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
materia 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'.
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.
