Fulton recommends raw cabbage and celery juice to inhibit and decrease stomach ulcers a problem that she had first-hand experience with. The success of this remedy served as a career changing experience for her. Thereafter she studied to become a naturopath. Fulton experienced severe stomach problems in the early 1950s after she had migrated to Chicago from Tennessee. Soon thereafter, she began to suffer from a bleeding stomach ulcer for weeks. She pointed to growing up on a toxic southern diet and overeating as the root of the problem. She had been like the sick woman in the Gospel of Mark, who suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet never got better but grew worse. Through the stomach illness, she met a naturopathic practitioner who told her about the above treatment for stomach problems and her suffering ended in her dedication to naturopathy began.
