    If paw paw (papaya) cured cancer, few people would have it and fewer would die of it.

    If only it was that simple.

    I don't doubt for a moment, though, that there are people prepared to promote it as a cancer cure. Wherever there is cancer there is an unscrupulous charlatan eager to part desperate and vulnerable people from their cash in exchange for ineffective 'cures'.

    Maybe ? But there are those that think that Apricot Seeds are the way to go, as far as a potential natural cure.For even more insight do a search on "A World without Cancer." When the page comes up, click onto the Video by G. Edward Griffin of the same title.It's about 55 Minutes long, and well worth viewing.And it's totally free.Then go to http://www.naturalnews.com/ and enter Cancer in the search box at the top of the page, and read through everything that comes up.And check out the rest of the page too.Lots of good info there, and it's totally free as well.

    It isn't.

    Annual papaya consumption in Hawaii is 15 lbs (6.8 kg) per capita, FAR more than almost anywhere else...and yet cancer rates in Hawaii are more or less the same as they are everywhere else.

    No,it only softens things,like a meat tenderiser,and has vitamin a in it .
