>>>>        Several

>>>>        He gave me a copy of an article, entitled
>>>> "Asparagus For Cancer"
>>>>        printed in the Cancer News Journal, December 1979.

>>>> 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, suffered
>>>> from cancer of the
>>>>        bladder for 16 years. After years of medical
>>>> treatments, including
>>>>        radiation without improvement, he began taking
>>>> asparagus. Within 3
>>>>        months, examinations revealed that his bladder
>>>> tumor had disappeared
>>>>        and that his kidneys were normal.
 
>>>>        Case No. 3,
>>>>        On March 5th 1971, a man who had lung cancer 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 now back at
>>>> his regular business
>>>>        routine.
 
>>>>        Case No. 4,
>>>>        A woman had been troubled for a number of years
>>>> with skin cancer. She
>>>>        developed different skin cancers which were
>>>> diagnosed by the acting
>>>>        specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after
>>>> beginning asparagus
>>>>        therapy, the skin specialist said her skin looked
>>>> fine with no more
>>>>        skin lesions. This woman reported that the
>>>> asparagus therapy also
>>>>        cured her kidney disease, which had 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
>>>>        treatmen      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. Note the dates! ---We would

>>>>        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

>>>>        asparagus can be used. I have corresponded with

>>>>        cancer.

>>>>        Asparagus
