vitamin-u and Peptic-Ulcer

Index of glutathione system studied in 20 healthy persons (KG-1), in 20 with non-complicated duodenal ulcer (KG-2), in 210 patients with bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer, in 77 in early period after different operations. Results obtained showed that ulcer disease, complicated with bleeding was characterized by significant changes in glutathione system degree of which was depended on amount of the blood lost. Operations in early period enhanced disorders in glutathione system. Inclusion of cobavit into the complex of postoperative therapy provided recovery of glutathione pool activation of glutathiontransferase and glutathionreductase reaction that resulted in increase of withdrawal of toxic metabolites and activation of biosynthetic processes in patient's organism.

Refractory peptic ulceration is the term applied to those gastric and duodenal ulcers which remain unhealed despite active treatment for at least 3 months. Sulphydryl-containing agents stimulate the formation of gastrointestinal mucus, bind the oxygen-derived free radicals that mediate tissue damage and play an important role in protein synthesis. This is the first report which suggests that these agents stimulate the healing of refractory gastric and duodenal ulceration without any adverse events.

A clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of concentrated cabbage juice in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Patients at San Quentin Prison with a diagnosed ulcer crater were treated in a double blind control experiment. They were given either concentrated cabbage juice or placebo facsimile. The evaluation of the merit of this treatment was based upon repeated x-ray examinations of the ulcer crater. A period of 22 days was allowed for ulcer crater healing time. The results of this experiment indicated concentrated cabbage juice to be effective in healing of peptic ulcer.

Vitamin U, administered as raw cabbage juice to 100 patients with peptic ulcer, was apparently effective in promoting the rapid healing of uncomplicated peptic ulcers. The evidence of therapeutic benefit was (1) the rapid relief of the symptom, pain, without the use of any set plan of symptomatic treatment, and (2) ulcer crater healing time (determined roentgenographically) considerably shorter than in groups of cases, reported in the literature, in which "standard" types of diet and drug therapy were employed.
