A cancer survival kit

Juli,  I am a breast cancer survivor and I will put your friend in my prayers.  This is such a horrible thing (any kind of cancer).  We must also pray for a cure for all cancers.  I don't know if this works, but here it is.  This was sent to me when I was told I had cancer.

 THE ARTICLE:

 Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friendwho 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,

 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 hisregular 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 forkidney 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 evenreferred 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 appealingto 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 andwith dinner. 

I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years wehave 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 ofcancer,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 incontrolling 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.

Thanks again Juli.
