The natural treatment that shows promise of a
better future for cancer sufferers -
SOURSOP
The Annona muricata tree is a flowering evergreen tree native to
tropical regions of the world, including Central and South America, parts of
Asia and the Caribbean.
Its prickly green fruit has been used for years as a herbal medicine for many ailments and
is known in English as Soursop, Brazilians call it Graviola and in Spain it is
known as Guanabana.
The fruit is very large and the sub-acid sweet white pulp inside, which
can either be eaten raw or used to make fruit drinks, has been recognised to
have a very beneficial fruit extract, an isolated and pure compound sample)that
can be used as a natural therapy to fight and win the battle against cancer, without the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy drugs, such as
extreme nausea, drastic weight or hair loss, and without harming healthy cells.
According to many reliable sources published throughout the Internet, drug industry research from numerous tests carried out as far back as the 1970's have shown that it now may be possible to achieve the following results from this natural source :-
According to many reliable sources published throughout the Internet, drug industry research from numerous tests carried out as far back as the 1970's have shown that it now may be possible to achieve the following results from this natural source :-
- Not only inhibit the growth of cancer cells, but
also effectively target and kill malignant cells of 12 different types of
cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, lung,, pancreas and prostate
gland
- Gain a stronger and healthier immune system during
the course of the treatment and, in turn, be better protected from deadly
infections
- Boost energy levels and positively uplift moods
Not only do the extracts from Soursop seeds carry beneficial health
properties, but also the leaves have been found to be cytotoxic to colon, pancreatic and lung cancer carcinoma cell lines,, with the potential treatment
that is reckoned to be equal to, or even exceeding treatment using
Adriamycin.
Bullatacin has been found to be cytotoxic against multi-drug,,Adriamycin, Vincristine and Vinblastine,,resistant human mammary
adenocarcinoma cancer) cells.
A study performed by a cancer research team at the Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre in the USA has revealed that Soursop/Graviola/Guanabana inhibits cellular metabolism,(the
means by which numerous signaling pathways manage the growth process, longevity
and distribution within the host). As a result of altering these parameters it
was found to have considerably reduced the rate of new cancer cell growth and
its spread.
Soursop/Graviola/Guanabana is also widely recognised as being a 'broad
spectrum anti-agent' for both bacterial and fungal infections, is
effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and
has long been used for depression, stress, and nervous disorders. It has also
been identified to effectively combat inflammation.
A word of caution : Neurotoxicity
For most people Soursop fruit is considered as a stand alone dessert fruit or a fruit juice that can even be made as an ice cream,... it has been described as having a flavour similar to strawberry and pineapple mixed with either coconut or banana cream ... delicious!
However, according to several studies, the fruit has been associated with a neurological disease similar to Parkinsons on Guadeloupe Island in the Caribbean - see the 2006 article in the Journal of Neural Transmission.

As with all conventional medicines and all natural remedies caution is
always needed before making any purchases to thoroughly research into
everything concerned with them, including reputability and extraction methods
connected with the manufacturing, distribution and supply of these products, together with always consulting a doctor/professional health advisor.
