Asparagus and Cancer

Asparagus 'cure' for Cancer
I have lung cancer and was recenly diagnosed. I've been on the asparagus regimin for 2 weeks now and have noticed a progressive ease to my pain and coughing spasms, which have been violent and inconsistent. I've noticed the blood in the sputum is decreasing! I haven't as yet had a biopsy. I've read about the treatment and the name John D. Broome in Texas who did the study and had several patients with different types of cancer who had their cancers reversed! Because I've had difficulty finding something that WILL work, and haven't had the biopsy yet and haven't had much luck in being helped by the Patient Advocate at the American Center Society as well an equal lack of direction, I wanted to try homeopathic rather than destructive remedies! While waiting, I'm trying the asparagus therapy as well as the ABM mushrooms extract I've read about! I've also changed my diet to primarily fruits and veggies. The asparagus works with a 1/4 cup of cooked asparagus twice a day...no more no less! As I've read, the chemical asparaginase is created (which is the chemical that works to destroy the cancer cells) only when cooking it. I used canned asparagus cuz I'm not a cook and don't enjoy cutting up and cooking anything! It's also cheaper! The ABM mushroom comes from Brazil and there is an extract I've also ordered, made in Colorado! The ABM mushroom is 3 times as potent with its polysaccarides/beta glutens that help bolster the immune system.

Fads over the years
First off Sloan Kettering is a great cancer hospital so I would consider what they had to say about asparagus.

I remember when I was diagnosed over 22 years ago, the big thing was making and drinking Essiac tea. I ran out and got some but only used it for a short time and there were no great changes but who knows. We look for quick fixes but they can be harmful too so always pass these things by your doctors before consuming any fadish or new 'cure'. Sometimes there are some natural ingredients that can work against your treatments or make certain things worse even if they aren't harmful in themselves.

For instance if you are on blood thinners for any reason then Vit K is something you shouldn't be consuming in great quantities as it will affect the thinners. There could be all kinds of medicine interactions too with any kind of natural remedies making the medecine less effective or even harmful in some way.

So write down the things you are interested in and pass them by your doctors first before trying them. Also you have to understand that everyone is different as all cancers are different in how they will run with any one person so it makes sense that even if one thing works for someone (for whatever reason) it might not work with everyone.

Don't take ANYTHING that you haven't passed by your doctors first, take it from a long term survivor, not a good idea. If you can't get input from your doc when you need it oftentimes a pharmacist can help you too if you know all the drugs you are on including all the chemo drugs.

All the best. Bluerose

Fad!
I remember a women next to me during chemo taking this regime for months. She was so assured it would help her beat the cancer. Before her last chemo she visited the doc and her tumor markers were way up....she was distraught to say the least.

Assumption...just old wives tale!! Try to follow The Anti-Cancer book, way of eating by Dr. Servan-Schreiber....suggest this way of living.

Asparagus and Cancer
While I believe that God is the healer of all illness, I would like to say to everyone here inquiring or commenting on the asparagus cure for cancer. My father-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer in May or 2010 and given 6 months to live by one doctor. He asked me to find him another doctor which we did. The new doctor told him he did not believe the cancer was as bad as was first told to him, but wanted to do his own scans anyway. My father-in-law did the scan and when the doctor got the results back, he called him and told him to come back in that same week, that it was worse than he thought. He told my father-in-law that he was going to treat him with the chemo pill - he also told him that this pill would not CURE his cancer, but rather, put a shield around it to stop it from spreading thereby giving him a longer life span. He started on the pills at the end of June, by the end of July we thought the chemo was going to kill him. We decided that his quality of life would far out way whatever time he had left, so he stopped the chemo. In the meantime his sister had sent him an article about asparagus helping cure cancer. He had us get him some canned asparagus and he started taking this every day. In September he went back for another scan and then that same week went to see the doctor. When he looked at the new scan, comparing the first one with it - side by side - he couldn't believe what he was looking at!! The cancer was 97% gone! He had another scan and a doctor visit in December of 2010 and the cancer was 100% gone. He has been cancer free since that time. He was going every 3 months the first part of 2011 and then by June when he was still cancer free, they moved him to every 6 months. He went for his latest check up in November of 2011 and is still doing good. Please let me add that he was 83 years old when he was diagnosed. I don't know if it was all God's hand, a combination of chemo and asparagus and God or what it was, but I have to say that I am a believer. If you are looking at a grim outcome anyway, what can it hurt and if it truly cures, then that is a BIG plus.

Asparagus as a treatment
My wife was diagnosed with Cervical cancer about 2 weeks ago. That was a shock. After the shock subsided some I started reading everything I could find on the internet and stumbled on to csn. About that time I received an email from out of the blue about Asparagus. I then found your post and immediately took a copy to my wife's doctor. He was basically non committal but added that he had seen articles in his medical journals saying that it could help. Then he added, "it can;t hurt". So, I went out and bought canned asparagus. I just pureed it, added a dash of salt and black pepper. My wife is taking 1/4 cup twice a day. My question is, "are we doing it right"? My wife is continuing with her other medications, but if this can give a little help then it's worth the effort. Also, would fresh asparagus be better and how should it be prepared?

Thanks
