Asparagus Therapy

FOR more than two years, Josephine (not her real name) was troubled with skin problems. It was not until she consulted a physician that she found out she had various skin cancers, which were in "advanced stage."

After being told so, Josephine went to a friend and confided her health problem. In between sobs, her friend suggested that she underwent asparagus therapy.

Since she won't lose anything anyway, she tried it. Three months later, the skin specialist was surprised to see that her patient's skin looked fine and there were no more skin lesions.

On the other hand, Oscar was put on the operating where doctors found that his lung cancer so widely spread that it was "inoperable." The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case was "hopeless." A month later after the incident, he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. Almost four months after taking the asparagus therapy, his x-ray pictures showed that all signs of cancer had disappeared. Today, he is back at his regular business routine.

The stories of Josephine and Oscar were just two of the four cases featured in an article, "Asparagus for Cancer," published in the December 1979 issue of Cancer News Journal.

An American biochemist who, after reading the article, commented, "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."

According to the US National Cancer Institute, asparagus contains a high amount of glutathione, one of the body's most potent cancer fighters. Glutathione helps build proteins and DNA, which contains our genetic code and is found in all our cells; assists in metabolism; fights free radicals; helps keep red blood cells healthy; and protects cells from damaging substances like drugs, smoke, or pollution. It is also a good source of antioxidant.
