TIP: The soursop fruit, also known as graviola (Portuguese) guanábana
(Spanish), or corossol (French) is a large, green fruit with a dull
spiked surface, found mainly in tropical regions. It comes from a small
evergreen tree with dark green leaves.
Over three decades ago,
in 1976, the National Cancer Institute performed a study on the soursop
fruit which demonstrated amazing cancer-fighting potential. Results of
this research showed that soursop was quite effective at attacking and
destroying the malignant cells. As a matter of fact, soursop was found
to be “selectively toxic” to colon cancer cells and was also calculated
to be 10,000 times more potent than Adriamycin chemotherapy (also known
as doxorubicin). Adriamycin is oftentimes called “red devil” due to its
deep red color and terrible side effects, which include life-threatening
(sometimes fatal) damage to the cardiovascular system. Even though
Adriamycin is NOT selectively toxic t
o cancer cells (i.e. it kills ALL cells – even healthy cells), it has been a first choice of chemo for over 50 years.
Soursop contains a unique set of chemicals called “annonaceous
acetogenins” (produced in the bark, leaf, and seeds) display tremendous
anti-tumor potential and are selectively toxic against various types of
cancer cells and cause no harm to regular healthy cells. These
acetogenins have also been documented to be anti-parasitic and
anti-microbial. Three separate studies have shown that these acetogenins
are superb inhibitors of enzyme processes 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.
In 2011, researchers found
that graviola fruit extract (GFE) suppressed so-called oncogene (or
cancer-causing gene) expression in breast cancer. The oncogene known as
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly over-expressed in
breast cancer, and therefore an ideal target for therapy.
