Soursop or Graviola is an evergreen tree found in South America in the Amazon river basin. The Graviola tree can grow up to 15-30 feet, but it is full with various nutrients. The fruit is delicious, with custard-like texture, and a striking “spiked lemon” like appearance. Amazon natives used Graviola leaves and bark to prepare tea, which was used for treating liver problems, arthritis and diabetes.
In today’s online networking there is some information about the strong anti-cancer properties of the soursop. According to a study by the Purdue University, this plant is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Soursop does not do any harm to the organism; it kills the destructive cancer cells, spares the healthy cells, and establishes normal body function.
According to certain government agencies, Graviola offers a variety of benefits for protecting and improving the body health. It is rich in vitamins and minerals and also in many nutrients which have healthy benefits on our body.

Graviola and Anti-Cancer Studies
It is important to mention that Graviola is still at the beginning of many different examinations and researches. According to the FDA, the studies are done on malignancy cells in test tubes and not in clinical trial. The biggest and most comprehensive study on the anti-cancer effects of Graviola comes from the Purdue University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In this study it was shown that Graviola mixed with pawpaw is a great combination for repressing the development of cancer cells, without damaging the healthy cells.
It is recommended to consult your doctor before you start using gradiola. But, we do believe that further studies will confirm the powerful anti-cancer potential of the soursop, and bring hope to people who suffer from this 21 century plaque.
