Cancer Killer Nearly Forgotten
There was a story not so long ago about a natural cancer killer that had been hidden for years. In fact over 20 years. Once this secret had been revealed, it improved the chances of survival of cancer patients by many years.
It’s a tree that grows deep in the rain forest of the Amazon in South America. If your current M.D. will not take the time to look into it, then find a Naturopath or a Homeopath that will take the time to look into the information that you provide him from this article.
One thing that may be confusing is that the term/name Paw Paw will be used to describe graviola. When someone is talking about graviola and references Paw Paw they are most likely talking about the graviola from Brazil. This variety is considered stronger than graviola from other parts of the world. The reason for the difference is that non-Brazilian graviola has a single ring compound; the Brazilian variety of graviola has a double ring compound which make it (the Brazilian variety) the much more powerful graviola.
One must be aware that in Puerto Rico, paw paw has reference to the papaya fruit which has no relationship to the graviola.
We all need to look for the natural ways to prevent and cure cancer from a natural prospective.
Since the 1970’s, the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit seeds of the Amazonian Graviola tree have been studied in numerous laboratory tests and have shown remarkable result with this deadly disease, cancer.
A few years ago a pharmaceutical company started independent research on this tree and its extracts. Even though they proved that the compounds from the Graviola tree would and did cure cancer, they shelved the research. Why? Because the pharmaceutical company could not obtain an patent on their discovery.
They tried to duplicate the trees properties, but could never perfect the process. So they shut down the entire project, permanently. This goes to show that the pharmaceuticals are only interested in profit and not especially the well being of the public.
Almost ten years have passed before a natural-oriented researcher discovered the fantastic properties of the Graviola tree. This evidence was brought before the National Cancer Institute (NCI) which verified that the leaves and stems were effective in attacking and killing cancer cells.
To this day there as not been enough interest in the product for anyone in the medical field to conduct double-blind studies for its effectiveness. There was one study conducted by the Catholic University of South Korea that revealed that the extracts from the Graviola tree showed comparable results to chemotherapy.
In further research it was found that the extracts of the Graviola selectively seeks out and kills cancer cells.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you and a doctor should look into the treatment options provided by the Graviola extract.
Now the graviola is know by many names, for instance: Cherimoya, guanabana, soursop, brazilian paw paw and probably a couple that I have not heard of as yet.
The graviola has been publicized in recent years as a successful treatment for cancer, but it is not only helpful for cancer. It has been used to treat: herpes, infections and parasites.
Graviola extracts have also been shown to be effective against the growth of Adriamycin resistant human mammary adenocarcinoma (MCF-7/Adr) by blocking the cancer cell’s access to ATP and by inhibiting the actions of plasma membrane glycoprotein.
When this happens the energy at the cell level drops to a critical level the cell falls apart. The residual pieces of the dead cancer cell are called lysing. Cancer cells group together and a large amount of lysing cannot be destroyed by the surrounding cells. Lung and brain cancer patients are especially at risk for obvious reasons.

Cancer Patient Survivor’s Nutrition Secrets
Cancer slowly seems to be eating away at our population. It is if everyone either knows someone who has passed from cancer or know someone who currently has cancer.
The worst part about it is that cancer is very debilitating and those that do die from it pass slowly and often painfully. However, some others are able to beat cancer naturally without having to undergo painful radiation therapy.
Most of the patients who are able to beat cancer are able to do so by eating the right organic, healthy diet, which brings their body back to a natural alkaline state. They also use the juice from these fruits and vegetables to cleanse their bodies. Cancer and disease can only thrive in an acidic body, or a body full of harmful toxins.
What is Acidic and alkaline? Think of it this way, a swamp (which is home to bugs, reptiles, dirty, muggy water) is an acidic environment, while a field of flowers (hosting bees and butterflies) is an alkaline environment.
Your body can become acidic for many reasons, and actually most people’s bodies are acidic because they don’t live a healthy lifestyle. Chemicals, processed food, food choices, poor air quality, and your environment all play a role in making your body acidic.
You can test yourself with acid/alkaline ph strips you can find at your local health food store. They are inexpensive and easy to use. If you would like more information on this or have any question regarding the topic of this article consult a doctor who practices natural, or eastern medicine.
How To Eat To Get Your Body Alkaline
It is important to note, however, that some cancer patients, who are very sick, or are far along with their illness should consult their doctor about what they should eat for nutrition. Sometimes being extremely sick with cancer or other illnesses can cause your body to react poorly to certain foods, even if they are healthy for you normally.
How Do Fruits and Vegetables Fend Off Cancer?
Organic fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, which help fight off the cancer cells and make your body alkaline. Making fresh juice from organic fruit and vegetables can be even better because they are concentrated and your body can absorb them faster. Try watermelon juice, it is very cleansing and tastes great.
Fruits that are purple or dark colored are especially recommended for a cancer patient’s nutrition. Dark colored fruits contain more antioxidants. To get the maximum nutrition, you may juice up different types of fruits and vegetables to create a single concoction. Some of these fruit and vegetable juices may taste good, others not so much, but you are drinking these juices to save your life, not make your taste buds happy.
Moreover, a fiber rich diet may also help the body fight off the free radicals in its system, therefore you may want to consider taking a fiber supplement if you are a cancer patient. Also you need to stay away from sugar. This is one of the most acidic things you can put into your body and will increase any amount of pain you are having as a result of the cancer. Obviously, don’t drink alcohol or smoke if you are a cancer patient.
Aside from giving a cancer patient the right nutrition, you also need to give a cancer patient plenty of liquids. A well hydrated body is better able to cope with the stress of being sick so make sure a patient drinks plenty of water. I would suggest a gallon of water a day (but not all at once) because it will help flush out your body and keep you as hydrated as you need to be.
If you have cancer and are sick and tired of being sick and tired from chemotherapy hopefully you can try some of the above recommendations to make your body alkaline and hopefully rid your body of the cancer. Just make sure that you do this with the supervision and guidance of some type of natural health doctor or expert.
And finally, think positively about beating cancer. The mind is a very powerful tool, but it can make you or break you. There are patients who claim to have gotten rid of cancer only from truly believing that they were going to get better and staying in a joyous, positive frame of mind.

A Cancer Survivor Story: Believe In Yourself
You are much tougher than you think;period! When faced with prospect of chemo and radiation many of you will think:”I just don’t know if I can do it. I have heard such horror stories”. The human spirit will rise to the challenge. I have seen this with myself, time and time again, as well as with many cancer patients. You truly don’t know what you can and can’t do. Watch and see!
When you are in the middle of treatment and it feels like you can not go one more step, that’s when you reach out to your Creator and He or She will come. A theme I talk about with many clients: If you come just a little ways, God will come the rest of the way. A cancer journey is an opportunity to find God or deepen your faith. That’s one of the gifts that you receive with this challenge. Your faith will never be the same as it was before and you will be much closer to God for the rest of your life.
When you are diagnosed you can easily fall into the hole of “why me”. But don’t let it last too long, pick yourself up off the canvas. You have one more round in you. I know it! The “why me” frame of mind will only make the journey more difficult. Look for the gift no matter how small. That gift will take you up a few floors and out the basement of despair. That higher view will let you see the big picture; it will let you get more perspective. You will have many decisions to make and you always want to make them from a place of calm, not one of panic.
If you get into a low mood, wait till it shifts. I promise you it will! When you feel better, then and only then take a look at your treatment choices or any decision you are faced with this on the journey.
Sometimes illness is way your spirit is trying to get your attention. So pay attention, my friends! Listen and listen more to what your spirit is trying tell you. There is a message waiting but it might be one you don’t want to hear! Does it take courage to listen? Yes, but remember you are naturally courageous! I will say it again: you have courage!
Ask the question: “What is this gift in this?” The answer is the first step to healing. I promise you the answer is inside of you. Let your wisdom offer it to you!

Cancer of the Penis the Facts, Signs, Symptoms and Diagnosis
Cancer of the penis is quite rare. Cancer is a big worry for many people though. It is estimated now that at least 300,000 people a year are now diagnosed with every year in the UK. The most common forms of cancer are breast, lung, colon and prostate cancer. Cancer of the penis is much rarer.
In Britain around 400 men a year are diagnosed with cancer of the penis and it mostly affects men who are 60 of age or older. It is more common in South East Asia and Africa.
Causes
The research into penis cancer is not very advanced and not much is known about it. Cancer of the penis is believed to be related to general hygiene and is found to be less common in men who have been circumcised. The reason being that men who haven’t had their foreskin removed will find it much harder to pull back their foreskin to clean thoroughly underneath. The human papilloma virus human (HPV) that causes penile warts also increases the risk of cancer of the penis.
Cancer of the penis is not hereditary and so other members of the family are not likely to develop it. Cancer of the penis is not contagious either.
It is vital to keep a check on penis health because some skin conditions can develop into cancer if left unchecked and untreated. Please check for white patches, red scaly patches and red moist patches of skin on your penis.
Signs and symptoms
The first signs penile cancer is most likely to be changes in the color and thickness of the skin of the penis. This may then lead to symptoms including growth or sores on the penis which will be most likely around the head the penis or on the shaft. This may lead to discharge or bleeding. Most penile cancers are painless.
It is vital as with most cancers to have an early diagnosis and therefore gain treatment quickly to bring about a positive outcome. Cancers can sometimes appear as flat growths that are blue-brownish in colour, or as a red rash, or small crusty bumps. It is vital to pull back the foreskin regularly to check because often it is the only time these symptoms are visible.
At this point that we must say that other illnesses than cancer can bring about these conditions however if you have any of these symptoms please visit you doctor or health specialist straight away.
Diagnosis
If you go to your doctor with any suspicious symptoms your doctor will examine you then if feel it is prudent will refer you to a hospital specialist for advice and treatment.
The specialist will examine the whole of the penis and the lymph nodes in your groin. If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes they may be enlarged. To make a firm diagnosis, the doctor will take a sample of tissue (a biopsy) from any sore or abnormal areas on the penis. This will usually be done under a local anaesthetic so that the area is numb. The biopsies will be examined under a microscope.
If the biopsy comes back positive for cancer then to assess the seriousness most doctors will do more test to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread into the body.
Cancer is spread through either the blood of through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of he body’s defence against infection and disease. It works as a network of lymph glands linked by fine ducts containing lymph fluid. Tests are done to see how best to treat a patient.
Other tests include:-
Chest x-ray
A chest x-ray is usually done to check whether or not the cancer has spread to the lungs.
CT (computerized tomography) Scan
A CT scan is a specialized type of x-ray. A series of pictures is taken and fed into a computer to build up a detailed picture of the inside of the body. The scan can show whether or not the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. It is painless and takes 10 to 30 minutes.
Lymph node biopsy
If you have any enlarged lymph nodes in the groin, your doctor may put a needle into the node to get a sample of cells. This is to see whether or not the enlargement is due to cancer. Enlarged lymph nodes are often due to infection and not cancer, so your doctor may also give you a course of antibiotics to see whether or not the swollen nodes shrink.
Once you have been diagnosed then doctors can go about treating the problem. The earlier the prognosis the more chance of survival if you feel you may have penile cancer then please visit you doctor. You are not being silly.
