" 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.
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 in1854 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.
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. Pat ients 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 helps 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.
