The Sour Sop ( annona muricata) or the fruit from the soursop tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer. Why are we not aware of this? It's because some big corporation wants to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale. So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him/her know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is rather pleasant, its completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant a soursop tree in your garden. The other parts of the tree are also useful.

This tree is called graviola in Brazil, guanabana in Spanish, soursop in English and mamphal in Hindi.  The fruit is oval shaped with soft, curved  spines covering the skin. The sweet-sour white pulp  can be eaten directly or be used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti- tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types. Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

• Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
• Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
• Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
• Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing..Extracts from the tree were shown to:

• Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
• The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
• What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the soursop tree have been extensively researched. So why haven't you heard anything about it? If soursop extract is as half as promising as it appears to be, why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients? The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health and for many, our very lives are controlled by money and power.

Mamphal or soursop juice is available in India now from Ecoremedies. The fruit itself is available from a few  fruit vendors and suppliers in south India. The saplings of mamphal are available from the herbal garden of Jabalpur Agricultural  University in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The tree grows well in most parts of India but cannot withstand freezing temperatures and hence cannot be grown in the mountains. In the plains it takes approximately four years to reach maturity and start fruiting. The tree is not a heavy bearer and only a few fruits appear on each tree. In coastal and humid areas the tree may bear fruits more abundantly.

An infusion made from the leaves of the soursop tree has been found to be useful in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension and insomnia. It can also be taken by cancer patients.
