This One Fruit Kills Malignant Cells of 12 Different Types of Cancer
Plus many other benefits
cancer
What would you do if you found out that the extract from a single fruit could keep the rogue cells of 12 different types of cancer in check?
Mainstream media reports that the fruit known as graviola, also known as soursop fruit, guanabana, or guyabano, is not a noteworthy cancer-fighter, but there are studies showing it effectively fights ovarian, colon, breast, prostate, lung, liver, cervical, lymphoma, and pancreatic cancers.
For pancreatic cancer, graviola was shown to be effective at “inhibiting tumorigenicity,” as well as “altering pancreatic tumor cell metabolism,” found one pathologist at the University of Nebraska.
Laboratory research also showed it to be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapy drug. And Graviola, unlike chemotherapy, can kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells.

What about cervical cancer? Soursop was beneficial in treating this cancer, too, as evidenced in this scientific journal.
Yet another study showed that graviola extract inhibited breast cancer cell growth:
“These data showed that dietary GFE induced significant growth inhibition of MDA-MB-468 cells in vitro and in vivo through a mechanism involving the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway, suggesting that GFE may have a protective effect for women against EGFR-overexpressing BC.”
Or you can read this PDF (download) detailing how a woman stabilized her metastasizing breast cancer with graviola.
And there are indeed more studies. Graviola contains potent anticancerous agents called acetogenins which play a key role towards many varieties of cancer. Acetogenins are potent inhibitors of NADH oxidase of the plasma membranes of cancer cells.
Graviola also contains phytochemicals such as Anonaine, Friedelin, Isolaureline, Annonamine, Anomurine, Kaempferol, Asimilobine, Quercetin, and Xylopine well as compounds such as Annonamine, and Kaempferol.

I don’t know what country graviola is native to, but it’s probably sold at international food markets if anywhere.
@Cburg: Christina’s article contains a link ( http://www.cancercenter.com/discussions/blog/experts-caution-against-soursop/ ) to one study stating graviola MAY be neurotoxic. I’d say there’s not enough human studies to show its efficacy in cancer treatment so this article’s a bit of bunk, not that chemo’s any better! Caveat Emptor as always.
where can we get this fruit? the leaves? the juice? or….it will be nice if there is a place in US that they sell this fruit.
The frozen pulp is available in many Spanish/West Indian supermarkets.
Where can you buy this fruit?
I found an article saying that graviola-soursop contains a neurotoxin that can cause Parkinsons:

Christina,
Your articles are always informative and interesting, but I’d love to be your editor for free. For example:
“12 different types of cancer” – If there are 12 types, why specify that they’re different? If one type was the same as another, there wouldn’t be 12 types. Also, only 9 types (not 12) are mentioned in the article.
“not a noteworthy cancer-fighter” – It apparently IS noteworthy (i.e., worthy of noticing), as it combats many types of cancer. More aptly, it’s “not widely known as a cancer-fighter” or “the public isn’t familiar with it as a cancer-fighter.”
“And Graviola, unlike chemotherapy” – “Graviola” is not a trade name and therefore should not be capitalized.
“Yet another study showed that graviola extract” – I’d reference this as “graviola fruit extract (GFE) so that readers would know what GFE means in the following paragraph.
“These data showed…overexpressing BC.” – This paragraph is too technical for the average reader. It could still be included, however, if the following paragraph began “Or, if the above is too technical [or has too many new terms] for you, then you can read this PDF…”
“called acetogenins which play a key role towards many varieties of cancer.” – Would be better as “called acetogenins, which play a key role in combatting many varieties of cancer.” Please note the comma after “acetogenins.” Also, “towards many varieties of cancer” can be misinterpreted as “helping” cancer rather than “fighting” it.
“Graviola also contains…and Kaempferol.” As anonaine, friedelin, etc. aren’t brand names, they shouldn’t be capitalized. Also, you’ve repeated annonamine and kaempferol as being compounds as well as phytochemicals; this could be confusing to some readers.
“Acetogenins are potent inhibitors of NADH oxidase of the plasma membranes of cancer cells.” – Careful here. Some studies indicate that the full functional significance of NADH oxidase of the plasma membrane is unknown, although it has some benefits for growth/growth control, immune function, and cellular repair; think of this in relation to cancer cells. On the other hand, it’s also true that various types of natural acetogenins have in vivo antitumor effects. Graviola leaf, however, contains both annonaceous acetogenins and alkaloids, and the alkaloids can be neurotoxic.
I regret being a “grammar Nazi,” but I made my living as an editor and can’t resist knee-jerk editorial nags. Even now, after I’ve retired, I still edit to make ends meet. TRULY, if your articles weren’t valuable, I wouldn’t be making these suggestions. I wouldn’t care enough about them to say anything. But you Always give useful and interesting information, and I’d like to see it be as “readable” as possible – because we Need it.
Thank you.
Hey Tsyganka,
Please send us an email at [email protected]. We’d love to speak with you about becoming an editor.
Thanks!
Natural Society – My email header read “This One Fruit Beats 12 Different Types of Cancer” PLEASE quit doing that. You have a WILLING audience. There’s no need to treat us like infants who must be coaxed, cajoled, duped, tricked, teased, and led into reading “what’s good for us.” That’s insulting.
The email header should’ve been “Extract of Graviola Fruit Fights 12 Types of Cancer.”
Thanks for your informative articles, despite the headers.
