Graviola, a small evergreen tree native to the tropics of North and South America,
continues to be a promising cancer treatment. Graviola’s roots, bark, leaves, stem,
fruits and seeds have a long history of use by local residents of the tropics for various
ailments.
In 1976, the National Cancer Institute tested graviola stems and leaves revealing they
contained active cytotoxicity against cancer cells. A graviola chemical annonaceous
acetogenins attacks and kills various types of cancer cells without harming healthy
cells. Eight clinical studies published by three different research groups have
reinforced these findings. In 1997 researchers at Purdue University, funded by NCI and
the NIH (National Institute of Health), found graviola’s annonaceous acetogenins were
effective in killing the 2% of cancer cells which become drug resistant cancer cells.
Drug resistant cancer cells develop a pump which pushes out the cancer drug before the
drug can kill the cancerous cell. Graviola turns off this pump by robbing the resistant
tumor cell of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy the cancer cell needs in
order to grow.
In laboratory studies, graviola searches out and kills 12 different types of cancer
including lung, breast, and colon, prostrate and pancreatic cancer without harming heal
thy cells. Graviola also boosts your immune system improving your overall health.
A pharmaceutical company spent seven years researching graviola because of the
potential cancer fighting ability. They failed to extract graviola’s active ingredients,
so they buried their research since they could not patent a natural remedy. Eventually,
one of the researchers came forward with this important information. Although not yet
tested on humans, graviola has had more than 20 laboratory tests since the early 1970’s.
Graviola has been used by doctors and patients around the USA with amazing results.
Graviola’s potential cancer fighting ingredients may truly help in the treatment of
difficult cancers such as mesothelioma cancer. Graviola’s natural cancer fighting
ingredients would truly supplement mainstream treatments. At this time graviola is not
FDA approved as a treatment for any disease. Graviola is recommended as a food supplement
which supports immune function. Always inform your cancer doctor about any natural
supplements you are using during your treatment to prevent any problems with drug
interactions.
