Asparagus For Cancer

[skylady]

Recieved this from a friend of mine and wanted to share with all of you folks here :wink:

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

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.

Thanks for your fascinating article. One other problem is that mesothelioma is generally the result of the inhalation of fibers from asbestos, which is a very toxic material. It really is commonly noticed among workers in the construction industry with long experience of asbestos. It could be caused by moving into asbestos protected buildings for some time of time, Genetics plays a crucial role, and some folks are more vulnerable on the risk as compared to others.

Furthermore, i believe that mesothelioma cancer is a rare form of cancer malignancy that is commonly found in these previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous cells form inside mesothelium, which is a shielding lining that covers a lot of the body's body organs. These cells ordinarily form inside lining from the lungs, mid-section, or the sac that encircles the heart. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
