Fight Cancer with Papaya – Treats Every Type of Tumor
Papaya has been known for its cancer fighting properties and has been used as an alternative cancer treatment option for many years, however so far there’s been no scientific evidence proving that Papaya could fight cancer. This is no longer true. International doctors and researchers conducted an extensive study on effects of Papaya on cancer and their findings, which were published on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology conclude that Papaya Leaf Tea and Papaya Leaf Extract have “dramatic cancer-fighting properties against a broad range of tumors”.
Fight Cancer with Papaya - Treats Every Type of Tumor
Nam Dang from the University of Florida teamed up with researchers from Japan to test the anti-cancer effects of dry Papaya leaf extract against cervix cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer and found that the higher the dose of Papaya leaf tea was used, the more it impacted the tumor.
Cancer fighting properties of Papaya leaf tea were attributed to increased production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines, which are known regulators of the immune system. Papaya extract helps to stimulate these Th1-type cytokines which in turn promote the ability of patient’s immunity to destroy cancerous cells. With proper boost, the immune system is able to fight various types of cancers without the need of harmful procedures such as chemotherapy or radiation. And since Papaya has no toxic effects on normal cells, its consumption goes without side effects.
Ten different cancer type cells were exposed to Papaya leaf extract for 24 hours and each of the cultures experienced slower tumor growth after exposure. Researchers repeated the test with exposure to Papaya leaf extract of different strengths and recorded the results for each. In conclusion, higher doses of Papaya leaf extract showed more powerful impact on tumor growth. Since according to this study, Papaya is able to slow down the growth of any type of tumor, no matter which type of cancer you are suffering from, Papaya could help you fight it.

Hi!
Do you know the recipe for making papaya extract tea with “dried” papaya leaves rather than with the “fresh” papaya leaves? I have a sister who has been diagnosed with bone cancer and would like to get her on this extract right away.
I’ve read about making the extract with fresh papaya leaves, but don’t know how to translate this into using dried papaya laeaves.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Kathryn,
Researchers lead by Mr. Nam Dang who discovered cancer fighting properties of Papaya had a patent pending technology to extract the active ingredients from the leaves. I do not know how one could do it on their own, but these people will be selling their Papaya teas and whatever other products once they get their production line in order.
I wish your sister early recovery. Hope she pulls through and comes out cancer free in the end.

Interesting topic about papaya leaves extract used for anti-cancer properties. What about consuming the fruit daily. Its the best laxative, natural and full of Vitmins and minerals.
If anybody has knowledge of the fruit anti cancer propertie, might be a good idea to consume daily for breakfast with cereals ( oatmeal )

to the lady who has a sister with cancer: You make a decoction out of the dried leaves; that is, you put as much as you can of the dried leaves and stems into a glass or stainless steel pot with a tight cover, bring them to a gentle boil, then simmer for 1/2 hour or so. You can add cinnamon stick or licorice root to make it taste better. (Boil the cinnamon or licorice with the tea). Leave it to cool, then drink. Drink as much as you can. You can also make a tincture out of the dried leaves, by soaking them in vodka for 2 weeks or a month, then straining the dried leaves out. Wring the leaves out as well, so that you get every bit of good extract. Don’t be shy, put a lot of leaves in the vodka, the stronger the better. You can also buy the liquid extract, while you are waiting for your own to be ready, from Amazon.com, it costs about $25.00 for 8 ounces. In the meantime, give her plenty of tea. I would be taking a good pau d’arco extract as well-the best on the market is Taheebo Life Tea (do a google search for this)–very expensive but it is WONDERFUL, and I’m not kidding. Graviola is also excellent. Don’t forget to feed her a lot of flax seed powder (the lignans in flax fight breast cancer). My prayers are with you and your sister, and I hope you get this message.
