend the cabbage - Strain through cloth - Wring out all juice - Discard the pulp

He expressed a preference for the juicer over the blender method, as the blender requires the extra step of straining and may be less efficient.

When giving instructions for daily cabbage juice consumption, Aajonus described a specific storage protocol:

This suggests that cabbage juice is juiced in advance and stored in small sealed glass jars in the refrigerator, then consumed at specific intervals throughout the day. The use of 4-ounce or 5-ounce jelly jars ensures precise dosing and preserves freshness.

A small amount of unheated honey may be added to the stored cabbage juice:

He consistently used the phrase "unheated honey", never processed or pasteurized honey, across all his recommendations.

---

In at least one consultation specifying a regular cabbage juice protocol, Aajonus recommended pairing the cabbage juice with cream:

This pairing was specified in the context of a twice-weekly cup of cabbage juice consumed separately from the main vegetable juice formula.

In the hemorrhage and hemorrhoid protocols, the mandatory pairing is unheated honey:

The honey was described as accelerating general healing beyond the cabbage's coagulation effect. However, he was clear that the cabbage alone will stop hemorrhage:

In the enhanced hemorrhage protocol, he added additional ingredients to improve taste and speed healing:

This gives a multi-ingredient hemorrhage formula: cabbage juice (1 cup) + 7 tablespoons unheated honey + 3 ounces raw carrot juice + 5 teaspoons lime juice.

Aajonus consistently specified that cabbage juice should be consumed separately from the main vegetable juice blend, not mixed into it unless the proportion was carefully specified:

In the cases where cabbage was incorporated into the regular vegetable juice formula (at 5–10%), this was treated as a measured integration, not a casual mixing. The standalone consumption of a full cup of cabbage juice was always separate.

The following is a complete compilation of every specific dose and frequency Aajonus specified for cabbage juice across all contexts:

| Condition / Context | Dose | Frequency | Duration | |---|---|---|---| | Hemorrhage (acute) | 1 cup (8 oz) | Immediately, as needed | Until bleeding stops | | Hemorrhoid bleed | 1 cup (8 oz) with 7 tbsp honey | During bleed | As needed | | Active internal bleeding, regular days | 4 oz (as 10% of quart juice) | Daily | Until resolved | | Active internal bleeding, bleeding days | 8 oz (half a cup morning, half evening) | Days of active bleeding | As needed | | Varicose veins / vascular degeneration | Half cup (4 oz) | Every other day | ~6 weeks | | Varicose veins (in juice formula) | 5% of total juice | Daily | Ongoing | | Weekly substitute protocol (varicose veins) | 1 full cup | Once weekly, sipped over 20 minutes | Not specified | | Twice-weekly protocol (ulceration prevention) | 1 cup per session | Twice weekly, minimum 3 days apart | Not specified | | Recurring internal bleeding (preventive) | ¾ cup | Weekly | Not specified | | Intestinal leaking / bleeding | 1 cup total per day, 4 oz at a time | Daily | Until resolved | | Internal eczema / ulceration | 1 cup | Once weekly | Not specified | | In juice blend (open sores) | 5% of total juice | Daily | Not specified | | Child with bruising | 1 tablespoon | Daily | 4 days | | Stomach scarring (as part of juice or separate) | 5% of juice, or 15% separately adjusted | Daily | Not specified |

Key safety instruction: When consuming a full cup of cabbage juice in one sitting, do not drink it all at once. Sip it over a 20-minute period. Drinking it too fast causes gas.

Aajonus did not use cabbage as a culinary food in the traditional sense. There is no documented recipe from him featuring cabbage as a salad ingredient, solid food preparation, or main component of a meal. Its role is entirely medicinal and expressed as juice.

Formula A (open sores, hemorrhaging): - 55% celery - 25% summer squash - 20% parsley (or 15% parsley + adjustments) - 5% cabbage

Formula B (stomach scarring, duodenum): - 80% celery - 15% parsley - 5% green cabbage (If cabbage is taken separately, adjust celery to 85%)

Formula C (intestinal eczema/ulceration): - 80% celery - 10% parsley - 5% green cabbage - 5% zucchini

Formula D (general bleeding in intestines, quart-per-day): - 60% celery - 20% parsley - 15% summer squash - 10% cabbage (on bleeding days: half the juice volume is cabbage)

---

There is no documented derivative product of cabbage in Aajonus's system beyond the raw juice itself. Sauerkraut, the most common fermented cabbage derivative, was explicitly rejected. No cabbage oil, cabbage powder, dried cabbage, or other processed form was ever recommended. The raw juice is the only form he endorsed therapeutically.

---

Aajonus documented his own personal use of cabbage juice as a successful remedy, referencing it in a brief workshop exchange:

This was in the context of a discussion about bloody noses and mucus bleeding, indicating he had personal clinical experience validating the efficacy of the remedy beyond just theoretical application.

No specific political or corporate corruption context was documented for cabbage in these sources, unlike some other foods in his system. However, his rejection of canned or bottled juices (referenced in the broader vegetable juice discussion) would apply to any commercially processed cabbage juice, which he would consider devoid of the biologically active vitamins K and U that make the fresh raw juice medicinal.
