So What is Graviola?

Graviola, also called Brazilian pawpaw, soursop, and guanaba, in addition to numerous other names, refers to a particular tree or its fruit. The fruit is green and heart shaped, and about six to eight inches (15.24-20.32 cm) in diameter. The tree is found in South America and on numerous tropical islands and grows best in rainforest climates.

Have you heard about the tropical fruit with amazing powers? Well, the graviola tree is a small, evergreen tree, that produces a large, heart-shaped fruit with many amazing natural curative properties. It grows indigenously in the Amazon region of Brazil as well as in other warm tropical areas of both South and North America. The graviola tree produces a heart-shaped, edible fruit that has a yellowish green outward appearance and a white fleshy interior.

The graviola cancer fighting properties have propelled this natural fruit to ever-increasing worldwide popularity as an alternative treatment to fighting one of the world's most deadly diseases. Graviola cancer treatments have been shown to have great benefits to those who suffer from the disease. Graviola products have been sold for many years to those suffering from a multitude of diseases and ailments. Available in both retail stores and also online, those who chose to buy graviola, will experience the amazing curative powers of this simple plant.

All parts of the fruit are useful in treating different health problems and are helpful in alleviating the pain and suffering brought on by those ailments. Documented use has shown that the leaf, seed, bark, fruit and root all contribute to the treatment of various health concerns and conditions.

The Leaf
Brazil has used the leaf for treating liver problems, arthritis, dysentary, intestinal colic, diarrhea, coughs, bronchitis abscesses and edema. In the Cook Islands, the leaf is used to treat different skin diseases. Ringworm has been successfully treated in Guatemala and Peru has been able to apply the graviola leaf to help with hypertension, internal ulcers and diabetes. Some of the other demonstrated uses in these and other countries include help with difficult child birth, as a tranquilizer, an anti-spasmodic and even to fight off malaria.

The Seed
Acting as an astringent, the seed and seed oil works as an effective insecticide, killing off skin parasites and lice.

The Bark
Guyana has used the bark of the fruit to make a tea that when ingested, acts as a sedative and has soothing properties for those with heart conditions. The tea is also used in Haiti as a cough suppressant and overall relaxant.

The Fruit
From the fruit, there are many uses that have proven very effective. In Jamaica and the West Indies, it has been shown to reduce fevers, get rid of parasites and stop the discomfort of diarrhea.

The Root
Peru is amongst the countries that have demonstrated the effective use of the root to help with diabetes, act as a sedative and also work as an anti-spasmodic agent.

Scientists have been studying the properties of this plant since the 1940s and have published numerous studies on their findings. Perhaps the 1976 plant screening program by the National Cancer Institute was most instrumental in increasing worldwide awareness of this wonder plant. The study showed that the plant's leaves and stem contained active cytotoxic (the ability to kill cells that are not functioning properly) effects against cancer cells without harming other cells. Studies have identified specific phytochemicals and acetogenins that are selectively toxic toward various cancer cells. The inhibition of further growth of cancer cells in lung, prostate, pancreatic, colon and liver cancer has been demonstrated over the years. Graviola treatments has not yet gained full acceptance by the medical community, but ongoing testing by researchers and pharmaceutical companies suggests that there is great promise with this plant.

The Rainforest - Keep her growing!

The Disappearing Rainforests

• We are losing Earth's greatest biological treasures just as we are beginning to appreciate their true value. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years.


• One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.


• Rainforests are being destroyed because the value of rainforest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by short-sighted governments, multi-national logging companies, and land owners.


• Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest deforestation.


• Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.


• Most rainforests are cleared by chainsaws, bulldozers and fires for its timber value and then are followed by farming and ranching operations, even by world giants like Mitsubishi Corporation, Georgia Pacific, Texaco and Unocal.


• There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.


• In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900's. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.


• Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.


• When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

The Wealth of the Rainforests

• The Amazon Rainforest covers over a billion acres, encompassing areas in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and the Eastern Andean region of Ecuador and Peru. If Amazonia were a country, it would be the ninth largest in the world.


• The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.


• More than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests. One-fifth of the world's fresh water is in the Amazon Basin.


• One hectare (2.47 acres) may contain over 750 types of trees and 1500 species of higher plants.


• At least 80% of the developed world's diet originated in the tropical rainforest. Its bountiful gifts to the world include fruits like avocados, coconuts, figs, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bananas, guavas, pineapples, mangos and tomatoes; vegetables including corn, potatoes, rice, winter squash and yams; spices like black pepper, cayenne, chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, sugar cane, tumeric, coffee and vanilla and nuts including Brazil nuts and cashews.

• At least 3000 fruits are found in the rainforests; of these only 200 are now in use in the Western World. The Indians of the rainforest use over 2,000.


• Rainforest plants are rich in secondary metabolites, particularly alkaloids. Biochemists believe alkaloids protect plants from disease and insect attacks. Many alkaloids from higher plants have proven to be of medicinal value and benefit.


• Currently, 121 prescription drugs currently sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. And while 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less than 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.


• The U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified 3000 plants that are active against cancer cells. 70% of these plants are found in the rainforest. Twenty-five percent of the active ingredients in today's cancer-fighting drugs come from organisms found only in the rainforest.


• Vincristine, extracted from the rainforest plant, periwinkle, is one of the world's most powerful anticancer drugs. It has dramatically increased the survival rate for acute childhood leukemia since its discovery.


• In 1983, there were no U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers involved in research programs to discover new drugs or cures from plants. Today, over 100 pharmaceutical companies and several branches of the US government, including giants like Merck and The National Cancer Institute, are engaged in plant research projects for possible drugs and cures for viruses, infections, cancer, and even AIDS.

Rainforest Action

• Experts agree that by leaving the rainforests intact and harvesting it's many nuts, fruits, oil-producing plants, and medicinal plants, the rainforest has more economic value than if they were cut down to make grazing land for cattle or for timber.


• The latest statistics show that rainforest land converted to cattle operations yields the land owner $60 per acre and if timber is harvested, the land is worth $400 per acre. However, if these renewable and sustainable resources are harvested, the land will yield the land owner $2,400 per acre.


• If managed properly, the rainforest can provide the world's need for these natural resources on a perpetual basis.


• Promoting the use of these sustainable and renewable sources could stop the destruction of the rainforests. By creating a new source of income harvesting the medicinal plants, fruits nuts, oil and other sustainable resources, the rainforests is be more valuable alive than cut and burned.


• Sufficient demand of sustainable and ecologically harvested rainforest products is necessary for preservation efforts to succeed. Purchasing sustainable rainforest products can effect positive change by creating a market for these products while supporting the native people's economy and provides the economic solution and alternative to cutting the forest just for the value of its timber.
