I have not, however, done a web search for the results of any research studies that may have been done on paw paw. I would recommend that type of search for anyone seriously interested in using paw paw for cancer.  Time consuming, and sometimes frustrating, but perhaps the best way to get the facts.I do know that paw paw is a very nutritious natural food that unfortunately has been deleted from the modern diet, as is the case with so many other herbs and foods.  I think that is one of the reasons why cancer is so much on the rampage - we are no longer eating the ingredients nature gave us to fight abnormalities in our bodies.One thing to keep in mind:  not everything that has helped one person will help another.  Individual body chemistry, presence of other disease processes, differing dietary and water intake, stress factors - all this and more play a role as to how effective individual substances can be at fighting cancer.Having said this, I see no reason not to try paw paw, as long as there is no allergy or food intolerance, and as long as one checks with the dr to see if it will interact with any other drugs being taken or is contraindicated for any other reason.  If you don't have access to organic paw paw, there are many safe extracts on the market, and I don't think paw paw is as prohibitively expensive as some of the other alternatives being offered for cancer.I however, would not put all eggs in one basket:  paw paw may or may not work.  Best to be including other herbs/supplements or natural foods that have good track records as anti-oxidants, cancer-killers, health boosters. You can stop an intruder dead with a single-shot weapon only if you are extremely lucky or if you are a very good shot.  Otherwise a shotgun may be much more effective.Sincerely,Tre   trehouse60 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 6/20/2008 trehouse60 wrote: On 6/16/2008 jcr65566 wrote:Hi dos any one know any thing about Pawpaw my father says it help fight cancer.

A one pound Pawpaw fruit cost me three dollars and  last two days I cut in to 8 peaces one and take one Pease ever six hours Iv  been on it three weeks through I don’t even like pawpaw My CFS is pretty much  gone I don’t need to take Saw palmetto any more I seem to empty my bladder quit will now. The doctor said my prostrate not as big as before the lump below my bladder is still there but is not as bad as be fore I use to sweet a lot every day and night now I don’t But I think this is because of the Zeolittt and the large amount of vitamin c I was on. Has any one reading this  had this effect from eating Pawpaw please let me know My doctor said he’s seen this before he said it not very reliable as it only work for about 50% of the time researchers don’t know why God bless Ray         jcr65566 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
