> 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. 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.
>
> Please spread the news.... the most unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward all
> the kindness one has received, even to the most undeserved person..
