Guyabano fruit acknowledged as a miracle cure for cancer

(NaturalNews) The guyabano, or otherwise known as the custard apple or sour sop fruit, is
deemed as one of the miracle cures for cancer. There have been various websites and claims that
say that guyabano, from the tree, to its leaves, bark, and fruit, is capable of killing cancer cells
naturally. A research that was conducted back in 1976 says that one chemical found in guyabano
is about 10,000 times more powerful and potent than a drug used for chemotherapy called
Adriamycin. This is why the Department of Science and Technology of the Philippines
developed a supplement that is made from the guyabano fruit. Read on to find out more about
this plant called guyabano.

What is the guyabano?

The guyabano (Anona muricata) is a tree that grows about five to seven meters high. It bears a
pear-shaped fruit that is green in color and has soft spines. This tree is native to the Caribbean,
Central America, South America, and African countries in the sub-Saharan area. The tree is also
able to adapt to the tropical climate and could be found in most countries in Southeast Asia.
The matured fruit usually weighs about two to five kilograms and is ovoid in shape. The skin is
thin and it has a whitish pulp that is soft, fleshy, and fibrous. The taste is distinct, with a tangy
citrus taste. The fruits are harvested when they are mature, when the skin of the fruit is yellowish
or shiny green in color.

The benefits of taking guyabano

The guyabano has been found to possess a lot of medicinal properties that a lot of people would
definitely benefit from.
One article from 2008 in the African Journal of Traditional Complementary and Alternative
Medicine reported that a study done on diabetes-mellitus afflicted rats that were fed
with guyabano actually showed a significant lowering of their blood sugar levels. Separate
studies conducted also showed the ability of guyabano in reducing alleviation, fever, asthma,
arthritis, and skin infections. There are also studies that claim guyabano to be good for those who
are suffering from herpes simplex infections, liver problems, and even hypertension.

Guyabano and cancer

There have also been studies that showed that those who took guyabano extract had better
immune systems. The extract was shown to be helpful in targeting and killing cancer cells in
about 12 types of cancer, including prostate, colon, pancreatic, breast, and lung cancer. The
compounds in the extract have been proven to help in slowing down the growth of malignant
cells, even better than the strong and commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, Adriamycin.
When people undergo chemotherapy, all the body systems suffer alongside the malignant cells.
The guyabano extract's compound will selectively track and kill only the cancerous cells. The
healthy cells are left alone. There have been studies conducted since 1976 that indicate guyabano
is indeed a very good killer of cancer cells.
The claims still need to be backed by more studies, according to a lot of experts. There are a lot
of people claiming that they have benefited from the extract, but there are still no recorded
therapeutic claims from the use of guyabano extract.
Cancer is finally cured in Canada but Big Pharma has no interest.
Cancer
is finally cured in Canada but Big Pharma has no interest. The fact
that the international drug & medical industry have no interest is
because the cure is really cheaper than a chocolate bar and it won't get
them to gain any profits at all. Besides, if people had the cure so
easily, how will these medical companies make money out of that? in Canada.

According to the scientific literatures gathered by Gigi, researches have been undertaken to
uncover guyabanos anticancer effects, starting in 1976 when the National Cancer Institute in the
United States conducted the first study on the fruits supposed cancer fighting properties.
This was followed by 20 more laboratory tests conducted in various laboratories worldwide.
They all came out with unanimous results: Guyabano tree extracts, indeed, proved to be effective
against the growth of malignant cells in 12 cancer types. These include some of the deadliest
cancer forms which have taken the lives of many around the globe: pancreatic, colon, lung,
prostate and breast cancers.
According to the Catholic University of South Korea and Purdue University in Indiana, United
States, guyabano tree extracts acted in a way that prevented it from harming normal cells, while
successfully targeting the dangerous ones, unlike chemotherapy, which destroys all cells that
multiply. The findings of the Catholic University of South Korea were published in the Journal
of Natural Products.

But, it has to be emphasized that all of these trials were conducted in the laboratory only using
nonliving models, or what is called as in vitro experiments. Absolutely, no research in humans,
so far.
So, my advice israther than buying all these expensive commercialized extracts, juices and
capsules of guyabano, I think its a lot more enjoyable and economical to just buy the fruit, and
savor its delicious, citrusy white flesh. Personally, I would do that. Just like in my childhood.
