The lack of clinical double blind studies is because pharmaceutical companies usually cannot patent natural remedies so won't fund the studies.

All the money that is donated towards cancer research every year and still these studies don't get funded. It just goes to show you that these companies are in it for the money, and there is much more money in "treating" the disease then there is in curing it!

and is it dry or fresh leaves and barks?

Be wise with your health because others are being wise with your wealth!"

Do you trust the nature of God or will you be shouted down by the fears of greedy opportunists who have infiltrated and prostituted health and fitness issues? Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and listen to your inner person where God resides. "Experts" have proven to be lethal since they are constantly changing their conclusions about food and drugs.

In the end, your most important cure is whether you believe you have any control over your illness, and whether you intend to beat it.

If graviola helps you focus your innate healing abilities, the herb itself is not going to do much harm to you and is in fact likely to do good.

Disease: Herbal Cure in a simple way. Thanks.

I got rid of these spells. I got rid of asthma. I got rid of stomach ulcers and prostate problems and high blood pressure. I solved all of these problems with natural medicine. Cayenne for circulation, the heart and ulcers. It makes all natural medicines work better.

A girl from Peru said her uncle was close to death and he drank a tea from the inner bark of the pau d arco tree and it cured him of cancer. Stand up for your health and life, people in America.

The pharmaceutical companies, the FDA and American Medical Association all want to dope you up on some prescriptions that don't work, and with side effects. Since Adam and Eve, we have had natural medicine from God to cure us.

My mother and father drank it every day. He passed at 93, She at 96. Go figure. It is used for food, and as tea for urological problems such as bed wetting or frequency. My mother thought it worked on the kidneys in some way. Makes sense!

I know of someone who is end stage cancer with mets, who reports to be feeling much better since he started drinking the leaves and bark. Personally I would make my own decision regarding this. Which doctor do you think is going to tell you to to use this fruit?

They would lose their medical license. Do what you feel in your heart is best for you. My husband and brother used a natural substance when diagnosed with cancer and never used chemo and its going on 25 years now. The decision is yours -- it is your life after all.

Do not stop the drugs immediately. Take more natural, less unnatural and you will do better. Don't ask the doctor, ask yourself - what 'feels' right.

I grew up in a tropical country where we had graviola (sour-sop) almost every day in all forms eg. juice, ice cream or just sitting out relaxing and sucking on the fruit pulp and I have never seen or heard of anyone getting side effects from the fruit. Those stories are to scare people from using natural stuff so the synthetic will sell which may help and give other side effects so another synthetic thing will sell and so on and so on until...you know what.

People be wise, when God put fruits, herbs etc. on earth did he say ask the doctor before you eat it? He said eat so that you may *live.*

*Be wise with your health because others are being wise with your wealth!*

Soursop drink and soursop ice cream are favorites!!

Though I could not find specific reference to graviola and coumadin, I can give you some general advice on coumadin/warfarin and taking any kind of herbal, prescription or over the counter medication. Coumadin is one of those medications that almost ALWAYS needs to be checked when you plan to take anything else. Even slight modifications in your diet can change how much coumadin is absorbed. I would NOT take graviola until you clear this with a physician, preferably a cardiologist if you are on coumadin. Graviola should also be taken with care if you are using any medications for high blood pressure, since combined, hypertension meds and graviola could result in blood pressure that is too low. Some herbal formulas are great, but given the lack of clinical double blind studies on most, it is very important to talk to a doctor before beginning any of them, especially if you have other health conditions, are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, are intending to give herbs to children, or are on any medications.
