Jilly Juice
Complementary & alternative
Jilly Juice is a quack medicine in the form of a fermented drink that is falsely claimed by proponents to be able to cure an assortment of health conditions, including cancer and autism spectrum disorders, as well as regenerate missing limbs, reverse or slow down the effects of aging, and to "cure homosexuality". No studies have proven any of these statements, nor has the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the recipe. The juice, composed of water, salt, and fermented cabbage or kale, is falsely claimed to expunge Candida and parasitic worms. Scientific evidence has shown that this treatment is not only ineffective, but is also toxic with potentially deadly adverse effects.
