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.
