The Asparagus Cancer "Cure"

I don't know if there is anything to this, but I received an email with a cancer cure from asparagus.  I wanted to share it.  I sent it to Ray just in case!   Agapelove

Asparagus and Cancer
Dear Friends and Family,

After reading this article over a month ago, I could not remember
where it was. So I asked my sister to send it to me again. I am
asking you to read it to the end. 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 asking 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 cure 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
Universityof 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.

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
USNational Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest
tested food containing
glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most
potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.
