According to Jeff Primack of Qigong.com, Asparagus has more Gluthathione than any other food. Gluthathione is a phytochemical that helps with detoxification of the body.
While you can receive injections of Gluathathione, it has been suggested that better results are obtained by eating asparagus.
According to Wikipedia, Gluathathione has the following functions:
1) It is the major endogenous antioxidant produced by the cells, participating directly in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen compounds, as well as maintaining exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced (active) forms. Note: Endogenous antioxidants are antioxidants that are made by our bodies versus exogenous antioxidants that we get by eating antioxidant rich foods.
2) Regulation of the nitric oxide cycle, which is critical for life
3) It detoxifies many foreign compounds and carcinogens, including heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic.
4) It is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential
Jeff Primack's action strategy for cancer is to boost the immune system and detoxify the body. He suggests lightly steaming asparagus rather than eating it raw. The cancer strategy he uses calls for eating asparagus every day in addition to other foods that are high in phytochemicals.
