Asparagus for cancer

Three types of asparagus on a shop display, with white asparagus at the back and green asparagus in the middle. The plant at the front is Ormithogalum pyrenaicum, is commonly called wild asparagus, Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus fo r 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 favourable 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 treat ments, 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 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 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.
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 Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives..


* * PROCEDURE:1)

Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator.
2) 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 inacting 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 *

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!!

This is a must try.... We have all

been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is! better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects. WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I

can't wait for my next cough. Amazing! READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

Treatment:

To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as! we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alter! native therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, ! and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.

If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

1.Run a cold air humidifier in his room and apply a tiny amount of Vicks or Baby Vick (either one works fine) on his chest and neck. Make sure he's got a shirt on and is covered up. You can also give him a little drink of water to clear his throat a bit. Also try not to have the ceiling fan on (if you have one). It dries out the air. Hope he gets better!

2.She's right, the steam in the bathroom works wonders. Also, there are baby-strength cough medicines. You should ask your pharmacist for a suggestion.I used to prop my babies up a little. Usually I did this by having them lay with their head and shoulsers on my chest. When they have their head and shoulders elevated, it keeps fluids from building up in their bronchial tubes.Good luck. Don't give up until you get that baby some relief!

3.I do a cool mist humidifier in my room for my 7 month old he to just got over being sick. This seems to really help also I take him in his car seat in the bathroom with me while I take a hot shower and the steam really helps a lot.Be careful using vick rubs my pharmisist said my son is to young and he is almost 8 months. Use a kids comforter or regular blanket and fold it and put it under the head part of his crib mattress.

4.Cough is the most common symptom of respiratory disease, and is a result of irritation of nerve receptors in the throat, trachea (windpipe) and bronchial tubes. A recurrent cough is often due to recurrent respiratory infections but other causes may be responsible. Although it is often seen as a trivial symptom it can be very upsetting for both child and parents, especially when it occurs at night and disturbs the sleep of the family.How to work out the cause of the coughA cough that is worse in the morning is often due to an infection. A cough that is accompanied by a fever is likely to be due to an infection. A cough that is bad every year at a certain time of year may well be due to hayfever. Other symptoms such as itchy nose or throat, sneezing or itchy eyes may make the diagnosis clear. A cough that is associated with wheezing is likely to be due to asthma. A cough occurring mainly at night may be due to asthma. Most coughs are due to upper respiratory infections. These are usually caused by viruses and will get better with no treatment. A fever and 'cold'-type symptoms are often present. The only necessary action is to ensure that the child drinks plenty, and if the child is hot or uncomfortable, paracetamol can be given to make the child more comfortable. Usually the symptoms will ease off after 4 or 5 days, although a mild cough may persist for weeks. Worsening symptoms after 4 or 5 days may indicate a bacterial infection and in this case an examination by a GP is advisable. If necessary, antibiotic treatment will be prescribed. Sometimes after an infection an older child may develop a 'habit' cough. They seem well in every other way, and the cough tends not to occur at night.Persistent cough in a child with hayfever symptoms may improve with antihistamine medication or a nasal inhaler, both of which can be prescribed by a GP.Night cough or cough with wheeziness may be due to asthma, and examination by a GP is advisable for assessment and treatment. Persistent cough in a child with known asthma usually indicates that the asthma is inadequately controlled, and medication may need to be altered. A visit to the asthma nurse or GP at the child's surgery is required. Treatment will involve both 'reliever' and 'preventer' inhalers, and it may take some weeks before the right combination of medication is established.Many people underestimate the effect of parental smoking on children. If both their parents smoke young children are twice as likely to have a recurrent cough and wheeze than if their parents do not smoke. A cough that develops after a 'choking' episode may be due to something that has been inhaled and is lodged in a bronchial tube (this commonly occurs with peanuts). If there is any suspicion that this might be the case it is wise to arrange for the child to be seen by a GP. Surgical removal of the inhaled object is usually required.Babies often cough because of reflux of milk into the bronchial tubes. This is due to poor coordination of breathing and swallowing and the fact that the baby spends a lot of time in a horizontal position. Symptoms improve as baby spends more time in an upright position and coordination improves.Medication available for treatment of coughMany different products are available for the relief of cough. In general they are not very effective. Cough is a normal healthy response to irritation of the nerve receptors in the mucus membranes of the respiratory system, and thus it is not usually advisable to try to get rid of the cough.Cough suppressants (such as pholcodine or codeine) are not recommended for children.Aromatic inhalations e.g. Karvol can be used in infants over 3 months and do sometimes help when a child's nose is blocked due to excessive amounts of mucus.Expectorant medication (ipecacuana and ammonium chloride) is supposed to help a child cough up phlegm, but there is little evidence that these products are effective.Soothing cough linctus such as simple linctus for children sometimes eases a dry irritating cough and is certainly safe.There are many many different cough medicines available over the counter, and most contain two or more active ingredients. In general these medicines are of dubious benefit, and may be harmful if they are used over a prolonged period, or in doses greater than those recommended. Any child with a cough that is disturbing sleep or that continues for more than a week should be seen by a doctor.
