HappyEarth says... 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.

Michael says... 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. | About the Author Michael Wakeley 17th May 2010 12:57pm #UserID: 1746 Posts: 178 View All Michael's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... 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 | About the Author Rev north qld 22nd June 2010 4:54pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... 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 | About the Author Rev 10th August 2010 1:44am #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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?

snottiegobble says... 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.

Kerry says... 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.

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. | About the Author Michael D Cabramatta 1st April 2011 9:53pm #UserID: 1938 Posts: 116 View All Michael D's Edible Fruit Trees |

Miranda says... 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. | About the Author schofields 2nd April 2011 3:59pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... 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.

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.

snottiegobble says... 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!

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. | About the Author Cairns 25th February 2012 9:46am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... 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.

snottiegobble says... 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.

Mike says... BJ my 2 are really productive and the fruit average about 450g but some are way bigger with a 920g whopper today.Soon as the season is over I will hack them right back and fertilize them heaps, but light in the N.In the other thread I mentioned I secured a few seeds of the red atemoya.Did the chempas pull through ICU? | About the Author Cairns 25th February 2012 9:16pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... 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.

MaryT says... 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.

BJ says... 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! | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 26th February 2012 3:30pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tahmina says... Hello, Can someone please help me, I am desperatly looking for graviola leafs/fruit anything really to help cancer killing purposes. My dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer and he cannot be offered any treatment because of other medical conditions. I herd about the graviola tree and how it helps kill cancer cells, I live in London, and I have not been able to find this anywhere. Hearing about the graviola tree has given me some hope!

snottiegobble says... 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).

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. | About the Author 24th March 2012 9:51am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

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.

BJ says... 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. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 26th March 2012 8:33pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Amused says... 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 | About the Author 27th March 2012 9:45pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... 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. | About the Author Cairns 27th March 2012 10:16pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Amused says... 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 | About the Author 28th March 2012 12:05am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise says... 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. | About the Author 29th March 2012 6:56am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... 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.

Eveline says... 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. | About the Author Mendi 18th December 2012 3:07pm #UserID: 7534 Posts: 2 View All Mendi's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... 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.

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.

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 | About the Author MaryT Sydney 6th May 2013 7:55am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kim says... 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. | About the Author kim14 6th May 2013 1:17pm #UserID: 6755 Posts: 97 View All kim14's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... 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.

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.

Julie says... 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.

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. | About the Author Jason Portland 8th May 2013 3:56pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... 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.

Jason says... 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. | About the Author Jason Portland 9th May 2013 11:31am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Feemitch says... 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. | About the Author Feemitch 9th May 2013 12:28pm #UserID: 7984 Posts: 1 View All Feemitch's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... 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.

Alanafg says... 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.

Brendan says... 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.

starling says... Rajan, I would strongly urge you to exercise caution and restraint in prescribing graviola for your dad. There is no empiricle clinical data which suggests that graviola increases the probability of remission in cancer patients, but further, there is very strong epidemiological data which shows a high correlation between nuereological disorders( particularly parkinsons disease) and consumption of soursop. It is thought that this is because soursop contains a neurotoxin called annonacin. This particular study ( which I find methodologically sound, I major in statistics) makes a strong case for ditching soursop. It is published by Oxford. There are numerous other PR journals which discuss the role of graviola consumption and its link with nueral problems. I can access these from my current instution and forward them to you if the case is that you can only read the abstracts. http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/130/3/816.short I'm sorry for your troubles, all the best.

Anonymous says... I will apologise in advance for shouting,but I really am getting tired of reiterating this: SOURSOP CONTAINS A CHEMICAL CALLED ANNONACIN WHICH CAUSES ATYPICAL PARKINSONS DISEASE. Yes. Yes it does.This is clearly understood, and is empirically true. It is a fact as much as anything is a fact in the physical universe we occupy. There is NO EVIDENCE BEYOND PLACEBO that soursop helps fight cancer or increases the probability of cancer remission. No. No there isn't. This is nothing epistemological about this issue. That's just the objective reality of the situation. Anybody who wants a copy of some PEER REVIEWED large and meso-scale epidemiological studies from researchers working out of HARVARD and CAMBRIDGE, please contact me at: ljo84 at hushmail dot com If you need help interpreting the methodology or statistics I can assist with that. Dear moderator: Before you delete this post, understand that when you do that, you are indirectly yet willfully enabling, aiding and abetting scientifically illiterate charlatans who profit from the desperation of desperately ill people or people who want to save desperately ill people. You are empowering entrepreneurial vultures to profiteer from human misery and worse,are encouraging people to inflict further harm on themselves or the people they are trying to help. The store this forum is ascribed to continues to sell soursop; this ranks as one of the clearest instances of conflict of interest I have ever seen.Are you so keen to make money from graviola trees that you are actually willing to endorse this dangerous and totally fallacious culture of cancer-curing bullshit whilst being totally cognitive of the fact that the link between soursop consumption and parkinson's disease is as tentative as that between smoking and lung cancer? Or are you generally just ignorant of the research?

Anonymous says... Thankyou Mike, its nice to get another voice of reason in light of the unadulterated insanity this thread has produced. In terms of evidence, there is doodley squat which might suggest that soursop 'cures' cancer. Nada. More to the point, indicators produced in laboratory settings almost never relate to results produced in human trials. I'm going to say all this once, and then I'm never going to mention it again. I'm not making a stance against vivisection here ( reality is there's no way around it at this stage) but 9 from 10 drugs proven successful in animal experimentation fail in human trials. Another little useless factoid (believe me, I save them up) is that mice are not included in overall vivisection tallies. Not sure why that is, don't really like to think about it. Researchers often deliberately manipulate studies at the methodological level in order to skew the results--this happens a lot, I promise. Honestly, the potential to statistically deceive people is great, and it isn't hard to do. There are just so, so many ways to pull the wool over peoples eyes through mechanisms such as scaling and just plain old omission.The reason for this is that mathematical language is indecipherable to pretty much everybody who doesn't either have to understand it for occupational purposes or otherwise takes a very serious interest in it as a hobby. The ABS is notorious, for example, for conflating data. I have even seen some fairly shambolic CSIRO papers recently and I expect them to get a hell of a lot worse if it becomes privatized, which could very well feasibly happen. Now, before somebody pulls the old "You're sources are slanted/lobbied/how do you know the studies you've seen aren't manupulated" Thing out their arse, I ask that you please put down the bongo drum and listen: A)Soursop is not patented. It's terra nullius. Do you honestly think ivory tower pharmacy such as phizer hasn't looked in to it? You can bet the farm that if there was something in there that cured cancer, they would have isolated it, ripped it out, distilled it, put it in a pill or a needle, given it name, and had an army of lawyers all over it like seagulls on a bag of chips to ensure sole ownership and copyright of the most important medical treatment in the history of mankind. Period. I promise you, the best scientists go where the big money is. There are people in this world who have the empathetic range of an unprinted cardboard box and dream in equations. B)we already have human trials of the effect of annonacin. They have been happening, unintentionally, for as long as humans have been eaten a shitload of soursop.The only difference is, people have started taking the minutes. What they have learned is that doing that causes parkinson's disease. As for how much annonacin it takes to cause parkinsons in a human being, I am going to say something more people should be saying: I don't know.I don't know, because as far as I can find, there isn't any data which explicates this. The last thing I'd ever do, which is what all the cranks in this thread can't seem to understand or choose to ignore, is make unsubstantiated claims which I can't qualify with data to the end of fattening my wallet. This pisses me off. What I can say is that the correlation is incredibly strong; so strong that there is simply no way it can be argued that annonacin doesn't cause Parkinson's disease.There is simply no other intelligible explanation. This is the consensus across a range of sciences, not just neuroscience. In epidemiological terms, the regularity of soursop consumption is positively correlated with incidences of parkinsons disease absolutely everywhere. In Guadeloupe it is an epidemic. In fact, there is even a term for it: Guadeloupe parkinsonism. There is no other salient explanation for it apart from high consumption of graviola due to the genetic disrelationship between cases of affected individuals. It blows my mind that people won't eat from aluminum pots because of the correlation between this and Alzheimer disease and will still eat soursop despite its correlation to parkinson's disease. This is something like masochism. As for how much it takes, again, I don't know, But how about this: I don't give a shit. I'd rather not eat ANY on the basis that it isn't understood how much annonacin it takes to be causal rather than say 'well, they don't know yet, so I'm just gonna eat as much as I think is a sensible amount'. This is intentional fallacy of a very dangerous sort. Mike you will know more about this than me, but wouldn't soursop fruit at regular intervals? Or will it fruit more abundantly and regularly in different locales? If the first is true, than surely somebody in Australia could, theoretically at least consume as much as somebody in Bolivia if they actively cultivated it for consumption and particularly liked it? Anyway rant over. If you're reading this and selling soursop leaves to cancer patients I hope you get raped by a syphilitic bear. s | About the Author sternus1 8th November 2013 6:29pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... S, if we distil the contents of all the genuine scientific articles on the topic and discard all the sales pitches and unsubstantiated stuff it comes down to this. Heavy consumption of soursop over prolonged periods increases the incidence of this type of Parkinson's according to strong circumstantial evidence and modes have been postulated.In Guadeloupe near parts of the Carribean where numerous cultivars with long seasons and stored nectars allow continuous soursop (probably due to annonacin and a few other metabolites) consumption this is a problem.The moral of the story is don't eat soursop every day and year round. It seems to take large amounts to cause medical problems. The second part is the anti-cancer properties of soursop leaves,fruit etc.This is not proven in the real world just with some types of cancer cells in the lab.It is still speculation if sufferers have positive results from consumption.Look at the advice in the attachments. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 8th November 2013 7:18pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... Mike, I agree. It is speculation. It is speculated (even by some biologists, bless them) that bigfoot may exist. I can't prove that it doesn't due to the principle of ambiguity; that is, it is ultimately impossible to prove a negative. But relying on the principle of ambiguity does not constitute logic; by that reasoning, I might say that I believe sitting around on inflatable furniture thinking about ponies and rainbows cures cancer. In fact, if you conducted a trial, you would find that this probably did happen in some cases. Why? Nobody knows--its a confound. Confounds occur in research almost all of the time. in fact if a study doesn't bring one up it isn't a good study. Confounds on any graph or chart are easy to see as outliers. So when somebody says something like: "In laboratory studies, graviola extracts can kill some types of liver and breast cancer cells that are resistant to particular chemotherapy drugs" This means, in terms of evidence, absolutely nothing at all. In fact it means less than nothing, because it is a confound; that is, a result or phenomenon for which there is no definitive explanation. To unpack that sentence: In labaratory studies: which lab? How was the study conducted? Who did it? who payed for it? Who were the tissue cultures taken from? Who were the participants? How were they sampled? What was the sampling error? How was this decided? How were the numbers crunched? What coefficients were there? Graviola extracts: Which? Sugar can be a graviola extract. Annonacin? Was this extract concentrated? Was it used in conjunction with any other compounds? How were the compounds extracted--through the usage of other compounds? Could these have influenced the results? Could any procedural steps have influenced the outcomes in some way? Some types of liver and breast cancer cells: Which? How did these cells differ from other types of liver cancer cells? Were these cells from human tissue cultures? Were there any structural differences between these cells? How many did the extracts exactly affect? What is the explanation for this? Were these types experimented on at the same time, via the same procedure? Are resistant: In what way? In what relational terms? When are they resistant/what factors influence this resistance? Is the definition of resistance in the specific case nominal or categorical? Specific chemotherapy drugs: Which? In what dosage/concentration? What about other treatments within the field of nuclear medicine? Were there controls? Under what conditions were these specific drugs tested against the cells and did this vary from deviate from the procedure employed in the instance of the soursop extract etc etc. I could probably go on forever. My point is, anecdotes are not evidence, and it is very, very easy to manipulate results through the use of language that isn't mathematical. It may be that it takes a lot of annonacin to create parkinson's, and I'm inclined to believe this is true. For example, if it worked as quickly as something like datura this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion. I suspect you probably won't get parkinson's from the odd indulgence of soursop, but over the course of a lifetime of odd indulgence, who knows? Is annonacin accumulative in the brain? I don't know. I just know if I don't eat it, I don't need to know and won't find out the hard way. However, scientists actually do know how annonacin destroys neurons; this is well documented and amounts to a lot more than circumstantial evidence. Here is one quote I pulled from Elsevier (if you want the full thing drop me a message, they'll charge and arm and a leg otherwise: "Attempts to restore oxidative phosphorylation with lactate or pyruvate failed to provide protection to dopaminergic neurons whereas idoacetate, an inhibitor of glycolysis, inhibited the survival promoting effects of glucose and mannose indicating that these two hexoses acted independently of mitochondria by stimulating glycolysis. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that annonacin promotes dopaminergic neuronal death by impairment of energy production. It also underlines the need to address its possible role in the etiology of some atypical forms of Parkinsonism in Guadeloupe" (Lannuzel et al 2003). Don't think I know what this all means, the reality is, I don't. This isn't my area of science. My concern is that folk are reading threads like these (perhaps people with cancer, or people with kin who are suffering from cancer)and going troppo on soursop fruit and leaves--even relying on it as a primary form of treatment. And people come on these boards to make money from it. And I think that is just plain evil. | About the Author sternus1 8th November 2013 8:18pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Yes, don't chop your soursop trees down just yet. All custard apple family have annonaicin, not just guanabana, or it would be called guanabanaicin. The big tips are to never juice whole fruit as the seeds are highest in concentration. Otherwise enjoy, just don't base your diet around them.

JakfruitEttiquette says... The biggest hole I see in this is that 1 soursop and annonacea are accepted foods from the jungle cultures of Sth America etc, where the intimacy of ethnobotanical knowledge of plant foods medicines drugs would surely have picked up harmful effects long before. 2 Guadeloupe has an endemic parkinsons like syndrome, Guadeloupe has high per . capita consumption of soursop, soursop seeds, leaves, bark, (fruit??) contains a neurotoxin(extractable) and these can be highly statistically linked. Nothing else unique about Guadeloupe, apart from Soursops was investigated that could contribute to parkinsons disease ?? Ganja?,encephalitis?,insecticides? ps 77% of stastics are made up on the spot. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 8th November 2013 9:43pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... JE, 1)Merely because the "jungle cultures" eat soursop does not entail that they are oblivious to its detrimental effects, or inversely have any understanding of the chemicals contained in it whatsoever. Any anthropologist will tell you that myriad cultures everywhere engage in practices of consumption and ritual perniciously deleterious to physical and psychological health. Moreover, you are not considering the problematic nature of procuring food in traditional lifestyle societies, or modern developing countries and the bearing this might have on an individual's level of graviola consumption. 2) guadeloupe does have this, yes. The contention is that this is due to excess consumption of soursop. If you had actually read my post carefully, you might have noticed that it is believed to be the case due the lack of genetic relationship between cases. It is the model of explanation with the most explanatory power. 3) Please go ahead and attempt to explain away the neuroscience paper abstract I included with more of your stellar intellect and home brewed wisdom. Or are you just going to ignore that one insomuch as there is absolutely no way you can attempt refute it without making yourself looking patently ridiculous? 4) 99% of catch phrases are lifted and subsequently overused by people who are spectacularly uncreative and can't conceive any of their own. s | About the Author sternus1 8th November 2013 10:27pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JakfruitEttiquette says... Anon 8314, The neuroscience abstract you quote is an indication that the toxin irreversibly damages neurone function. Obviously this was not performed on living human subjects. Usually the toxin would be extracted, possibly concentrated and applied to brain tissue samples. How directly would this relate to consumption of soursop, and the level of toxin in the human brain afterwards. Toxin accumulation in the brain of deceased parkinsons patients etc is what seems to be missing as direct evidence. ps notice i didn't insult you. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 9th November 2013 12:01am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... First off, I apologize for my derisive tone. Secondly, I am in agreement that there is not at this stage enough data that would allow one to make a claim as to how much soursop can be safely consumed. This isn't understood, and I have been saying this all along. However, there is a consensus at this stage that regular ingestion probably causes atypical parkinson's disease due to the depth and scope of research and situational evidence which suggests that it does. You've only got to think that atypical cases represent 65% of those in countries where soursop is regularly consumed, compared to 5% in western countries. When descriptive stats soursop pings as an extremely high positive correlation in relation to a range of other variables in a range of locations--not just Guadeloupe, but places such as guam/west indies/new guinea/ etc. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck it probably isn't a pillock. That said, I suspect that, as BJ pointed out, the major risk is in consuming concoctions derived from the leaves, seeds, and bark--in fact the research does tend to suggest this as opposed to the flesh of the fruit. There is obviously some evolutionary purpose of the presence of annonaicin in soursop; its probably there to deter creepy crawlies eating it, which would explain why the highest concentrations of it might be in the leaves, seeds and bark. In fact if you think about it, it is counter-intuitive in terms of Accumulative selection that soursop would have a toxic fruit. If this was the case, nothing would eat it, which is pretty much the worst thing that could happen to an organism which is trying to send its genetic code into the future through seed dispersal via other organism eating its fruit, walking off and pooping out the seeds far and away. Fruit trees want their fruit to be eaten. However evolution is not an intelligent process and I am being incredibly anthropomorphic on this point; it could also very well be that there is a high presence of annonacin present in the flesh simply because there is no evolutionary reason for this having had to dissapear over the course of that species' evolution. At some point annonaicin manifested in the species through a random mutation. This secured it a slight evolutionary advantage, somehow, and enabled it to survive in the conditions of its environment. And because of this, this variation within a species was selected by the conditions of that environment so it became more and more pronounced--intensified. Animals and people were still eating the fruit, and it probably didn't kill them of induce atypical parkinson's disease because frankly something else would have killed them before this reached a chronic point. But because it kept being eaten, and because it secured a survival advantage (possibly as an insect deterrent) annonaicin kept become a stronger and stronger as a genetic feature of soursop.There was no reason for this to change, or to do anything else but become more pronounced. Fast forward to the present, and people now absolutely have the potential to develop atypical parkinson's disease from consumption of soursop, because no longer will they be killed off by those other forces which would have ended their lives in the environment(s) in which soursop evolved. So now we are back to seeds, leaves and bark. This is exactly what some people have been selling on this forum to people with or people who are trying to treat other people for CANCER. And it needs to be stopped. This is the primary reason I continue to rage about this. | About the Author sternus1 9th November 2013 8:53am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Hi Shaziya, I'm sorry to hear of your grandma's illness but I cannot help you with soursop. To be honest, even if I have a supply I would not encourage you to think that soursop could cure cancer, especially brain cancer. Speaking as an older woman who is living with an incurable cancer (though one that is slower in its development than brain cancer), I can tell you that if I have a caring grandchild like you, I would prefer him/her to spend a little time with me rather than run around trying to heal me. Be that loving grandchild to your grandmother - hold her hand, tell her you love her, do chores for her, ask her to tell you all the things she meant to tell you while there is time. Give her your time in a way that would make a difference to the quality of her life. Do it now. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 21st November 2013 7:25am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Shaziya says... Hi MaryT, Thank you for your reply. My grandma is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is getting weaker by the day.It's just hard knowing that we can't do anything for her. When someone told me that soursop may help I started searching the Internet for it and thought I could help her. I just don't know how to deal with this as I am very close to her. It is such a cruel disease that nobody deserves. Thank you for your kind words. I hope that you get better and are living every moment to fullest. I am only 19 and your words have made a huge impact on me. I will be seeing my grandma tomorrow and from now I will start to cherish every moment I have with her and make her life easier for her. | About the Author Shaziya Stretton 25th November 2013 12:04am #UserID: 8358 Posts: 2 View All Shaziya's Edible Fruit Trees |

Allan says... Hello Shaziya, I have a friend of mine who has told me of an 8 year old child who had surgery to remove a large tumor only to have it return. But the tumor was beaten by powered graviola capsules taken over a period of about 6 months. This has astounded the medical professionals and there is no medical explanation for it. It simply worked. My wife is seriously interested in starting this supplement as she has an enlarged thyroid. Of course as with any alternative treatment the results vary greatly, but it is worth a try.

sternus1 says... Julie, there is no cancer conspiracy. My degree is in stats and methodology, and I am yet to see a single shred of verified evidence coming from a respected, peer reviewed research body which demonstrates that soursop extracts even correlate to remission in human trials. Not one. Here's a few things I can promise you are true: A)If there was something in soursop that did what the fringe lunatics claim it to do, that would be the most lucrative pharmacological discovery in the history of medicine. The profit that would generate would be, well, incalculable. Astronomical. B) Private industry attracts the best scientists. This might be why our own CSIRO is so atrocious at everything they do (trust me, I have to peruse various CSIRO papers as part of my degree all the time). We export our best and brightest these days, unfortunately. C) Soursop contains annonaicin, which if ingested regularly causes type A parkinson's disease. There are a plethora of medical, nueroscience and epidemiological studies which confirm this. D)If there was a cancer cure in soursop, somebody at phizer would have isolated it and put it in a pill by now. Why? Refer to point A. Julie, try using google scholar if you're going to present articles for perusal. If I tried to use a non peer reviewed Journal article in an essay my lecturer(S) would laugh in my face, then fail me. If it isn't peer reviewed, it doesn't warrant consideration. If you find something you want via scholar or some other database and can't access it, let me know and I'll pull it for you. s | About the Author sternus1 Australia 10th February 2014 6:10pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Sternus, I too get to review science papers for journal publications (less often these days) and did stats for scientists. I do however have a different spin. I think C) is true but has not been confirmed in humans, in spite of much circumstantial evidence. D) I think there is every chance soursop may do something positive but designing a test in people or defining the pathway is hard and no 3 way anova will give the answer.I also think that pharmaceutical companies focus on whether they can make money out of something and have exclusive rights.Whether something works is not their focus. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 10th February 2014 8:32pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Mike if we're going to throw out the entire mathematical basis of scientific research then we might as well all go back to sacrificing goats to moon Gods. I will admit that I'm biased however; I think this idea that anthropocentric illnesses have ready-made cures in the natural world is a very silly concept. It as though people think that things in the world have some innate design..are preternaturally structured for human benefit. Now, you know better than I do with your greater experience of flora and fauna in the wild, that this isn't true. In fact, almost all of the medicines we use are derived from poisons. The history of pharmacology can be said to be the process of giving people things that drive them to the point of death then giving them another poison which counteracts the poison that put them there. The irony here is that the counter poisons, if prescribed on their own also put the imbiber at the point of death. Some naturally occurring substances are good from the get go of course, like opium, which is probably the most important naturally occurring compound on earth. We all pretty much owe that pretty flower everything in terms of pain relief and general quality of life. It should not be illegal to grow opium poppies, I believe. If you really pushed me I'd have to agree that annonaicin can't be said to be causative of TA Parkinson's beyond the point of falsifiability, but I mean really, what can be said to be beyond the point of that, if you really get into it? It is pretty clear cut, from what I've seen; the evidence is certainly more than circumstantial as nuerologists actually already know the mechanisms by which annonacin promotes neural death. The fact that Paracetamol isn't owned exclusively by any corporation or sole entity doesn't stop thousands of companies pushing out their own brand of it. I will only eat soursop very, very sparingly. Not easy to do, because in my opinion it is one of the best annonas, if not the best. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 10th February 2014 9:07pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Sternus I don't suggest we throw out stats just scrutinise how they are applied, what the results mean and if the burden of proof is the same for a poison or disease treatment.Quinine might be a borer defence but has other uses. Caffeine and THC are aimed at insects also but have other uses.We might make use of an antibiotic made by mould,but not antibiotic/fungicide in frog skin or sunblock of coral polyps.There are a lot of useful phytochemicals out there that haven't been properly looked at for lots of reasons.Not cures or ready made substances but useful in medicine. TA Parkinsons seems to be a result of excess annonaicin as strong evidence shows but you need to eat a lot. Paracetamol does not grow on trees so is good for pharmaceutical companies but if it were owned exclusively it would be better. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 10th February 2014 10:07pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... I'd say that humans as living organisms share a common chemical basis in their biology with all other living things. Hence the biological chemicals from other organisms can perform functions in humans. Also similar/same chemical compounds perform same or different functions in plants and humans. How about plant derived steroids+hormones ? The human hormones(precursors?) for the contraceptive pill can be extracted from various Solanaceae. Common biology is the basis for many plant and animal derived medicines, as well as toxins(venoms, anti coagulants, anti biotics etc) It's not too surprising to find the cure for a human disease in another organism. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 11th February 2014 7:18am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Mike I have an unsubtantiated theory about certain Garcinia; that is, they are strong appetite suppressants. A couple of weeks back I'd been capitalizing on the achacha season, had been eating dozens of them. I noticed that after 5-6 achacha I didn't feel hungry for the rest of the day. In the end, I was forcing myself to eat. I don't think think there is anything in them that burns fat, but I do think there is something in them that makes you not feel hungry, so you eat less, and wind up non-intentionally calorie deficit dieting. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 11th February 2014 9:22am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Cuban Fiberless is the common one is Australia and it is full of fibre.Whitmans is truly fibreless and was introduce about 40 years ago and rejected due to poor fruit set.Apparently an offspring of the whitman in Cairns is a high yielder but its location is subject to rumour.Soon (a few years) Arusha,Lisa and Brazil Giant will be around.The excellent Panama fibreless is already here and will no doubt be getting around before long. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 17th February 2015 9:06am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lissa says... Hi Russell and Damon. Sorry to hear about your cancer concerns. I have given away a lot of leaves to various people over the years - I understand they make tea, but I could be wrong. I have never had anyone give feedback about any effects from using the leaves but you are most welcome to have some to try for yourselves. I'm at Strathpine in Qld if you're close enough to collect or I will sort out postage. There are places online these days that sell Graviola products. Here's some from a quick search: https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1PQCZ_enAU682AU682&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=graviola%20capsules If you read back through this forum thread there is more information including this: jingaadmin says... If you need the highest quality soursop leaves we sell soursop leaves at both our websites. Try www.jingajuice.com.au or www.soursopleaves.com.au and we have free delivery in Australia | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 27th July 2016 4:09am #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

JENNEFER23STOUGH says... Hi I found it at Footscray market and some of the Asian grocers have the fruit for sale when they're in season. By the way I needed DA 7223-1 several days ago and learned about an excellent service with 6,000,000 forms . If others have been needing DA 7223-1 too , here's a "http://goo.gl/cxCvRF". | About the Author JENNEFER23STOUGH 1 4th September 2016 8:21am #UserID: 14518 Posts: 1 View All JENNEFER23STOUGH 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Theres quite a few around Townsville. They grow very well in the moderately dry tropics. They will lose all their leaves and go dormant in the dry season. Its the second most drought hardy species of Annona ive seen, the hardiest by far would be the sugar apple Annona squamosa which is so damn tough. Theres a good specimen in queens gardens in North ward but others ive seen throughout teh suburbs. Its so easy to grow, if you buy one fruit youll get 50+ trees from it. Now im in West Nusa Tengarra province of Indonesia and here its also common - known as Sirsak or Srikaya belanda. There are two grafted types sold. Ratu (queen) and Madu (honey). | About the Author Rev TABULAM,2469,NSW 5th September 2016 12:19pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bino says... Hi Sonia, You can order a tree from a nursery, but did you know that Graviola capsules are made from the sour sop fruit. It would be much better than just eating the fruit because you would have to eat a lot of fruit before it would help your son. I was told about a man who had prostrate cancer and he took Graviola and his cancer was gone after a period of time. Even the doctors were amazed. We have a sour sop tree in our yard and eat the fruit regularly. It's a lovely fruit and the tree is a nice straight tree and ours never loses its leaves as someone else said theirs did.You can buy the Graviola capsules from IHERB on line. Research it and you might be surprised. Good luck! By the way, I live in Townsville, and I doubt if the tree would grow in Melbourne as its a tropical tree. | About the Author Bino Kelso 25th November 2016 7:15pm #UserID: 15053 Posts: 2 View All Bino's Edible Fruit Trees |
