Asparagus for Cancer!?!

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 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 yrs 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 3/5/1971, 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 Apl. 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.

The Asparagus Treatment:

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, & we can attribute these improvements to nothing but he 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 reason, I believe that
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 US National Cancer Institute,
that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticar-
cinogens and antioxidants.
