Are you fighting cancer? Then read this. Asparagus -
Who Knew?????
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 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.
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.
The Amazing Cucumber
This information was in The New York Times several
weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home"
series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to
solve common problems.
1. Cucumbers contain
most of the vitamins you need
every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1,
Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6,
Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the
caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers
are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates
that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last
for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a
shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the
mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a
soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds?
Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden
will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in
the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a
scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests
crazy and make them flee the area.
5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite
before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or
two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few
minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause
the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the
outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite.
Works great on wrinkles too!!!
6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache?
Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and
wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers
contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to
replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping
everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover
and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening
snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for
centuries and often used by European trappers,
traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off
starvation.
8. Have an important
meeting or job interview and
you realize that you don't have enough time to polish
your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the
shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable
shine that not only looks great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge?
Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the
problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage,
facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber
and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals
and nutrients from the cucumber with react with
the boiling water and be released in the steam,
creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been
shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college
students during final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't
have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and
press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue
for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the
phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth
responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets,
sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and
rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will
it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine,
but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers
or fingernails while you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside
of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen
writing, also works great on crayons and markers that
the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
Could hot
cocoa be the next "wonder drug"
For high blood pressure?
Harvard researchers praise stunningly simple discovery!
According to recent estimates, nearly 1-in-3 American adults has high
blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands
off the Caribbean coast of Panama , hypertension doesn't even exist. In
fact, after age 60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian
islanders is a perfect 110/70.
Is it because they eat less salt? No. Kuna Indians eat as much, if not moresalt,
than people in the U.S.
Is it due to their genes? No. Kuna Indians who move away from the
islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood pressure as anyone
else!
So what makes these folks practically "immune" to
hypertension -- and lets them enjoy much lower death rates from heart
attacks, strokes, diabetes, and cancer?
Harvard researchers were stunned to discover it's because they drink
about 5 cups of cocoa each day. That's right, cocoa!
Studies show the flavonols in cocoa stimulate your body's
production ofnitric oxide -- boosting blood flow to your heart,
brain, and other organs. In fact, one study found cocoa thins your
blood just as well as low-dose aspirin!
But that's not all. A Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa can
also treat blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke,
dementia, even impotence!
Painless cholesterol
cure
works in just 7 days -- and drives
the "food police" crazy!
Want to lower your cholesterol so fast it'll make your head spin? It's
a breeze, just eat guacamole -- or any dish containing avocados!
Most health experts and nutritionists will tell you this rich,
delicious Mexican dish is BANNED from any cholesterol- watcher's menu.
But not Dr. Steven Pratt. That's because new research shows eating
avocados can lower your cholesterol even faster than drugs.... without
the side effects!
One study found after just 7 days on a diet including avocados, LDL
("bad") cholesterol and triglyceride levels dropped by 22
percent. Meanwhile, HDL ("good") cholesterol shot up 11
percent -- something most cholesterol- lowering drugs won't do!
The cinnamon cure for high blood sugar
Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your toast, cereal, oatmeal, or sliced apples. It
not only tastes good, it lowers your blood sugar!
In a recent study, people reduced their blood sugar levels by as much as 29
percent in just 40 days. That's with NO drugs, NO diet changes -- just plain
old cinnamon!
The fat that blasts away cancer
You've been told cancer runs in families. You've been told what to eat and what
NOT to eat -- including LESS fat.
Yet Dr. Steven Pratt says there'sone fat youshould
eat MORE of. It's the monounsaturated fat called oleic acid, found in
olive oil!It should come as no surprise. After all, olive oil is a staple of the
Mediterranean diet. And people inSpain and Greece are far less likely to
develop cancer than in the U.S.
But what's really interesting is how olive oil not only prevents cancer, it
blasts away cancer cells that already exist! So if you're even the slightest
bit worried about cancer, this is oneSuperFood you don't want to be
without!
NEW prostate-protecting champ trumps tomatoes!
Unless you've been asleep under a rock for the past decade, you've heard the
news about tomatoes. They contain a potent antioxidant calledlycopene
that's been proven to reduce the risk of certain cancers -- in particular,
prostate cancer.
A famous Harvard study back in 1995 found that out of 48,000 men surveyed,
those who ate 10 or more servings of tomatoes a week reduced their risk of
prostate cancer by more thanone-third. What's more, they lowered their
risk of aggressive prostate tumors (the kind that are really tough to treat) byHALF!
But before you reach for that slice of pizza or bottle of ketchup, listen up.
What if I told you about a sweet, refreshing food Dr. Steven Pratt recommends
that's even better for your prostate than tomatoes?
This NEW prostate protecting champ is watermelon! Ounce for
ounce, watermelon is even richer in lycopene than tomatoes. And since you
probably eat more watermelon in one sitting than you do tomatoes, you don't
have to gorge on it 10 times a week in order to slash your cancer risk!
Just a few times a week should do it.
Knock out an ulcer with broccoli?!
About 25 million Americans will suffer from a peptic ulcer at some point in their lives. To get rid of their
ulcers, most will take an antibiotic likeamoxicillin.
Pretty tame stuff, right? Wrong! Amoxicillin can bring with it unwanted side
effects like fever, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, even a yucky
condition called "hairy tongue"!
And if you think that's bad, according to the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), the cost of treating an ulcer with antibiotics over an average 17-day
period can run upward of $1,000!
Fortunately, there's oneunconventional treatment with NO side effects
Dr. Pratt swears by. "Eat broccoli!" he says. Why?
Broccoli contains a remarkably potent compound called sulforaphane, that
kills off the H. pylori bacteria that cause most ulcers. Not only can it
knock out an ulcer, eating one serving a day for a month might run you 20
bucks... a fraction of the cost of drugs.
Clean Your Kidneys with LESS Than $1.00
Years pass by and our kidneys are
filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our
body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning
treatments and how are we going to overcome this?
It is very easy, first take a
bunch of parsley (MALLI Leaves)and wash it clean
Then cut it in small pieces and
put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it
cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside
refrigerator to cool.
Drink one glass daily and you
will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by
urination also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt
before.
Parsley is known as best cleaning
treatment for kidneys and it is natural!
SWEET
POISON! AMUST
READ!
In
October of 2001, my sister started getting
very
sick. She
had stomach spasms and she was having a
hard time
getting around. Walking was a major
chore. It
took everything she had just to get out of
bed;
she was in so much pain. By March
2002,
she had undergone several tissue and
muscle
biopsies and was on 24 various
prescription
medications. The doctors could not
determine what was wrong with
her. She
was in so much pain, and so sick she just
knew she
was dying. She
put her house, bank accounts, life
insurance,
etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and
made sure
that her younger children were to be taken
care
of. She also wanted her last
hooray, so
she planned a trip to Florida (basically
in a
wheelchair) for March 22nd. On
March 19 I
called her to ask how her most recent
tests went,
and she said they didn't find anything on
the
test, but they believe she had
MS. I
recalled an article a friend of mine
e-mailed to
me and I asked my sister if she drank diet
soda? She
told me that she did. As a matter of
fact, she was getting ready to crack one
open that
moment. I told her not to open it,
and to
stop drinking the diet
soda! I
e-mailed her article my friend, a lawyer,
had
sent. My
sister called me within 32 hours after our
phone
conversation and told me she had stopped
drinking
the diet soda AND she could walk! The
muscle spasms went away. She said she
didn't feel
100% but, she sure felt a lot
better. She
told me she was going to her doctor with
this
article and would call me when she got
home.
Well, she called me, and said her
doctor
was amazed! He
is going to call all of his MS patients to
find
out if they consumed artificial sweeteners
of any
kind. In a
nutshell, she was being poisoned by the
Aspartame
in the diet soda...and literally dying a
slow and
miserable death. When she got to
Florida
March 22, all she had to take was one
pill, and
that was a pill for the Aspartame
poisoning! She
is well on her way to a complete recovery.
And
she is walking!No
wheelchair! This
article saved her life. If it says
'SUGAR
FREE' on the label; DO
NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I have spent
several
days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL
CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as
'Nutra
Sweet,''Equal,'
and 'Spoonful.' In
the keynote address by the EPA, it was
announced
that in the United States in 2001 there is
an
epidemic of multiple sclerosis and
systemic
lupus. It
was difficult to determine exactly what
toxin was
causing this to be rampant. I
stood up and said that I was there to
lecture on
exactly that subject. I will explain
why
Aspartame is so dangerous: When
the temperature of this sweetener exceeds
86
degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME
converts
to formaldehyde and then to formic acid,
which in
turn causes metabolic acidosis.. Formic
acid is
the poison found in the sting of fire
ants. The
methanol toxicity mimics, among other
conditions,
multiple sclerosis and systemic
lupus. Many
people were being diagnosed in error.
Although multiple sclerosis is not a
death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!
Systemic lupus has become almost
as
rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially
with
Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi
drinkers. The
victim usually does not know that the
Aspartame is
the culprit. He
or she continues its use; irritating the
lupus to
such a degree that it may become a
life-threatening condition. We
have seen patients with systemic lupus
become
asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas. In
cases of those diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis,
most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen
many
cases where vision loss returned and
hearing loss
improved markedly. This also
applies to
cases of tinnitus and
fibromyalgia. During
a lecture, I said, 'If
you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra
Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and
you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms,
spasms,
shooting, pains, numbness in your
legs,Cramps,Vertigo,Dizziness,Headaches,Tinnitus,Joint
pain, Unexplainable
depression, anxiety attacks, slurred
speech,
blurred vision, or memory loss you
probably have
ASPARTAME poisoning!' People were
jumping up
during the lecture saying, 'I
have some of these
symptoms.. Is
it reversible?'
Yes!Yes!Yes! STOP
drinking diet sodas and be alert for
Aspartame on
food labels! Many
products are fortified with it! This
is
a serious problem. Dr.
Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that
so many
people seem to be symptomatic for MS and
during
his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse
stated that
six of her friends, who were heavy
Diet
Coke addicts, had all been
diagnosed with MS. This is beyond
coincidence!
Diet soda is NOTa diet product! It is a
chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt)
and
ASPARTAME containing product that actually
makes
you crave carbohydrates.
It
is far more likely to make you GAIN
weight!
These
products also contain formaldehyde, which
stores
in the fat cells, particularly in the hips
and
thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute
toxin and is used primarily to preserve
'tissue
specimens.' Many
products we use every day contain this
chemical
but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!
Dr.
H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that
once
free of the 'diet
products' and with no
significant
increase in exercise; his patients lost an
average
of 19 pounds over a trial period.
Aspartame is especially dangerous
for
diabetics. We
found that some physicians, who believed
that they
had a patient with retinopathy, in fact,
had
symptoms caused by
Aspartame. The
Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of
control. Thus
diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due
to the
fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine
are
NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other
amino
acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is all about
BALANCE. Especially
with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the
blood/brain barrier and it then
deteriorates the
neurons of the brain; causing various
levels of
brain damage,Seizures,Depression,Manic
depression,Panic
attacks, Uncontrollable
anger and rage. Consumption of
Aspartame
causes these same symptoms in
non-diabetics as
well. Documentation
and observation also reveal that thousands
of
children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have
had
complete turnarounds in their behavior
when these
chemicals have been removed from their
diet. So
called 'behavior modification prescription
drugs'
(Ritalin and others) are no longer
needed. Truth
be told, they were never NEEDED in the
first
place! Most
of these children were being 'poisoned' on
a daily
basis with the very foods that were
'better for
them than sugar.' It is also
suspected
that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets
ofdiet Coke and diet
Pepsiconsumed by men and women
fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially
to
blame for the well-known Gulf War
Syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can
cause birth
defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken
at the
time of conception and during early
pregnancy. Children
are especially at risk for neurological
disorders
and should NEVER be given artificial
sweeteners.
There
are many different case histories to
relate of
children suffering grand mal seizures and
other
neurological disturbances talking about a
plague
of neurological diseases directly caused
by the
use of this deadly poison.' Herein
lies
the problem: There
were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame
was
included in 100 different products and
strong
objection was made concerning its use.
Since this
initial hearing, there have been two
subsequent
hearings, and still nothing has been
done. The
drug and chemical lobbies have very deep
pockets.
Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on
Aspartame has
EXPIRED! There
are now over 5,000 products on the market
that
contain this deadly chemical and there
will be
thousands more introduced. Everybody
wants a 'piece of the Aspartame
pie.' I
assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of
Aspartame, knows how deadly it is. And
isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among
others,
the American Diabetes Association, the
American Dietetic Association and the
Conference
of the American College of Physicians?
This has been recently exposed in
the New
York Times. These [organizations]
cannot
criticize any additives or convey their
link to
MONSANTO because they take money from the
food
industry and are required to endorse their
products. Senator Howard
Metzenbaum wrote
and presented a bill that would require
label
warnings on products containing Aspartame,
especially regarding pregnant women,
children and
infants. The
bill would also institute independent
studies on
the known dangers and the problems
existing in the
general population regarding seizures,
changes in
brain chemistry, neurological changes and
behavioral symptoms. The bill was
killed.
It is known that the powerful drug
and
chemical lobbies are responsible for this,
letting
loose the hounds of disease and death on
an
unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well,
you're
informed now! YOU
HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
