Graviola's Anti-Cancer Effects
Graviola contains chemicals called acetogenins, which are thought to be the active ingredient. Acetogenins and other secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, of this plant possess demonstrable ability to decrease the growth of cancer. (1)
One clinical case report describes a 66-year-old female diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and whose metastases had progressed after multiple rounds of chemotherapy (including anthracyclines and taxanes).
The patient self-medicated by boiling 10–12 dry leaves of A. muricata in water for 5–7 minutes, then orally consumed an 8 oz daily dose of this aqueous extract. Her metastases remained stable for 5 years on Graviola (which she took together with Xeloda).
