Asparagus (Who Knew????)/*

*/Asparagus (Who Knew????)/**Asparagus **My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned style asparagus that she pureed and she took 4 tablespoons in the morning and4 tablespoons later in the day. She did this for over a month.She is on chemo pills for Stage 3 lung cancer in the pleuralarea and her cancer cell count went from 386 down to 125 asof this past week. Her oncologist said she does not need tosee him for 3 months. **THE ARTICLE: **Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friendwho had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of anarticle,entitled, `Asparagus for

cancer' printed in CancerNews 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 ofdiet to health for over 50 years..Several years ago, I learnedof the discovery of R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagusmight cure cancer. *Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We haveaccumulated a number of favorable case histories. Here are afew examples: **Case No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin'sdisease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completelyincapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagustherapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs ofcancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise. **Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old whosuffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After yearsof

medical treatments, including radiation withoutimprovement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months,examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappearedand that his kidneys were normal. **Case No.. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971, hewas 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 aboutthe asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. ByAugust, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancerhad disappeared. .. **He is back20at his regular business routine.**Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of yearswith skin cancer. She finally developed different skin

cancerswhich were diagnosed by the acting specialist as advanced.Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skinspecialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skinlesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy alsocured her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving governmentdisability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidneycondition. She attributes the cure of this kidney troubleentirely to the asparagus. **I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements ofmateria medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at theUniversity of Pennsylvania, stated that asparagus was used asa popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred toexperiments, in 1739, on the

power of asparagus in dissolvingstones. Note the dates! **We would have other case histories but the medicalestablishment has interfered with our obtaining some of therecords. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread thisgood news and help us to gather a large number of casehistories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about thisunbelievably simple and natural remedy. **For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using,and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. *I have corresponded with the two leading canners ofasparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I am20satisfied that thesebrands contain no pesticides or preservatives. **Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make apuree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 fulltablespoons twice daily, morning and evening. **Patients usually

show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. Itcan be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. **This suggested dosage is based on present experience, butcertainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed insome cases. **As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `whatcures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I havebeen using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. **We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste withbreakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefershers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have bloodsurveys taken as part of our regular checkups. **The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor whospecializes in the nutritional approach to health, showedsubstantial 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 allaspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures.**As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in betterwith the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains agood supply of protein called histones, which are believed tobe active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, Ibelieve asparagus can be said to contain a substance that Icall cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action oncancer and in acting as a general body tonic. **In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as wesuggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent youfrom using it and it may do you much good. It has beenreported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagusis the highest tested food containing glutathione, which isconsidered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants. **Please spread the news... the most unselfish act one can everdo is paying forward all the kindness one has received, even to the most undeserved person.*
