Health Tips - ' Asparagus For Cancer'
Improved in Lung Cancer, Hodgkins Disease,
Bladder Cancer, Skin Cancer
`Asparagus for cancer ' printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979.
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 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.
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 Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied
that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.

PROCEDURE:
1) Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and
store in the refrigerator.
2) 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
inacting 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.
