Recent
research has shown that the extract of the Graviola fruit, or also known as
soursop or guyabano, effectively destroys the malignant cells of 12 different
cancer types.
Apparently,
the extract of this miraculous fruit can kill the affected cells in the case of
lung, colon, liver, pancreatic, cervical, prostate, ovarian, and breast.
This
discovery may be of immense importance in the treatment of this deadly disease.
A
pathologist from the University of Nebraska found that this fruit has
incredible effects in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, as it dramatically
reduced the tumorigenicity and altered the metabolism of the tumor cells.
Also,
a lab study showed that the extract of this fruit is even 10 000 times more
powerful in destroying colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, which is a common
chemotherapy drug. Also, its great advantage is its ability to only destroys
the cancer cells, and not affect the healthy ones.
This
fruit has shown amazing results in the treatment of cervical cancer as well.
A
study has also shown that it stops the growth of the cancer cells, as the
dietary extract of this fruit triggered a dramatical growth inhibition of
MDA-MB-468 cells in vitro and in vivo studies through a mechanism that engages
the EGFR/ERK signaling pathway.
This
actually means that it may protect women from EGFR- over-expressing BC.
Yet,
its amazing properties do not stop here, as researchers found that Graviola can
provide positive effects in the treatment of other cancer types as well.
Its
miraculous effects have been attributed to the presence of acetogenins, which
are potent substances that can inhibit the NADH oxidase of the cancer cells
plasma membranes, and thus inhibit the growth of cancer.
Additionally,
this fruit also contains other beneficial substances, phytochemicals, including
asimilobine, quercetin, friedelin, kaempferol, anonaine, xylopine,
isolaureline, anomurine, and annonamine.
