TAKE THE TIME TO READ – YOU NEVER KNOW 

I  never heard of this one before, have  you?

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 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
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
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, 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
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.

Please send this  article to everyone in your Address  Book.
The most  unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward
all the kindness one has  received, even to the most
undeserved  person.
