What is Graviola?
Graviola is the Portuguese name for a fruit tree that grows throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico. Its Latin name is Annona muricata, and because of its wide distribution, it has dozens of others, graviola, soursop, and Brazilian paw-paw being among the most common. In recent years, graviola extract has become widely available as a supplement.
different ancient uses: in Brazil (analgesic, antirheumatic and antifebrile). In Haiti (asthenia, flu and antispasmodic). Mexico (branquial and diarrhea). Panama (dyspepsia and allergies). Venezuela (Liver disease). Malaysia (rheumatic and dermatological).
All parts of the Graviola tree are used in natural medicine in the tropics, including bark, roots, fruit, and fruit seeds. The various features and applications are attributed to various parts of the tree. Generally, fruit and fruit juice taken for the cure of worms and parasites, to cool fevers, to increase milk after birth, and as an astringent for diarrhea and dysentery. The crushed seeds are used against parasites internal and external, head lice, and worms, the roots are considered sedative, antispasmodic and hypotensive.

Benefits of taking Graviola Extract supplements:
cancer
Contains powerful active anticancer
ingredients or cytostatic and Acetogenins that Graviola leaf contain.
Comparative studies were done in vitro by comparing the effect with adriamycin
(known chemotherapy). It was found that is 10,000 times more powerful, and that
kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells as with chemotherapy
(chemotherapy causes nausea, weight loss and hair), protecting and improving
the Immune system.
In 1976 Dr. Jerry Mc Laughlin IE from
Purdue University found the acetogenins of the ANONACEA GRAVIOLA, powerful
anticarcinogenics. Researches continued in the National Cancer Institute
verifying its effectiveness in OF COLON CANCER and PROSTATE. The National
Health Center also uses it for other type of cancers (stomach, kidneys and
breasts). The Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Catholic University of Korea
performed comparative studies with adriamycin (chemotherapy) in the treatment
of lung cancer.
Perhaps one of the most important
discoveries related to cancer is that of the parasites. All cancer patients are
infected with parasites. Parasites (the same that give our dogs and cats)
create both toxic within the body, with their droppings and urine, which the body
simply is not any defense against cancer and succumbed to the attack of the
cancer cells.
This discovery was made by Dr. Hulda Clark,
whose book "The Cure for All Cancers" (The Cure For all cancers) has
sold millions of copies. There are hundreds of people who give testament to the
success of herbal treatment by Dr. Clark where they have completely stopped
progress of cancer in their bodies with this treatment.
It is for this reason the importance of the Graviola extract against cancer dewormer properties.
Parkinson
Atypical parkinsonism in Guadeloupe: a
common risk factor for two closely related phenotypes?
Brain. 2007 Mar;130(Pt 3):816-27. Epub 2007
Feb 15. Department of Neurology, Hospital of Pointe-Pitre, Guadeloupe, F.W.I.
In Guadeloupe, there is an abnormally high
frequency of atypical parkinsonism. Only one-third of the patients that develop
parkinsonian symptoms were reported to present the classical features of
idiopathic Parkinson disease and one-third a syndrome resembling progressive
supranuclear palsy (PSP). The others were unclassifiable, according to
established criteria. We carried out a cross-sectional study of 160
parkinsonian patients to define more precisely the clinical phenotypes of the
PSP-like syndrome and the parkinsonism that was considered unclassifiable in
comparison with previously known disorders; define the neuropsychological and
brain imaging features of these patients; (iii) evaluate to what extent a
candidate aetiological factor, the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor annonacin
contained in the fruit and leaves of the tropical plant Annona muricata
(soursop) plays a role in the neurological syndrome. Neuropsychological tests
and MRI were used to classify the patients into those with Parkinson's disease
(31%), Guadeloupean PSP-like syndrome (32%), Guadeloupean parkinsonism-dementia
complex (PDC, 31%) and other parkinsonism-related disorders (6%). Consumption
of soursop was significantly greater in both PSP-like and PDC patients than in
controls and Parkinson's disease patients. In conclusion, atypical Guadeloupean
parkinsonism comprises two forms of parkinsonism and dementia that differ
clinically by the presence of oculomotor signs, but have similar cognitive
profiles and neuroimaging features, suggesting that they may constitute a single
disease entity, and both were similarly exposed to annonaceous neurotoxins,
notably annonacin.
Anti-microbico
Graviola has been found to help promote healthy growth of cells, while treating bacterial infections both internally and externally. It has also proven effective against fungal infections as well as helping to kill and dispel worms and intestinal parasites.

Effect of the extract of Annona muricata ( graviola extract ) and Petunia
nyctaginiflora on Herpes simplex virus.
J Ethnopharmacol. 1998 May;61(1):81-3.
Annona muricata (graviola) and Petunia
nyctaginiflora (Solanaceae) were screened for their activity against Herpes
simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and clinical isolate (obtained from the human keratitis
lesion). We have looked at the ability of extract(s) to inhibit the cytopathic
effect of HSV-1 on vero cells as indicative of anti-HSV-1 potential. The
minimum inhibitory concentration of ethanolic extract of graviola and aqueous
extract of P. nyctaginiflora was found to be 1 mg/ml.
Graviola
Tea
Graviola leaves are often simmered in water
for a period of 20-30 minutes to make a graviola tea. Sometimes the graviola
roots and bark are added to the tea as well. The graviola tea is most
beneficial as a sedative, as well as calming nerves and as an antispasmodic.
Other health benefits of graviola tea also include helping to treat coughs and
flu-like symptoms, as well as various heart conditions and other ailments
mentioned above.
Side effects and safety of Graviola Extract
animal studies have shown that compounds within graviola may cause brain cell damage, and that consuming a great deal of it may contribute to Parkinson’s Disease. Because graviola extract can induce contractions of the uterus, pregnant women should not take it. One of graviola’s applications is as a relaxant; this effect can be harmful to those with preexisting low blood pressure, and the extract is also contraindicated for people taking medication to treat high blood pressure. Graviola extract may also interfere with the serotonin-uptake function of antidepressants.
Dosage of Graviola Extract supplement:
A typical dose would be 600 mg capsules taken a day.
