This was sent to me the other day and although there are loads of weird and whackies out there on t'internet, I can't see how this one could do any harm so thought it worth sharing with you. Anybody else heard anything to say it is a load of old tosh?

 

 

Subject: Interesting Article On Asparagus

 

Who knows if this article is correct .. I checked http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/asparagus.asp and it is undetermined.

 

Interesting article: "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, .

 

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 , 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 cure 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 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.

Sounds interesting. You have to eat a lot of asparagus though.

I don't know about curing cancer, but it certainly makes my pee smell funny

[Alis girls]

OOOh charming I had a patient yesterday ask about tomatoes and cholesterol lowering. I know theres been something in the press recently about this and I think with a lot of these diets you would have to eat bucketfuls to get the benefit. Then your wee would be VERY smelly Also too many tomatoes can cause other problems because they contain potassium which cause heart arrhymias in large doses. cant win really. everything in moderation

[Jillus]

I was a bit worried when I read the title of this thread as yesterday I bought 2 packs of M&S asparagus on special offer and was going to do them tonight with poached eggs.

 

So it's actually Good for me, great, usually you hear that you favourite things are going to give you cancer.

 

Anyone notice how Puffed Wheat also makes your wee smell funny?

Asparagus is high in folates I think like things like sprouts. I think these are powerful antioxidants therefore good for cancer prevention.

 

We have a good sized asparagus bed and eat it pretty much daily for 6-8 weeks per year

[..lay a little egg for me]

A sample of 4 patients out of the millions of people who get cancer each year is hardly enough to make a strong case for asparagus! Where is the list of people who took asparagus and it did not affect their cancer I wonder?

 

Still, I do like asparagus...

any advice for an asparagus bed? have tried twice to grow it with no success. I spent 6-8 a year down at my local asparagus farm! I cant get enough of it

 

 

re the cancer thing I have seen a programme similar where breast milk was used (Yes grown men making smoothie with milk they buy off the internet!!! )

 

Anyway it might do the trick it might just be placebo either way its a good outcome

It likes a sandy soil, where have you bought your crowns from? We bought the original ones from Marshall's and they were fine but we have bought a few from garden centres which have never really got going.
