From
a reader of the following message on asparagus:
When I was in the USN I was
stationed in Key West, FL. I worked at the clinic at Naval Air
Station
on Big Coppitt Key just a few mile north of Key West. The hospital at
Key West was for outpatient only for retired armed forces personnel
that lived in the area. If you needed to be hospitalized you were
sent
to Homestead AFB Florida. I had the day off and just went inside the
hospital(Corpsman barracks were next to hospital). There was a
retired
navy man that worked in the lab and he was very interesting gentleman
to talk with. He was a retired biochemist from the USN. he asked me
what was going on that day and I said I had the day off. I wish I was
working as the crew on today was taking a sailor to Homestead as he
had a very bad kidney infection. Now this elderly gent told me the
man
should have eaten more asparagus and he wouldn't have that problem. I
asked why? I'll never forget him saying do you eat asparagus and I
said yes, I love them. He replied you notice how your urine stinks
after eating asparagus? I said well I never thought it was what I ate
but yes it does have a pungent odor. It is because it is detoxifying
your body of harmful chemicals!!! This was back in 1986 when I was
stationed there and to read this email again I had to share this
story...Eat more asparagus my friends.
Asparagus -- Who
knew?
My Mom had been taking the
full-stalk canned style
asparagus, pureed it and 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 will not need to
see him for 3
months.
THE ARTICLE:
Several years ago I met a man
seeking asparagus for a
friend who had cancer. He gave me a copy of
an article,
entitled "Asparagus For Cancer" printed in
the
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,
suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16
years.
After years of medical treatments, including
radiation
without improvement, he began taking asparagus. Within 3
months, examinations revealed
that his bladder tumor
had disappeared and that his kidneys were
normal.
Case No. 3, On March 5th 1971, a man who
had lung
cancer 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 now back at his regular
business
routine.
Case No. 4, A woman had been troubled for a
number of
years with skin cancer. She developed different skin
cancers
which were diagnosed by the acting specialist as
advanced.
Within 3 months after beginning asparagus therapy, the
skin
specialist said her skin looked fine with no more skin
lesions.
This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured
her
kidney disease, which had 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 treatment.
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. Fresh or canned asparagus
can be
used. 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. 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.
Just a side note...
In case you are
wondering why this has
not been made public, there is no profit
in curing cancer!

The most unselfish act one can
ever do is paying forward
all the kindness one has
received. _______________________________________________
