Food Pharmacy For Stomach Ulcers

Dr. Alvenia Fulton (1893-1999) wrote “Eating for Your Health and Strength,” a column in the Black-owned-and-operated Chicago Defender. The following is in part her response to reader’s asking about cures for stomach ulcers. Stanford University Professor Dr. Garnett Cheney prescribed a quart of fresh cabbage juice for 13 days as a cure for stomach ulcers. Dr Fulton had suffered with stomach ulcers and other related ailments for years until she took Dr. Cheney's advice.  The remedy cured and inspired her to become what she called a health food, health store devotee in enthusiast and what I call a food rebel. She went on to recommend the cabbage juice prescription to people suffering from stomach ulcers.
