Can graviola (soursop) cure cancer?

Graviola is a substance that comes from a tree in the rain forests of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Its scientific name is Annona muricata. It is also known as custard apple, cherimoya, guanabana, soursop and brazilian paw paw. In many countries, people use the bark, leaves, root, and fruits of this tree for traditional remedies. The active ingredient is thought to be a type of plant compound (phytochemical) called annonaceous acetogenins.

People in African and South American countries have used graviola to treat infections with viruses or parasites, rheumatism, arthritis, depression, and sickness. We know from research that some graviola extracts can help to treat these conditions.

In laboratory studies, graviola extracts can kill some types of liver and breast cancer cells that are resistant to particular chemotherapy drugs. But there haven’t been any large scale studies in humans. So we don't know yet whether it can work as a cancer treatment or not. Overall, there is no evidence to show that graviola works as a cure for cancer. Many sites on the internet advertise and promote graviola capsules as a cancer cure, but none of them are supported by any reputable scientific cancer organisations.

We don’t know much about how graviola affects the body. But some researchers are concerned that particular chemicals present in graviola may cause nerve changes and movement disorders when taken in large amounts. The nerve changes may cause symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. Laboratory research has found that some substances in graviola cause nerve damage and that these substances can cross into the brain from the bloodstream.

One research study has shown that people in the Caribbean who had large amounts of graviola in their diet were more likely to develop particular nerve changes and were also more likely to have hallucinations. It is unlikely that drinks or foods containing graviola could harm you when taken as part of a normal diet. But always talk to your doctor before taking any kind of complementary or alternative therapy.”

Toxicology expert raises alarm over potential neurotoxins in graviola/soursop

By Elaine Watson, 10-May-2012

A toxicology expert says he is shocked to see firms in the supplements trade developing products containing extracts from the tropical fruit graviola (also known as soursop or Annona muricata) given its association with atypical Parkinson's disease.

good info there sassy, i think it should be tested because everything that can cure cancer is worth testing .

By cure cancer you mean kill the cancer cells soon enough before killing non cancer cells that the body can recover afterwards.

The extract is - like other forms of chemotherapy - cytotoxic which means cell poison.

MEDICINE Men and Mountain Sharmans in their collective wisdom say that silly demented weasels that call themselves "Godis... blah, blah, blah.." (hereafter shortened to "GIBBB" !) and it's better_half VOD/MCL are nothing more than yet another undereducated and non-thinking couple of anti-science charlatans...

THAT must certainly be one mean whacky weed they doth indulge upon !!
The bullshit and attempted con-jobs never stop with you, do they  "GIBB"/"VOD"  ?     

By the by, custard apples are common over here; they often taste like crap ~ AND most relevantly, they have zero benefits in anything that the "Gah! Gah! gang" (GIBBS, VOD ~ and anybody silly enough to humour them further..) dribbles on about in here..
"GIBBB/Heavenly-father's" current situation and state_of_mind is proof positive of the dangers of leaving school early !!!    ::hdintowll::

i missed all that did the tests go well or not, only wondered..
