Graviola

Has anyone had any dealings with GRAVIOLA?   There are various reports that this plant/herb is a cure for cancer. Any comments would be appreciated.

  • Hi I have  been reading about the fruit soursop which I think also comes under the name Graviola.  I have asked in Holland and Barrett but they have not even heard of it.  I was also wondering if anyone had used it..

  • Hi rel and leelaboo, 

    Unfortunately, graviola is promoted as an alternative cancer treatment and there is not enough reliable evidence that graviola works as a treatment for cancer. treatment. Claims that graviola can treat cancer are not backed up by research and  some chemicals in graviola could cause serious side effects. It is very important to talk to your doctor before taking any kind of complementary or alternative therapy. 

    Our website has reliable information on graviola (soursop) which I hope you will both find useful and I would also recommend you have a good read of our section on complementary and alternative therapies. 

    Best wishes,
