The crude saponins from the shoots (edible part of asparagus) of asparagus
(asparagus crude saponins; ACS) were found to have antitumor activity. The
ACS inhibited the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells in culture and
macromolecular synthesis in a dose and time dependent manner. The ACS at
75-100 micrograms/ml range was cytostatic. ACS concentrations greater than
200 micrograms/ml were cytocidal to HL-60 cells. The ACS at 6 and 50
micrograms/ml inhibited the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein in HL-60 cells
by 41, 5, and 4, respectively, or by 84, 68 and 59%, respectively. The
inhibitory effect of ACS on DNA synthesis was irreversible.

4. Natural Foods That Boost Glutathione Levels
Asparagus is a leading source of glutathione. Foods like broccoli (2),
avocado and spinach are also known to boost glutathione levels. Raw eggs,
garlic and fresh unprocessed meats contain high levels of sulphur-containing
amino acids and help to maintain optimal glutathione levels.

Abstract:
The term 'Mediterranean diet', implying that all Mediterranean people have
the same diet, is a misnomer. The countries around the Mediterranean basin
have different diets, religions and cultures. Their diets differ in the
amount of total fat, olive oil, type of meat, wine, milk, cheese, fruits and
vegetables; and the rates of coronary heart disease and cancer, with the
lower death rates and longer life expectancy occurring in Greece. The diet
of Crete represents the traditional diet of Greece prior to 1960. Analyses
of the dietary pattern of the diet of Crete shows a number of protective
substances, such as selenium, glutathione, a balanced ratio of n-6/n-3
essential fatty acids (EFA), high amounts of fibre, antioxidants (especially
resveratrol from wine and polyphenols from olive oil), vitamins E and C,
some of which have been shown to be associated with lower risk of cancer,
including cancer of the breast. Epidemiological studies and animal
experiments indicate that n-3 fatty acids exert protective effects against
some common cancers, especially cancers of the breast, colon and prostate.
Many mechanisms are involved, including suppression of neoplastic
transformation, cell growth inhibition, and enhanced apoptosis and
anti-angiogenicity, through the inhibition of eicosanoid production from n-6
fatty acids; and suppression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), interleukin 1
(IL-1) and IL-6 gene expression by n-3 fatty acids. Recent intervention
studies in breast cancer patients indicate that n-3 fatty acids, and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in particular, increase the response to
chemopreventive agents. In patients with colorectal cancer, eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and DHA decrease cell proliferation, and modulate favourably the
balance between colonic cell proliferation and apoptosis. These findings
should serve as a strong incentive for the initiation of intervention trials
that will test the effect of specific dietary patterns in the prevention and
management of patients with cancer.

Dear Melly,
I am a doctor in India and I want to know more about ASPARAGUS.The
testimonies you have shared are very thrilling. In a country like ours where poverty is the main cause for hindrence to treatment and even if they are willing to spend, no cure is promised, there comes the problem. Kindly send me more details.
