Graviola and Paw Paw

Never heard of either, unless paw paw is the nuisance weed we used to burn off.

Graviola you get as a powder for making tea's or in capsules form, I guess it is goodies from the bark of a tree like in the Amazon forest (if my HT memory serves me well). Actually doesn't taste bad as a tea, but doesn't dissolve very well, so it is gritty to drink but no problem for me to try it. Don't know if it did a darn thing, like many other supplement ideas....but then again pomegranate and some other things show some usefulness. Not that expensive either. Good luck, there are a lot of things one can try as additives Quercetin is another one and many more. One thing is for sure, any home remedy idea is usually touted as junk, of course there is no patents on junk (lol). DES is supposedly junk and might kill you (DVT's or clots), also no patent and dirt cheap....funny how it out performed ADT3 drugs and for way longer and better control in my case (8 yrs. after starting to fail on ADT3). But it's junk supposedly (LOL)
Look at everything and question everything and all the time, is a good mantra to live by. Good hunting.

Couldn't find much about the paw paw. It's a scrubby fruit tree that grows in the southeastern us and tends to grow in patches because new trees will spring up from roots of nearby trees.

(papaya is called paw paw in the south seas but American paw paw is a different plant.)

Sorry, I have to step in because I often have papaya for breakfast and occasionally paw paw and they are distinctively different. Papaya has orange to red flesh and it is often pear shaped (and delicious). Paw paw has yellow flesh and is rounder and larger. Both varieties are available year round here in Australia.
