Re: paw paw/ papaya---Not the Same ---Thanks, Mustang

January 15, 2006

Hi. Thank you Mustang. I have got it sorted now. To recap: What we call paw

paw is also called

papaya here in Australia. It has giant leaves the shape of maples leaves and has

large football

sized fruit which some dont like because it smells a bit like parmesan

cheese. Every part of it is good, the fruit, the skin, the seeds and the

leaves. It is

these leaves that Australian people have had so much success with in curing

cancer.

However the tree Americans call paw paw is not called papaya as well and is a

completely different species. Asimina triloba. It is the bark and twigs that

seem to be used with this and it is this tree that Jerry McLaughlin has had

success with isolating a cancer fighting component and which is now marketed

under different names, evidently one of them being Cell-Reg.

Thank you.

Hi Toni,

New to this group and being a person who is treating myself for breast cancer

without medical

intervention since 2003. Paw Paw and Papaya are not the same...some regions use

the word Paw Paw

for Papaya...Since I take Paw Paw I have done alot of research on it. I hope

this article helps

clear up the difference in the two.
