The Controversial Cancer Cure - Asparagus

All of us fear cancer. Why? The reason is many of us who have heard of someone having cancer have died. However, not all did. You may have heard of someone who was cured medically by doctors. Or you might have heard of miracle cancer survivors who were cured by natural means - which is often controversial. One of those controversial cancer cure or cancer treatment is the intake of asparagus. This is nothing new. It has been rumored that asparagus can cure cancer and has saved countless lives. Before we go on further, let us give cancer a bit of introduction.

Well, cancer is the out of control abnormal growth of abnormal cells. Our cells normally grow, divide and then die at some time. On the other hand, cancer cells do not follow this pattern. They continue to grow and divide thus creating more abnormal cells. Not only that, these abnormal cancer cells attack other healthy cells which in turn make them cancer cells as well (much like zombies creating other zombies by biting them...). Cancer cells are abnormal because of the stated things above plus the fact that their DNA is damaged. Each of our cells has DNA (the "thing" which defines a cell and our body as a whole combined...) and when damaged to a certain degree becomes cancerous. That is why cigarette smoking is bad for us since it can damage our cells' DNA and will cause cancer.

Now to asparagus to being a cancer cure. There are reports that different types of cancers have been cured by eating asparagus. According to those reports, some have been cured of cancer of the lymph glands, cancer of the bladder, lung cancer and skin cancer. Those reports only show the claimed results. The "how and why" the cancer was cured remains unsolved. Some even say that the said treatment is a hoax! In any case, eating asparagus and using it as cancer treatment will do more good than harm. It has been said that asparagus contains antioxidants. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why it can help in curing cancer.

Whether asparagus can cure and treat cancer or not, it gives cancer patients hope and hope is one of the most important things in life especially when it is in danger. So if you know someone who has cancer you might want to bring this up to him or her to give them hope and try out something that might cure their sickness.
