You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore

Bill Sardi

This online report, part of an advertisement for the herbal extract known as paw paw, or graviola, is likely to be grasped like a straw by any desperate cancer patient. But the online report never indicates whether the patient survived. Survival is the only gold standard by which to evaluate cancer therapies. For instance, surgery shrinks tumors, in fact it removes them, but may not prolong life. Paw paw extracts became available in 2003 and soon thereafter were promoted as a cancer cure.

Many herbs from the Amazon rainforest are anti-cancer, most notably graviola and cat's claw, both of which have received some notoriety over the last couple years, and deservedly so, in my opinion.

You'll find a variety of herbs like chanca piedra, una de gato (also known as cat's claw), graviola, jatoba and a great many other herbs that are biochemically active. They demonstrate anticancer activity, immune system enhancement, protection of the liver, the pancreas, the endocrine system, the nervous system, and so on. These phytonutrients help eliminate toxins and protect the body from parasites, bacteria and viruses, and other invaders. These biochemical effects are well-documented if you actually look at the scientific literature on these herbs.

The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals

Graviola produces these natural compounds in its leaf and stem, bark, and fruit seeds. Three separate research groups have confirmed that these chemicals have significant antitumorous properties and selective toxicity against various types of cancer cells (without harming healthy cells). These groups have published eight clinical studies on their findings.1-8 Many of the acetogenins have demonstrated selective toxicity to tumor cells at very low dosages—as little as 1 part per million.
In a 1976 plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute, graviola leaves and stem showed active toxicity against cancer cells, and researchers have been following up on these findings since.
Annonaceous acetogenins are only found in the Annonaceae family (to which graviola belongs). These chemicals in general have been documented with antitumorous, antiparasitic, insecticidal, and antimicrobial activities.13 Mode of action studies in three separate laboratories have recently determined that these acetogenins are superb inhibitors of enzyme processes that are only found in the membranes of cancerous tumor cells. This is why they are toxic to cancer cells but have no toxicity to healthy cells.
One popular preparation combines gervao with graviola (Annona muricata) and epazote (Chenopodium ambrosioides) into a natural remedy for this purpose (both plants are featured in this book). Besides its long history of use as a parasite remedy (which was documented as early as 1898), gervao also has been used by women in Jamaica and the West Indies for many types of menstrual disorders and female complaints. In many parts of the West Indies, a leaf tea is drunk after childbirth to restore health and to increase the supply of mother's milk.
One researcher studying graviola summarized this idea eloquently: "At the time of preparation of this current review, over 350 Annonaceous acetogenins have been isolated from 37 species. Our preliminary efforts show that about 50%, of over 80 Annonaceous species screened, are significantly bioactive and are worthy of fractionation; thus, this class of compounds can be expected to continue to grow at an exponential rate in the future, provided that financial support for such research efforts can be found.
Researchers in Taiwan reported in 2003 that the main graviola acetogenin, annonacin, was highly toxic to ovarian, cervical, breast, bladder and skin cancer cell lines at very low dosages, saying "annonacin is a promising anti-cancer agent and worthy of further animal studies and, we would hope, clinical trials."23 An interesting in vivo study was published in March of 2002 by researchers in Japan, who were studying various acetogenins found in several species of plants. First they inoculated mice with lung cancer cells.

Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work

If used, Paw Paw should be taken between doses of Protocel with two to three hours between the Protocel and Paw Paw. graviola is similar to Paw Paw, but the potency levels are not standardized, so Paw Paw from Nature's Sunshine is preferred. These days, avoiding supplements that might interfere with Protocel can be difficult because we live in an age of nutritional supplementation, and many people who seek alternative approaches for cancer want to be able to supplement with as much as they can get their hands on. But this can seriously backfire for people using Protocel.

Superfoods like spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, and nutritional supplements like Amazon herbs, cat's claw (Una de Gato), graviola, or even more traditional herbs like green tea and licorice root. Garlic is also an amazing cancer busting food, not to mention onions, ginger and cauliflower. The harder researchers look, the more they're going to to find the answers right in front of them: inside our own bodies.
