ASPARAGUS --- WHO KNEW??

Asparagus -- Who Knew?



               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.
