“The realization I gained from my bouts with this illness related particularly to the mental, spiritual work I was supposed to do on myself. 'My cancer' demanded of me absolute, unconditional love towards all my fellow men. It was only after my having fully internalized and put into practice this 'injunction' that I was healed. ”
Jakobe Jakstein
Camille Droz wrote in an updated edition of his historic book "Les propriétés merveilleuses de la feuille de chou" [The Wonderful Properties of the Cabbage Leaf] under the heading "Some results obtained after the publication of this brochure": "An unmarried woman living in Essertines sur Yverdon totally healed herself of a cancerous ulcer in her breast by regularly applying cabbage leaf poultices every day on the diseased part for six months in a row." [translated from French by Healing Cancer Naturally]
That the cabbage family used as a regular part of the diet boasts cancer-preventive effects has been established for some time (see for instance Epidemiological studies on brassica vegetables & cancer risk). Its use for poultices or packs however is relatively unheard of in modern times, although it seems to have been widely popular in earlier (including Roman) times.
The following is the abridged story of a remarkable woman, Jakobe Jakstein, who fully relied on her own means when she found herself dealing with several tumors which apparently, were of a cancerous nature. And in the process of healing her body, she underwent a remarkable spiritual transformation that greatly advanced the growth of her soul, furnishing us with another inspiring example of how a physical dis-ease can jumpstart a person on the path of accelerated spiritual growth.
When Jakobe discovered the tumors, she already had a long history of treating her own and and her family's ailments by herself, using mostly ... cabbage leaf poultices! She was inspired on this maverick path by necessity as well as the fortuitous discovery of the above-quoted book which in detail describes the amazing healing experiences with the humble cabbage leaf made in the 19th century by a French doctor, a discovery which saved her father-in-law's life when his physicians had given him up to die.
Mrs. Jakstein is not unknown in Germany. In addition to writing books on her experiences with natural healing centered around cabbage applications and a natural, no-medications and healthy diet lifestyle, she recently has received more notoriety for her use of cabbage treatments (both as poultices and internally) for all kinds of ailments, by appearing as guest in a well-loved German television program, where she testified to the amazing healing power of cabbage leaves.
When I asked her to send me a summary of her personal experience with cancer, to translate and publish on this website, she sent me the following:
[translated from German by Healing Cancer Naturally] "26 years ago I developed a tumor in my jaw and later a tumor behind my left eye. That these tumors were indeed cancerous was confirmed by a spiritual healer and two doctors who arrived at the same conclusion after learning my symptoms. I never had a biopsy done. I healed my jaw tumor with a simple ice bag. While I was cured, I did lose a tooth and a large part of my jaw.
When months later I developed another tumor behind my eye, I treated it solely with cabbage leaf packs. Two months later I was free of symptoms, but many years later I had two recurrences.
The realization I gained from my bouts with this illness related particularly to the mental and spiritual work I was supposed to do on myself. 'My cancer' demanded of me the absolute, unconditional love towards all my fellow men. It was only after my having fully internalized and translated this 'injunction' into action that I was healed for good.
Over the years, I have met several people afflicted with cancer who beat their disease primarily by using cabbage."
You can read more about Jakobe Jakstein's healing and spiritual journey and the astounding curative and detoxifying power of the humble cabbage leaf (including how to do cabbage poultices and a potted history of the use of cabbage applications for healing purposes) in her book "Wonder Drug Cabbage" which can be downloaded for free. This labour-of-love English translation of Jakobe Jakstein's German original is not perfect, but it is clear.
Jakobe asks the reader to consider reciprocating by offering a small financial gift, not to herself but to a fledgling organization Jakobe would like to support, the foundation LOTUSBLUETE (lotus flower). LOTUSBLUETE is an 'international foundation for physical, psychological and spiritual self-healing' to be based in Northern Germany. To receive their German bank details, please write to Jakobe Jakstein at jk.jk20ATyahoo.de (replacing the AT with @) or send your donation to Healing Cancer Naturally who will forward the funds.

More books on healing with cabbage leaf poultices (and much more!)
The late erudite Father Thomas Häberle from Switzerland has left us three small but information-packed books on natural healing two of which have been translated into English, "Helping & Healing" and "Counselling & Curing". Luckily, they are available (and inexpensively at that) via Abebooks.
Häberle’s books distill his experience as a naturopathic healer over several decades and are a real treasure trove of little known healing secrets incl. some very simple ways of successfully combatting geopathic stress (although widely read in the subject of natural healing, personally I had never come across most of what he shares). He also often used cabbage leaf packs but combined them with other simple measures to frequently reap spectacular healing successes.
PS. If you buy Häberle’s books via the above link, Healing Cancer Naturally will receive a commission of 5% (at no extra cost to you) which goes to support its humanitarian work (compare Support This Site).
