Clutathione is involved in detoxification. It binds to fat-soluble toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a water-soluble form that can be excreted in urine.<br /><br />Glutathione is also an important antioxidant. Dietary glutathione from vegetables such as asparagus has been associated with protection against some forms of cancer (Sen CK. Nutritional biochemistry of cellular glutathione. Nutr Biochem 1997; 8:660-72. Flagg EW, Coates RJ, Jones DP, et al. Dietary glutathione intake and the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancer. Am J Epidemiol 1994; 139:453-65) Glutathione has also "inhibited" cancer in test tube and animal studies. In preliminary research, higher glutathion levels have also been associate with good health in older adults.<br /><br />Asparagus contains more glutathione than any other common food item. A one hundred gram serving of asparagus is approximately five (5) healthy spears.<br /><br />According to the Washington Asparagus Commission, glutathion from asparagus can be... <br />A detoxifying agent; by binding to fat-soluable toxins thereby transforming them into water to be exreted in urine. <br /><br />An anti-cancer initiator <br />A regulator of free radicals <br />A restorative to better health in adults with gluatathion deficiency to: help prevent aging, arrest and control bad cell growth in HIV subjects, maintain levels needed to control chronic fatigue syndrome <br />A "catalyst"; to keep and assist vitamin C <br />Useful to prevent clot formation during operations <br />Can reduce side effects of chemotherapy <br />Can increase the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs (particularly cisplatin in women with ovarian cancer) <br />Can reduce blood pressure in diabetics with high blood pressure.<br />http://www.asparagus.on.ca/article.php?id=8 <br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />In the attached picture Jacob is holding the asparagus flour in 100 gram bags and also in a salt shaker. You can see the 4 steps...field fresh asparagus, chopped into pieces, dried and milled, and made into 100 gram bags. If a person took 7 grams of this every day they would get over 100% of their daily Vitamin K. We have sent our product to The Food Science Technology Centre for 13 different nutritional tests http://www.fstclabs.com/home.html.<br />We are going to try to take 7 grams every day in our family by adding it to all of our recipes. We will sprinkle a little bit on every dish. Because the asparagus flour is about 15 to 1 ratio of pure asparagus we do not need much to get our daily Vitamin K.<br />Here is the link to another article describing the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of asparagus http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=12<br />We sell the asparagus flour in 100 gram bags and for less than $1 a day you can get your daily Vit K and also the much needed glutathione (GSH).<br />Please google GSH and vitamin k to find further supporting articles about the medicinal properties of asparagus.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd62NRG_VLASJJOi7vcjyBQPsBzIFXTphKqaLhBP9uqcrJsaQZW7ZCWqkd5JPVJedtGf5YNwIGK3IdOzk76dM9klfMdo1q8dYMAL8Yiryloskud0CU6vHsmgV394tYGNSBbWDj9uX5JQ4/s1600/vit+k.bmp"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd62NRG_VLASJJOi7vcjyBQPsBzIFXTphKqaLhBP9uqcrJsaQZW7ZCWqkd5JPVJedtGf5YNwIGK3IdOzk76dM9klfMdo1q8dYMAL8Yiryloskud0CU6vHsmgV394tYGNSBbWDj9uX5JQ4/s320/vit+k.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619894922926492242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilF9x5dbwG0Wr1B49hYh7Nz-CV30VYfih1YylYioyT0-g7Ar2y34TuIrm7-dojGwTRrBgw6Yn1O5kXG5e83ITW1DqXstZWrphTmjJAA5KeGux1GqWUDUzGYp03IpZR776ttjUnKA5kSqFo/s1600/jake+and+asp.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilF9x5dbwG0Wr1B49hYh7Nz-CV30VYfih1YylYioyT0-g7Ar2y34TuIrm7-dojGwTRrBgw6Yn1O5kXG5e83ITW1DqXstZWrphTmjJAA5KeGux1GqWUDUzGYp03IpZR776ttjUnKA5kSqFo/s320/jake+and+asp.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619894915257238658" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192491283768210255.post-48699280248824672912011-05-26T06:44:00.000-07:002011-05-26T07:09:37.163-07:00Iron Chef<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEkrvCgvP1ybo356e52g9zgG0VrDqnJhobp4NwFqKUfgDjbE6Z9pzb9vqoj8kkP7y0znrSiUsXCOXbKCc1CeDoNpZrH-M3WmIGk9WSm_OWzUki58I0WtHdUjhsCJGBWoHww1JocWHiDVJ/s1600/Waterloo-20110525-00052.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqEkrvCgvP1ybo356e52g9zgG0VrDqnJhobp4NwFqKUfgDjbE6Z9pzb9vqoj8kkP7y0znrSiUsXCOXbKCc1CeDoNpZrH-M3WmIGk9WSm_OWzUki58I0WtHdUjhsCJGBWoHww1JocWHiDVJ/s320/Waterloo-20110525-00052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611021721154589458" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CYECA7c6C74L-CG4v4MyFF5OuLhUgYKCY6u_koHYAEQrLgImdOzQTbkAURWuq6MwBhrEsDyb48dUIm497XgfFI3ktZ7zL3obOtdj4MQvD85MreSOw9T5iPqjscT6kWjB8IBMxchzkuG1/s1600/Waterloo-20110525-00055.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6CYECA7c6C74L-CG4v4MyFF5OuLhUgYKCY6u_koHYAEQrLgImdOzQTbkAURWuq6MwBhrEsDyb48dUIm497XgfFI3ktZ7zL3obOtdj4MQvD85MreSOw9T5iPqjscT6kWjB8IBMxchzkuG1/s320/Waterloo-20110525-00055.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611021714777744674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquofUzGDgazphdA7qZKzUas6ekJZuvWcYwBgHIQOoDbbGCcyjzD8tNP3BbUnnTvG475TDeJiqPoeEkS71ji1cJJBkcACvxo8X4vzRhX4_DHzLb8lwKZNEE_cyKAosGcVFKB0zWkc2JH4G/s1600/tn.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjquofUzGDgazphdA7qZKzUas6ekJZuvWcYwBgHIQOoDbbGCcyjzD8tNP3BbUnnTvG475TDeJiqPoeEkS71ji1cJJBkcACvxo8X4vzRhX4_DHzLb8lwKZNEE_cyKAosGcVFKB0zWkc2JH4G/s320/tn.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611021714136228354" /></a><br />Wow...what a night! Huge congrats to Nick and Nat for a tremendous event. We had a great time and I really enjoyed tasting all the fine dishes and meeting so many "foodies". I am really sorry to the girl I spilled the asparagus ceasar on LOL. It was especially neat to taste asparagus ice cream and loved the asparagus pastry. The chefs came up with so many interesting ideas of how to use the asparagus flour.

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 forover 50 years. Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S.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 regularbusiness 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 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 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 hasinterfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am thereforeappealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather alarge 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, GiantGiant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain nopesticides or preservatives.PROCEDURE:that asparagus might cure cancer.<br />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.<br /><br />Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink.<br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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...</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192491283768210255.post-85522108849206473562009-05-09T19:25:00.000-07:002009-05-09T19:33:14.596-07:00My Mom's Famous Asparagus Soup Recipe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdb00RSEIz8WcLhtq6_NIZwBkE4urqWwyW7A_uWvCt2SjP9EcUDEr7cTMfvhhs05xRVGdK_J6uGAzXh8YfOHrUHJrkxksA_pLo5wFlD-oSOx8Ug6Wmm5HympEz3NngFGnmEaiuKK_7X3o5/s1600-h/asparagus-soup-ck-230698-l.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334017653647766994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdb00RSEIz8WcLhtq6_NIZwBkE4urqWwyW7A_uWvCt2SjP9EcUDEr7cTMfvhhs05xRVGdK_J6uGAzXh8YfOHrUHJrkxksA_pLo5wFlD-oSOx8Ug6Wmm5HympEz3NngFGnmEaiuKK_7X3o5/s320/asparagus-soup-ck-230698-l.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>1 lb asparagus chopped1/4 cup chopped onion2 cups chicken broth2 tbsp butter or margerine2 tbsp flour1/2 tsp saltdash pepper1 cup milk1/2 cupsour cream or yogurt1 tsp fresh lemon juicefresh chives for garnishIn a covered saucepan, boil the asparagus, onion, and 1 cup of the chicken broth.
