Asparagus -- Who knew?
From a friend –
My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned
style
asparagus, pureed it and took 4 tablespoons in
the morning
and 4 tablespoons later in the day. She did
this for over a month.
She is on chemo pills for Stage 3
lung cancer in the pleural area and
her cancer cell
count went from 386 down to 125 as of this past
week.
Her oncologist said she will not need to see him for 3
months.
THE
ARTICLE:
Several years ago I met a man seeking asparagus for a
friend
who had cancer. He gave me a copy of an article,
entitled "Asparagus For
Cancer" printed in the
Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will
share it
here, just as it was shared with me: I am a
biochemist, and have
specialized in the relation of diet
to
health or over 50 years. Several years ago, I learned
of the discovery of Richard R.
Vensal, D.D.S. that
asparagus
might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked
with him on his project. We
have accumulated a number
of favorable case
histories. Here are a few examples:
Case
No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case
of Hodgkin's disease (cancer
of the lymph glands) who
was
completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting
the asparagus therapy, his
doctors were unable to
detect
any signs of cancer, and he was back on a
schedule of strenuous
exercise.
Case No. 2, A successful businessman, 68
years old,
suffered from
cancer of the bladder for 16 years.
After
years of medical treatments, including radiation
without improvement, he began
taking asparagus. Within 3
months, examinations
revealed that his bladder tumor
had
disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.
Case No. 3, On March 5th 1971, a man who had
lung
cancer was put on
the operating table where they found
lung cancer so widely spread
that it was inoperable.
The surgeon sewed him up and declared his
case
hopeless. On April
5th he heard about the Asparagus
therapy and immediately
started taking it. By August,
x-ray pictures revealed
that all signs of the cancer had
disappeared.
He is now back at his regular business
routine.
Case No. 4, A woman had been troubled for a
number of
years with skin cancer. She developed different skin
cancers
which were
diagnosed by the acting specialist as advanced.
Within 3 months after
beginning asparagus therapy, the skin specialist said her skin looked
fine with no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus
therapy also cured her
kidney disease, which had started in 1949. She
had over 10
operations for kidney stones, and was receiving
government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney
condition.
She attributes
the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus treatment.
I
was not surprised at this result as `The elements of
materia
medica', edited in1854 by a Professor at the
University of
Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was
used as a popular remedy for
kidney stones. He even
referred to experiments, in 1739, on the
power of
asparagus in dissolving stones. Note the dates!
We would
have other case histories but the medical
establishment has
interfered with our obtaining some
of
the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to
spread this good
news and help us to gather a large
number of case histories that
will overwhelm the
medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple
and
natural remedy.
For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked
before using. Fresh or canned
asparagus can be
used. I
have corresponded with the two leading caners of asparagus, Giant and
Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or
preservatives. Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to
make a puree. Store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full
tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening. Patients usually show some
improvement in 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a
cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience,
but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some
cases. As a
biochemist I
am convinced of the old saying that `what
cures can prevent.' Based on
this theory, my wife and I
have
been using asparagus puree as a beverage with
our meals. We take 2
tablespoons diluted in water to
suit
our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take
mine hot and my wife prefers
hers cold. For years we
have
made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as
part of our regular checkups.
The last blood survey,
taken
by a medical doctor who specializes in the
nutritional approach to
health, showed substantial
improvements
in all categories over the last one, and
we can attribute these
improvements to nothing but
the
asparagus drink. As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all
aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a
result, I am
convinced that asparagus fits in better
with the latest theories
about cancer.
Asparagus
contains a good supply of protein called
histones, which are
believed to be active in controlling
cell growth. For that reason, I
believe asparagus can
be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth
normalizer.
That accounts for its action on cancer and
in acting as a general
body tonic. In any event,
regardless of theory, asparagus used as we
suggest, is
a harmless
substance. The FDA cannot prevent you
from
using it and it may do you much good. It has
been reported by the US
National Cancer Institute, that
asparagus is the highest tested food
containing
glutathione, which is considered one of the body's
most potent anticarcinogens
and antioxidants.
Just a side note... In case you are wondering why
this has
not been made public, there is no profit in curing
cancer!
