Asparagus and cancer ... Thx Nana and Marge R!

DO NOT FAIL TO READ ....Info about Cancer

 

 

Subject: Fwd: Fw: ASPARAGUS:: DO NOT FAIL TO READ THIS AND SEND A friend sent me this so I know nothing about it but hey, it's asparagus so

it can't hurt.

F.Y.I. - I received this from a very reliable person - thought you might be

interested.

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 out patient 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 (Corpman 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. Sev eral 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 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.

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!
