Cancer and Tumours Beaten Using Traditional Herbal Remedies and Alternative Medicine. Fact or Fiction?

By Grahaam Maartin

Just what are the facts about alternative medicines and herbal products and do they actually work? That is the subject I am going to address. But the initial results seem to say an emphatic yes! Ask yourself the question. Are you frightened by the thought of getting cancer? Does the word "cancer" worry you? The word itself is very emotive isn't it? Well now it seems that there is some very good 'natural' help available to you, its called Graviola!

Traditionally, the large majority of medical practitioners and doctors (though not all), frown on the use of alternative or herbal remedies, often describing them as 'quack' or 'fringe' medicines, simply because they are outside the range of subjects taught in medical school. Even though some of these alternative or herbal remedies show tremendous potential and have been used successfully for generations by local shamans and practitioners.

Many of these alternative methods and herbal products have such a long history of use, that many professional studies and in-depth research has been carried out on them. One of those in particular "Annona Muricata", better known as Graviola is showing tremendously promising results.

Way back in 2001 The HSI organisation (Health Sciences Institute) featured an article with the headline "Billion-dollar Drug Company nearly squashes astounding research on natural cancer killer". It goes on to say. "Colon and breast cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon found to be 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy". Can you believe that! 10.000 times stronger and yet some greedy pharmaceutical company tried to squash it because they couldn't patent a plant! Disgusting! But enough about that. That tree was Graviola! OK, what exactly is Graviola?

Graviola is an indigenous to South America and some parts of the Amazon Rainforests It's not exactly big either growing only 5 to 6 metres high. But in regards to having cancer attacking properties, it's massive! Anyone interested in beating cancer should know more about this life saver.

Lots of research has already been completed. It's been found that a lot of the phytochemicals or annonaceous acetogenins (the chemical compounds that occur naturally in plants) found in the stem, leaves, and seeds of the Graviola tree are cytotoxic against many cancer cells and tumours. These plant parts are all used in herbal medicine.

This is the really good news because, quote:- (Cytotoxic: Toxic to cells, cell-toxic, cell-killing. Any agent or process that kills cells. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are forms of cytotoxic therapy.) according to the HSI article the tree has been studied in more than 20 laboratory tests since the'70s, where it's been shown to: Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung, and pancreatic cancer Be 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug . It Selectively hunts down and kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells, unlike chemotherapy.

A plant screening program back in'76 by the National Cancer Institute also demonstrated that Graviola showed active cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Many researchers who have been following up on this research have also found that Graviola was a cancer killing turbine. The use of herbal products worldwide has been there almost since the time when man first walked on the earth, well for a few thousands of years at least. So, If you or your loved ones suffer from cancer, then I would recommend that you read the HSI article in full here. It's mind blowing!

Graviola, could it help you in the fight against cancer? The answer it appears is yes it can!
