Asparagus -- Who Knew?
This is from a friend
My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned style
Asparagus that she pureed and she 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 does not need to see him for 3
Months.
THE ARTICLE:
Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a
Friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of
An article, entitled, Asparagus for cancer 'printed in
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
For 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 who
Suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After
Years of medical treatments, including radiation without
Improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months,
Examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had
Disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.
Case No. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th
1971, he 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 back at his regular business routine.
Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of
Years with skin cancer. She finally developed different
Skin cancers which were diagnosed by the acting
Specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting
On asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin
Looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman
Reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her
Kidney disease, which 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.
I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of
Material medica', edited in 1854 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, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as
Fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners
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, and store in the refrigerator. Give the
Patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and
Evening. Patients usually show some improvement in from
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.
