Asparagus- A MUST READ

Asparagus -- Who knew ? 
   This is from a friend
    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.
                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 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.
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
                 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.
