Asparagus for cancer

Someone's 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 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                  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.
