Hi Sonia, The soursop is a tropical fruit tree and without a temperature controlled greenhouse Id doubt you ever get it to fruit in Melbourne. Your best option would be to get your green grocer to get them in for you. Alternatively, you can sometime buy them canned or as a drink at an asian store.

Hope this helps,

The Footscray market sells them, some of the Asian grocers have the fruit for sale when they're in season. You might find them in Victoria St, Abbotsford as well but I've never seen them there.

I'm trying to grow a grafted plant bought from Daley's in a large pot .I'm located in Sydney and I've been told that it won't fruit in my climate but I'm going to give it a go anyway. It's looking really good at the moment and survived one Sydney winter already with some really hard work TLC.

They are very common here in Townsville

i never noticed them much but since i had a really good drink from the pulp, a cheesecake and icecream, im a big fan now!

they are a tidy erect tree 4-5 metres or sotaller than wide
they bear off the main and lateral branches (Cauliflory)

some fruits are bitter, the better eating ones are not
as usual i plant all my pips from especially good fruit

it seems to just love this monsoon tropical climate anyway
the trees i see are not cared for as fruit trees, they are just forgotten garden trees

Seeds can be crushed (or powdered if you've got the muscle) and used as an incecticide
by adding it to vege and other seeds when storing them.
An appropriate tech approach to prevent insects destroying your seeds.

Hi Sonia

sure i dont see why not
I tried the tea myself the other day from the leaf
its not bad, nice mouthfeel
better when i added in some Tulsi and ginger

They are pretty common trees, but mainly overhanging footpaths or what not, still plenty for the taking, ill ask the owners if they mind

how much do you need?
ill see what half a shopping bag fresh dries down to
i read 2g twice a day? something like that - on raintree.com

im of no doubt at all that it is the real deal. ive tasted the fruit off some

theres some reports of toxicity, but i believe thats from internal use of the seeds not the leaf. makes sense - plants love frugivores but are antagonistic to seed predators

I also have many seedling of this tree coming up from good quality fruits if people want to add it
just bookmark
www.tropicalfoodforest.com and check later under 'fruits'. maybe 3 months + though to get them hardened

Sonia - I really hope you can get something happening here - have u tried contacting Daleys directly? maybe they have some contacts or such. Your cause surely worthy.
Keep trying sonia - we have a devoted buying/selling paper called 'The Quokka' in WA. Maybe there is one for NSW/QLD - where these fruit grow - and u get a reliable contact?
Fingers crossed.

But also for those who is dealing with cancer, you can also consume the fruits as a dessert drinks (shakes) or cooked in soup)

the leaves is just double the portion of potency.

The local Asian grocery sells 35% soursop juice in a can for about $2.50, very refreshing as well as the added health benefits. I'm sure you could buy them by the pallet load for a good price.

Go easy on the soursop. There is a well described neurological syndrome associated with long term ,heavy ingestion. You can easily verify this .

Kert you must be in the medical field because you show a distinct negative response to everything that is not prescribed.
Sonia, while you are searching for soursop make sure your son gets turmeric, ginger,licorice root, asparagus, & Herb Robert leaves on a regular basis.
Keep him away from all chemicals & try to give him organics & pure water where possible' The natural anti-inflammatories that are present in the pericarp of the mangosteen fruit are known to assist in the shrinking of some tumors. Please go to the Public medical Directory www.pubmed.com & research all these botanicals mentioned. If you want more info re. the mangosteen juice let me know & I can put you onto a supplier in Melb. Good Luck!

I should have added a bit more to the previous message, such as we have been harvesting the leaves on farms around mareeba about every August as the Sour Sop drops all its leaves about then, I then dry the leaves in an old chest freezer with a 240v x 60w globe and when dry place into an Oscar and cut down to tea leaf size and then make tea at the same formula as tea leaves,have been doing this for years and so far considering that I am now 71 with no cancers and prostrate problems and we still have a drink and a smoke, and for those with Cancer Graviola I think is terrific, but for a quick kill I would suggest you look up intravenous Vitamin C for cancer and Hydrogen Peroxide for cancer.

Best wishes to all.

Hi all,

Looks like I am in the right place where I can find help in getting some fresh Graviola/ Soursop leaves for my Dad who has been recently diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer....I am desperately looking for someone to tell me where I can get them for him because it has been known to work wonders with respect to killing cancer cells....Growing the tree would not be an option because I am renting a unit in Sydney. I would be truly grateful if anyone of you could suggest something. Many thanks!!

Hi Poppy,

If you live near a Vietnamese/Chinese grocery store than you could try buying soursop powder in tea bag satchels .Just add water ,stir and drink.Also how many leaves do you need ? I have a small tree in a large pot which will loose it's leaves over winter so I cut the leaves off for you but there won't be that much .

Hi Miranda,
My tree is only two years old so no fruit yet but it's growing really well being almost 2 metres tall . I have it in a very large pot which I have to move into my garage through out winter as it's very frost sensitive. I was told that you can't grow this tree in Sydney and forget about getting it to fruit but I like trying to push the boundaries . I was told sapodilla can't be grown in Sydney but yet my two year old small tree is currently in fruit which is really exciting.

Yes, I lost a small Soursop tree (seedling) last winter but we also had the coldest day in 60 odd years here. I have since bought two more, one seedling and one grafted and planted them further up the hill, hopefully away from colder parts of the block. Here's hoping, fingers crossed.

Hi Michael and John Mc
I love the longan and lychee trees in that nursery. hope your soursop will fruit soon. Yes, I was told that sapodilla would not fruit in Sydney long before I bought my one. My sapodilla has been flowering all year round for five years, but I never seen any pollen or fruit, and flowers never fully open. There were a big bloom in Feb, but all flowers dried out and fell off the tree. I was so disappointed and decided to do something different: I spread some dolomite lime, super phosphate, sulphate of potash to the pot, and spray foliage with seasol every few days. Last week, It was a thrill to see a few fully open flowers with so many pollens inside. fingers crossed, they will develop into fruits.

Yes I'm just north of Sydney, on the Central Coast. There's a nice 4yo seedling Sapodilla tree fruiting very well not too far from me.
It inspired me to buy a couple of grafted trees, as well as the three young seedling trees I already have.
I just love the taste of the Sapodilla fruit.

Sapodilla should be able to be grown anywhere you can grow mango, so that puts it Sydney-Adelaide-Perth no problem, inner Melbourne is getting really close to being warm enough to grow that stuff now too, just a few more years worth of concrete maybe. I'll agree sapodilla is one of the few not so common sub tropical fruit that are actually worth eating, pretty good actually :)

my new order from daleys just arrived yesterday. 2 cherimoya and 1 sapodilla - sawo manila. Hope this sawo manila will set fruit much sooner than my five year old Prolific.
I love mountain soursop too, but can never find it in any nursery. This has been on my wishlist for a long long time.

Hey Michael,

Thank you so much for wanting to help. Since I would be needing at least 1 kg to send them over to my Dad who lives in US, I will try and order the semi-dried leaves from the contact which John Mc has mentioned. I am truly grateful for offering to help. May your tree grow really well....all the best for that.

Regards,
Poppy

I have heard loose talk in gardening circles about a single genuine excellent quality fibreless soursop tree is in someones garden.It is not that Cuban fibreless imposter either but the real deal.With a little luck I'll be able to get some seeds.

Samara, while you are chasing the graviola make sure that powdered turmeric & ginger are included in the diet 2 times a day!Hard to believe but a sprinkling really is nice on a bowl of cut up fruit. If you have access to fresh mangosteens & can process them skin & all (pericarp) you have another string to your cancer fighting bow! Asparagus in any form including tinned is known to have cancer fighting properties too! Best wishes!

David,not amazing,but I am plugged into a few friendly networks with work,sport,academia,conservation etc and people know to keep an eye out on my behalf.It seems there is rare stuff in people's back yards but they are not in touch with other plant folk.The might have got the plants online or have a freak seedling.When social octopi connect they can get good community penetration.That being said horticulturally inclined people moving in similar circles seem to have more variety of good fruits,herbs and vegies.

Mike and David, this site has become a good national community!

As to soursop for cancer; today I received an email about lemon for cancer. Sigh. I have an incurable cancer and other medical complications and everyday I receive good intentioned advice about all sorts of remedy. The thing is, if I start chasing all these cures I won't have time to live my life.

Yes, if soursop is a yummy thing and I have it at hand I would try it but lemons are looking more attractive as I already have two trees of them :)

Some say try ginger well I love ginger so I have decided to believe that lol but I won't drink raw liver pulverised in a blender if it makes me live forever. Anyway I don't want to live forever. :)

According to this link about health risk of soursop:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soursop

Research carried out in the Caribbean has suggested a connection between consumption of soursop and atypical forms of Parkinson's disease due to the very high concentration of annonacin.[4][5][6][7]

I think we just have to eat everything in moderation and take care MaryT and everyone.

Thanks Jujube for the warning about an overdose of soursop. I agree that moderation is the key.

This morning I ate a yellow cherry guava , a black genoa fig and dug up a great knob of young pink ginger (will stir fry with sliced beef - heaven).

Thanks Mike for providing more variety to my food garden and thanks David for your blessing. It's good to receive goodwill.

MaryT, Interesting stuff for you & everyone who have cancer affecting their lives ( & who doesnt?)on
www.turmericcancer.org/ + whats below!

Several breast tumor cell lines, "including hormone-dependent and -independent and multidrug-resistant (MDR) lines," respond to antiproliferative effects of curcumin. Aggarwal et al examined cell lines "including the MDR-positive ones," and found they were all "highly sensitive to curcumin. The growth inhibitory effect of curcumin was time- and dose-dependent.... Overall our results suggest that curcumin is a potent antiproliferative agent for breast tumor cells and may have potential as an anticancer agent." (Anticancer Drugs. 1997 Jun;8(5):470-81). Other laboratories offer varying explanations but confirm the activity level of curcumin against breast , prostate and other cancers. See e.g., Ramachandran C, 1999; Hidaka H, Japan, 2002(Miami human pancreatic cells lines); Elattar TM, University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2000(oral cancer cell-line).

Mary T I am loaded with the strong tumeric and the Curcuma xanthorhiza if you want lots of it.The golden tumeric is not as goodI think.

I have been out in the garden harvesting today and have a good assortment.I am trying to crack the 1kg mark for a sugar apple and 1 or 2 have come close.

1kg for a Sugar apple? That's nice! Mine is overdue for mulching, it is growing famously and it and the Soursop are 3 x as leafy as any I've seen, but flowers are scant and fruit just isnt an option. :(

Would a 1kg fruit be a record, Mike? Is bigger better?

Yes, please. I am sending you a post bag for some Curcuma xanthorhiza; the bits you sent were planted and they're sprouting but I'd like some to use :) The extra strong turmeric is the slowest to grow, just showing green tips and not bursting forth. I will put in the parcel a couple of chillies from my neighbour's tree. A curiosity. She was given the tree but she's given it to me to care for.

No Mike; the mekong greens did not survive. Funny you should ask about one of the few that didn't. Also the papaya's gone. I think you forget how much you sent; my place is full of plants from you and I have not tried all the seeds yet. If you have seeds for that leafy perennial coriander I'd love some.

Mike, the orange chempedeks are cracking the soil now. Still waiting on the yellows, but they all looked alright when they went into the ICU. A bit dry, but their colours were alright. The Z4 abiu's from the earlier package are up, as are the Amber Jaks and everything else. The mangosteen looks happy too, so that's a huge relief!

Tahmina, I suggest that in the meantime you get as many antioxidants as you can to your father. Lots of green tea, turmeric tea, asparagus. ( fresh or tinned) cranesbill ( wild geranium) tea, & see if you can locate mangosteen juice which contains strongest natural anti-inflammatories. Xango is the best with lots of distributors in UK.( any probs tell me!) Meanwhile I just found graviola is available in tablet form from RAINTREE GRAVIOLA which appears to be in Aust. although imported from USA. ( Its 100% soursop). Best wishes!

denise says...
The extent of the law as I understand it is that a non-medically qualified person cannot prescribe chemical preparations and/ or claim to be a certain cure and/or extract money for the services. People who have seen great results feel duty bound to offer a way with minimal risk and great hope to others that may come across their path. Many have witnessed people suffering from side-effects of medications and seen it releived by eating certain natural foods etc. I personally was told by a doctor and nurse that my medicine had caused severe damage to my kydneys and that there was nothing they could do for it. After some natural remedies the symptoms had reveresed and I have had good kidneys ever since. My friend has doctors coming to him for natural remedies for their family as they are reluctant to see the side effects in their family.

sg is not 'treating' anyone, just passing on information. He is not being paid, so I can't see how the law applies.
The study (in the link) is from a site that is freely available to anyone, and run by a doctor, who doesn't charge for the information.

Kim, thank you for introducing it! I read with interest the reports on Callisia fragrans & apart from it being a very attractive foliaged plant it obviously has many medical uses. Some Vietnamese people swear by it. To fight the big fight (or to avoid it completely) I would say add
this plant & its properties to your arsenal! Next question is will it grow in Southern states even in a basket??

just picked up a mountain soursop. They smell fantastic ripening. Like some sort of perfect pear nectar/cider. They smell is certainly tempting, but ultimately deceiving. I'll sit it on top of the fridge for a few more hours, then go at it for some seeds.

John - if you don't like what's being shared on this forum, i suggest you find another website to haunt? from what i see, most of use only have the best of intentions and are only trying to help to the best of our abilities.

Oh... i've only just noticed the "delete" option at the end of a post - maybe daley's can change it so that only the person posting or the moderator should have this option? just a suggestion....

I have questioned the delete button before, but nothing done about it. This is the only forum I have visited that enables people to delete other's posts, and I don't think it is a good feature.

Seems John/kert likes to air his opinions, but doesn't believe anyone else should.

I wouldn't think Daley's would have a problem with it, especially as a very quick look at their soursop page notes 'The leaves of the soursop are said to have many medicinal qualities see http://www.graviola.org/ '

Perhaps john should take up the good fight with the higher powers?

Phil, to be honest the Mountain Soursop isnt that bad. It isnt rich and creamy like the regular one. Kinda dry, but has a subtle pear cider taste. Smell is great though and it is easy care and cold tolerant. Not many seeds. Seem to crop more heavily than most regular soursop. I can imagine a few people would like them, but with room for only one, I can only grow the seedless regular one.

k - I have a "Cuban fibreless" variety of soursop, it sailed through a frosty winter last year (deciduous) and looks better than ever, it's only about four feet tall tho.. I think it is an improved selection.

Mountain Soursop I know of have smaller spines than usual. They go quite yellow when ripe. Heavy perfume. Size is around that of a normal soursop, but dont seem to get the occasional really big fruit.

The safest thing we can all do here is to simply direct people to where they can find what they are looking for...?

Daleys is likely skating on thin ice themselves...they provide this Forum...and therefore they are responsible for it....even if they would like to abrogate their responsibilities - it doesn't quite work that way these days...

Mike my sicana didn't make it through last winter unfortunately.. it was covered in male and female flowers but it was towards the end of the growing season and they never developed. I had to show the remains of the vine to Jantina when she visited, she kindly gave me the seeds in the first place. They're not on the AQIS approved list so will have difficulty getting it again. :-(

Mike it is very generous of you to offer. I probably don't have anything you already don't have - I guess you only grow edibles. I have seed in of Chrysophyllum imperiale, an almost extinct majestical tree from Rio de Janiero if you're interested.. also from a kind forum member. But am always happy to receive a parcel, can send you an express bag if you like so it's prepaid postage.

Phil,I didn't follow through in sending to all those who I should have and then let it slip.Jantina with the pineapple tops is another for whom I did not come up with the goods.If I round up an assortment of fruit seeds,herbs,tubers etc that are suitable for your neck of thge woods will that do? Don't worry about bags as I am the king of bags at the moment.

Great Mike, I'm going to Melbourne until April 12th so if you can wait a couple of weeks so they're not sitting around here that'd be a bonus. Have had some super surprise packages from the folks on this site, always happy to reciprocate if I can. As for the sicana, I have a friend in the US who may be able to get me some seed.. maybe he could label it as something else to get it through the mail

Hi klokanovic, Like David said, you can keep it alive and even fruit it. It will be a challenge and it is largely about the amount of trouble and expense you are willing to go to. A sheltered structure and a well draining soil will keep it growing. To fruit it you may need artificial heat / humidity, at least in the colder months. Reading the links of SG and others, You may be satisfied just growing the tree for its leaves. Good luck

No package has arrived yet Mary and thanks to you and David for the kind words.I am with Amused on the soursop question, but think it won't ever produce a fruit in Melbourne.It might make a nice indoor plant but it may be stretched beyond its comfort zone too far.The cost/benefit ratio might take it into the red with trying to keep it going.

Saw an episode of Gard Aust, some 6mnths ago told the story of a retired couple living in melbourne,specialised in growing cut flowers, now retired the family turned one greenhouse into a tropical greenhouse that the mother grew mango starfruit pawpaw etc so it can be done , even showed small mangoes growing on the branches, (no anthracnose there i think), so like mike said ,time and effort

I saw that episode too David. I was as surprised as you to see them growing. It was in a commercial flower farm under glass, so there could have been artificial heating. I am/have been planning to build a reasonably large poly tunnel for the same reason. It's getting closer.

Mango is a different prospect completely . The heat of Melbourne suburbia will allow you to grow mango without difficulty. Once the tree is established it will fruit freely. The fruit will be generally smaller but of a MUCH better quality than that purchased from the supermarket.
To FRUIT a sowersop "may"... and I think will require artificial help.
previous posts suggest that a beneficial brew may be made from the leaves. I have no idea on this but if it benefits someone with cancer I believe that the tree will grow happily, if not fruiting, in a sheltered, protected position in Melbourne

Possibly Jason. I don't know. I would have thought by mid spring the danger of sub 10deg C temps in Melbourne would be past?. In any case flowering can be delayed by aborting the early flowers to avoid cool temps.

Yep. Daley's did a video on it a while back. Where temps get low or too rainy during flowering, blooms can be pruned back early to delay the fruit set a little. Look up their YouTube channel and it should be on there.

When taking natural remedies avoid experimenting beyond what is known. Because if you take the seeds of soursop you could get very sick or die. Stick to the leaves. and dont take herbal remedies if you dont need to as they can be quite powerful. As for putting up a polyhouse in Melbourne, I recently built 2 plastic tunnelhouses and found a huge difference in prices for the 25mm uPVC pressure pipe used for the hoops. Bunnings wanted $89 per 6m hoop, but some non standard 5.8 m hoop on trademe were only $17 each- probably cheap asian imports.

A question for anyone growing Soursop - how much soil moisture do they need/tolerate? In literature I've found answers almost contradictory - drier,sandy soil; moist but well drained; can tolerate brief flooding. Which is it, or is it very tolerant of all the above??? (I'm in the process of digging holes for spring planting, and would like to know what's beat.)

Soursop enthusiasts I have heard that there are 2 outstanding varieties in the soursop world.A carefully bred african variety from Uganda and the esteemed Whitman fibreless.The cuban fibreless is not fibreless at all and pretty ordinary.The whitman fibreless was imported to Oz in the 1970's and then disappeared.Its progeny has resurfaced in Cairns and I'm working on getting seeds.

Check wafflesatnoon.com In depth study seems to reveal that graviola is not as good as it appears in claims elsewhere and may kill brain cells and have other toxic properties. I think you should all search findings of the Asimina triloba, and also the papaya leaf. Papaya leaves have a general acceptance by pubmed.

I thank God for having sent me to this forum. We are a group of cultivators and we cultivate so many crops including fruits of which the Graviola fruit is part of what we cultivate. We have been seeling this fruit and trowing seeds without knowing the use. Now I think I will make great use of the fruit as I have studied much about. We presently have the seeds in bulk , young plants are also available and leaves too. Just contact me at my e-mail address if interested in buying any of the Graviola plants produce at : foumbotfarming@yahoo.com .
We will be ready to ship our product world wide to any location and we will offer you good prices,

Thanks.

They are pretty good Nick and ours in oz are nearly all cuban fibreless I believe which is an old standard and not fibreless.After hunting for whitmans fibreless I found I can get them in Cairns with effort but was also informed they are not actuially better than the standard and are shy fruiters.I now have a couple of tanzanian seedlings from an african breeding improvement program and a brazilian elite cultivar.Hopefully they will be better than the standard ones.

There are some claims regarding medicinal value - also some adverse effects. I think it best if you google for yourself, I can't/won't make any claims for you. I can send you some seeds only, I have no knowledge of anyone selling trees. I'll try and contact you later today.

Hi There
I am looking for Soursop leaves for my mum who is fighting lung cancer.
We have found the fruit but are looking for the leaves as with most people.

I am in melbourne, Australia.

The problem is, we want a reliable source. We want to know what we're receiving and we want to know that by receiving the leaves (importing them), we are not doing anything illegal.

Can someone please help? please email me at katcal135@gmail.com as I don't often visit this website!

Thanks in advance.

KatCal, the big news is that cannabis oil is far stronger than anything known for curing cancer, but Richard Nixon kept it a secret & banned all hemp products! We are hoping to turn all this around so people can access this oil in its pure state, cold pressed,organic & unheated!

Hello all,
There is history of cancer in my family, and I wish to grow some soursop to use as a prevention for myself and my beautiful girls. Does anyone have some seed which I could buy. I live in northern WA, so my climate should be ideal.

Have you always lived in WA, I would have thought most cancers wouldn't get going in a climate where you have a good chance at some decent vitamin d levels.

Soursops pretty much proven to induce Alzheimer's, I wouldnt not go near it as a preventative for anything. Maybe if you are already sick and desperate but not just for fun.

Slip slop slap surely caused more cancers than it ever saved. Odd how people jump into things with both feet when they have no idea the consequences. I guess we are still doing it now with other things we have no idea about yet...

Julie where I live _everyone_ has got d levels between 10 and 40. I've never heard of anyone doing higher than 40 when tested and you really need at least 100 to be sure you don't get a DNA shift on rapidly growing cells like those in the immune system. Really bad stuff having low levels like that.

Soursop tea is available in certain health stores so worth a google to locate one!
Meanwhile asparagus fresh,or tinned is reportedly curing many cancers. People puree & drink it 2 or 3 times a day. Again google it!

It's a tropical fruit Asim, you're very unlikely to be able to buy it in Sydney. I don't know if it will grow there - perhaps in the right conditions - then you can grow your own...you'll have fruit in few years time. Ask Daleys.

Why "desperate" for the fruit if I may ask?

Hi all.
After reading all on this forum looking for this plant, leaves and the fruit re cancer i still cannot find anywhere on the net where a person has cured them selves from this fruit.

Wouldn't you think if there was a cure out there the net would be flooded with this infomation from cured people?

MaryT says...
Thank you, Alan, for that perspective. I too have been meaning to say something about it but I know 'hope' is something people latch on to though often 'hope' proves to be the cruelest joke.

As someone living with cancers for most of her adult life, I have been presented with all sorts of 'cures'. People are well meaning especially when they hear that your cancer is incurable; they feel helpless so this is something they feel they can contribute to your recovery. Why not try it, they say. To me it's the same as my Christian friends who say why not BELIEVE; it may be true.

All I can say is I think I will have to give up a lot of living to be chasing cures. I have my way of living with cancer but the emphasis is on living. I thank all my friends who came up with all sorts of regimes and treatments but so far I've done well with none. MAYBE one of them actually helps but there are just too many frogs to kiss.

The only drugs I would take now is those my life depends on; i.e. I would die without. The only tests I would submit to is a blood test once a year; no invasive scans and radioactive and debilitating regimes. I have no wish to watch my cancer grow even if my doctors want to 'keep an eye on it'. I won't abuse my body further for their convenience. The doctors, as well as my friends, will have to accept my condition in good grace, until there is evidence of a new and effective cure. I won't have soursop or any other thing thrust on me; I'm too busy trying to make the best of my remaining time.

I should add, though, that I'm grateful for those things that took no effort and are even pleasurable to take: the gingers that Mike sent me, for example. Also someone gave me keffir grains to make a yoghurt drink that is delicious. I can't get enough of it - maybe because it is actually slightly alcoholic (1 - 2%). :) LOL

Hi Mary, I'm sorry to hear of your condition - I never knew.

I understand what you're saying, but just curious if you've heard of the Aloe Vera method? I'm not sure I really believe it or not, but there are a few people in perth completely convinced.

My late grandmother was diagnosed with a brain tumour about 8 years or so ago. She was given a matter of weeks, at the best a couple of months. My mum heard about the Aloe Vera method and administered the "treatment" to my grandmother. As it happened, she lived until her passing a few months ago from old age.

A little closer to home, my oldest sister was diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer (rare because she is a non-drinker/smoker and due to her young age) and it had gotten into her bloodstream. There was to be no hope nor treatment - the only thing the doctors could offer was to "ease her pain in the last few weeks her life". This was about seven years ago. Doctors still don't know how it is that she is "cured". Some people think its because of the Aloe Vera treatment - I still don't know what to think.

Hi Kim. Doctors have no right to 'give' you a week, a month or a number of years to live. It is obvious that your family have good cancer fighting genes and perhaps good lifestyle and diet. As for the Aloe Vera method, I have read of claims regarding its use. So far only anecdotes; maybe it's one of those things that works for some. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi Mary im so sorry to hear what you are going through, and i disagree with your words like just try and see as it may work.
Also thank you kim for your input.

I don't see the point in just trying anything and hopeing with out some backing and truth to products, example black salve for skin cancers on you tube.

Many prople with real stories on videos showing their progress and myself and whole family also use that product.

I will though find some very interesting news if i can find it re a man that was jailed in the us for curing himself twice over 20 years from serious cancer, even this was shown on the us news and he was jailed for advertizing what he said he used was a cure.

It seems no one is allowed to adverttize a cure for cancer.

It's 4.15am here in Queensland Australia now and i have to sleep though will find the us link to the man that the us news showed on tv how he cured himself twice within 20 years from serious cancer after the hospitals wrote him off.
Im not sure what im allowed to say on this forum though i will be careful of my words.

The us news seen here also in australia showed this story of him and his proof from the hospital that they had wrote him off after twice healing himself over a perioud of 15 to 20 years twice of incurable cancer.

If any one can find this story before i can please send me the links aswell as i work very long hours with limited hours for searching.

Brain, there is absolutely no point in consulting your doctor, as they know nothing about alternative remedies, and distrust them all.

If it's not a drug made by a pharmaceutical company, they don't want to know. I was completely relieved of arthritis pain using a natural remedy, and my doc wasn't interested.

I guess you could tell your doctor, but you won't get much support.

Jason says...
I'll just add something in here. If you are desperate for soursop leaves you can try the closely related cherimoya leaves. They will have the same compounds (it maybe less potent) but the tree will grow fine in Melbourne.

Also for those with cancers that aren't looking like having a good outcome you can try mebendazole. It's oddly (conspiracy theory??) no longer made in the US but you can still buy it in Australia over the counter via India as "Chemists Own, De worm". That's a win win situation as you can buy as much of it as you need and no Dr needs to be involved.

Now I have an impossibly rare ?incurable? benign disease myself and the cause is unknown...(I'm the only one with it in Australia) and it's so rare it took 7 years to confirm the diagnosis, quite a problem because it throws your immune system way out of whack but in any case despite not being malignant you get tumours and they grow.. The point is since no one really knows much about this my Dr and I have trialed a bulk load of herbs and non harsh drugs and mebendazole totally has a positive effect on the tumour. I've just not been willing to take the drug long term since after all it's not a malignant condition. But I would if the situation was more serious. There's been a few studies on mebendazole vs cancer and it for whatever reason has anti tumour effects. You can read one of them here http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/8/9/2963.full . It's a dirt cheap drug no longer under copyright so I doubt it'll ever be used on the front line against cancer.

Anyway if I had to entrust my life to something I'd choose that over soursop leaves, given the choice of only one. Not saying it's going to cure you but it may/might/should make the situation less bad.

You just want to check it's compatibility with other drugs you are on because it can react with some other drugs like Metronidazole badly... I've tried that too so I had a big space of time between them.

Thanks for that, Jason. Have you tried kefir grains and if so what is your experience with it? My friend who gave it to me said it's pro-biotic and good for the gut. I enjoy the yoghurt drink it makes so I went along with it (after all she delivered the thing personally). So far so good but I wonder if anyone has had adverse effects from long term use. Sorry to hi jack the soursop thread. Maybe this should be a new thread.

Mary I haven't tried Kefir. I have wanted to because those kinds of foods are strongly immune system modulating but you never know if it'll push you the right way or wrong way until you try. I have had really good success with home made yoghurt but again it only works for me with certain strains of bacteria and getting the same culture twice is crazy difficult. I'm lucky in that I have one obvious lymph node that's very reactive and totally relative to my wbc so I can easily see what works and what doesn't. Its accurate enough to predict a blood test within .2 just from looking at the tumour. I'm going to try and culture ripe mashed bananas soon because that's something I haven't tried and it maybe more stable. Sauerkraut generally gives me a good result if I make that at home.

Once I made some pro biotic drink from oat milk that I just left on the bench at low temps so I had no idea which culture it had in it and it dam near cured me but I was never able to culture it twice the same even though I saved some for a starter. Most of the problem was the drink I used to get the good one going was no longer sold...

Playing with your immune system with different bacteria is fairly leading edge immunology and there's lots of research about that at the moment but you know I'm just a crazy guy in my kitchen with limited cultures and not as very controlled environment so its a bit random in my case Lol.

If you look up hoax buster, they have a section on soursop. While the cancer information being circulated has come from a truthful study, it hasn't been tested on humans and there are noted side effects in some people and potential risks to having too much of the soursop in certain ways. It has a whole write up that I suggest reading before making any set decisions on feeding it to a child. I was after it for the same reasons and now I am going to be researching a little more before jumping into it :) hope it helps though.

Good on you for doing proper research on soursop first before going into it blindly, Feemitch.

Jason, I've only been on Kefir for a short time. I enjoy the drink and so far it has no bad effect on me but I can't say (yet) that I feel miraculously well from it :) It's become a kinda pet because it's alive and although I'm not talking to it I do care for it and feed it carefully. Maybe there is therapeutic effect in that ? LOL

I too have blood tests so time will tell whether it makes any difference.

Re: the good oat milk - surely you can contact the manufacturer for the culture?

Good luck.

Hi Brian yes this is the Jason that i remembering on tv here.
http://www.apricotsfromgod.info/jvale/
I just went to your link and see all the videos again though the most important videos that the news crew filmed in jail with him are grayed out and will not open here, they did show all his previous where he was written off from the hospital he was admitted to yet survived for many years, and again years latter and written off again yet he did survive again and looked healthy as in jail as said on tv with all this proof aswell of previous and recent hospital reports shown on tv.
I don't know what else to say givin all the dodgy things out there people do for money.

This is the only substance i have ever seen proof of via tv showing hospital documents of writing him off twice over many years and those tv links are dead here for some reason. ( if you can open them please let me know )
http://www.apricotsfromgod.info/jvale/
If i had been cured from a serious cancer i would wan't to tell the world and of course might be in trouble for advertizing such a thing though i would still do that to get the word out regardless, in australia i don't think is as harsh as the states though sure i would be in some trouble.

Givin all this above i cannot find anything more positive anywhere on the net other then black salve for skin cancers on youtube and every where that myself and my family all use and have for many years so i guess we all just have to read between the lines and accept if there is a cure out there no one is allowed to advertize a cure even if it did work.
If it did work this is very cruel specially to the people sufferers out there that only have a short time to live, of course there are many oppitunests out there that have no interest other then money yet i have to wonder why those videos have been blocked from opening on that link above from the tv stations themselves showing proof right back from previous years of being written off from uncurable cancer.

I wish all you good people in this forum looking for help the best of luck and hope my input has been of some help.

Alan From Australia.

Cancer 'research' is very big business. Imagine how many people would be out of a job is they found a cure? Doctors, oncologists, funding organisations etc.

I'm not even sure they are looking for a cure - most info relates to treatment.

I am not cynical by nature, quite the opposite, but in this case I am very wary.

I agree, Julie. The emphasis is on chargeable treatment, be it surgery/scan/drugs. Let's not prevent it from happening and let's not leave people to go in peace. Let's assault them with as much as their bank account can handle; it would be a bonus if they get a second cancer from treatment for the first one (as in my case). Anyway I'm saying adios for a month - off on a slow boat around PNG with my ukulele. Bird of Paradise here I come.

Hi Julie & MaryT, if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I probably would not believe it.
My wife noticed a small skin cancer (we thought, as it was black & raised up?), on her hand between her thumb and fore-finger. A mate arrived and said why not try the sap of the milk weed?
After he left, the wife tried it.
Next day it looked strange, so she applied some more milk weed sap. The next day, it was gone! Believe it or not!
I don't even know if it is Milk weed,(Mike would know), but that's what my mate called it.
The plant in pic 1 is a poor specimen, note the sap in pic 2.

Brendan I don't know what that plant is, but it's not the common milkweed used for treating warts etc. Google milkweed euphorbia (cancer weed, radium weed)images.

I have it everywhere in my garden - it takes over sometimes. It can burn the surrounding skin, so you have to be careful.

H Marama,

If you go to our website at www.jingajuice.com.au you can purchase from there. The leaves are twice as strong as the fruit and easier to prepare and manage.

We also have instructions on how to prepare the tea.

Hi Fifi - sorry, have only just seen your posting. Anyone who needs leaves can come visit at Strathpine to collect a bag. Give me a ring 0414 445 581. I see someone is advertising commercial products (yet to read all the postings) and they will no doubt post out.

You can buy commercial quantities from fruitlovers.com which is in Hawaii. They sell a wide range of fresh tropical fruit seeds. Something to interest everyone.
