Guanabana –Cancer curing Super Food?

The locally grown Guanabana Fruit, also known as Chirimoya or Graviola, is said to have cancer curing abilities. Sour Sop as it is called in English, is the fruit from the Guanabana tree and allegedly is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo. It has a delicious taste besides being completely natural and no reported side effects.

The fruit, a native of Mexico and Central America, is fairly large and the acidy sweet white pulp is either eaten 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, according to studies in several countries, a cancer remedy for cancers of all types. Besides it´s healing properties, Guanabana is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, and thought to be effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and recommended for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

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

* Treat cancer patients 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 Guanabana tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.
Various parts of the Guanabana 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.
.The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.

The results showed that Guanabana’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, Guanabana 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 Guanabana was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of the most commonly used chemotherapy drug, Adriamycin.

The most surprising find of a report by the Catholic University of South Korea, 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, Guanabana was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched,

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