Asparagus - Who would have thought?‏

ASPARAGUS

A lady 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 rspecialisednbsp;
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 historiesfavourable 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 andtumourt>
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 Univermedicalbsp;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&nspecialisesegories 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.
