GravizonTM~ An Herbal Support for the Immune, Circulatory and Lymphatic
Systems
Gravizon contains: Graviola, Camu Camu, Sangre de Drago, Una de
gato, Pau
d'arco, Jatoba, Jurubeba, Dong quai, Chanca piedra, Alfalfa, Boldo,
Artichoke, Soy, Safflower, Tangerine Peel
The main ingredient in GravizonTM is graviola. Graviola is a medium
size
shrub growing in the Amazonian jungle. The graviola tree produces
a
delicious fruit commonly called paw-paw, which is widely consumed
by
indigenous people.
Nearly 25 years ago it was discovered that the leaf of the graviola
tree
contained natural compounds having exceptional cytotoxic activity.
In other
words, they had a very strong ability to prevent abnormal cellular
division.
In that sense, GravizonTM is considered a unique product for immune
support,
assisting the immune system in cleaning abnormal tissue growth.
When the immune system works in this manner to "clean up"
tissues, it must
be able to easily reach the target tissue and the debris must be
eliminated
effectively. For this reason, in GravizonTM, graviola is blended
with
RecovazonTM that contains many herbs known for their ability to
stimulate
blood and lymphatic circulations, EnvirozonTM that assists liver
functions,
and ArcozonTM that assists immune functions.
In addition to these herbs, GravizonTM also contains strong antioxidants
that provide protection against free radicals. For example camu
camu, a small
fruit the size of a large cherry, contains up to 4,000 times the
amount of
vitamin C contained in one orange. Also, sangre de drago, the sap
of a tree
that is nearly 90% oligomeric proanthocyanidins, the active component
in
grapeseed extract.
Therefore, GravizonTM is a unique formula designed to provide unique
immune
support to assist the body in regaining and maintaining health.

HEALTH SCIENCES INSTITUTE on GRAVIOLA
Members Alert for January 2001 Vol.5, No 7
Billion-dollar Drug Company Nearly Squashes Astounding Research
on Natural
Cancer Killer
Colon and breast cancer conquered with miracle tree from the Amazon
found to
be 10, 000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Since our inception in 1996, Health Sciences Institute has scoured
the world
to find cutting-edge treatments few people have access to or have
even heard
about. And sometimes, what we uncover startles even the medical
mavericks on
our board. Two months ago, we learned about an astounding cancer-fighting
tree from the Amazon that has literally sent shock waves through
the HSI
network.
Today, the future of cancer treatment and the chances of survival
look more
promising than ever. There's a healing tree that grows deep within
the
Amazon rain forest in South America that could literally change
how you, your
doctor, and possibly the rest of the world think about curing cancer.
With
extracts from this powerful tree, it may now be possible to... conquer
cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that doesn't
cause
extreme nausea, weight loss, and hair loss protect your immune system
and evade deadly infections feel strong and healthy throughout the
course of treatment boost your energy and improve your outlook on
life.
Through a series of confidential communications involving a researcher
from
one of America's largest pharmaceutical companies, this ancient
tree's
anticancerous properties have recently come to light. Although not
yet
tested in human trials, the tree has been studied in more than 20
laboratory tests since the 1970s, where it's been shown to: Effectively
target and kill
malignant cells in 12 different types of cancer, including colon,
breast,
prostate, lung, and pancreatic cancer; be 10,000 times stronger
in killing
colon cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic
drug ;
selectively hunt down and kill cancer cells without harming healthy
cells,
unlike chemotherapy.
So why isn't every health publication extolling the benefits of
this
treatment? Why hasn't it been made widely available throughout the
natural-medicine community? And, if it's only half as promising
as it
appears to be, why isn't every oncologist at every major hospital
insisting on using it on all his patients? Especially when you consider
that since the early
1990s, extensive independent research--including research by one
of today's
leading drug companies and by the National Cancer Institute--confirms
that
the tree's chemical extracts attack and destroy cancer cells with
lethal
precision. Graviola is 10,000 times stronger in killing colon cancer
than
Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug.
The answer to these difficult questions can only be explained by
recounting
a disturbing story we recently uncovered. More than anything else
we've
reported on this year, the story of this Amazon cancer treatment
reinforces
the need for groups like HSI and illustrates how easily our options
for
medical treatment are controlled by money and power. News of this
amazing
tree was nearly lost forever.
A confidential source, whose account we've been able to independently
confirm, revealed that a billion-dollar drug company in the United
States
tried for nearly seven years to synthesize two of the tree's most
powerful
anticancerous chemicals. In the early 1990s, behind lock and key,
this
well-known drug giant began searching for a cure for cancer--while
preciously guarding their opportunity to patent it and, therefore,
profit from it.
Research focused on a legendary healing tree called Graviola. Parts
of the
tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit, and fruit seeds--had
been
used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America
to
treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems, and arthritis. Going
on little
documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources
into
testing Graviola's anticancerous properties--and they were shocked
by the
results. Graviola was a cancer-killing dynamo. But that's where
the story of
Graviola nearly ended.
The pharmaceutical company had a big problem. They'd spent years
trying to
isolate and create man-made duplicates of two of the tree's most
powerful
chemicals. But they'd hit a brick wall. They couldn't replicate
the
original.
And they couldn't sell the tree extract itself profitably-because
federal
law mandates that natural substances can't be patented. That meant
the company couldn't protect its profits on the project it had poured
millions of
dollars and nearly seven years of research into. As the dream of
big profits
evaporated, testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.
After seven frustrating years and without the promise of lucrative
sales,
the company shelved the project and refused to publish its findings
in an
independent journal. But one responsible researcher struggled with
the
decision. while understanding the company's goal of profits, he
couldn't
accept the decision to hide this unique cancer killer from the world.
Following his conscience and risking his career, he contacted a
company
dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest
and blew
the whistle. They discovered that several other teams in the United
States
(in addition to that of the drug company) had been testing Graviola
in vitro
(in test tubes). The results supported the drug company's secret
findings;
Graviola had been shown to kill cancer cells.
Graviola hunts down and destroys prostate, lung, breast, colon,
and
pancreatic cancers... leaving healthy cells alone. Since November,
we've
been looking closely into the research to date on Graviola. It appears
one of the
first scientific references to it in the United States was by the
National
Cancer Institute (NCI). In 1976, the NCI included Graviola in a
plant-screening program that showed its leaves and stems were effective
in
attacking and destroying malignant cells. But the results were part
of an
internal NCI report and were, for some reason, never released to
the public.
Since 1976, there have been several promising cancer studies on
Graviola.
However, the tree's extracts have yet to be tested on cancer patients.
No
double-blind clinical trials exist, and clinical trials are typically
the
benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's
value.
Nevertheless, Graviola has been shown to kill cancer cells in vitro
in at
least 20 laboratory tests that our research has uncovered.
The most recent study, conducted at Catholic University of South
Korea
earlier this year.
1. Revealed that two chemicals extracted from Graviola seeds showed
â?oselective cytotoxicity comparable with Adriamycinâ?
for breast and colon
cancer cells. The chemicals targeted and killed malignant breast
and colon
cells in a test tube--comparable to the commonly used chemotherapy
drug
Adriamycin.
2. Another study, published in the Journal of Natural Products,
showed that
Graviola is not only comparable to Adriamycin--but dramatically
outperforms
it in laboratory tests. Results showed that one chemical found in
Graviola
selectively kill red colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the
potency of
Adriamycin."
3. Graviola selectively targets cancer cells leaving healthy cells
untouched. Chemotherapy indiscriminately seeks and destroys all
actively
reproducing cells - even normal, healthy ones. Other promising and
ongoing
research at Purdue University is supported by a grant from the National
Cancer Institute. Purdue researchers recently found that leaves
from the
Graviola tree killed cancer cells "among six human-cell lines"
and were
especially effective against prostate and pancreatic cancer cells.
4. In a separate study, Purdue researchers showed that extracts
from the
Graviola leaves are extremely effective in isolating and killing
lung cancer
cells.
5. Perhaps the most significant result of the study cited above
from the
Catholic University of South Korea, and of each of the others we've
found,
is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the enemy--leaving
all
healthy, normal cells untouched. By comparison, chemotherapy indiscriminately
seeks and destroys all actively reproducing cells--even normal hair
and stomach
cells. This is what causes such often-devastating side effects as
hair loss
and severe nausea. In this respect, Graviola looks to be a promising
alternative or supplement to mainstream treatments. Seven years
of silence
broken.
We are continuing to work conducting ongoing research on Graviola.
As more
scientific and anecdotal evidence comes to light, you'll be among
the first
to hear about it. However, after seven years of silence and hidden
research,
we felt it irresponsible not to bring this to you now.

Graviola fights more than cancer:
While the research on Graviola has focused on its cancer-fighting
effect,
the plant has been used for centuries by medicine men in South America
to treat
an astonishing number of ailments, including:
hypertension rashes arthritis high blood pressure nausea
ulcers ringworm malaria palpitations insomnia boils
influenza neuralgia rheumatism diarrhea dyspepsia
scurvy dysentery nervousness fever muscle spasms
Despite the mounting collection of laboratory tests and anecdotal
reports
about this cancer-fighting dynamo, Graviola may always remain an
underground
therapy! Graviola has yet to be clinically tested on animals or
humans. And
because Graviola is a natural product, it can't be patented. Without
the
promise of exclusive sales and high profitability, it will likely
never
again draw the attention of a major drug company or research lab.
So we may never see a double-blind clinical study on the tree that's
reported to help defeat
cancer. But there's no doubt about it--the early laboratory tests
and
anecdotal reports about Graviola are very exciting. And if you've
been
diagnosed with cancer, you and your doctor should look at all the
available
treatment options. Graviola may just provide the help you've been
looking
for that could make all the difference in beating cancer.
GravizonTM Guidelines*
GravizonTM is an herbal support formula prepared by Amazon Herb
Company
using the spagyric process. In addition to Graviola, there are other
herbs in
GravizonTM, which help the body to support immune function, to detoxify,
and
to drain toxins. For further support, other products are recommended
as
well:
GravizonTM: Add 1 teaspoon in a quart of purified water and sip
the
mixture throughout the day.
Shipibo Treasure TeaTM: Steep 1 bag in 3 to 4 cups of purified
water for
about 10 minutes and drink throughout the day. This tea energizes
the body,
supports the immune system to increase the white blood cell count,
helps
balance blood sugar levels, and provides antioxidant and antiviral
properties.
FiberzonTM: Thoroughly mix one packet in 8 oz. of pure water each
morning
upon waking and each evening before going to bed. Use a mixer or
shake
vigorously in a closed container--and drink the glass of Fiberzon
water
right away. Follow this by drinking an additional 8 ox. of purified
water.
Please make sure you also drink at least 6 additional glasses of
water throughout the day. Fiberzon gently cleanses and restores
the bodyâ?Ts intestinal hygiene.
AquazonTM: Supplement your diet with 2 capsules twice a day. AquazonTM
is a blend of wild fresh water algae and sea algae - whole foods
that nourish
and energize the body with natural compounds known to boost immune
function,
assist in weight control, remove toxic metals, increase energy and
promote
mental clarity.
It is suggested to take at least one 8 oz. bottle of GravizonTM
along with
the above products over a 4 to 6 week period. Depending on an individual's
response, a second 8 oz. bottle may be beneficial to an individual
consuming
this support formula. All of these products can be taken in larger
amounts
as the body tolerates them.
A word of caution: Causing cellular detoxification without adequate
drainage
may result in a "healing crisis." Symptoms of this are
similar to flu.
Itching and skin rashes may also occur.
GravizonTM is an herbal support formula classified as a dietary
supplement.
If Hippocrates were alive, he would almost certainly have indicated
this as
one that fits his quote: "Let food be your medicine, and medicine
be your
food."
These statements are written by Linda Hegstrand, MD, PhD, (member
of the
Amazon Herb Company's Medical Advisory Board), to provide some general
guidelines as to how to gain the most benefit while consuming GravizonTM.
