Graviola is a small, upright tree with dark green and glossy leaves. It is indigenous to most of the warmest tropical areas in South and North America, including the Amazon. Common names include: Soursop, graviola, Brazillian paw paw, corossolier, guanabana, and guavavana toga. Paw paws are indigenous to eastern North America(especially southern Ohio and Kentucky) Native Americans used the fruits as food and the bark for medicine and fish nets. I live in Cleveland, Ohio and I just planted two paw paw trees taken from Bellbrook, Ohio. Curiously, I heard Ben and Jerry's icecream may be interested in making a paw paw icecream. A Dr. McLaughlin has done alot of research on the paw paw twig and cancer. Annonaceous acetogens from paw paw may be good chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. These compounds inhibit cellular production of ATP, which is the major souse of energy for cells. My son, took paw paw(from Nature Sunshine's) for a few months before he underwent a bone marrow transplant for a rare leukemia called JMML. He is doing very well today and continues on natural medicine twice a day to hopefully prevent a relapse . Nature Sunshine also puts paw paw in their parasite cleanse. I would not recommend continuing on paw paw for very long periods of time because I did read an article in Pubmed that stated some people have experience Parkinson like symptoms and could potentially cause some neuronal dysfuction with long-term use.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I made my husband take it when he had an elevated PSA. Graviola with Pau d arco and saw palmetto, and moringa oleifera tea with turmeric and cayenne. His PSA went down between 1-1.5 points every month until the doctor told him to stop all of that and then switched him to his own herb formulas which i think were helpful also. I am very interested on the outcome of your test Cheryl, are you also testing your ATP or COQ10 level? Some say above are lowered or disabled by Graviola. I myself took graviola for a long long time, but i brewed fresh leaves as it was readily available when i was in the Philippines. Now i have dried leaves of it as tea. I drink it once in a while.
