Guyabano Fruit: For Cancer Patients?

I am sharing this article because I am hearing cases out here in the Philippines, cancer patients who are not needing chemo, and simply relying on this oriental fruit bearing tree. Simply boiling leaves with 2 glasses of water, or the bark itself... I'm blessed I can eat this almost everyday... If it really promises a cure for cancer, it wouldn't hurt to try it, I wouldn't wait for it to be approved by the pharma world too... and we all know why. It's actually quite yummy. Taking out the seeds is tricky but you can use the entire tree for tea, and the fruit itself for a delicious shake 

Guyabano, The Soursop Fruit has cancer curing abilities. The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects..

Guyabano is a tree called graviola in Brazil (and the Philippines) , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English.

The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types. Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss

* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections

* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment

* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..

* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!

* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.

The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public. Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, but as of now, no double-blind clinical trials.

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers.

Note By Tom Coghill. This research looks good but cancer is never that easy to heal. It would be great to put this to the test. The juice would have to be fresh. The seeds have to be removed before blending or juicing.

Guyabano Fruit For Cancer?

There were reports and web site information claiming that Guyabano is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy and the Adriamycin.  It is  a drug that is being used in chemotherapy for breast and other forms of cancer.

Some medicinal aspects are rampant in ethnology that, its unripe fruit can relieve diarrhoea, chewing guyabano leaves can dispel intestinal worms, and if topically applied the leaves will help heal wounds faster and brewing its roots can basically  reduce fever.

According to Wikipedia:  Nutritionally, the fruit is high in carbohydrates, particularly fructose. The fruit also contains significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B₁, and vitamin B₂.  The fruit, seeds, and leaves have a number of herbal medicinal uses among indigenous peoples of regions where the plant is common.

There is evidence indicating that the fruit’s extracts selectively inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells by down regulating expression of epidermal growth factor receptor 

(EGFR) in vitro and in a mouse model, but the effect has not been studied in humans.

But to prove that guyabano has anti-cancer properties, there is no scientific evidence up to now. And it has been circulating in the web for years, sad that these are misleading the people who are desperate for cancer cures.
