Asparagus -- Who knew? Can fight /Prevent Cancer

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!

The most unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward 
all the kindness one has received.
