Forward Mail:
Asparagus
Very interesting!
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.
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!
Please send this article to everyone in your Address
Book. The most unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward all the
kindness one has received.
God bless you!!!
