Yesterday, as we mentioned in our Zombie Fruit post, we had the opportunity to spend some time at Ames Orchard, which is home to bioregional fruit plant gems. We’ve been wanting to visit for quite some time. We’ll write a post and share a vid this week of some thoughts we had from the visit, but one of the things we gleaned was an excitement to look further into the Paw Paw’s use against cancer. As if we needed any further impetus to love the Paw Paw more!!
While we’d heard about this many times, for some reason we’d never looked further into it. What part exactly is anti carcinogenic (actually, it depletes the energy of the cancer cells)? How do you use it? Are people actually being healed from cancer using it?
After I excitedly did some research this morning, I found a few articles that I thought I could share using DLike. I delegate to this platform and at times have gone on there to see what people are sharing.
The article I am sharing today is by a pioneer in the field, Jerry McLaughlin, who worked for Purdue University in Indiana (kinda near where I grew up). He is the one we have to thank for MUCH of the Paw Paw research!!
He has videos and articles on the website shared in this link so be sure to look further!!
I am amazed and incredibly heartened by what I am finding. Ini and I were curious how they were using Paw Paw twigs to make medicine.
The twigs are most potent- containing the most acetogenins- during May-June and for this first trial they used 18,000 lbs of it (found in Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky!).
This article fully explains the components that make Paw Paw able to fight cancer, and especially Drug Resistant Forms of Cancer (which is amazing that a natural medicine has been proven to do this!).
Near the end, they also share some case studies of people who were cured of their cancer. Please be sure to read those. I've included a few below.
You have heard us talk a lot about how delicious the Paw Paw is, but it has been proven to also CURE CANCER. Even more reasons to be in love with this plant, plant it everywhere and tell people about it. Nature's pharmacy is truly amazing!!
