Soursop :: A Natural Cancer Killer
Hey World!:)
I've been doing some research and i decided to share the information with you.
------------------------------
The fruit in the picture above is called Soursop, here in Jamaica. But is also known by various names in different languages such as graviola in Portuguese, durian belanda in Malay, babana in Indonesian, guanabana in Spanish, gayubano in Philippines, and pawpaw (not to confuse with papaya) in Brazilian.
Extracts from the miraculous Graviola tree are 10,000 times stronger than chemo.
The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells”.
Also extracts from the tree were shown to effectively target and kill malignant cells in TWELVE (12) types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
Various parts of the graviola tree– including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Other benefits include alleviating migraine headache, diarrhea, cough, back pain, stress, high blood pressure and nerve ailment. Suffering from insomnia? Try drinking this tea before going to sleep.
Make tea from the leaves and bark. You can either use fresh leaves or dried ones. As the leaves are very potent, you only need one or two leaves for one person. You only need to steep the leaves in boiling water, just like making ordinary tea. The strength of the tea depends on the number of leaves and the length of time the leaves are left in the water.
Soooooooo i guess it couldn’t hurt to drink some soursop juice then huh?
