ASPARAGUS A lady 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'.

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.
