"Red cabbage: Helps your liver in more ways than one. Its greatest role is involved with the intestinal tract, where it minimizes pathogens, expels ammonia gas from the body, knocks down fungus and bacteria, and sweeps out old debris and putrefied food, making a better environment for the ileum so B12 can be produced. Red cabbage is the liver’s secret weapon, as all these benefits to the intestinal tract benefit the liver, too. Just when you think red cabbage’s duties are done, its sulfur compounds combined with its deep purple-red pigment head up to the liver, where they revitalize and regenerate injured tissue, including tissue in the liver’s deep, inner core, making red cabbage an effective tool for liver recovery." ~Anthony William, Medical Medium

"He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
Have I not tarried?
Ay, the grinding; but you must tarry the bolting.
Have I not tarried?
Ay, the bolting; but you must tarry the leavening.
Still have I tarried.
Ay, to the leavening;
but here's yet in the word 'hereafter' the kneading,
the making of the cake, the heating of the oven, and the baking;
nay, you must stay the cooling too, or
you may chance to burn your lips."
