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

Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, is commonly called wild asparagus,

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 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 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 asking specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and nomore 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 *

All the very best & have good health/life

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 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!

The objective of most upper body exercises is to build strength and
one important thing to remember is that exercises aimed at your upper
body should be just one part of an overall routine. It’s a good idea
for example to alternate upper body work with lower body work and also
include some general cardiovascular work, such as jogging.
Before starting your upper body workout, or indeed any other
exercise session, make sure that you spend at least ten minutes
warming up, including good stretching exercises. Warm, loose muscles
are much less likely to sustain injury and it’s also important to get
your circulatory system working effectively and warm muscles will help
with good blood flow.
Before starting any upper body workout you must also define your
aims. Are you, for example, trying to build up your muscles, or are
you simply looking to tone up your muscles. If you want to build
muscle then you will need to work with reasonably heavy weights and
complete a relatively small number of repetitions of each exercise.
For tone, on the other hand, you should be looking at lighter weights
but exercises involving a higher number of repetitions.
Whatever the case, these traditional exercises will help to get you
going. Some don’t require any equipment, while others require either a
simple set of free weights or some resistance equipment. Here,
resistance equipment would include things like handled rubber straps
or springs which work by providing resistance when placed under
tension.
One note of caution before you start: Ignore the commonly heard
saying that “exercise is not doing you any good unless you can feel
the pain”. Some mild discomfort (particularly if you haven’t exercised
for some time) is normal, but pain is your body telling you that
you’re pushing it too hard.
Push-Ups
Despite what many contemporary sports scientists might say,
traditional push-ups are still an excellent upper body exercise.. Lie
on your stomach with your back straight, feet together and hands under
your shoulders. Push up against the floor, keeping your back and legs
straight, then lower yourself back down to the floor again. To make
the exercise a little harder, simply slow the action down and raise
and lower yourself more slowly. Try to start with about twenty
push-ups and gradually increase this with each workout.
Chest Work

Grab a 10 lb (4.5 kg) pair of hand-held dumbbells. Lie flat on your
back on a carpeted floor (or a hard floor with an exercise mat) and
hold the weights in each hand with your palms uppermost and your arms
straight out to each side of your body. Slowly lift the weights and
bring your hands together high up above your chest. To vary this
exercise, and give your biceps a good workout, bring your arms up to
about twenty degrees and then bend and straighten your arms at the
elbow before continuing to raise them above your chest.
LATS

Lats is the commonly used term for the latissiumus dorsi muscles
which are the large muscles that run down the side of the upper body
and which give men their ‘triangular’ shape.
Still with the same pair of dumbbells, stand up straight with arms
and dumbbells at your side. Make sure that your body is well balanced
and breathe normally. Breathe in and, at the maximum point of
inhalation, thrust your arms away from the body, palms inward. Breathe
out as you raise your arms to shoulder height and then lower them
again slowly to your sides. Start with about ten repetitions of this
exercise and then build up gradually with subsequent exercise
sessions.

Biceps and Triceps

To exercise the biceps and triceps, move the weights in front of
your body, with your arms hanging above the front of your thighs.
Then, without swinging or pushing off the thighs, lift the weights
toward your chest using either both arms together or alternating
between your right and left arm. Again try ten repetitions of this
exercise to begin with and build up slowly.
If you don’t have any dumbbells to hand then the exercises for the
lats and biceps can be done using a long elastic resistance strap,
holding one end in your hand and hooking the other under a foot.
Pull-ups or Chin-ups
This exercise will require access to a bar slightly above
head-height, perhaps at your local gym or in a nearby playground.
Alternatively you could use a ‘removable’ bar which can be fitted into
a door frame at home.
This exercise is simply a case of taking hold of the bar with both
hands and then pulling yourself up until your chin comes level with
the bar and then lowering your body back down again. Chins ups are
performed with your fingers curled toward you around the bar and
pull-ups are carried out with your fingers pointing away from you.
This is an excellent exercise for building biceps, triceps, lats and
pectorals all at the same time.
Regardless of the exercise routine you decide to follow, don’t
overdo it. Build up your upper body strength slowly and gradually.

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.

Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.

In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone? If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to ‘cold’.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get “cooled off” faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ?

If left is faster, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practised by adults.
