Been looking for a healthier way to treat cancer? Discover this fruit that is 10,000 times stronger than chemo. Check out the article we found over at AltHealth Works.
In today’s social media-dominated world, one well-placed health graphic can practically start a revolution.
One of the most popular graphics making the rounds online today praises the health benefits of Graviola, the super fruit/herb/tree from the Amazon Rainforest, and its “powerful effects at stopping cancer.”
As the popular viral graphic says, Graviola, also known soursop, is “10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy” at killing cancerous cells, and basically positions Graviola as the answer to one of the most devastating diseases out there.
What is the truth of the matter and what does the FDA say about Graviola and stopping cancer? Let’s investigate further.
Health Benefits of Graviola May Include Antioxidants, Immune Support and More
Found in South America in the Amazon river basin, the Graviola tree is usually about 15-30 feet tall but packs a strong nutritional punch.
The tree’s fruit has a delicious custard-like texture and a striking, “spiked melon” like appearance, but most of the best health benefits are actually found in the leaves and bark. This is one important point many websites forget to make. The Graviola tree bark and the leaves have been consumed in healing teas by the Amazon natives for thousands of years to treat ailments ranging from arthritis to parasites to liver issues.
While the remarkable possible cancer-killing properties of Graviola have been disputed by government agencies, there is much evidence that the popular Amazon superfood offers a wide variety of benefits to help protect and boost your health.
Graviola and Anti-Cancer Studies
Perhaps the biggest and most comprehensive study on the anti-cancer effects of Graviola comes from Purdue University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, which looked at substances in the tree called annonaceous acetogenins.
The university spent millions on researching Graviola (and other plants for their anti-cancer effects including a similar one, the pawpaw, which actually has more of those compounds) and eventually found out some promising news: the compounds were shown to be powerful at inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, while remarkably leaving normal cells alone. These compounds from Graviola were also found to work against drug-resistant cancer cells as well.
Those who question the study, including the FDA, point out that these were in vitro results, done on cancer cells in test tubes and not in clinical trials.
Unfortunately, there are no long-term human studies on Graviola for cancer and other diseases it is believed to be effective against.
It should be noted that if you do plan to use Graviola, it is a powerful natural medicine and you should consult with a doctor first.That being said, if you’d like to see the research on Graviola for yourself, you can visit the website PubMed.Gov, which offers more than 23 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, science journals and online books. There are several studies on Graviola which can be found at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Graviola

Alana Henning Scott Kuizenga no it comes down to doctors keeping their oath. Of course pharmaceuticals have to make money. The research and development of drugs take years and years of clinical trials, after that have been developed. Then yes, they have to make a profit on top of recovering the costs of research and development. Unless you are talking socialized medicine and I’d hate to see our country go down that path!

My Dad and grandparents had pawpaws in West Virginia. Used to eat them when we visited family. To me they were a bit like mushy bananas
