Fight Cancer with Graviola


Cancer is the leading cause of death around the world. The disease not only affects the patient but the whole families are affected by the psychological trauma associated with the very word “cancer”. Not only are the available treatments long and extremely painful, accompanied by excruciating side effects, they are not always successful. Those diagnosed with Cancer perceive it as a death sentence.

Graviola might be the miracle that can cure cancer and that too without introducing the patient to more treatment related suffering. For hundreds of years the Graviola Plant, basically native to the warm tropical areas has been used for medicinal purposes. The indigenous population uses it not just as a fruit but all parts of the plant including leaves, bark, roots, stem, fruit and even seeds are used as remedies for a variety of health problems. Recently scientists and researchers have focused their full attention to the plant after the discovery of Annonaceous Acetogenins present in the leaves and stem. Acetogenins are phytochemicals which possess strong anticancer and antitumor characteristics. The fact which makes them more valuable is that they do not affect the normal and healthy cells in any negative way but only target the enzymatic activities taking place in cancerous cells and inhibit them thus destroying the cancer cells. Some of these acetogenins are found to be thousands of time more potent than the currently available chemotherapy drugs and cause no side affects like nausea and hair loss. Also, in some cases after chemotherapy almost two percent cancer cells survive and they develop and immunity to all chemotherapy medication. These surviving cells then start acting like pumps and push out all anticancer medication causing the formation of cancerous tumor. Researches show that the acetogenins are able to target such pumps and shut them down by inhibiting the ATP flowing to these cells. Once the energy is cut of the cells eventually die. These acetogenins are known to show strong toxity towards breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and ovarian and cervical cancer. A group of researchers conducted a research on mice inoculated with lung cancer cells. The controlled group was given no drugs at all, one group was given the chemotherapy drugs and one group was given acetogenins from Graviola. After two weeks the results showed that 5 of 6 mice in the untreated group were alive. 3 out six mice died in the chemotherapy group with 54.6% reduction in tumor. The Graviola group showed promise. All the animals were alive with almost 57% reduction in tumor mass. Doctors around the world are trying to get to the point from where they can use Graviola in clinical trials. Mean while they do not hesitate to give their patients Graviola supplements along with the anticancer medication.

Graviola Max from Raintree is a very reliable Graviola supplement and is made from the purest Graviola Leaves and Stem. The supplement is made from two acetogenin rich species of the plant and promises to deliver the maximum types of these very helpful phytochemicals to the body. The recommended dosage of Graviola Max is 3-4 capsules per day or as recommended by the physician.

Anti-Tumor Properties of Graviola


All parts of the Graviola plant are used for different sorts of medicinal purposes. For centuries people have benefited from the Graviola plant. The leaves of Graviola plant are boiled to make tea for catarrh and liver problems. The crushed seeds of the Graviola fruit are very helpful in getting rid of bacteria and parasites. The root, bark and leaves are used to control diabetes and also as they have a sedative quality. Oil from the leaves and fruit of the plant is used externally to help rheumatism and arthritis. The plant is used in various ways to relieve cough, colds, flu, diarrhea, fever, difficult labor, hypertension and asthma.

Aside from its amazing properties that aid in relieving every day ailments that are not life threatening in nature, latest researches show that it possesses anticancer and antitumor properties also. A research carried out in Purdue University showed that the leaves, bark, stem and fruit seeds of the plant produce chemicals known as Annonaceous Acetogenins. Theses acetogenins are of various different strains and some of these strains are 1000s of times more potent than chemotherapy drugs and also work more effectively against cancerous cells without harming healthy cells. Graviola is known to have active cytotoxity against cancer cells and has powerful antitumor characteristics. The Annonaceous Acetogenins are very good and effective inhibitors of enzymatic activity that is carried out in tumor or cancerous cells hence they do no harm to normal healthy cells. Researches published by the Purdue University claimed that the acetogenins were very effective in killing tumors that showed resistance to the antitumor medication. A tumor cell needs more energy to run its functions than a normal and healthy cell. The acetogenins work in such a way that they block the ATP going to the tumor cell and eventually the cell is unable to sustain its functions and dies away. So far 14 different strains of acetogenins have shown remarkable ATP inhibiting characteristics that are specially effective in case of breast cancer. The researches conducted so far indicate that the acetogenins show a defined toxicity against tumor cells present in prostate adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, human lymphoma cell lines, human breast solid tumor lines, liver cancer cell lines and pancreatic carcinoma cell lines. Through out the last century researchers have worked hard to find out the effects and side effects Griviola might have on the cancer and tumor cells. It will take time to finally come up with a drug that will be able to fight tumors and cancers without putting the patient in more pain than he is already in, even though a specific drug is not available yet but Graviola supplements are recommended by Doctors.

As these miraculous properties of the plant gained attention and researches were conducted it was discovered that the plant produces a set of phytochemicals known as the Annonaceous Acetogenins. These chemicals have powerful anticancer and antitumor properties and are hailed as a miracle for cancer patients. The acetogenins show powerful cytotoxity towards various kinds of cancer cells and illuminate them. Researches prove that these chemicals are much more potent than the currently use chemotherapy drugs and do not harm healthy cells like the chemotherapy drugs do causing hair loss and extreme nausea.

When the miraculous qualities of plant were uncovered the, Raintree Company invested efforts to research about these properties and verify them along with other government and non government institutes. They prompted the indigenous population of Brazil to harvest the plant in huge areas.  The company soon formulated the supplement Graviola Max by blending the pulp of leaves and stem of the Graviola Plant. Due to its 100% purity and top quality the Graviola Max supplement is not only used by victims of cancer but for general health.
