Hi, just came across Graviola, from South America.
Just wondering if anyone has heard of it, or is actually using it with advice from their Oncology team?
If this is not appropriate to post on this community, please would admin review and remove, just thought it may be of interest to all generally.
Thanks for reading, Ian
Hi Astridian
I had to look it up ! Is it for its antioxidant properties ? I think given you have covered only using it under guidance of your oncologist it should be fine . But I can check it out for you with admin if you like ?
take care ,

Hi Astridian
I have actually not tried it myself but you just reminded me that my sister told me about this.
After I was diagnosed she was looking around in ways to help, she's in Sweden so think she wanted to try do do her bit from a far. But then I completely forgot about it.
I did find some info about it on the Cancer research website: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancer-in-general/treatment/complementary-alternative-therapies/individual-therapies/graviola
I might ask my oncologist about it next week and see if he has had any experience with it.
All the best, Em
